Sing Fearlessly
Unleash your voice. Soar within. Sing!
Fearlessly Freefall into
Pure Singing Bliss
Imagine
Singing with no self-doubt, no fear of disapproval, no limited beliefs, no more "never again " moments. Just feeling the natural high of your birthright to sing.
My 'INSPIRE-EXCITE-IGNITE' method is a powerful blend of expert vocal training, fear-busting techniques, secrets of the stars and a dash of humor. My teaching style blends heart, innovation, and a whole lot of fun, empowering each person to express themselves freely and confidently.
Storyteller
"I am by no means a traditional voice teacher. I care more, go emotionally deeper to pull out your story in you, to give you everything you need to know to be a passionate, creative storyteller through song."
Maria Monroe
I have created "Sing Fearlessly at Sea"to cater to the cruising lifestyle. Together with my unique approach of curing fear of singing, blended with the ambience and philosophy of Explora Journeys it's guaranteed to make it a signature part of guest enrichment.
Guests love to watch and listen to entertainers sing in bars or onstage. Most secretly wish they could sing but fear it. When it comes to singing solo, only the very brave or very tipsy step up to a mic.
Sing Fearlessly bridges this gap in a very entertaining and enriching way, where they learn to sing with no fear.
Its the thrill of a rollercoaster for the soul when students begin to achieve things they once thought were impossible.
I have created a course customized to teaching onboard for guest enrichment which is bothin a class, with fun extra-cirricular moments

"You are a lovely soul. I have been wanting to take voice lessons for decades and haven't manifested the right teacher, until I met you. It is divine intervention. I'm excited to start this journey together. We are going to have some great storytelling through our music."
Lynn Morey
2004- Being around Maria, somehow, singing just happens.
"People have always said I have
that 'certain something'.
My mother always said, "Don't worry, it's
probably just a urinary infection"

At Long Last, Voiceover, My Love!
Over the years, I’ve chased my dreams with more heart than sense — and somehow, belief and persistence, turned those dreams into a life I love. I’ve been a songwriter, owned and performed with a band company for 15 years, and spent 25 years teaching and directing singers.
And now… Voiceover.
At long last — love, I have found you!
Turns out, being a bit of a chameleon has finally paid off. This career fits me like a favorite pair of headphones — perfectly. I’m ready to dive in, thrive, and lend my voice (and my heart) to projects for years to come. With deep gratitude and plenty of enthusiasm, I’m seeking representation to keep doing what I love most: bringing words to life, making clients happy, and joyfully riding this creative wave wherever it takes me.
2004- Even teaching computer class onboard, somehow, singing just happens.
