Kristin Roney is a professional mezzo-soprano, voice teacher, and certified yoga teacher based in New Jersey. She is fiercely committed to the healing, transformative, and communicative power of the voice. She strives to collaborate with colleagues who share in the vision of transforming their community by fostering compassion and authentic communication, through the voice.
Kristin has focused her career research on the use of yoga and meditation, in working with performance anxiety. She views yoga and singing as tools for understanding and working with habitual physical and mental patterns, allowing students to fully embody and own their authentic sound. As YogaVoice® Founding Partner, she uses YogaVoice® technology to connect people with their authentic voice so that they can communicate truthfully and confidently. Kristin believes that every person has the right to have their authentic voice experienced, expressed, and heard. Her students have won competitions, attended prestigious summer programs, performed on Broadway, and been admitted to top music institutions in the United States.
She is a member of NATS and has performed throughout the United States and Europe as both a soloist and ensemble member. Kristin’s performance highlights include the original cast recording of Alan Menken’s Hunchback of Notre Dame, original recording of Totus Tuus by Michael Trotta, chorister with New York Philharmonic in their production of Honegger’s Joan of Arc at the Stake, world premiere of Ola Gjeilo’s Dream at Carnegie Hall, singing at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome, Mrs. Segstrom (A Little Night of Music) with Light Opera of New Jersey, Idamante (Idomeneo) with Cantanti Project, soloist with the Phoenix Symphony, Zulma (L’italiana in Algeri) with Utopia Opera, Duruflé Requiem alto soloist with Immaculate Conception Concert Series, and guest recital artist for Immaculate Conception Winter Recital Series. Other roles include Dryad (Ariadne auf Naxos) with Manhattan Opera Studio, and Bradamante (Alcina) for New York Lyric Opera, and Florence (Albert Herring) and Cherubino (Le Nozze di Figaro) with Lyric Opera Theatre of Arizona State University. Additionally, she covered the roles of “Stephano”, “Suzuki”, “Kate Pinkerton”, and “Orfeo” through the joint Arizona Opera/Arizona State University Study Cover program.
Her performance career deeply informs her work. She completed her Yoga Teacher Training in 2018 and is committed to yoga's value as a technology that connects people to their deepest truths. Kristin earned degrees from Arizona State University (M.M. Opera Performance) and Willamette University (B.M. Voice Performance). She currently runs a successful private studio online and part owner of YogaVoice® (Founding Partner). When not singing or teaching, Kristin loves being home in New Jersey with her husband, son, and dog, Finnigan.
In addition to performing and teaching, Ms. Roney is a Reiki III practitioner.
