Andrew Byrne

Andrew Byrne is the founder and author of The Singing Athlete, a training system that teaches singers how to use neuroscience and athletics to reach their vocal goals. Andrew’s NYC studio is made up of professional musical theatre performers, and his students have been seen in over 75 Broadway shows. Andrew also has several Broadway credits himself, including the pit orchestra for Les Misèrables.

Andrew has served on creative teams for The Sundance Theatre Lab, Yale Repertory Theatre, North Shore Musical Theatre, and many others. On television, he has worked as a vocal coach for America’s Got Talent (NBC) and Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (Showtime).

Twice named NYC’s favorite vocal coach in Backstage’s Reader Choice Awards, Andrew travels the world to bring his brand of brain-focused training to singers across the globe. In 2016, he was appointed by the U.S. State Department as the first Arts Envoy to the nation of Belarus, where he led the inaugural Russian-language production of the Pulitzer-Prize-winning Next to Normal. Other international teaching assigments have taken him to Singapore, Switzerland, Denmark, France, China, and four times to Australia. In North America, Andrew has enjoyed four teaching residencies in Canada (including The Banff Centre) and served as guest faculty for the prestigious University of Michigan musical theatre department.

Andrew’s side project is songwriting, where his work has been seen in feature films (IMDB page) and in prominent online sources such as Seth Rudetsky’s “Obsessed” series. His youtube channel has over 700,000 views, and his parody of Heisler and Goldrich’s “Taylor the Latte Boy” is his greatest hit.

Andrew is a master practitioner of Z-Health, a program of functional applied neuroscience for athletic trainers.
