Annabelle Marie

Vocalist, composer, choir director, instrumentalist, and Inspirer-in-Chief to all who know her, Annabelle Marie studied with Judy Davis, the vocal coach of Barbara Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Eddie Money, Grace Slick, Mary Martin. She has also studied with various opera coaches to research all aspects of genres of vocal technique.

She is the founder and director of Voena, a lively and infectious reinvention of the children’s choir. VOENA has found itself a repeat guest of the White House, performing for Presidents Clinton and Bush in Washington D.C. as the guests of Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in Rome, as well as performing in Olympic Park on opening day of the 2012 London Olympics, and at a TEDx Conference in Napa Valley. As goodwill ambassadors, they have toured with their message celebrating global diversity to China, Mexico, Italy, Greece, and Japan. From the celebrated French Laundry to Carnegie Hall - VOENA weaves a tapestry over 100 voices strong of rich and inventive a cappella vocal arrangements that leave audiences moved, and messages of celebration and hope echoing across the halls.

Through years of teaching experience, Annabelle knows how to unlock the angelic resonance in each of her students. She has coached vocalists of all ages, from professional singers to "non-singers" looking to overcome a fear of singing, to public speakers looking to improve their speaking voices.
