Holly Clausius

Holly Clausius is a queer Toronto artist blazing a trail of her own. Her soulful songwriting emulates the ballads of Feist, the honesty of Amy Winehouse and raw onstage talent of Alanis Morissette. Blending the genres of pop, rock, soul and folk – there is a flavour for everyone in Clausius’ music. Holly has performed on stages all around North America including The Legendary El Mocambo, Hotel Cafe, Horseshoe Tavern and The Viper Room in Los Angeles. Clausius released her debut EP ‘Sunflower’ in 2020, LP ‘Rose Garden’ in 2021 and just released a new project, ‘forget-you-not’ focusing on different sounds like pianos/synths, live drums and horns. Some of the biggest inspirations behind these songs include Vulfpeck, Maggie Rogers, Taylor Swift and Julia Jacklin. Holly graduated for acting in 2017 from Toronto Film School and has over 15 years of songwriting, performance and vocal experience, 8 years of guitar, ukulele and piano. She has performed in LA, New York, London, and continues to take over the Toronto music scene.

Tylor van Riper

Now working almost exclusively as an actor, writer, and producer in the Film &
Television industry, Camp on Fire Productions Co-Founder Tylor van Riper began his arts
career as a vocalist at a young age in the Southern Alberta prairies. After having won
awards for classical voice (AB Provincial Music Festival, Concerto Competition, Dr. Dasha
Goody Memorial Foundation Scholarship), he chose the Musical Theatre career path, for
which he now holds a Master’s Degree from Guildford School of Acting, at the University of Surrey, UK.

Tylor’s career has taken him from the prairies, across the pond to England, and
to Toronto, which he now calls home. In the 15 years Tylor has devoted to his artistic career,
he has performed lead and supporting roles in musicals such as: A Little Night Music, Spring
Awakening, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, & Next to Normal. He has written and
performed numerous cabarets, plays, and musicals, and has recently been developing a
Non-Binary musical with Juno Winner & Grammy Nominee Pablosky Rosales, from the
Cuban band Cubanismo. As a writer and producer for Film & Television, his most recent
endeavour is a TV Pilot for the comedy series he co-created, “The Bounce,” which featured
key creatives from Schitt’s Creek, Kim’s Convenience, and Kids in the Hall.

Alongside his artistic career, Tylor has invested countless hours into his career as a
vocal coach, and now works with singers of all skill levels in Pop, Jazz, and Musical Theatre.
with techniques from Estill to Alexander, as well as some which are unique to singers on the
other side of the Atlantic. He is one of the few vocal coaches in North America to incorporate
techniques found in the Laryngeal Conditioning System, which aims at freeing the voice
through balancing acoustics & power, dealing with issues in registration, and allowing
singers to produce a healthy mixed belt. Tylor has sat in on studio sessions with his
students, helped to craft & write original material, and helped to produce demos from his
studio.

Testimonials

Alex Nicol
Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!

Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!

I absolutely LOVE Tylor. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Tylor really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.

Laurena Mayifuila Mayowele
Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection. Also, now I am enjoying the journey more. I will definitely recommend Express voice studio. I have been in singing class for 3 years and piano class for 16 months going through the same blocage over and over. And I can say that the approach is more global and it works!

I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.
