About Me

Vanderpost Voice Studio
Specializing in vocal training, breath control, stage deportment, posture, building confidence, extending vocal range, projection and public speaking. It is important for students to learn to use their natural voices in a relaxed manner while working toward their full potential. Students are taught to unveil the natural voice or bel canto. Working with the natural voice, students can improve vocal range, tone, clarity, volume and confidence.Lessons will include proper voice control, projection, vocal technique, breath control, the public speaking voice and correct posture.All levels of students are accepted including: those who believe they cannot sing, those who wish to begin a wonderful and relaxing hobby, those who desire the self-satisfaction of learning to use the voice correctly as well as professional singers who need special coaching.Because proper vocal technique is universal, lessons will provide a foundation for singing that will enable the student to sing or perform any type of music he/she wishes. Fritz Wunderlich in Magic Flute by W A MozartBorn in a Japanese concentration camp where I spent the first three and a half years of my life followed by almost a half year of post war time. In 1946 my mother and I were able to escape to the Netherlands where I was placed in several foster homes for almost 6 years and abused by men and women mentally as well physically. Leaving a deep scar in my memories, soul and heart and I now realize at my age that these happenings never leave the mind and ones life. I wish there was a way I can give lectures about it in the hope that parents realize what terrible damage can be done. Abuse must stop and or prevented because children must have the right to be children for as long as possible, adulthood already comes way to fast. A book about my mothers and my life I have written and I would love to have it printed and if possible sell it on a lecture cirquit. If there is any one out there reading my short confession and perhaps able to help please get in touch with me. There is so much more to tell but then it would be my book in here and that is to much. My mother was tortured in front of me and other athrocities I remember unfortunately very vividly.Thanks for reading my blogJames

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anna Netrebko, Rene Fleming, Placido Domingo, Montserat Caballe, Jose Carreras, Katia Ricciarelli, Anne Schwanewilms. Yma sumac, Gina Lollobrigida, Ricky Martin yes him too and Pam Tillis, Dolly Parton, Tricia Yearwood.My alltime favorite female Opera singers are; Maria Callas (deceased) and Magda Olivero,males; Mario Del Monaco , Franco Corelli, Tito Gobbi and Ettore Bastianini, all these male singers are deceased!!!I believe though that every singer who is famous, is great in their own way. To really favor one over the other is not totally fair or just. One has a tendency to stick to one performer and remain blind and deaf for the new ones. There are so many performers who give me happiness and joy with their talent. An open mind is still the very best to accept all talent. Of mice and men was the East coast premier of that Opera. I was very proud to have been in that great performance, still under my first name of Albert ( I don't like my first name and took the middle one.I am single and also would not mind meeting a nice person to spent time with and perhaps to make some memories with. That is beginning to look impossible to me now, for time is flying by and running out. someone better catch me before I have to go you know where!!!If you like to look at my videos, click on videos and then go to favorites and there you will find quite a few of them!!!
