Super-Powers: Helping Singers with Injury Recovery and Performance Anxiety
In addition to being an amazing vocal technique teacher, Collin is our go-to guy to help with performance anxiety and injury recovery. Collin’s our dude because of his grounded and calm teaching style – his 2 advanced certificates (one in vocal pedagogy and the other in vocology*)
Collin offers a chill, low-pressure, non-judgmental environment perfect for people who need a balanced environment coupled with a thorough understanding of the voice, vocal health, and the connection between emotions the singer is having and their voice.
Collin’s energy is inclusive and his strong sense of compassion coupled with his technical skill make him an ideal choice for clients who need a calm, well-rounded teacher.
Collin is a Baritone (specifically a “bari-tenor” in musical theater slang) and gives a very student-focused lesson, bringing to bear his anatomical knowledge, physiological awareness, as well as his acoustical and psychological approach from his background as a vocologist*. I also greatly appreciate that he’s able to communicate his ideas in a very accessible way, which I think is really important.
In addition to his teaching, he works as a musical theatre performer in NYC and the Northeast. He’s been in theatre productions at:
- Iris Kantor Theater
- NYC’s Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
- The Provincetown Playhouse
- Bay View Music Festival
- Fort Dodge Society,
- Broadway Dreams Foundation at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
He was a semifinalist for the NATS NYC 2022 National Musical Theatre Voice Competition as well which is kinda a big deal.
* Vocology is the interdisciplinary study of the voice, encompassing its anatomy, physiology, acoustics and psychology. It focuses on understanding and improving vocal function, particularly in professional voice users such as singers, actors, and teachers.
