“I founded Ted’s Voice Academy on July 17, 2023, but my journey in vocal coaching stretches back decades—through classrooms, barbershop quartets, chorus directing, and studio teaching.”
Even though not all my speaking clients use it, my revolutionary and proprietary PASS Profile is a powerful, optional complementary tool—like Myers‑Briggs or CliftonStrengths—focusing solely on vocal and communication style. It helps professionals align their innate speaking strengths with leadership presence and brand voice.
Students performing on Broadway, in opera, and in professional recording/touring
Alumni successful in barbershop competitions, chorus performance, and public speaking
