🎭✨ Exciting News! Join us for the Acting for Singers masterclass on Saturday, October 21st from 9-12. 🗓️ Bring a 32-bar audition cut as New Orleans very own actor and musician, Maria Hefte @mvhefte, guides and coaches you to shine on stage! 🌟 Dont miss this incredible opportunity to hone your craft and make your auditions stand out. Check out Marias impressive bio below and secure your spot today! 🎶🎤 

María Victoria Hefte is a familiar fixture in the local arts scene on either side of the Pontchartrain. One of the founding members of the pandemic-era ensemble entertainment group Opera Festa Singers, Hefte has sung German, Italian, French, and Russian repertoire at venues such as the Southern Hotel, Third Sunday Concert Series, and the Deutsches Haus as well as The Gallery - a far cry from their humble beginnings singing off a balcony on Frenchman Street. Hefte enjoys workshopping new musicals like “How To Kill A Diva,” with Jefferson Performing Arts Society and “Perfectly Imperfect,” with the Marigny Opera House, as well as cultivating bright, up-and-coming artists through acting programs like Covington Louisiana Actors’ Playhouse System. After representing Louisiana State on the national level for both the Poetry Out Loud and National Shakespeare competitions during her respective school years, Hefte is now an annual judge and acting coach for her alma mater’s current contestants.

Hello everyone! 🌟 Im thrilled to introduce a new member of the Lauren’s Voice Studio team: Garri Paul @garri_annamarie. Having been my former student, its a pleasure to now work together as colleagues, sharing our passion. To discover more about Ms. Garri or to inquire about voice lessons, please send a DM or visit www.laurenvoicestudio.com. Below, youll find a glimpse of her musical journey 🎹.

At just 5 years old, Garri embarked on a musical adventure under both her grandmothers wings, laying the foundation for her remarkable career. 🌈 The love for music blossomed, and she soon explored jazz clarinet and musical theater, guided by amazing mentors. 🎶
Garris educational journey was as vibrant as her tunes!

 She graduated from NOCCA while at Ursuline Academy in 2015. Her thirst for knowledge led her to Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where she earned bachelors and masters degrees in Vocal Performance and Vocal Pedagogy. 🎓

Beyond her musical prowess, Garri is a champion for diversity and inclusion. She founded the Black Student Alliance, leaving an indelible mark in advocating for a harmonious world. 🌍 

But thats not all! Garris entrepreneurial spirit shines through Paul’s Beverages @pauls_beverages offering you a taste of delightful freshly squeezed lemonades, brewed teas, and cold brew coffees. Sip and savor the symphony of flavors! ☕🍋

And when the notes take a break, Garri finds joy in the company of her adorable English Bulldog, Benni. 🐾

Garri is thrilled to share her passion for music, education, advocacy, and entrepreneurship with the students of Lauren’s Voice Studio. 🌟 Stay tuned for more as she continues to make waves in the world of arts and education. Follow @pauls_beverages to experience the melody in every sip!

Bon Operatit! had the pleasure of singing at St. Anthony’s Gardens this week.

Sometimes, it's not about the venue—it's about the people and the happiness we can bring into their lives. 🥰 Today was a reminder that a little melody and a whole lot of heart can brighten someone's day.

We even had one of the residents join us at the piano for a singalong . And Joe was conveniently dressed to fulfill his other role if needed.

Let's keep spreading the joy, one note at a time! 🎶💫

Lauren, I had tickets to enjoy the performance tonight but I have to go out of town this morning for a family funeral. Hope to see Bon Operatit soon at another performance.

Will there be any more concerts in November or December?

It was soooooooo much fun! So good to see so many loyal fans, which made it even better.
