About Me

Myspace Backgrounds
I am a Singer/Songwriter, Intuitive Tone Sound Healer, and Wellness Facilitator who used the techniques she teaches to heal herself through a life-threatening illness. My mission and purpose is to teach others how to help uplift and empower themselves using the power of their own voice, music, breath and healing movements to help promote balance, healing and a greater sense of peace and joy in their lives. " - Kirsten Korot


My music is an extension of my work and it is where I began and this year is a return to those roots as I am back out and performing along with my healing work and looking for new collaborations to start to working on a new music CD.
The music here is from my Songs of Sanctuary inspirational music CD and "Elements" a sound healing CD I recorded intuitively and unrehearsed with a friend and fellow sound healer Gail Chasin.
Special classes for Actors, Singers, Musicians, Speakers or Performers: HEALING BREATH, SOUND AND MOVEMENT WORKSHOPS FOR ACTORS, SPEAKERS AND PERFORMERS, TO HELP REDUCE STRESS, ANXIETY, PAIN, RELEASE OLD BAGGAGE, AND CONNECT TO THEIR OWN EMOTIONS AND INTUITION AS A SPEAKER OR PERFORMER.

Lisa Regina – Actress, Writer and Producer
"As an actor being completely open is essential to the emotional art form. On April 2nd, 2005 I was left traumatized after a violent assault.
My emotional instrument was no longer fine tuned and in need of repair.
Kirsten Korot led me on a path of healing through toning. Kirsten spent the first day with me guiding me through meditation. This was the first day that I was able to feel again after dealing with months of emotional and physical pain. Kirsten introduced the wonderful sound and vibration of Tibetan bowls to my healing process.
I know as an artist Kirsten has led me back to the emotional, physical and spiritual strength I feared was lost forever. Kirsten’s methods of healing through toning support the actor’s ongoing challenge to stay alive and connected everyday."
Lisa is the founder and director of A Write to Heal, Inc. - a non-profit organization whose mission is to use the tools of writing and performance as an alternate way towards healing. Lisa Regina, wrote, directed and produced the first stage performance of A Write to Heal at CenterStage NY. The performance was received with overwhelming response. In 2007, Lisa will be staging performances in NY, NJ, CT and CA

Influences:

Wow so many influences. As a child I listened to Gershwin, Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Broadway, Blues, you name it I soaked it in.

I love the writing and vocals of Kenny Loggins and his experimentation over the years with new sounds and lots of rich harmonies (practicing to his records helped me hone my harmonies as a teen).

Sarah Vaughn, Aretha and Ella Fitzgerald taught me how to really use the emotion of the voice to reach people on a deep level. Blues also taught me how to get the most emotion out of every lyric and to sing from the core and the gut.

Artists like Peter Gabriel, REM, Annie Lennox and others taught me the power that a great performance can have on an audience to make them think and also try to be a force for change and growth

I'm still learning as a writer and study the new music to try to understand what people are drawn to but the most important thing I think is that you have to stay real with yourself and sing what moves your own soul and write about the things that mean the most to you.

Audiences know when you are being false

Sounds Like: The joke when I was singing in clubs at 18 and they would hear my tape before they booked me was that I sounded like a 40 year old blues singer
So for me I've always sounded like an old soul I guess. People often don't match the voice to the face but that is always the fun part of the surprise for me still to this day

Over the years I've been compared to Janis Joplin (when I sing rock), Barbara Streisand, Annie Lennox, Stevie Nicks - depends on the song but mostly they just say I have my own sound so it is hard to compare.

You have to judge for yourself. I just try to take all my influences and be my own voice
