* ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR VOICE TRAINING TO A NEW LEVEL?
Your singing voice has limitless potential. That potential led me to extensive training of the voice as a vocal instrument with each individual having unique qualities only they have. No other Vocal Coach in North America can offer students what mine experience every day. My rare background enables my students to improve more with less effort. These insights, make a huge difference when guiding singers pinpoint and eliminate anything limiting their growth and guiding them to bring out their authentic sound. Don't settle for less!
How can you start? A Vocal Assessment is a great place to start. Another option, is to jump in and take a singing lesson so you can experience what no other training will. Understanding your voice potential through the Vocal Assessment along with training will take your voice where you want it and beyond! If your dream is to perform I'll help you reach that dream too.

A Little About Me and My Background as a Vocal Coach and Voice Expert:
As a Vocal Coach I am lucky to be involved with many interesting projects. I have helped with searches for vocalists for EMI Records, Canadian Idol outreach team, award winning producers and the Sony Centre to name just a few. I have worked with vocalists from Sony/Curve and EMI Records, Universal Music preparing for recording, performing and touring.
My work has been published in the book "The Perfect Rehearsal" written by Dr. Timothy Seelig, Ph.D from the USA in his latest book entitled "The Perfect Rehearsal" in his chapter "Vocal Health in Rehearsal". I am the only Canadian voice expert asked to contribute to his book so I am very appreciative to have been included in a book written by a man of his stature and musical accomplishments. In addition, I have over 180 writings and articles published worldwide.
I have facilitated Voice Clinics at the Mohawk College -- Careers in Music Conference, Winterfolk Folk & Blues Festival, Corporate Public Speaking Conferences, has facilitated training sessions for artists with severe stage fright, ADD, ADHD and anxiety issues and has acted as judge for TIMA (Toronto Independent Music Awards).
I have trained privately through the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, have extensive training in various Speech Singing, such as Speech Level Singing, and have attended the University of Pittsburgh's Contemporary Voice Care Group training to help others maintain and rehabilitate the health of their voices. I also have my certification in Educational Kinesiology which speeds up the learning process and creates a balance between the technical and creative mind. Incorporating that balance while singing is important to bring out your best and full voice. I am a member of SOCAN.
Because the voice is complex it requires expertise that knows all the aspects of the voice in order to train it properly for life-long use. I am grateful for all the courses and doctors who have taught and mentored me particularly the University of Pittsburgh whose expertise on voice greatly enhances my role as a Vocal Coach. The benefits that come from this level of expertise for my students are much greater than I ever expected they would be. Topics learned include:
- Laryngeal Stroboscopy
- Transnasal Esophagoscopy
- Functional Endoscopic Evaluations of Swallowing
- Phono Microsurgery
- Laryngeal Framework Surgery
- Vocal Fold Injection
- Contemporary Voice Therapy
I have also received training from UPMC University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Needless to say, when it comes to the overall health and longevity of your voice you have come to the right place!
When I help a vocalist develop their instrument "vocal" and "style" techniques are used allowing the voice to reach its greatest potential. Some people overlook that and simply imitate singers or styles, which never develops the voice properly or produces the unique qualities of their voice. Often they receive voice information not relevant to their specific voice needs. This results in confusion about how to sing which does not produce results, only frustration. I'm here to help you work through the maze of information and set you on the right track.
