Creating Sensational Vocal Journeys
Dorine is one of the best parts of my day – her love for learning and ability to explore different ‘colors’ in her voice is unmatched. She has a warm, rich lower quality to her voice and was very hesitant when we started and I told her she had higher notes hiding in there… we …
Rae and I have only been working together for a short time – but her presence in the studio is a delight. Her curiosity and background (currently training to be a doctor) helps us to approach her singing with a scientific focus. We’ve been working on opening up her gorgeous voice into a solid belt! …
World, meet Samantha! She is an extremely talented performer with a passion for knowledge. Due to her love of the human voice, we can really dive into the scientific aspects of singing. She has killer pipes and can sing any style you need (even at 9am). Hello!! My name is Samantha Gibbs, and this is …

Last week I was on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai, exploring beaches and celebrating my brother’s marriage. For my entire life, I have been terrified of heights. Seeing The Lion King on Broadway many years ago was ruined after sitting in the balcony front row. The entire time, I was nervous that my little …
This year marks 11 years since my vocal surgery. As a successful performer and voice teacher, I want to continue to reshare my story to get rid of the stigma surrounding vocal injuries. Professional singers are vocal athletes, injuries can happen just like a professional athlete. I want to continue to stress vocal health and …
For the past four months, I have been consistently training to run my first marathon. I’ve mapped out my runs each week, a long run on the weekends and two others that are half of the long run. This isn’t an official marathon or anything, it’s more of a “can I do it?” energy. More …
