About me:
Cynthia Kortman Westphal
I am a classically trained pianist and singer who moved to NYC, learned from the best Broadway rock-n-rollers, and went on to spend 30 years working on pop/rock shows on Broadway, in regional theatres, national tours, and academia.
After seeing countless auditions (both highly successful, and...a little less so), my passion is helping musical theatre singers find their pop/rock voice and empower them to tell their story with total confidence in more audition rooms.
