“Professor Parks is easily the best voice teacher that I have ever had… I could not name anyone better.”
Professor Parks is easily the best voice teacher that I have ever had. I still remember the very first time I got to work with her at my callback weekend at USC and she was single-handedly the reason I decided to study musical theater at USC. I remember that I came in singing Easy As Life from Aida and she completely transformed how I sang the song. Initially I was pushing and there was a lot of tension and she completely freed that up and allowed my true voice to shine, and she does that now to this day. Every single time I have an audition she’s the first person I wanna call to help me out and she transforms the song and makes it truly my own. I could not name anyone better.
