I help musical theatre folk sing great, feel confident, and get to work. I teach musical theatre voice and pedagogy at Boston Conservatory at Berklee. 25+ years as a working actor -- Broadway, National Tour, international, and regional houses. I've made every mistake a singing actor can make and survived the snarky online comments.
