Marvin was employed as a bari-tenor soloist in Canada as a member of the Vancouver Opera (EQUITY), and, as a member of the Vancouver Chamber Choir, Association of Canadian Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA).  His singing career granted him the opportunity to perform in South America, Europe, China, Hong Kong and throughout the United States and Canada. His doctoral dissertation on the operatic tenor of the French Baroque, “The Haute-contre Voice”, has received international recognition from the North American Association of Teachers of Singing (NAATS), the European Voice Teachers Association (EVTA) and the Association Française Professeurs du Chant (ATPC), who invited him to be their guest lecturer at the NATS International Millennium Festival, Lyon Opera House, France.

 

In addition to his solo career, Dr Regier is very active as a vocal pedagogue, music theatre director, music festival adjudicator, and, a guest clinician for vocal and choral workshops. As a clinician for the summer vocal pedagogy session at Columbia University in 2007 the New York Singing Teachers Association (NYSTA) recognized him as a “Master Teacher”.
