In a world dominated by mass media, it is easy to lose sight of being true to ourselves. Our faculty come from a wide array of backgrounds of music making and are committed to helping students find their authentic self in whatever they perform. That requires self-exploration, honest dialogue, and the support of a community who believe in what you have to offer. As voice teachers, we are part of that community and we can make a world of difference by cultivating what is unique in each student we encounter. In session III, Marcelle Gauvin leads teachers in discussions of what it means to be authentic and offers tips for cultivating aspiring artists in the voice studio.
