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

  • 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 freeing it feels. However, the more I share it with others—especially those who treat it like a party trick—the more boxed in it seems. Despite that, I’m fascinated by how the Enneagram can support my work in acting and storytelling.

  • Marvel movies, chocolate-covered mangoes, sleeping in, crispy French fries, and Maker’s Mark whiskey—just a few of my favorite things!
