Pandeli Lazaridi, Director of the Academy, has spent over 25 years developing his uniquely simple, yet powerful techniques of breath control, enunciation, and articulation using consonant and vowel sound theory. Classically trained at the National Conservatory of Athens, Greece, the National School of Drama in Athens, and in Italy, Mr. Lazaridi has lectured and conducted seminars in voice, breathing, and acting.
