What’s my background? I am a choral singer turned opera singer turned… country singer. Yeah, that took a turn.
I care SO MUCH about YOU sounding like YOU because for the first 25 years of my life, I didn’t sound like me.
But country is what I actually always wanted to do. I dove head first into choir and classical training because I really wanted to sing. I wanted to sing all. the. time. And those were the opportunities available to me in my tiny little middle-of-nowhere town.
But that made singing country music really hard for me. I struggled with certain things about my voice that my classical teachers didn’t know how to solve, on top of often being told the way I really wanted to sing was “wrong.”
I stayed in the classical system all the way through college, thinking eventually I’d find someone with the experience or knowledge to help me, but even in my Music Industry/Commercial Music program, there was no one. I was still training to sing opera.
And after I left school, it took me years to figure out what my next steps should be.
Multiple coaches, text books, methods, experiments, and an amazing opportunity to train + certify as a coach with Vocal Lab Collective later, and I finally feel like I have the voice I’ve always wanted.
And my ONLY goal as a coach is to give you the voice YOU have always wanted – safely and sustainably.
