Bainbridge Island Voice Teachers

"Madam Camille is passionate about bringing the true Bel Canto Technique to new generations."

- Madam Camille, Bel Canto Voice Teacher

Camille Fredericksen

Madam Camille has been a lifelong Bel Canto singer, and has been teaching singing for 20 years. 

Camille is a second generation student of Enrico Rosati, a world renowned Bel Canto teacher. She studied many years under the tutelage of Josephine Convy, an east coast opera singer who studied directly under Rosati. Camille has performed opera, classical, contemporary, and jazz in Boston, San Francisco and the Seattle areas. Camille founded and directed several performing choirs including Bel Canto Voices and Voices in Motion. She produced and published her own album, “Hope is the Thing With Feathers” original songs composed of Emily Dickinson poems. Camille also co-founded the acoustic project and YouTube Channel, Voices of the Void. She also co-founded Camille Classics partnering with concert pianist Elissa Hust. 

The Bel Canto singing technique has been around for several hundred years and was perfected by the end of the 19th century.  Bel Canto unlocks the full potential of the human voice and can be applied to any genre of singing to enhance and give freedom to the singer. Camille believes all singers should have a base of classical training no matter the choice of genre a student may pursue to give the singer agility, range, power, and control in the voice.

Camille teaches all ages from 7 years of age to older adults. Camille loves teaching all ages and specializes in fixing problems of all levels of singing skill including helping the young male voice navigate the teenage change. Many of Camille’s students have received college singing scholarships and won lead singing roles in musical theater and opera.

Bobby Ray

Classical Training with Rock and Roll Repertoire

- Bobby Ray

Bobby Ray

Bio: Bobby is a relentlessly enthusiastic and positive teacher with two decades of experience teaching everything from Led Zeppelin guitar solos to arias from Mozart Operas. Starting out on the guitar, he followed in the shredding footsteps of Jimi Hendrix and the other guitar legends of his hometown of Seattle. He fell in love with Opera while studying vocal performance at the University of Portland (‘09) and had the great pleasure of singing with the Portland Opera Chorus, as well as the Choral Arts Ensemble of Portland, Opera Theater Oregon, and Classical Revolution PDX. He combined his two passions when he formed the Electric Opera Company, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that reinvisioned classical favorites by playing them on an orchestra of Electric Guitars and Synthesizers. Bobby started teaching full time at the School of Rock in Portland where he worked with hundreds of students and directed many staged performances before forming his own independent teaching studio. In 2014 Bobby was tapped to be Vocal Coach to Oscar winning actor William Hurt as he prepared to play Greg Allman in a biopic. Bobby’s students have gone on to attend Berklee College of Music and Musician’s Institute in LA among other universities. He remains a gigging musician, but gets the most joy from sharing his love of music with his students.

Bobby teaches from an extensive background in classical training, but takes pride in meeting his students where they are, focusing on singing and playing songs that they want to sing. Whether it’s a classical standard or a top 40 hit, there’s always an opportunity for growth to be found and a deeper level of musicianship to be discovered. It’s important to him that his students are engaged and fascinated by the music they’re singing or playing. From that starting point, the pathway to achievement is easy to walk!
