"First Class Talent at FSA Conference! Part I

If you've ever been to conference, you already know that some of the best LDS music artists share our love of adoption and, because of that, they are willing to share their talents with us at the national conference. We are pleased to announce one of the groups who will be joining us this year:



One Clear Voice

With a combined total of over 100 years in performance and 75 years of studio vocal work, One Clear Voice unites four of the LDS music industry's most recognizable female voices—

Tanya Barkdull began a professional singing career at the age of twelve. Since that time, Tanya's voice has been heard on over 1,000 recordings from television, film, and radio including; The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Touched by an Angel, The Oprah Winfrey Show and Disney's 101 Dalmatians. Her voice has been heard from Canada to Mexico, and throughout Europe. She has sung with amazing recording artists such as Billy Dean, BB King, Collin Raye, Donny Osmond and Gladys Knight. The accomplishment she is most proud of is her family. She and her husband, Gavon, are the parents of four wonderful children.

Johanne Fréchette Perry was born in Montréal, Canada and grew up in the Los Angeles area where she joined the church as a teenager. She has traveled the world with the BYU Young Ambassadors and graduated with a BFA in Music Dance Theatre. For over 20 years she has been a studio singer and has been featured as a soloist on many LDS recordings. She has delighted audiences across the U.S. and on PBS with her portrayal of early Utah settler Polly Matilda Merrill Colton in the show Polly: A One-Woman Musical, written by her husband, Steven Kapp Perry. When not singing she keeps busy with her four children, organic vegetable garden, and teaching genealogy and drama at American Heritage Academy.

Tammy Simister Robinson, a Music Education graduate and vocal instructor, began writing and arranging songs in high school. Her works have earned numerous Awards of Distinction in the annual LDS Church Music Submissions. Her song May I Serve Thee was twice broadcast worldwide during the LDS General Women's Meeting and was printed in the Ensign magazine. Her voice has been heard on hundreds of recordings for over 20 years and she has released three solo albums of original songs and hymn arrangements, including The Color of Hope and In Thy Hands which together earned a combined total of four FCMA Pearl Awards. Tammy and her husband live in Midvale, Utah and are the parents of two children.

LaRene Tinney has traveled and performed in the U. S., Asia, Israel, Europe, the former Soviet Union and many other parts of the world. Before graduating from Brigham Young University, she was a member of BYU’s Young Ambassadors. For more than ten years she has enjoyed doing back-up and choral work with many talented artists, her favorites being the other OCV ladies. As an accomplished dancer and actress, LaRene has a long list of musical theater experiences. One of her proudest moments came on national television as she was asked to brag about her family on the “Oprah Winfrey Show”. She and her husband reside in Orem with their 4 children.


Since their 2006 debut album, One Clear Voice has earned four distinguished awards for: Inspirational Album, Sacred Song, New Artist, and Group of the Year. Their second album, “Go Without Knowing” was released in December 2009. You can find out more about One Clear Voice at their website.
