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.
