Andy taught me to sing properly, PERIOD. His lessons have held me in good stead throughout my entire professional career, not just as a singer, but as a constant speaker as well.

For the past few years after graduating high school, I started to have a great deal of trouble with my voice as I began to use it more heavily. The trouble was a combination of things. Some of those, I already knew about, but working with Andy opened my mind to other technique issues I hadn't even thought of, as well as expanded my knowledge of my known struggles.

Over only the short time of two months I had to work with Andy before I went to move to Olympia, I learned a world of vocal utilization that no voice teacher had taught me before. I'm now confident that years of depression and sadness about my singing difficulties may just be over.
