Singing with Bulent G.

Greetings! I'm Bülent, an award-winning artist and a trailblazing voice expert. The Times Herald-Record, New York, describes me as a firm bass-baritone, The Boston Musical Intelligencer as dramatically and musically outstanding, and The Appcompanist as an incredible singer and teacher. I am also a member of NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing). I have created The Vocathletic System for Voice, Singing & Speech, which is surprisingly simple, direct, and effective. It explains the whats, hows, and whys of vocal technique in a manner easily understood and immediately put into practice with unequivocal results. The system incorporates vocal and athletic principles, and applies precise execution skills to vocalization. For me, technique is never the ultimate goal, as it only serves expression. I have helped singers achieve in a single lesson things they have not been able to accomplish even after years of prior vocal training. A litany of superb and enthusiastic reviews speak for themselves. My students come from diverse paths such as classical, opera, musical theater, jazz, American Songbook, pop, R&B, gospel, country, rock, heavy metal, and public speaking. I specialize in helping students of all ages and backgrounds discover and express their natural voice in the most efficient way possible, which they can apply to any musical genre or vocal field. WHAT ONLINE STUDENTS SAY "I'm speechless! I can't believe the sounds that are coming out of my own face!" - Chanelle F., Virginia (pop, R&B) "Amazing! Simply amazing! I've taken lessons before, but none have ever stood out as much as this first one... Can't wait for the next one!" - Nestor C., Texas (R&B) "I wish I could give this review 100 stars!.. Bulent is the whole package! His knowledge, expertise and in-depth teaching style surpass that of any teacher I have ever worked with and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found him. In one lesson with Bulent I have already learned more than I had learned after almost 3 years with 4 other teachers!!!..." - Della L.,Texas (pop, R&B, jazz) "I’ve worked with Bulent for over ten years and have posted several in-depth and glowing reviews. However, here I want to talk about ONLINE lessons and what separates an excellent online voice teacher from a true master like Bulent. It’s simply this: even with the less-than-desirable audio and video of an online lesson, Bulent’s ability to hear how I am properly or improperly using my anatomy while I sing is positively uncanny. Even during an online lesson Bulent hears and sees the subtlest cues and indications and tells me precisely what I need to shift to have the desired result. If you ever doubted you could learn to sing online...don’t...check Bulent out...he’s a vocal Jedi." - Jack V., Massachusetts (jazz, blues) "Bulent worked with me - a total stranger - with great care, deep knowledge, and a gentle desire to see me improve. And this is all the FIRST LESSON... I give my highest recommendation." - Geoff L.,Tennessee (pop) "Bulent is unlike any other vocal coach, as his method is unique, and his knowledge is down to the science and it allows one to deeper understand what is happening while you are singing... After the introductory lesson I was able to significantly improve. Online vocal lessons with Bulent are unbelievable." - Rajveer S.,Texas (pop, rock) REACTIONS TO FIRST LESSONS "The reviews on Bulent's website are nothing short of unbelievable, which is to say, I literally did not believe them at first. But after my first lesson, it became clear to me where those reviews came from..." - Alan L. (jazz) "... just in one lesson I vocalized to high C with the knowledge he gave me. I actually, for the first time, knew how I did it. It was incredible. I was so happy that for the first time in years of voice training in upstate New York, 10 years in Manhattan, New York City, studying with teachers who sang at New York City Opera and the Metropolitan Opera, and not one of them was able to teach me what Bulent taught me in one lesson..." - Fausto Di I. (opera) "...I thought that 25 years would put me in a position of feeling like I knew something about vocalizing, but one lesson with Bulent has demonstrated to me how much about singing I still don't know." - Luciano R. (pop) "Bulent is an amazing and well seasoned teacher. From just two lessons I learned more about the mechanisms of singing than I had in 15 years or so of amateur singing... Thank you, Bulent!" - Kim R. (pop, R&B) "My first lesson with Bulent was truly eye-opening." - Quang H. (musical theater) "I’ve been singing all my life and I have never met such an amazing coach... I learned so much in one session and I cannot wait to learn more." - Yasmine K. (jazz, R&B) "Bulent is a true professional. He exemplifies what I was looking for in a teacher. Not only is he clearly a powerful vocalist in his own right, he is also gracious and considerate as a teacher." - De K. (voice/speech) "After just one lesson I noticed a huge difference in my voice. My voice sounded stronger, better supported and had depth and resonance that I had not been able to produce in years!!" - Rocco I. (opera)
