Introduction
BÜLENT GÜNERALP VOICE STUDIO | ONLY ONLINE "I'm speechless! I can't believe the sounds that are coming out of my own face!"- Chanelle F., Virginia (pop, R&B) ~~~~~~~~ Bülent Güneralp is an award-winning artist and a trailblazing voice expert who is at home in diverse genres from opera to American Songbook, the creator of The Vocathletic System for Voice, Singing & Speech, and a member of NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing). He is described by The Times Herald-Record, New York, as a firm bass-baritone, by The Boston Musical Intelligencer as dramatically and musically outstanding, and by Appcompanist as an incredible singer and teacher. Mr. Güneralp has helped singers achieve in a single lesson things they have not been able to accomplish even after years of prior vocal training. A litany of superb and enthusiastic reviews speak for themselves. His students come from diverse paths such as classical, opera, musical theater, jazz, American Songbook, pop, R&B, gospel, country, rock, heavy metal and public speaking. He specializes in helping students of all ages and backgrounds discover and express their natural voice in the most efficient way possible, which they can apply to any musical genre or vocal field. Beginner to professional, all ages and voice types are welcome. WHAT STUDENTS SAY "The reviews on Bulent's website are nothing short of unbelievable, which is to say, I literally did not believe them at first. But after my first lesson, it became clear to me where those reviews came from..." - Alan L., Massachusetts (jazz) "I wish I could give this review 100 stars!.. Bulent is the whole package! His knowledge, expertise and in-depth teaching style surpass that of any teacher I have ever worked with and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found him. In one lesson with Bulent I have already learned more than I had learned after almost 3 years with 4 other teachers!!!..."- Della L., Texas (pop, R&B, jazz) “I began studying voice last year in the US as a complete beginner without any classical or operatic background and speaking only English, and this year I found myself singing a varied repertoire from opera, oratorio, art song, and musical theater in multiple languages on a festival stage in Spain... I’d like to profoundly thank my voice teacher and mentor Bülent Güneralp for being a truly amazing and pivotal figure in my life who, in just a year, inspired personal, vocal and artistic growth in ways that I could never have imagined.” - Kenan Oktay, Massachusetts (opera, crossover) "Amazing! Simply amazing! I've taken lessons before, but none have ever stood out as much as this first one... Can't wait for the next one!" - Nestor C., Texas (R&B) "I’ve worked with Bulent for over ten years and have posted several in-depth and glowing reviews. However, here I want to talk about ONLINE lessons and what separates an excellent online voice teacher from a true master like Bulent. It’s simply this: even with the less-than-desirable audio and video of an online lesson, Bulent’s ability to hear how I am properly or improperly using my anatomy while I sing is positively uncanny. Even during an online lesson Bulent hears and sees the subtlest cues and indications and tells me precisely what I need to shift to have the desired result. If you ever doubted you could learn to sing online...don’t...check Bulent out...he’s a vocal Jedi." - Jack V., France (jazz, blues) "Bulent worked with me - a total stranger - with great care, deep knowledge, and a gentle desire to see me improve. And this is all the FIRST LESSON... I give my highest recommendation." - Geoff L., Tennessee (pop) REACTIONS TO FIRST LESSONS "... just in one lesson I vocalized to high C with the knowledge he gave me. I actually, for the first time, knew how I did it. It was incredible. I was so happy that for the first time in years of voice training in upstate New York, 10 years in Manhattan, New York City, studying with teachers who sang at New York City Opera and the Metropolitan Opera, and not one of them was able to teach me what Bulent taught me in one lesson..." - Fausto Di I. (opera) "...I thought that 25 years would put me in a position of feeling like I knew something about vocalizing, but one lesson with Bulent has demonstrated to me how much about singing I still don't know." - Luciano R. (pop) "Bulent is an amazing and well seasoned teacher. From just two lessons I learned more about the mechanisms of singing than I had in 15 years or so of amateur singing... Thank you, Bulent!" - Kim R. (pop, R&B) "My first lesson with Bulent was truly eye-opening." - Quang H. (musical theater) "I’ve been singing all my life and I have never met such an amazing coach... I learned so much in one session and I cannot wait to learn more." - Yasmine K. (jazz, R&B) "Bulent is a true professional. He exemplifies what I was looking for in a teacher. Not only is he clearly a powerful vocalist in his own right, he is also gracious and considerate as a teacher." - De K. (voice/speech) "After just one lesson I noticed a huge difference in my voice. My voice sounded stronger, better supported and had depth and resonance that I had not been able to produce in years!!" - Rocco I. (opera)

It was a great experience working with Bulent. At first I was not sure about it, never having done virtual lessons before, but he was amazingly helpful preparing for singing at my best friend's wedding. I like his method of teaching very much and his comments and teachings are very perceptive and on point. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to taking their voice skill to another level.

I was hesitate at first to follow my dreams to be a singer. I wasn't confident in my voice because I had issues with perfecting my pitches and I had poor breathing techniques. One day I finally decided to hire a vocal coach. I came across many vocal coaches ads but Bulent Guneralp was the one ad that stuck out to me. So I decided to give it a try. I thought I would be wasting my money on lessons because I didn't think I would gain anything from the lessons. I started taking singing lessons with Bulent Guneralp back in August. At first, I didn't understand any of the singing exercises. It was something new and a challenge I had to accomplish. Bulent Guneralp is very patient and understanding when it comes to his students. Overtime I was able to perfect the singing exercises and understand how the singing exercises actually helped improved my breathing technique when I sing. I recorded myself singing last week and was amazed of how my voice sounded. Bulent Guneralp has helped me gain confidence in my voice because I didn't know how my voice should sound. Thanks Bulent Guneralp!

Bulent is the real deal. He doesn't waste time doing things that won't work. He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in his field and even after a few lessons with him, I could tell the difference in my singing right away. Highly recommend him to any prospective or current singers.

Bulent is a great teacher, professional and passionate about what he does. In the first lesson, I was grateful for his comprehensive and clear discussion of the anatomy and physiology of breathing and singing, how the sound travels in the body to the resonance chambers, and how to properly vocalize. I felt it helped me to understand more clearly what is actually happening when I sing. Bulent is enthusiastic about singing and teaching, and I appreciate that he has different ways of describing things, including many helpful metaphors. I highly recommend him!
