Debra Lynn: Home
As an internationally-recognized Voice Instructor and Singer, Debra Lynn, understands that the pitfalls of the spoken Americanized English language cause our vocal discomfort as singers. Her ability to assist others to find the ease of their true pure voice is anchored in Bel Canto (Beautiful Singing), the 19th Century superior Italianate method that delivers rapid and dramatic results for contemporary singers of all abilities!
The serendipitous dovetail between bel canto technical understanding and the demands of the barbershop style is bringing heightened performance results to this musical tradition, currently experiencing a worldwide resurgence.
Her two-part article "Sing like an Italian" appeared in the November/December 2010 and January/February 2011 issues of The Harmonizer, the Barbershop Harmony Society's (BHS) trade magazine. Debra recently presented her "Barbershop and the Bel Canto Buzz" classes at the 2011 International Men's BHS Convention in Kansas City, as well as regionally here in New England at Harmony College Northeast.
Her instructional warm-up CDs are available for both Men and Women on this site, that align and strengthen the voice, preparing it to sing with more ease. (See the "Buy" page for information)
For more personal assistance, this successful coach conducts private Skype sessions,for individuals and quartets, to assist her clientele to exponentially increase their effectiveness in the competitive world of singing, all in the privacy of one's home or office.
Debra's Inspirational CD - Heaven in Your Heart - was one of six finalists for a 2009 Na Hoku Hanohano Award in Hawai'i and is also available through this site.
This is what others have said about Debra's coaching and singing:
"For those Barbershoppers that remember the late, great Dr. Paul Mayo, Debra Lynn is the next step in vocal training! She did exactly what I needed her to do - she fixed my voice! If your car is not running right, you take it to an auto mechanic; if your voice has an issue, take it to Debra!" ~Brent Graham, Bari, GQ
"My secret weapon!...Thank you for giving me the chorus of my dreams!" ~Lindi Bortney, Maiden Vermont
"My (30min) lesson with you was maybe the most practical and productive vocal instruction I have ever had. I was a little surprised that you could easily diagnose some core production issues and then just as easily correct them. I feared that I had lost my "lead" range and am delighted that you showed me where I left it!" ~Matt Taylor
"The session with Debra was extremely beneficial. I was glad my whole quartet was able to participate, but I'd like to have an hour of individual work next time Debra is in town." ~John Carlotto, Bari, Easy Listenin'
"I was very happy with my session with Debra. I was able to put the changes to good use the next day in several church services, despite my lingering cold." ~Brian Balk, Bass, St. Anthony Main
"A voice that will touch your soul and open your heart." ~Rev. Mary Omwake
"Debra Lynn's passion and love shine through her voice..." ~Kate Michaels, Recording Artist
