3RD EDITION THEVOICEEXPO.COM ANDRÉS MARTORELL URUGUAY/ IRELAND

Originally from Uruguay, residing in Ireland and Poland since 2003, Andrés has studied vocal technique all over the world with the most renowned singing teachers, several voice scientists and the largest institutes. As a teacher during the last 20 years, Andrés has trained over 1500 voices around the world, from "shower" singers to Grammy winners, several singers with a Multi Platinum album, number 1 artists on the Billboard charts (USA), actors, and many more.

Andrés has been certiﬁed (2004 to 2013) in Speech Level Singing as a Vocal Coach at the highest level (Level 5) and in IVA as a Mentor teacher, in addition to becoming the head of research and vocal science of that institute in its infancy. n addition, he attended numerous worldwide voice teachers conferences (SLS) and several vocal seminars, including seminars with Ingo Titze in Salt Lake City, Utah, NCVS.

His devotion to singing has led him not only to train hard to become a voice coach with a great reputation, but also to live the experience as a professional singer performing all over the world in many diﬀerent styles

3RD EDITION THEVOICEEXPO.COM MONIQUE THOMAS FRANCE/ USA Monique Thomas, vocal coach and professional singer was born in Philadelphia, Pa, in the United States and began singing at a very young age. She grew up listening to gospel, R&B and Motown artists, and knew, early on that singing would be her career.

In 1994, Monique entered the William Paterson University music department where she would simultaneously study jazz and opera. During her time at the university, Monique would regularly perform jazz and R&B at different clubs in and around New York City. In 1998, upon completion of her degree, Monique was asked to join the teaching staff of the CIAM, a music school in Bordeaux, France. After a few years, she went on to become the director of the entire vocal department and was part of the school’s pedagogical team. Monique also created and directed the CIAM gospel choir, which existed for 9 years. Throughout the course of her teaching in Bordeaux, she continued to study voice at the Bordeaux conservatory and participated in many masterclasses and vocal competitions, garnering first place prizes and honors along with her opera degree. In 2002, Monique created the gospel group, «Voices of Praise». Voices of Praise has recorded 2 albums and has a national and international performance schedule.

While she enjoys singing lead in her gospel group, jazz quartet and other groups, Monique has also done backup for artists such as Robyn Carlsson, Miss Dominique and Cunnie Williams.

In her continued quest for vocal excellence, Monique decided to study Speech Level Singing (SLS - a technique which more than 150 international stars such as Stevie Wonder, Michael and Janet Jackson, Natalie Cole and many more use) and upon certiﬁcation in 2008, became part of their team of teachers.

In 2009, Monique left the CIAM to create her own vocal school, «Vocal Arts Studio» and regularly gives masterclasses and teaches students all over France, in the Reunion Islands and the French Antilles. She continues to perform on stage and has begun composing for several recording artists.

3RD EDITION THEVOICEEXPO.COM LISE LIV SKOVGAARD DENMARK

Lise Liv has both a Bachelor and Master of Science in Psychology from the Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen and a Bachelor of Science in Education from the Department of Education. She is an authorised Complete Vocal Technique Coach and was one of the first teachers qualified to teach this approach. She has been teaching singers internationally for 17 years and is a teacher at Complete Vocal Institute in Copenhagen. Lise Liv also works as a therapist in a clinic with people suffering from stress, anxiety and depression. This combination of professions, therapist and vocal coach, is brought together in her innovative work providing Mental Training for Performers, through her company, Ownership Balance. She works with performers experiencing stressful situations, anxiety, worries, stagefright, mental blocks and of course people who have had traumatic experiences on stage, anything from forgetting the lyrics to fainting. In addition, Lise Liv works with finding the ideal development/learning path and needs for the individual performer.

Lise Liv has been singing since she was a child. Her own route into singing professionally, at the age of 17, came from a teacher asking if she could sing lead vocals on a big tour with a choir, after the lead singer took ill. Lise Liv was not the type of person who wanted to be centre stage and didn’t enjoy the attention. In spite of this, she has found herself singing in front of thousands of people and today, she gives lectures to large groups of people from all over the world. What drove her past her reticence of the limelight is her passion for, and focus on communicating and wanting to share music and knowledge with others. When our focus is on the music we love or the meaning of the words we are communicating, we can learn to let go of the focus on ourselves that is holding us back. If something is hindering a performer in achieving goals or technical skills it can be due to mental strategies, that prevent new things from happening, by the brain keeping old patterns as the dominant and active ones.

Lise Liv has specialized in working with all kinds of performers. She is working with Music Unions in diﬀerent countries to get performers to focus on mental health. A long career requires a healthy technique, body and mind. It requires choices and prioritising as a performer to stay in balance and mental training is a part of that balance and a part of making good choices, whatever they are to the individual. We are all individual and so are our choices.
