MUSICAL THEATRE
VOICE TRAINING:

Optimize your expression.

Do you ever:​

  • love your voice lessons but feel disconnected once you leave the studio?

​

  • wonder if you have to learn to "sing classically" before you can sing contemporary styles?

​

  • feel like you're only ever putting Band-Aid fixes on your singing?
     

  • get lost in all the different "right" ways of breathing you've been told? 

​

  • question what lip trills have to do with singing Let It Go?

​

I can help.
Singing is both intuitive and deeply connected to identity. At the same time, it can be understood through clear, trainable skills that give you reliable access to your full expressive voice.

Philosophy

Singing, like any instrument, is a learnable, trainable skill everyone can develop. Combining sturdy technique with unique artistry allows for transcendence to a supernatural, magical place.

Inclusivity

Our studio is a place that celebrates every artist regardless of background, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, political affiliation, physical or mental ability, or any other identity category.
