Ron Shetler delivers a youthful passion, knowledge base, and professional history that is hard to match in a vocal coach. Combined, these three assets have not only driven the evolution of his proprietary and powerful vocal technique, they have empowered him with the ability to draw compelling performances from his students as well as help them further their careers with an approach called Momentum Vocal Coaching.

“I’ve spent my life in the theater. I was born into a singing family of Mennonites and, as a result, singing, from my earliest memory, was always a part of my life. Through the years, my love for theater has blossomed into a passion that consumes me. Whether it’s through performing, directing, recording, producing or teaching, I am always exercising my passion. But my greatest love is to teach—to nurture and develop the wonderful talents I have come across in my many years at Shetler Studios and The Neighborhood Playhouse. It is the reason why I started TDG, a non-profit company dedicated to actors, as well as my Momentum Vocal Coaching practice.I invite you to join me in my pursuits. Because, to me, singing is everything.” -- Ron Shetler |
