About the Event

“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.” – Malala Yousafzai

Have you ever wondered how to find your own true voice? We can’t think of a better person to help guide you on that journey than renowned Master Voice Teacher Mary Setrakian, the inspirational and respected vocal coach to Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy Award-winning artists, Broadway stars, as well as singers, actors, and music lovers around the world who simply love to sing.

The Mary Setrakian Method not only unlocks the potential of the voice, but also frees the human spirit. Now Mary’s book, SING, Find Your True Voice, breaks down the ten elements of her process, The Revolutionary Send, which connects voice technique with the emotional life. Mary’s students don’t just say their singing gets better– they say that working with Mary changes their life.

Mary joins Susan McBeth on Fireside on March 15 to talk about her book, SING, Find Your True Voice. Mary will share her techniques that empower and heal the voice, as well as some of the stories about personally working with stars (like Nicole Kidman, Mary J. Blige, Kerry Washington, James Gandolfini, Bella Thorne), her students from around the world, and even those who think they can’t carry a tune.

Now, with the interactive new functionality of the Fireside virtual platform, YOU are invited and encouraged to participate live as she not only answers all of your singing questions, but she will also diagnose your speaking voice on the spot! She’ll give you profound insights and help on how to find your true voice.
