Ron is an excellent actor, singer, and artist. Beyond all that, a finer human being you will not find. I love it that Debbie Millman has honored him. Ron studied singing with me and he always grew and exceeded my expectations. Ron has inspired me in art and once acknowledged some sketches I had done. Ron, you have no idea how much that meant to me! His inspiration has stayed with me, in that I now believe more in myself than before. The student inadvertently became the mentor. I am so proud to have been his vocal coach. It was an honor and a privilege. Here is a secret about vocal coaches: The most talented singers make us look so good and the key word, the thing a person is born with very aptly describes Ron Burrage, talented! Who am I?
