About Voice House

Who we are. What we do.

A family bound by their love for God, each other, and their passion- Music

VoiceHouse is literally a family. Fred and Becky Ritter were married in 1979 and began raising their 5 children, Jacob, Alexander, Celeste, David, and Brianna. Since then they have added Celeste’s husband Scott and their children... Joshua, Harrison and Lenora. Also in the family are Alex’s wife Maggie and there son Maxwell. Brianna’s and her husband, Aaron added the fifth grandchild in 2017 with little Georgia. This family is held together by their love of God and each other. As educators (Fred in music and Becky as an elementary teacher) it is no surprise that the children have chosen similar paths. Jacob, Celeste, and Brianna have degrees in music education and are teaching music in the public schools. Alex has a Music Business degree where he has developed technological skills in recording, sound reproduction and website management, and David who is a youth pastor in Minnesota and has also developed skills as a worship leader and worked in video production for his church. Each has countless hours of performing and directing music at almost every level.

Family Testimonials

This will give you a look into the individuals that make up the VoiceHouse!

“My life goes on in endless song, above earths lamentations. I hear the real though far off hymn that hails a new creation. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?” – Robert Lowery. This is my story and my song. I thank God for my salvation, my wife, my family, and the music that connected me with so many wonderful students and colleagues over the decades. All woven together in a beautiful tapestry that that I am blessed to call my life. Serving my family and others in this new capacity after retirement is a blast! Blessing to all from the Ritter house…the VoiceHouse!

Fred Ritter

I believe there is something very special about music. I started to record and produce vocal and instrumental groups, in hopes of saving in digital format, the music that meant so much to its creators. In 2005 I entered the Music Business degree program at the University of Nebraska, Kearney. There I studied a number of topics including arranging, conducting, private vocal study, composition, audio production, music business, and many more. Equipped with a better understanding of music and the music business world, I began my first audio production collaboration with Kent Lutt, which eventually lead to the formation of our own audio production company. I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 2011 with a Bachelors in Music and an emphasis in Music Business. Equipped with my new found knowledge and experience, I have since decided to continue my journey of learning to better capture, engineer, and produce the music that can change a life.

“…lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.” Ephesians 4:1 My calling has many facets, as most do, and I hope dedicate each day in pursuit of leading a life worthy of that call. My greatest blessing is my husband Scott and three amazing children, Joshua, Harrison and Lenora. I’ve recently received a master’s degree from Doane University, where I also earned my bachelor’s degree in 2008. I am the co-chair of Vocal Jazz for Nebraska Choral Directors Association and a member of NMEA. I am in my 11th year teaching choir and directing shows at Columbus Middle School. I also enjoy giving private music lessons and ministering through music at church. It is a joy to do what I do, and I pray I do it with all of my heart.

Celeste Ditter

Making music to the Lord is something I passionately pursue. I am thankful for the opportunities in my life that have led me to where I am today. In 2015, I graduated from Concordia University with a Bachelor’s in Music Education and taught music in Shelby and Rising City, Nebraska for one year. I am now loving the season I am in: being able to primarily be with my husband and two kids, Aaron, Georgia and Oliver, but also being able to use my musical abilities to serve the Lord. It is my joy to be the worship director at my church and teach my few private students piano, vocal, and guitar lessons. I am so grateful that no matter what season of life we find ourselves, if we find our identity in Jesus Christ, there is always fullness of joy.

Brianna Rerucha

Music has been a defining characteristic in my life since I can remember. It has brought me a multitude of opportunities, such as the chance to live in many interesting places and to meet many, incredible people. My fondest memories all have to do with music and helped me to grow in some way. Granted, some of them are happy memories, while others are sad or frustrating, but they all contributed to making me a better musician and overall person. Now, I have the opportunity to pass that love of vocal music onto others, be it through the high school choral program at Columbus High School or through the audiences that VoiceHouse has had the opportunity to sing for over the past several years. It is all a blessing and an honor, and I am thankful for it each day I get the opportunity.

Music has been an incredible blessing in my life. From being very young and participating in honor choirs and bands, to starting my own band, to traveling on a worship team for my college, to now leading worship at my church in Minnesota. Had it not been for music, I would not have been able to experience even a fraction of some of my fondest memories throughout life. It is so amazing to see even today the places music is taking me, even though its secondary to youth ministry for me! I have spent the last 5 years pastoring the students of Mankato, and teaching as much music as I can as the main worship leader for the church.
