Welcome! My name is Karmyn Tyler, and I am a professional singer/actress and vocal teacher/technician. In my journey to become a vocal artist, I struggled to find the proper technique that allowed me to sing both classical and musical theatre. Being a professional vocalist, I had to find something that worked safely and worked NOW.
When I entered college in 1993, I had high hopes for my voice. My usable range was quite large for my age: G3 to E6. During my collegiate training, I began to notice problems: jaw pain that I had never had before, loss of breath control, and forced high notes that used to feel so natural. Unfortunately, because of this training, I left college with a shrunken range: A3 to Ab5; I had lost more than an octave.
In 1995 I won Miss Louisiana (Miss America). I was blessed to receive a scholarship for the rest of school. One of the colleges that provided the money was the University of Louisiana Monroe. I decided to take summer sessions with Dr. Weidman. He quickly realized that I had been given the wrong Fach and technique for my voice type and encouraged me that I could regain my voice.
However, I decided to stop singing and focus on acting. The closest acting community was Dallas, Texas. I was picked up by the Ivett Stone Agency and began booking national commercials, TV spots, and films. Along the way, I worked with Don Shook of the (then) Actors Company in Dallas, TX. Don listened to my vocal story and told me about his teacher, Bill Bauer, who introduced me to the best technique.
Bill became my vocal mentor and saving grace. He taught me how to release the tension of poor training and build a technique that lasts a lifetime! I am forever in his debit as my Angel of Voice!
Along with his guidance and genius, he helped me develop a safe, powerful technique for all vocal genres. I’m so confident that this method will work that I can guarantee your singing and/or speaking voice will be the best!
And I’d like to help YOU!
Whether you are a beginner, want a solid technique, or have experienced bad training and need to retrain, I guarantee this method will work for you!
Since 1998, I have taught both singing and acting. I have had the honor of working with some amazing students, including American Idol finalist Rachel Hale, Singer/Songwriter Sara Skinner (aka KillBoy), Actress Molly Quinn, Actor John R Colley, Ark-La-Tex country star Klancy Johnson, singer/actress Tara Clem, and many, many more.
Here are some examples of how I can help: vocal node/polyp elimination therapy, increasing vocal range, eliminating “breaks” in your range, supported sound, vocal muscle building technique, natural breathing techniques for singing, body alignment, conquering performance anxiety, stage presence, song interpretation, and positive internal programming.
