In this episode, I have a conversation with Matt Farnsworth about how he incorporates bodywork into his session in the voice studio. Matt is an accomplished voice teacher, actor, and pianist living and working in NYC. He started teaching voice in 1995 as the consulting coach on Broadway’s Rent. Matt has taught hundreds of Broadway actors (Tony winners), film stars (Oscar winners) and recording artists (Grammy Award winners) including Sara Bareilles and Carly Rae Jepsen and American Idol finalists Constantine Maroulis and Pia Toscano. Matt performed on Broadway and regionally in The Who's Tommy, Cats, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Sunset Boulevard and Curtains. Matt believes every great teacher should continue their own studies and he continues studying with his mentor Bill Schuman and others.

Coaching Experience

I began my coaching career in 2006. I started working with high school aged soccer players and haven’t stopped since! I played soccer for Cal Poly’s Div 1 Women’s Soccer Team where I really developed passion for the weight room. I coached Girl’s Soccer at SLO High School for 6 years, in addition to coaching club soccer, and found that I loved helping girls realize their potential on and off the field. I made a career move that ultimately led me to Gymnazo in 2014 and the rest is history!

Coaching Experience

I grew up playing a variety of sports including volleyball, baseball, football and wrestling. As I progressed in my high school career, I developed a strong passion for mentoring and coaching youth athletes. I coached for a local youth wrestling club and youth football program for a few years in Sacramento. When I moved to San Luis Obispo, I coached wrestling at a local high school and headed a local youth wrestling program. I also work with individual athletes to help them reach their full potential through mental and self-discipline. I believe it takes hard work and strong mental toughness to achieve any goal.Check out education with Gymnazo at www.gymnazoedu.com
