About CJ Lorentz

Hi, I’m CJ Lorentz!

I’ve been teaching voice for over 10 years, on a rigorous and deeply rewarding journey of developing my craft. I grew up taking weekly lessons while also doing other activities related to my voice, and I know how hard it can be to fit everything in—or make it all work within a budget.

Over time, I learned how important it is for singers to develop a strong sense of vocal awareness and a clear vocal language, especially when you’re practicing or performing without a coach.

That’s why I shifted my teaching style from ongoing lessons to prescribed, goal-focused lessons. This approach helps us see exactly what your voice is doing now, figure out realistically how long it will take to reach your goals, and encourages you to navigate the “wild” on your own after integrating these assessment tools for yourself.

From there, we create a clear, focused plan to build a strong vocal foundation for the long term—with a system you can understand, track, and use on your own, even when you’re not in a lesson.

  • My dream life is to live on 10–15 acres of land where I can grow my own food and crops. Ideally, I’d also build a music production studio on-site. I envision creating a space where I can host bands, record music, and offer them a peaceful retreat experience. Along with hosting events and shows, I’d love to serve delicious meals made from the food I grow.

    I love teaching voice because I use my voice, and I don’t want that to change. By following my passion to become a producer, artist developer, and director, I hope to offer students the opportunity to learn in a rich artistic environment—one where they can see music being created, performed, and lived every day.

    While I’d still enjoy working in theatre, I also want the freedom to travel, tour, and perform my own music, sharing it with the world.

    At the heart of it all, I simply want to make music that moves people. If a song can make someone feel a little more alive, a little more understood, or just groove along for a few minutes, then I feel like the work is doing what it’s meant to do. Even if it only reaches a handful of people, that kind of connection is more than enough.

  • I’m deeply grateful for the people in my life, the opportunities I’ve been entrusted with, and the foundation laid by those who came before me and alongside me—even as I strive to chart my own path. Oh! And books!

  • I’m a Pisces Sun, Gemini Moon, and Scorpio Rising. I’m a lover of the Enneagram, a system that, the more I understand it, the more I understand myself and others.

  • Dawson’s Creek, spring rolls, Topo Chico, and/or being with the hoodlum homies.
