About the Presenter:

Deena Noroian has 25+ years of professional singing and performing experience. She spent much of her music career in Los Angeles, CA, working in bands, record labels, television, radio, film, and more. After moving to Bend, OR, in 2010, she started private vocal studio Sing Bend, teaching voice and performance to all ages and levels of singers. Public (ROCK) Choir was born from a desire to give her students a place to sing, but it quickly attracted singers and non-singers alike from all around Central Oregon. Deena is now passionately dedicated to helping people find their voices by offering them a safe, no pressure, encouraging place to blend in but still get loud and maybe even a little bit crazy. "If you can talk, you can sing!" She is the author of the recently published Loud: The Voice that Cures Everything.
