Creating Sensational Vocal Journeys
As we head into the holiday season, regularly checking in with a group of like-minded people is a must (virtually, or very socially-distanced). Since the start of this month, I have been part of a Purpose Seeker Training Program with Becca Brunelle (who I cannot recommend highly enough). With this group, we are given daily …
I am a classically-trained singer who was told for many years that belting would ruin my voice. After my dream European-opera career did not work out, I started getting hired to sing legitimate musical theatre — around this same time, I was also starting to teach private voice lessons. Wanting to stay on top of …
It has been two weeks since the last blog post — I was lucky enough last week to get out of Center City Philadelphia to go hiking and soak in the outdoors. Tensions have been high everywhere and with COVID cases rising at the moment, there is continued uncertainty in the air. As an empath, …
As many of my students know, in addition to founding Starling Voice Studio I am also a professional actor/singer and have been for quite some time. My path to singing hasn’t been the easiest, but through this journey I have become a better singer and teacher. I’m happy to share my story with anyone who …
Hi there! I hope you have big plans for the holiday weekend – my husband and I are basically watching Hamilton on repeat the entire time and CANNOT WAIT FOR IT!
I wanted to tell you about online summer course offerings that are starting next week – Voice Lesson Bootcamp is a 4 week first voice lesson crash course. No singing experience necessary — this was created from many first lessons that I have taught over the years. This is for those of you who have always wanted to try a first voice lesson, get back into singing after a break period, etc. Whatever it is, quarantine is the best time to learn a brand new skill!
Monthly Masterclass is offered in a single workshop format both in July & August. Sign up for a slot to be privately coached on whatever you need at that time – stick around to watch and learn from other clients who are working on similar things to you, allowing us all to learn from one another.
Announcing… Cabaret For All! This is open to everyone outside of the Starling community. When you sign up, you will get a brief coaching with me beforehand (nail that high note) then a live streamed concert with access to the video afterwards.
Happy Fourth and I look forward to hearing from soon!

Several students in my studio are currently in the process of preparing for their collegiate auditions for BFA programs across the country. Are you trying to find the best program for you? MajoringinMusic.com wrote a short blog post talking about several things to look for in a program. Playbill just released their Top 10 Schools …
Dear Friends, I am excited to announce that I am back in the university game. This upcoming fall, I will be teaching at Molloy College in their CAP21 Program working with incoming BFA students. See you around the big apple!
Whew – If you are living on the East Coast at the moment – we are having a heatwave! It reminded me of a song from Kiss Me Kate – “It’s Too Darn Hot” – a show I was lucky to do while at NYU Steinhardt. Here’s a clip from the 2019 Tony Awards Having …
Happy Friday, everyone! Looking for something to do tonight? Come see the students of Starling Voice Studio (and their instructor) sing at 7:30pm, breaking in the brand new cabaret space at Philly Improv Theater! Facebook event link here. See you tonight!
This past weekend, I went to my 4th (?) Annual Voice Foundation Symposium of which I am an active member. It’s been a year since I’ve graduated from NYU Steinhardt’s Advanced Certification in Vocal Pedagogy and I’ve noticed this year that the plethora of knowledge I was given during my two years at graduate school …
