  • The Singer'S Sanctuary
    Founder/Voice Teacher
    The Singer'S Sanctuary Jul 2015 - Aug 2020
    Private Voice Teacher for contemporary singers. I work with Musical Theatre, Pop, Rock, Hard Rock and Metal singers. I teach students how to use their God-given instrument in the most natural, unhindered, efficient way possible. This includes teaching them proper breath support (appogio), making it all one voice-connecting the bottom, middle and top ranges of your voice to create one seamless contiguous voice. How to vary the amount of chord depth to be able to sing from thin to thick depending on the needs of the song. Giving edge, bite and power to your voice by eliminating any breath that is escaping unused through the vocal cords and using proper support to feed the voice only the amount of air it needs for that note. How to add emotion and vocal distortion to your songs. Telling the story of the song.
