History
Established in 2013.
I opened Caveness Voice in 2013 out of a desire to reimagine how we talk about, and approach, the voice. Many vocal schools of thought are outdated, stuffy, cookie-cutter, confusing, or - let's face it - just downright cheesy. I aim to demystify the voice and help people understand - and ultimately, embody - their unique voice. Using contemporary vocal technique & a customized-to-each-singer approach, I help students get to the bottom of their vocal issues & re-train their voices so they can sing the way they want to. Over years of studying the voice, working on hundreds of singers' voices, & pulling from my own experience as a vocalist, I've developed a deep understanding & a razor-sharp ear to be able to pinpoint & diagnose vocal issues. Each singer is a unique individual - I firmly believe that voice work is not "one-size-fits-all." Building strong voices from the bottom-up, I guide students through strengthening & really owning their whole instrument - mind, body, and spirit.
