Here are the 2010 New York Reader's Choice results for categories dealing with classes and coaches. To look at all of the categories, be sure to visit the main page. Favorite Vocal/Singing Coach: Jackie Presti "Singing is a big coordination act, and I think a lot of people come in focusing on one aspect," says voice therapist and teacher Jackie Presti. "It's sort of like juggling and riding a bike and reciting Shakespeare at the same time."Clearly, Presti, who's also a singer, musician, and conductor, hits the right notes with her students. Her knowledge of both technical and artistic matters, not to mention her versatility and flexibility as a teacher, appealed to Valerie Ryan Miller, who has studied with her for three years.

During awards season, the greatest anticipation is always built up for shows like the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes — high-profile stages for the largest of talents, but more importantly the largest of stars. The Oscars may honor representatives from a wide variety of categories, but it’s no secret that the emphasis is placed firmly on the so-called “big races” — actor, actress, director, picture. It’s a shame that the technical categories so often get lost in the shuffle at these big events, but it’s all the more reason to hold events like the Golden Reels, an audio/sound design awards show, which held its 57th annual show over the weekend in Los Angeles.
Organized by The Motion Picture Sound Editors (Mpse), the awards honor the various areas of sound editing: Dialogue & Adr, Effects & Foley, and Music. This year’s honors paid dues to several science fiction productions,...
