Hailed by Opera News as an “excellent mezzo,” Indiana native Lori Guy has created a diverse career for herself by training and singing in operas, operettas, and musical theater productions. Lori has sung a variety of roles, including Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins, Prince Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus, Mother in Ragtime, Zita in Gianni Schicchi, Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro, and Kathy in Company. She has been seen most recently as Mercedes in Mississippi Opera’s performance of Carmen and as Maddalena in the Southern Opera and Musical Theatre Company’s Production of Rigoletto. Lori can be heard on the Albany Record’s recordings of Victor Herbert’s The Fortune Teller and Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance with the Ohio Light Opera Company.

Dr. Guy received her Master’s of Music and Doctorate of Musical Arts degrees from The University of Southern Mississippi and joined the faculty of The University of Mobile in 2015. Her musical theatre workshops: “Acting Driven Singing” and “Create, Don’t Critique!,” focus on helping singers find a natural approach to their musical theatre singing and acting and have allowed Dr. Guy to work with musical theatre singers from around the country. Dr. Guy specializes in teaching both classical and belt voice techniques and her students have been hired to sing nationally and internationally in operas, musical theatre productions and as worship leaders in major churches throughout the US.
