I worked with Jordan to improve my public speaking and presentation abilities. Since I work in…read moresales and am an entrepreneur, I have to make presentations all the time, deliver pitches, and talk on the phone. My biggest challenge is that my voice can waiver and get weak when I'm speaking to a large group. Jordan helped me find my vocal range, where I am strong, and where my voice goes weak. She explained how my breathing and throat work with my tongue and jaw to produce different sounds, and gave me exercises to improve my speaking ability and warm up so I can project with a strong, authentic voice. Since working with Jordan my speaking has improved. Even when I'm nervous in front of a crowd, I can now control my breathing and speech to present clearly and confidently, even if I have butterflies from having so many people's attention.

I am a very experienced musician - I have taken hundreds of music lessons from dozens of teachers,…read moreon a variety of instruments, and even have a performance degree from an elite music school. And I can say that Carol is one of the best, most dedicated and insightful teachers that I have ever encountered. I had a lot of damage from music school - i.e. "drummers can't sing", "you are tone deaf", etc. and Carol helped me move far past that into a place where I can sing comfortably, confidently, and most important of all, have fun doing it! Carol won't try to fit you into some style of music that you don't enjoy - a lot of teachers think that the only "real" singing is classical, jazz, etc. Carol is more of the Bruce Lee philosophy - she doesn't aim to fit you into a certain "style", she is there to help you produce the best sound that your body can make. We all sound different because we have different physical characteristics and backgrounds, and Carol helps you to understand the fundamentals so that you can fully express yourself without strain or injury. She is comfortable with students of all ranges - some of her students were very experienced musicians like me, and others were total beginners. But we all felt that she had helped us progress in a very big way. One of the biggest surprises of my time with Carol is how much healthier I became. As a child I had asthma, but now I think it may have been just bad breathing technique - no one ever taught me how to breathe! Carol showed me how to breathe in a more relaxed and full-body way, which means that I can run faster and longer, and lift more weight at the gym. That was a surprise! I have also noticed that my speaking voice is better - it is easier for me to talk to groups of people with or without a microphone. Now I can speak more clearly, with less strain and without blowing my voice out. My time with Carol was a very deep learning experience, but also a lot of fun; we miss her here in Chicago. Thanks Carol - you changed my life!

When I was in second grade and rehearsing for a class recital, the music teacher pulled me aside…read moreafterward and said, "Marissa maybe you should just move your lips. . ." Ever since then I've had an understandable fear of singing in front of people; A fear that I wanted to conquer. I needed a voice instructor who I could trust, who was easygoing, who had an open mind and a forgiving ear. I found what I needed in Kristin Chambers. Kristin is a talented, multi-faceted performer in her own right, and she put me completely at ease and made it clear that I'd be working at my own pace. She helped me set some realistic goals and then systematically helped me achieve them. I was a beginner and starting out at ground zero; but Kristin pushed me when I needed pushing, and didn't allow me to beat myself up when I was struggling. She was an A+ cheerleader. Because my fear of singing was boarder-line phobia, it's impossible to overstate how awesome it was to find someone willing to take me on, on my own terms and who tailored the instruction specifically to my needs. My brother asked me to sing a song at his wedding this fall. He's my brother and I couldn't refuse, but I first had to face the haunting legacy of that teacher's words. Thank Jeebus for Kristin Chambers because I sang in front of a big crowd in a small church this November and I felt strong, solid, confident, and prepared!
