Curiously Strong Singing and Performing
I get that. It took me a long time to stop listening to those voices and to find my own so that I could use it to tell my story.
At Mezzoid Voice Studio, you’ll find your own voice through individualized lessons that meet you where you are and take you to where you can be. You’ll work on developing vocal technique in classical or musical theater style (and maybe we’ll even explore some pop), learning songs that you’ve heard other people sing that you can make your own as well as songs that you’ve never heard before. (Picking repertoire that suits you is my superpower!)
And you’ll have the opportunity to develop performance skills by singing in studio recitals and in studio classes with a supportive community of fellow students, and to attend and possibly participate in masterclasses and workshops with nationally and internationally known artist-clinicians.
It’s me. Back when I sang at the National Shrine in DC as part of the professional choir, my director, the late Leo Nestor, said to my section, “Altoids, let’s try that again.” My response was, “Excuse me, I happen to be a mezzoid.” He said “what’s the difference?” and I said, “I’m still curiously strong, I just happen to sing a minor third higher.” (Cue music nerd laughter here.)
It became a thing. I decided it would be my email handle, and then later my website name, and now, my studio name. There are even a few people who call me Mezzoid. A select few call me Zoid. (FYI: You have to have my permission to do that.)
You can find more info about me (as a teacher and a singer) here.
Mezzoid Voice Studio is committed to serving all of its students,
