Voice Studio of Angela Burns-Crowley

Spring is off to a wonderful start in the studio! Students sang their hearts out in GNAG’s production of Something Rotten, making us all giggle our heads off.

Bravery and success came through in Senior Voice and Musical Theatre at Kiwanis, ending with a couple of Trophies in Musical Theatre and lots of happy singers!

And of course lots of shenanigans were had with the Ottawa Acting Studio in the Glebe- the best way to end any work week.

Through it all, we are building community, creativity, confidence, and connection as we aim for the compassion and calm of singing from our true selves.

Now onto more Kiwanis, shows, and a boatload of JOY!

Happy World Voice Day!!!

We are in the middle of Musical Theatre at the Kiwanis Music Festival, so here is a video of three of our singers and their lovely trio from Wind in the Willows.

I share this because I was so amazed by these young singers and how they brought so much joy and creative curiosity to exploring such a unique and challenging piece.

Singing is a place where we aim to find self expression, joy, artistry, and a deep sense of community as we explore the nooks and crannies of our creative spirit.

May we all find a space that helps us feel safe and supported on this beautiful vocal journey as we explore our whole selves through the beautiful gift of song.

This is my wish for World Voice Day 2026.

One Swallow Does Not a Summer Make, Kiwanis 2026 Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Are you curious about auditioning for musical theatre? Come join me Friday Afternoons starting March 27th At the Ottawa Acting Studio!

Class this term will focus on how to pick audition repertoire, the vocal and performance preparation of the pieces, as well as practicing the process of an audition.

As always, we will also have some fun with a group number or two to keep those musical theatre chops fresh and send you into Friday evening with a zing in your step!

Kanata Acting Studio You will find all of our acting classes using the menu on the left side below.  Classes at our KANATA STUDIO and our downtown GLEBE STUDIO are clearly marked. 

Join us this month as we try a daily forward bend challenge!

Thought up by one of my 13 year old students, this is a chance to boost your personal practice habits and give yourself some love with the return of the warmer weather and sunshine.

Unsure of what Uttanasana modification is right for you? Here’s a link to some ideas.

I mostly teach a bent legged forward bend, with or without chair/block support, but there are many ways to explore this posture!

Have fun and happy almost spring!

A wonderful way to spend a chilly February weekend! NATS-NCR festival was another hit this year with 9 singers from the studio entering 12 categories.

So many firsts this year, from some being new to festival participation to others trying out doing multiple styles in one day. Congratulations to everyone and thank you to my wonderful colleagues for a great festival!

Another warm and cozy winter studio recital is a wrap!

Great signing and enthusiastic support rippled through the adorable St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church yesterday. Thank you to the amazing Joanne Moorcroft for her piano skills, as always :)

This year we collected donations for the Richmond Food Bank! We filled a big box with food and raised $150!!!! :)
