About

I have degree in Music in Vocal Performance from UNC Charlotte. I studied with Jeanette LoVetri one of the pioneers of developing the healthy belt in musical theatre. I have studied acting with several prominent acting instructors in NYC, England, Poland, North Carolina, and Georgia. I teach at an acting studio that offers group classes. I teach Voiceover, Musical Theatre, Acting for Stage/Camera, Improv, Singing Lessons, Private Acting Lessons, Business of Actinng Consultations, and Audition Tapings. I focus on a holistic approach to the genres making sure that it incorporates the entire body and mind. In these artistic endeavors your entire self is the instrument.

I enjoy encouraging my students to develop confidence in their craft and preparing them to succeed in their endeavors. The light bulb moments when concepts connect are the most satisfying to see.

    Daniel is more than just a vocal coach; hes a true inspiration and a remarkable human being. From the moment I started taking lessons with him, I knew I was in the presence of greatness. His expertise and passion for music are evident in every session, and he consistently goes above and beyond to bring out the best in his students.
    Under his guidance, my vocal abilities have flourished beyond my wildest dreams. He helped me discover new aspects of my voice and nurtured my confidence to showcase my talent. But it goes beyond music; Daniels caring and compassionate nature made a profound impact on my life. He supported me through challenges, celebrated my achievements, and believed in me even when I doubted myself.
    His positivity and encouragement have been a driving force, not only in my musical journey but in all aspects of life. Daniels influence reaches far beyond the studio; hes a mentor and a friend. I am forever grateful for the significant impact he has had on my life, and I can confidently say that anyone fortunate enough to learn from him will experience the transformative power of his teaching and his genuine, caring spirit. Thank you, Daniel, for making such a meaningful difference in my life.

    Whenever we were in a lesson together, he would always find a method that worked to help me grow as a performer. In other studios I felt like I didn’t learn much, but Daniel always found a way to teach me new skills!

    I loved the way Daniel made everyone feel very comfortable and how it felt like the class were friends rather than just teacher and student. But this never got in the way of professionalism as while Daniel made us feel very welcome he would always give us the criticisms and notes on what we need to work on and how exactly to improve in an area we would be struggling in. Even if not everyone had the same issue Daniel would have the whole class do the exercise that would help resolve the issue so that if anyone else ever had the same issue they would also know how to fix the problem. Outside of acting Daniel would also teach us other skills we would need in the job like how to edit audio and how to add it to a clip and also how to properly work audio recording software. Daniel also taught us tactics and how to put variety and emotion into our scripts to help elevate our performances. Daniel also always had recommendations for places to record of ways to find work and was always willing to help if you didnt understand something or if you wanted to record your audition or demo reel in the studio.

    Daniel is both knowledgable and experienced in vocal performance, and easy to work with. As a child actor, I was concerned about who my own daughter would be studying voice with. During our first lesson Daniel shared with me his education, background, experience and vocal techniques. He immediately put me at ease; my daughter continued to study with him for many years and has grown tremendously both in her voice, her performance confidence, and has been sought after by many agents in the show business world. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone that loves to sing and wants to be taught the proper technique and style to pursue their passion.

    Frequently asked questions

    I begin with getting to know the the student and what they are passionate about in their art. We set goals and a direction to proceed that will benefit them depending on their desire for self actualization or making this a career. Exercises and real world experience are what we follow to make these a reality.

    I have a Bachelor's degree in music in Vocal Performance. I have also extensively studied theatre and dance while in college. While in New York I studied with Jeanette LoVetri who focuses on the holistic whole body approach to singing, specifically the development of belting technique that is healthy for the voice which is a developing concept in the field. My Acting training has been with several premiere instructors like Susan Batson, Bob McAndrew, Lon Bumgarner, in addition to workshops with influential talent agents and casting directors in the field of on camera and stage acting. I have been teaching for over 5 years in a studio setting and privately for 10.

    I began teaching when I was in college and helping some of my theatre friends who had never taken voice lessons. I learned that I had a passion for helping people realize and come to solutions themselves and be aware of what they are doing rather than just giving an answer. The why's of the technique and how it happens are the most important if you want to adjust to your situation.

    I have worked with students of all ages, and all levels of work experience. From first time actor or singer to established professional in the entertainment industry. I have done this in person and virtually.
