Voice Teacher - Seoul

Voice instructor teaching in the Seoul area.. Current students consist of classical, opera, pop/rock, punk, reggae,
indie, funk, voice actors, teachers, electronica singers, and patients with damaged vocal instruments.

I have a Master's of Music Degree in Vocal Arts Pedagogy and Opera Performance (with a concentration on vocal
pedagogy/voice science) from the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, and a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in Music Performance and Education from Luther College, and am the founder of the Camarata Music Company in
Seoul (http://www.camaratamusic.com). Along with formal study in vocal pedagogy, I have also formally studied the
physics of sound and acoustics. A classically trained musician, I have studied with Nina Hinson (Metropolitan
Opera, San Francisco Opera, Santa Fe Opera, German Staatsoper), Shigemi Matsumoto (San Francisco Opera,
Metropolitan Opera), Gary Glaze (New York City Opera), and renowned vocal coach/composer, Alan Smith. I have also
worked with renowned stage directors, such as: Ken Cazan, David Gately, and Vincent Liotta, performing in numerous
operas and musicals. I have performed all over the US, on the West Coast, on the East Coast, including New York
City, and in Scandanavia, with companies including the Janiec Opera Company (NC), Seagle Music Colony (NY), Cedar
Rapids Opera (IA), USC Opera (LA), and Center Stage Opera (LA) in opera, oratorio, musical theater,
film/television, and voice acting..

I teach healthy vocal technique, and develop each of my students technical vocal ability to their best. My prime
concern in students is to correct vocal faults, and teach how to sing in a healthy, free, natural way that allows
the student to also teach themselves, by teaching them to hear and "feel" the voice objectively. Although I am
personally classically trained, however, I have success with all genres of music, as the basis of vocal production
is the same, no matter what type of music you sing. Most great musicians, such as Mick Jaggar and Steven Tyler
study, even today, with classical instructors, as they know the science behind vocal production in and out, and
teach them how to produce their sound in a natural, healthy way. These same principles very much hold true for
voice actors.

I also work with people who have damaged their voice, through non-invasive vocal therapy. This consists of a
variety of exercises designed at improving the quality of the speaking voice, minimizing pressure put on the vocal
folds, proper breath support, and promote proper speaking technique. Over 95% of people speak incorrectly, which is
why, as people age, the voice weakens and changes. With correct and proper speaking technique, the speed of aging
in the voice greatly reduces. I have had a lot of success with many professional voice users, such as voice actors,
teachers, business people, singers with prior vocal damage, and numerous other heavy voice using professionals.
