Sarasota Voice Academy

Sarasota Voice Academy International Opera singer and Professor Carol Sparrow can improve your
singing and speaking voice. They also offer vocal coaching in 6 languages.

Mezzo soprano Carol Sparrow and husband tenor Randolph Locke can help you improve your level of performance and confidence in singing:
Musical Theater - Popular Music - Opera - Choral - Jazz or while speaking as in Public Speaking or in Voice Overs. The duo have sung leading roles with major opera houses and orchestras throughout the world for over 25 years, working with legendary conductors, stag

e directors, coaches, and singers while at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, New York City Opera, Komishe Oper Berlin, Staadttheater Stuttgart, and more. Since achieving their Master of Music degrees from CCM, they have traveled to and presented some 250 recitals in over 50 countries. And since 1989, they have taught voice privately in Sarasota, as well as at USF (Tampa), SCF, and FGCU where they have co-directed Music Theater and Opera Workshop. Private lessons are available for all ages and levels:
minimum ½ hour: $30 (adults); $25 (under 21)

Through "giving back" and sharing their knowledge and experience with upcoming generations, they have discovered that their new passion is teaching and helping students achieve greater success. They emphasize correct low breathing, freedom of airflow, resonant focus, diction, and many other important factors for healthy vocal production, longevity, and beautiful sound. Please contact Ms. Sparrow and Mr. Locke directly by phone or email. It would be our great pleasure to work with you!

Although Sarasota Voice Academy is open for business, our hearts go out to so many others who have lost their homes, businesses, and family members. Prayers for Sarasota to return to its glory, as well as the rest of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Why not take singing lessons — any kind of music? Send us a message! 🎶

SOME OF THE MANY REASONS
The benefits of singing:

1. Singing gives the body vibrations that increase our vitality

2. While singing, the human brain produces special chemicals that help us feel calm and happy

3. Singing improves blood circulation, which has a beneficial effect on the vocal chords, tonsils and many lymph nodes, which means it significantly increases local immunity (in other words, colds are rare)

4. Improving blood circulation during singing activates brain work: it starts to work more intensively, memory improves, all information is easier to absorb

5. Improving the blood circulation of the whole head rejuvenates the body, improves the condition of the skin

6. Singing is very useful in lung diseases, because it not only replaces breathing exercises, but it also promotes chest development, good breathing, which significantly reduces the number of sprains

7. Regular singing with others increases the levels of immunoglobulin A and hydrocortisone in the body, which is a sign of good immunity. This is why experts recommend singing for at least 5 minutes a day, which is equivalent to exercise

Take care of your health! And a melodious one 🎶
