Tara has been in the spotlight for fifteen years singing, dancing, acting and performing in musicals from LA to Boston. Originally from Los Angeles, Tara studied the Classical/Pop voice method for five years with vocal coach Valerie Fahren in L.A. Throughout her high school years, she attended a private literacy and arts school where she had her first solo performance. Tara has performed at numerous events and venues including The Lanterman Auditorium and a dozen industry showcases as a solo artist at the Celebrity Center in Los Angeles. MTV’s “My Own” showcased her rich and soulful voice on national television. Last year she was chosen to showcase for Sony and Mercury Records for a project they were putting together in Boston. It was then she met vocal coach/producer Ric Poulin and decided to make the move from LA to Boston to enroll in Bristol’s Artist Development program and start on her latest demo. She also decided to begin teaching the very method she has studied for so many years, and trained intensively under program director Ric Poulin in both the Bristol Gospel/Pop voice method and the Bristol Artist Development Program. Her musical influences include Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin and Alicia Keys. Tara is also an accomplished songwriter and a painter. As an educator, Tara thrives on the opportunity to share with her students the skills they need to achieve their own personal goals in the music industry and is inspired by the results she sees on a daily basis.

Patrice Peris is our newest vocal instructor here at Bristol Voice Studios. Patrice has always been involved in music, starting with a flurry of acting classes and vocal lessons as a child, and continuing on in high school where she performed in numerous musicals with Colliape Productions in the St. John’s Variety Shows and continued voice studies with Kathy Ludt of Shrewsbury. After finishing high school Patrice was accepted into the music program at Anna Maria College where she concentrated on Classical Music studies. Wanting to go back to her roots in Musical Theater, she left Anna Maria to attend the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where she earned a degree in Theater Studies. After college she went on to take classes at Foothills Theater as well as additional studies with vocal instructor Dawn Tucker. Eventually recognizing that her true passion was Pop/R&B music, Patrice found Bristol Voice Studios, where, studying for the past 3 years with founder, vocal coach/producer, Ric Poulin, she was finally able to find her true voice. She found more than that though as she discovered what Artist Development was all about first hand through the Bristol Program. Patrice approached her own development as an artist with total professionalism and drive and transformed herself into the singer/songwriter and recording artist she'd always envisioned. Well on her path to success, with a vivacious spirit and ambition that does not stop, Patrice is making her mark in the music world with her energetic live shows and impressive album demo. The industry is buzzing in return; her soulful and high energy original songs touch every generation and recently, could be heard on the Dom Armano mixshow on Boston’s own Kiss 108. Patrice has graced many stages and wowed audiences across New England. Some performances include the DCU Center, the nationally known Avalon 3-Day Walk for Cancer, one of New England’s oldest and most renowned fairs, The Topsfield Fair and numerous area festivals, clubs and lounges. Patrice is very excited to be part of the Bristol team, where she is able to share her life's passion, and be a knowledgeable and creative influence on other aspiring artists, just like her own vocal teachers have guided and inspired her.
