Karmyn Tyler's Bio:

Hello!! I'm Karmyn and here's a little info about me! FYI - I wear a lota hats! :) I am a blogger, singer/songwriter, voice-over artist, actress, vocal teacher, podcaster, photographer, and digital artist. I am known for being a former Miss Louisiana and Talent winner at Miss America as well as a teen competitor on the Ed McMahon's Star Search. With my acting I have appeared as principle talent in numerous national commercials including Applebees, EyeMasters, Lincoln/Mercury and Half-Price Books. I co-starred with country artist Mark Colley in the film Alabama Love Story and as the character Harriet Korda in Lifetime Movie Network’s Inspector Mom with Danica McKellar. Some of my other television credits include an Assistant DA on Boston Legal and intern in Grey’s Anatomy. In musical theatre & opera credits I played the roles of P.

Our unique arrangement of Gershwin’s Summertime from this album was nominated for a Grammy award in 2005 and my original song Drifting was nominated in 2006. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, Actors’ Equity, AFTRA, NARAS (Grammys), BMI, and the National Association of Teachers of Singing.

Karmyn Tyler's Experience:

Songwriter/Producer at NYMRAK Studios & Publishing
1999 - Present
A poem that I wrote when I was 12 years old called "Almost 13" got published in Teen Magazine. Already being a singer, I began writing more prose and poetry that eventually turned into songs. I learned to record on a cassette tape and my love for recording began. In 2006, I accidentally uploaded a cover tune from my debut album to the Podsafe Music Network (now Music Alley). It (my version of Gershwin's Summertime) got picked up by Adam Curry's Daily Source Code Podcast. He encouraged me to put my original material up so, I got busy and wrote and produced 2 songs with my then music partner C. Meeks: Drifting and I'll Be There (On Christmas Day). That same year I recorded additional vocals for the Podsafe Music Christmas album. While in Burbank, I wrote, produced and sang two additional songs: Forbidden Love and Love Me So. Here is a list of my specific experience. -Grammy Nominated Vocalist with arranger C. Meeks. -Talent for numerous voice-overs, industrial films, radio, and vocals including: M Show Productions, American Airlines, DefensiveDriver.com, Micheal E. Minden Jewelers in Las Vegas and Real to Reel in Dallas, TX -Song Writing, Arranging & Publishing, Song Research -Music Editing, -Sound Recording for Irish Eyes Productions film -Editing Software: Cubase LX, Cakewalk Home Studio, Audacity, Garageband, Sony Sound Forge -Video Editing Software: Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas, DPS Velocity, iMovie -Podcast Producing as well as Host of The Karmyn Kast (www.karmynkast.net)
Owner/Teacher/Mentor at Karmyn Tyler's Vocal Studio
1998 - Present
In 1998, I began teaching and coaching vocalists. I have taught privately as well as for First United Methodist Music School in Texarkana, Arkansas. My current studio is located in Washington Heights in New York City. I have the honor of working with some amazing students in my studio including, American Idol finalist Rachel Hale, Singer/Song writer Sara Skinner, Actress Molly Quinn, Actor John R Colley, Ark-La-Tex's country star, Klancy Johnson, singer/actress Tara Clem and many, many more. I am dedicated to helping people explore their vocal talents and skills in the entertainment field. My focus centers on treating your entire body - not only your voice - as a tool for performance. This not only includes lessons for voice (speaking & singing) but career and life coaching. In performance often your body will want to work against itself. You muscles become tense, you over think, and worry. My motivation is to help you move to a place where you can over come your insecurities and fears by giving you an understanding of vocal production and its connection to your body and mind. My desire is to lead you to being your best. Here are some examples of how I can help: increasing vocal range, proper breathing techniques, body alignment, supported sound, conquer performance anxiety, stage presence, song interpretation, college preparation, smart goal setting, increased creativity, and positive internal reprogramming. Here are specific areas of interest: -Developed proven vocal techniques in collaboration with Dallas vocal teacher/composer William Bauer -Special training in child vocal pedagogy with Scott McCoy, DMA (NATS) -Strong background in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) -Successfully coordinate and record live streaming vocal lessons -Lifetime member of Sigma Alpha Iota Music Fraternity at Centenary College -Member National Association of Teachers of Singing -Member National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammy's)
Blogger/Social Media Enthusiast at Mevio
October 2006 - May 2013
I began my blog back in 2005. It was so successful I was encouraged to began podcast. I worked for a time with Mevio Entertainment until they closed shop last year. However, blogging was what drew me to connect with my audience, so I went back to those roots, utilized the power or Wordpress and republish my website (www.karmyntyler.com) to encompass my myriad of blog topics. Through the years, I have gain knowledge and studied the best ways to have a positive online presence. My topics vary from my love of professional tennis, skin care, battle of the sexes, social media market research, to the latest new tech apps and toys....not mention my life as an actress and singer! I appeal to the nerdy side of all women.
