My Musical Education Background
Hailing from just a half-hour's journey from Hollywood, California—America's glittering epicenter of entertainment—my life has always been magnetized to the lustrous allure of performance. With my vocal journey commencing at the tender age of five, I've been blessed to receive guidance from globally acclaimed mentors, Like Carol Ann Modessit, Dr. Ken Peterson, Laurie Winckel, Norris Chappell Jr., and Tony Award Winner Lisa Seegmiller. Further honing my skills, I immersed myself in studying music and vocal performance at Southern Utah University, with my focus on opera and musical theatre.
I teach the Vocal Balance Technique and am also a Level 1 Certified Voice Teacher of Contemporary Music through CTVA. I aim to help you sing effortlessly from low to high notes, without voice breaks or changes. By mastering this technique, you'll have access to all volumes and tones, enhancing your range, stamina, breath control, and resonance. This approach empowers you to sing any music style without fatigue or damage to your voice. It's all about finding the perfect balance between your airflow and vocal muscle resistance while keeping your voice box relaxed. Let's start this exciting journey together!
