Opera Crossover Baritone | Vocal Training Expert | Creator of Vocathletic System (TM) for Voice, Singing & Speech

I have been training with Bulent since February 2020! He is an outstanding teacher who is formally trained by conservatories and has developed his own vocal method, which has transformed my singing abilities! It’s all about the true scientific method of singing that creates the purest tones and protects your voice. You can’t go wrong by choosing him as your teacher!

I started lessons with Bulent about 7 years ago. When I started, I had absolutely no singing experience but was eager to learn as the art of singing has always fascinated me.

Over the course of 7 years, I went from having a timid, off-tune singing voice to a rich, full and confident singing voice. My ear training has greatly improved but as always in a work in progress.

Through lessons, I have learned the vocathletic method, I have worked through about 1/2 of Concone, I started Vaccai and have added various other songs to my repertoire. I have become more familiar with music theory through working with him.


At the beginning of lessons, I started off in the tenor range but over time I settled confidently into the bass range. Uncovering my true voice has been extremely rewarding as I am able to sing freely and confidently when singing songs written for my specific range.


Bulent is an extremely kind and patient instructor. I never believed I would be able to sing and certainly not nearly as well as I do after 7 years. I would highly recommend Bulent to anyone looking to learn to sing.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from Bulent. I have no prior experience in music and decided to take voice coaching lessons so I can begin singing in my church. Bulent clearly has a vast knowledge of music and patiently taught me the fundamentals which I found very valuable for a beginner like me. I learned so much from the first lesson and was so motivated I immediately signed up for weekly sessions. Despite his many accomplishments and impressive music career, Bulent was down to earth, patient and friendly which made for a session where I felt more comfortable and more receptive to learn. I am very excited and optimistic to see how my voice improves over time!

Bulent is an exceptional and unique teacher. Blending great clarity, passion, knowledge and warmth, he has provided me with the tools to dramatically enhance my vocal talents. Whether breathing, posture, legato, tone, control, phrasing or otherwise, Bulent is remarkably attentive, engaging and effective. As layers of insight and achievement are unlocked, his vocal wisdom and musicianship contributes to my ever-deepening understanding. In a profound way, Bulent teaches me to "not-do", to get out of the way and let my body do what it naturally wants to do; although this may sound like a blithe Zen epiphany it is anything but. . .it requires extensive explanations and refined explanations, often attempting one sound many dozens of times before the smallest breakthrough. It requires great patience and caring on the part of the teacher. I unequivocally recommend Bulent and earnestly thank him.

"Bulent is an excellent vocal teacher, and so much more too. Many aspects of my life were changed for the better after working with Mr. Guneralp. Not only will he help you bring out the best of your musical potential, but he can offer great insight on how to live a healthier and more wholesome life. I'm honored to call this man a mentor, and a friend. Thanks Bulent!!"

I studied with Bulent for about eight months while I lived in Boston, and was able to remotely study with him after I moved away. This is the first formal voice training I have had. I was immediately impressed by Bulent's deep knowledge and passion for music. My first class was quite unique, in that he spent a lot of time going over the anatomy of all the organs that are used when one is singing. I found that foundation very useful when working on different aspects of my voice. The classes consist of two parts -- fundamental training and repertoire building. Bulent observes the student and gives instruction based on performance. He will also assign exercises for the student to do while at home; these are important because they are helping to train the relevant muscles. Bulent's instructions are very detailed and personalized, and most importantly they come from a place of love; it is rare to see a teacher so in love with both the field of music as well as the people he encounters. This love provided an exceptional setting for being able to focus on learning the truths of music, without fear of judgement or ridicule. Not only did I improve my vocal abilities while training with Bulent, my awareness as a singer also grew tremendously. That awareness allows me to help myself improve while I practice on my own.

He is a marvelous teacher and a delightful person. If you are looking for a voice teacher, you can't do any better! I thoroughly enjoy every moment of every lesson!

"Amazing! Simply amazing! I've taken lessons before, but none have ever stood out as much as this first one. Over the last 2 years I've built up bad habits that have left my voice strained after singing just one song, but with Bulent's guidance and knowledge, I was able to immediately feel the difference in my vocal stamina and range. Furthermore, Bulent emphasized the importance of proper breath control with simple but effective techniques - something that I essentially lacked. It was overall a wonderful experience!! Can't wait for the next one!" - Nestor C
