The Author

My current work with young singers in my private studio, public workshops and master classes convinced me of the need to share the tools and techniques I’d learned from personal experience. After a near picture perfect run towards my ultimate goal of singing with the world’s number one opera houses, conductors and orchestras, I was faced with debilitating performance anxiety. My search for answers to help overcome the fear that threatened to prevent me from doing what I loved most led me to the optimal performance methods of noted sports and performance psychologists like Barry Green, Timothy Gallwey, Don Green and Alma Thomas. My desire to adapt the concepts of sports/performance psychology to the unique challenges facing singers was the driving force behind Nail Your Next Audition, The Ultimate 30 – Day Guide for Singers.
