Free from Vocal/Physical Hindrances. A vital element of my practice is connecting singers with the primal function of their voices - communication. Calling out, crying, sighing, etc. are things we do naturally without over-complication. Contrastly, when we go to “sing,” we bring with us our own complex and often conflicting ideas of what singing is meant to feel or sound like. I aim to ensure that my students’ singing voices are optimally balanced in their glottal closure and sub-glottal breath pressure, are tension-free, and are as uniquely expressive as the singer. Free from Expectations. Each voice must be free from the student’s pre-existing expectations of what singing is supposed to feel or sound like. Most of us begin our vocal journeys as listeners. We hear the voices of singers we admire and yearn to recreate that sound or feeling ourselves. This is not a problem until it becomes one: when a student tries so hard to emulate someone else’s voice that they start making unhealthy vocal choices with their own. Each voice is unique with its own timbre and strengths. A celebration of individuality. I believe in celebrating the unique qualities of each voice and integrating them into the fabric of the lessons. I work with each student to collaboratively build a brave space in the studio where mistakes are welcomed as valuable learning experiences. The vocal warm-ups I choose for each student are thoughtfully selected and tailored just for them based on their goals and the demands of the songs we’ll be singing. Having been a classroom teacher for many years, my vocal instruction is accompanied by an acknowledgment and utilization of each singer’s learning style. I ask my singers to connect with the songs they sing and find a way to express the text in a way that feels honest to them. Finding the primal cause (motivation) of the song combined with years of technical expertise in building healthy, vibrant voices encourages a voice that functions freely, is able to respond musically and dramatically with thoughtful choices, and reflects the individuality of the singer. https://aidandavisstudio.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2025-12-12 https://aidandavisstudio.com/bio daily 0.75

that have been performed by theatrical companies across NYC, the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida, and at venues like Don’t Tell Mamas and Joe’s Pub. Check out my most recent project - an eerie, sexy mashup of Eurythmic’s “Sweet Dreams” with Nina Simone’s “I Put a Spell on You.” I’m on the keys, Lindsay Burstedt on guitar, Matt Sharfglass on bass, Jenn Bornstein on vocals.
