Singing

Karl has loved singing for his entire life. He began performing in musicals shortly before middle school at a theatre company owned by his parents. Between there and school, he was granted many opportunities to take the stage. But as he began high school, he realized he still had lots of room to grow as a singer and performer. So he began his formal vocal training at Northwest School of the Arts as a musical theatre major. After graduating in 2018, he discovered a love for opera theatre as well while studying voice with Dr. Rebecca Cook-Carter. Most recently, Karl has studied both classical and commercial voice styles with Dr. Tiffany Jackson and performed in opera theatre works directed by Dr. Mary Bauer.

Karl continues to explore and expand his vocal range now, attempting to fit his voice into as many styles and genres as possible while practicing ideal vocal health so he can continue to sing for many years to come. Below are some video excerpts from his junior recital at Western Carolina University, accompanied by Michael Yannette on piano.
