Jeremy Hunt, Current Central Florida NATS Secretary and Treasurer
Originally from Warner Robins, Georgia, Jeremy Hunt received his Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. He went on to receive both his Masters and his Doctorate in Vocal Performance from the prestigious Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. During his time at IU, Dr. Hunt studied with world-renowned singers and teachers Virginia Zeani, Giorgio Tozzi, and Andreas Poulimenos. He also held the position of Associate Instructor of voice for four years, and saw several of his students embark on successful performing careers. Dr. Hunt began his own performance career as a baritone, but has since switched to the tenor fach. His portrayal of Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia was described as “delightfully entertaining and [he] filled the stage with his presence and voice.” (Peter Schimpf, Bloomington Independent). His operatic credits also include Valentin in Faust, Guglielmo in Cosí fan tutte, Lescaut in Massenet's Manon, Cesare in Handel's Giulio Cesare, and Danilo in The Merry Widow, all with Indiana University Opera Theater. Jeremy has worked with acclaimed stage directors Tito Capobianco, Stefano Vizioli, David Gately, Herbert Kellner, Dale Girard, Vince Liotta, and Mark Ross Clark. He has been a featured soloist with The Riverside Symphonia in Lambertville, NJ, The Orlando Chorale, the Orlando Philharmonic and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, and is a frequent recitalist in the US and abroad.
Dr. Hunt has a strong interest in the Italian language and repertoire, and has twice participated in the Ezio Pinza Council for American singers of Opera in Oderzo, Italy. He also attended the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Siena, Italy for an intensive study of the language.
In addition to his musical interests, Jeremy is a registered and insured yoga instructor with the Yoga Alliance, and incorporates his knowledge and practice of yoga into the voice studio.
Dr. Hunt has been on faculty at the University of Central Florida since 2005, as Assistant Professor of Music.

She has a Bachelor of Music from Converse College and a Master of Music from Florida State University.
As a specialist on the adolescent voice, she has taught workshops including “Healthy Vocal Technique for Young Singers and Actors", "Using Broadway Songs to Teach Good Vocal Technique", "Teaching Young People to Sing", and "The Young Male Adolescent Voice". She presented a lecture demonstration, "Singing for the Professional Actor", at the Southeastern Theatre Conference. She presented a teaching demonstration, "Boys to Men: Developing Healthy and Vibrant Male Adolescent Voices" at the NATS National Conference in Nashville, TN in 2008.

Edmund LeRoy, Central Florida NATS Founding Officer
Baritone Edmund LeRoy, the senior professor of voice at Rollins College, holds the Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from the Juilliard School.
Dr. LeRoy was twice awarded the Enrico Caruso Memorial Prize at Juilliard and is a past unanimous first prize winner of the prestigious Naumburg International Competition in Lieder. He made his New York recital debut at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, which the New York Times noted as “a joy to hear.” He has since concertized in this country and abroad, in solo concerts, with orchestra, and in radio broadcasts. With an intense interest in new music, he has premiered many new works for voice including Ellen Taafe Zwilich’s Einsame Nacht.
Dr. LeRoy’s many students have pursued diverse interests. Many have gone on to graduate studies at conservatories and music schools. Others have followed careers in law and medicine. His students have sung in opera houses around the world including Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera, have taken up teaching careers of their own, and even appeared as showgirls in Las Vegas. He is a founding member of the Central Florida chapter of NATS.
