Tiffany the teacher and coach…
“Singing in any style must be organic. If your technique doesn’t serve the text, character and emotion then you must reconsider the way you approach the technique. You must be trained, athletic and TRUTHFUL in your performances in order for your audience to have an emotional experience. THAT is why we do what we do!" -- Dr. Maryann Kyle
The quote above is from our dear mentor and friend, Dr. Maryann Kyle and we could not agree more! We are both very passionate about exceptional singing rooted in healthy vocal technique that allows us the freedom to create something honest and compelling every time we step on stage in ANY musical style we choose to perform.
About Our Studio…
We are “PEDAGEEKS”!
Understanding Vocal Science and Acoustics and using that in voice building our “baseline” or natural voice allows us the freedom to express the uniquely beautiful voice we have been given. From there we can then cross train so that we can perform across multiple styles and genres.
We are VOCAL ATHLETES!
Vocal health is incredibly important, especially in cross-training. Being able to sing across multiple styles requires flexibility and finesse. We love to get in the vocal gym and work it out! Opera, Jazz, Broadway, Pop, Gospel…you name it! Let’s GO!
We love TO PLAY!
At the heart of our studio is a sense of play. Singing and Acting are creative processes and we want to create a safe space to explore and create together.
We love to SHARE COMPELLING STORIES
No one wants to see your technique on stage. They want to see and feel the emotions, intentions and the heartbeat of the text you share. Your technique is the foundation that allows you to fully give yourself over the text, the character and the story you are sharing. It is there to support you but not to bind you.
We. Never want to forget “THE WHY”
What made you want to want to perform in the first place? What makes you have to Sing? Dance? Act? What makes you HAVE to tell stories? It is a JOY. If is FUN. It is BEAUTIFUL. It is HARD WORK. It takes COURAGE…To quote Jo in Little Women, It is a “fire within me” and we never want to lose the spark.
“The voice is not THE THING. The TEXT is the THING. The voice SERVES the thing…which is your character…their intentions…their emotions…their story. ‘When your technique and your artistry are joined together they free you to create something honest, grounded and captivating every time you step on stage. THAT is a beautiful thing and THAT is the goal.’ ”
