Moving to Canada in 1995, Dmitri discovered Speech Level Singing (SLS) through Seth Riggs' book "Singing for the Stars". Applying these techniques helped Dmitri to dramatically increase his vocal range and presence. His students also benefited greatly from learning and applying SLS. Fulfilling all the requirements, Dmitri became one of only 11 Certified Speech Level Singing Instructors here in Canada.
