Carrie Welling Vocal Coach

Introduction: As a trained vocalist and actor, my growth as an artist has directly paralleled the discovery of my individual voice. The ebb and flow of my creative journey, from harmonizing in all-female bands to my current solo career, taught me the power of the voice in partnership, solidarity and as an instrument in and of itself. I love that it's an instrument anyone can play with the proper guidance. My goal as a voice teacher is to instill that awareness in my students... I pair personal experience with classical training to produce a well-rounded artist with a wide vocal range. I hold a degree in music and performance from The American Music and Dramatic Academy, and currently teach private voice lessons independently and at the Franklin Brentwood Arts Academy in Franklin, TN. Though I love writing and performing, teaching is a passion that fulfills a different side of this ever-evolving artistic life. Working with students to find the confidence to explore their vocal talents while highlighting their individual strengths make my voice lessons an exercise in skill, utilization and stage presence. Simply put, my favorite thing about teaching is the ability to inspire someone to have the confidence to just sing. I believe everyone has it in them, but they sometimes lack the proper training and confidence to just go for it. The voice is a muscle...we must work it out for strength. As a teacher, I love watching my students grow stronger with each lesson, bringing themselves one step closer to achieving their dreams.
