simple. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT THE HUMAN VOICE AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE MANY FACETS OF SINGING, PARTICULARLY STORYTELLING THROUGH SONG!

​

I'M BRYAN, INSTRUCTOR AND STUDIO FOUNDER. I'VE BEEN TRAINING STUDENTS OF VOICE AND THEATRE FOR DECADES AND HAVE FOUND THAT MY BASIC IDEA THAT IF YOU CAN BREATHE, AND YOU CAN SPEAK, THAT YOU CAN SING; THAT SINGING IS INHERENT TO THE HUMAN BEING, IS CORE IN MY TEACHING STYLE, AND WHY IT WORKS. WHETHER BORN WITH A PREDISPOSITION TOWARDS SINGING OR NOT, THERE ARE LEARNABLE SKILLS THAT WE ALL HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF GRASPING AND IMPLEMENTING IN ORDER TO FIND JOY FROM SINGING. I HAVE BEEN A PERFORMER AND CREATOR MY ENTIRE LIFE. HAVING LANDED SQUARELY ON "BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE" OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MY UNIQUE VISUAL APPROACH TO THE VOICE, TO AIR FLOW, AND TO TECHNIQUE, PAIRED WITH A SOLID UNDERSTANDING OF THE PEDAGOGY OF THE INSTRUMENT IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING OUR OWN VOICES AND HOW TO CONVEY STORIES AND EMOTION. THE WAY THAT THE SPEAKING VOICE WE ALREADY USE DAILY RELATES TO THE SINGING VOICE, HOW COMMUNICATION AND IMPETUS DRIVE THE DIAPHRAGM, AND HOW THE TWO INTERRELATE.

​

MY EXPERIENCE AS A LONG TIME PERFORMER AND MEMBER OF ACTORS EQUITY ASSOCIATION, THE DRAMATISTS GUILD, ASCAP AND THE NEW YORK SINGING TEACHERS ASSOCIATION AND  WORKING WITH PEOPLE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME, GAVE GIVEN ME WELL ROUNDED SKILLS TO APPROACH TRAINING EACH VOICE WITH CONFIDENCE AND A HIGH LEVEL OF DIAGNOSTIC AWARENESS. PINPOINTING TENSION AREAS, AND GIVING TOOLS TO RELEASE THEM. 

​

KNOWLEGE AND SELF AWARENESS ARE HALF THE BATTLE, AND WE CONCENTRATE HEAVILY ON BOTH!
