About Mezzoid Voice Studio and Curiously Strong Singing
What IS a Mezzoid?
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.)
What IS Curiously Strong Singing/Performing?
Singing that is grounded in a strong sense of technique, whether that’s classical, pop, or musical theater (because it’s not one size fits all)
Singing and/or performing that takes risks and digs deep into the song’s text, its history, and its style
Performing that tells the truth and embraces both standard performance practice and new interpretations
Singing and performing that is confident, consistent, and constantly developing
Performing that welcomes in others as collaborators, as creators, as colleagues, and as an audience
This is what I mean by being curiously strong as a singer and as a performer, and what I want for my students, my colleagues – really anyone who is in my life.
