My Story
When I left undergrad with classical vocal training, I found that I was constantly struggling to apply the techniques I learned to popular sounds for Musical Theatre and jazz gigs. My voice teacher was amazing and I credit them with so very much, but I felt like I was using trial and error on so many things when I left their studio. Through the years of performing, I found things that worked for me to get the sound I wanted... but that often depended on me having a "good voice day."
That has all changed now.
Thanks to One Voice, I know exactly HOW to make the sounds I WANT to make WHEN I want to make them. I know that a "good voice day" is not a thing! Not only do I feel like I am in control of my instrument, but I also learned that I can do so much more than I thought I could. When I started learning One Voice, my top note was an A4... and that was a strain. I can now sing an A4 with ease and climb even higher. I am extremely passionate about sharing this growth with you. I will always be rooting for you and by your side to help you practice honesty: there is no good or bad; you either did what you set out to do or you didn't. If you did... great! If you didn't... also great! That's how you learn, so let's just fix it and learn together! With years of experience as a singer, actor, and VO actor, I am excited to help you unlock the potential that I know you have.
So let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
