Tribute to David Sorin-Collyer

My Dad, David Sorin-Collyer, touched a lot of people's lives. He was an extraordinary vocal teacher and coach, and he was a mentor to many. Starting out in Vaudeville, he then went on to do many Broadway Shows and Concerts. Dad was an entertainer through and through.

To me it was normal to expect that at any moment, no matter where we were, Dad would just burst into a song. As kids we were mortified, but that soon changed, and those moments became so loved and appreciated and now have become really wonderful memories.

I will always treasure the last few years of his life. We became especially close, not just as father and daughter, but as two artists exchanging ideas. This collaboration began when I apprenticed with him to learn to teach his vocal technique, of "Controlled Relaxation". We also had such a ball putting an act together and doing concerts. I learned so much from his freedom, sharing, and pure joy on stage and in life.

Dad loved us children more than anything in his life. He would be so proud to see how much the family has grown.

To all of us, myself, Greg, Gail, Aaron, Ryan, Nathan, Gary, Denise, Cooper Mey, Uncle Frank, Kate and to our mom, Nanci Sorin-Collyer...

His Spirit Lives On!!!
