Orville Heyn >>> The Singer's Body, A Singing Class

“Every time I hear “Lead Me To Your Rock” I am amazed at your ability to pull a performance like that out of me! Telma Hopkins sings gospel? No way! And that's exactly what I said to you when we spoke for the first time. I've always been more Karen Carpenter than Aretha Franklin. And while I will never be a threat to her, what you got out of me in two days was a miracle in my book! Wrong key, wrong song {for me}, but what results! I felt fearless! Thank you so much for teaching me something new about myself. "The Singer's Body" is real, people!

Mike Myers said it best when I told him, “I was apprehensive before I worked with Orville. I don't sing gospel". He said, "Well, you do now!" 'Nuff said!”

A Unique Multidisciplinary Approach
Orville draws from areas beyond singing to create a holistic approach to training your voice. Among these are Effortless Mastery (a path to creative freedom as devised by Kenny Werner*), the Alexander Technique (an approach to body alignment), Vipassana meditation (a way of awakening the body to sensation), Ashtanga Yoga, the martial arts, actors’ improvisation and scene study.

Orville Heyn combines all of these disciplines with a foundation based on Italian classical vocal technique to strengthen any style of singing.
