In 1989, Carlos Almenar Otero and the prominent performer Maritza Salcedo created the Carlos Almenar Otero Foundation in Caracas, Venezuela. Together, they worked on the training and development of talents in order to provide them with opportunities to educate their voice and be successful in their musical careers.

This project was a resounding success and achieved support from various organizations and the government. The renowned teaching method and the same mission led them to establish the Foundation in the United States in 2014, where Martiza Salcedo, who recently won first place in the International Latino Book Awards with her book «108 questions: ABC of voice », continues the commendable work as vice president.
