The path to becoming a voice Teacher
Origin Story
As the youngest of 4 I grew up watching my older siblings do theatre and perform in school. Listening to my siblings practice in our living room, my parents learned that I naturally picked up music when they recorded a video of me singing "Great Balls of Fire" just from listening to my brother practice everyday. I even performed it in the middle of a restaurant!
A Revelation
At age 11, I asked my parents for voice lessons. After my first recital. my soul came alive and felt at home instantly singing in front of people. By the time I was a teenager, it became a dream of mine to run my own vocal studio. Throughout junior high and high school, I did musical theatre camps and auditioned for shows any chance I could get. Because my friends and peers knew I had been taking private lessons, they started asking me to listen to their songs and give feedback. Having a naturally analytical mind, I reveled in the challenge of assessing their voices and trying to fix things that sounded hard.
Experience
By my junior year of high school, I started getting paid to teach lessons to my friend's little sister. I continued to teach through my senior year, then moved to Utah for college. While working through my music degree, I taught friends and peers how to master their voices and overcome performance anxiety. In 2018, I got a job teaching at a local voice studio where I taught students of all ages and skill levels how to sing in pop, rock, and musical theatre styles. I helped prepare them for auditions, performances, taught them how to connect to their audiences, and how to pronounce that pesky Italian song. In 2024, I decided it was time to pursue my ultimate dream of being my own boss and running my own studio!
Currently
Singing at Tiffany's
Obviously, I am running my own business! Having never taken advantage of my name, I decided it was at last time to play on the classic movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's". The convenient coincidence of my love for jewelry and my favorite color being Tiffany blue led Singing at Tiffany's to be born. People who take lessons from me can literally come sing at Tiffany's, in person or virtually, as I teach out of my apartment in Utah.
The Other Job
In addition to being a voice teacher, I am a professional audio engineer for live sound. Having had the opportunity to mix Broadway singers such as Derek Klena and Dallyn Bayles, I have also had the honor of mixing professional musician groups, go on tour, and mix at theatres across the state of Utah. I am now back at my Alma Mater, BYU, teaching the paid student crew how to use our industry-standard equipment, explaining the laws of sound physics/acoustics, and coaching them through the nuances of mixing every genre of music imaginable.
Well-Rounded Podcast
About a year ago, I decided to get out of my comfort zone and start a podcast! Having the audio knowledge and equipment already, getting started was somewhat simple. Proud of the fact that I am a well rounded person and musician, I use my podcast to talk about all of the other things I am interested in. I invite guests to come teach us about their jobs and impart their wisdom. Feel free to become Well-Rounded with me every Wednesday by listening from wherever you get your podcasts.
