Florida VOICE Project

May 28-31, 2025 in beautiful and historic Tarpon Springs, FL

The Florida VOICE Project is a small intensive that offers singers quality time to focus on what matters most to them. 

Our faculty and staff care about the WHOLE singer. We take singers at any level of their journey and move them on to the next place in their development through honest evaluation and strategic planning.

This 3 day intensive allows singers to focus on what matters most in this moment. Artists with specific goals in mind will get the most out of this short and meaningful experience.

Are you:

  • in the midst of role preparation and need a check-in?
  • working on your audition package?
  • in need of a vocal “tune-up”?
  • preparing for a competition?

If you said “yes” to any of these, then this is the program for you.

The Florida VOICE Project includes daily lessons and coachings for each singer, and culminates in a showcase of your progress for an appreciative audience. The program also includes master class opportunities with Maestro Sherrill Milnes and other esteemed faculty. Singers will walk away with a personalized strategic plan, with clear next steps for their individual needs.

Our Pledge to Artists

The Milnes VOICE Programs recognize and respect the individuality of all artists. The staff and faculty of VOICE pledge to recognize and call out personal and systemic biases. In our mission to grow the artistic community, judgments will be based solely on a person’s musical potential, ability, and desire to learn and grow in the art. VOICE will do this through the creation of welcoming and inclusive environments and anti-discriminatory practices throughout our programs.
