Ohad Ashkenazi is a Singer, Actor and Educator from Boston, MA. He is the founder of Ohad Vocal Studio, where his students learn to demystify their voice and build a reliable, sustainable relationship with their instrument. His approach is student-centered; rooted in the science of motor learning, sports psychology and the anatomy and physiology of the voice. This, coupled with a special emphasis on artistry and storytelling, leads the student to discover their unique artistic fingerprint and bloom as a performer. His specialties include teaching ESL students to sing naturally and smoothly in English, Musical Theater, Improvisation and Embellishment (Riffs/Runs) and working with trans & non-binary performers (like any individual, the voice is not defined by, or limited to, any particular gender expression.)
