Craig has been fantastic!!! As a gigging musician he really has been teaching the nuances that I've…read morebeen utilizing to hone my voice. He's super non-judge mental and really just wants to make me sound good, which makes singing in front of him confortable. I honestly have been skeptical of singing teachers in the past, as I have had experiences just singing scales over and over again. Craig is the real deal. I noticed vast improvements in my vocal tone after just a few lessons, and was hitting notes well above what I thought my vocal range was. He also helped me discover my middle voice, which now allows me to sing with ease without straining. I can go on and on about the benefits I've noticed, but I don't want to make this post too long. If you're considering getting a voice lesson from Craig, I suggest scheduling your first lesson, and thank yourself later, haha.

I've had 3 voice teachers in the past, and none have made such an impact to my singing as Craig…read morehas. ngl, I wasn't impressed at first, but we found our rhythm after 3 lessons, and my level improved by leaps and bounds within a couple of months. I never even knew what a mixed voice was before him, but him helping find it was so transformative. I came to him an amateur, and within months, I am singing professionally with a band! I get excited when it's time to come see him (twice per week) bc I know we're going to hit another milestone, or another new vocal ability! And the huge smile on his face when I get that "aha" moment, you can just tell her takes personal joy, pride and gratification in the knowledge that he has a hand in that (in my progression). I also love that he can help with any genre, I dip my toes in theater, rock, pop, Spanish/mariachi music, he can help all of it!

She was a complete beginner and super shy to sing even in front of him. But uncle Junior created a safe and comfortable environment, and his calming presence put her at ease. He has an incredible ear and picked up on her bad habits immediately, and his exercises and techniques were easy to understand and apply. Her tone is now clearer, her projection is stronger, and her confidence is soaring. She genuinely looks forward to every lesson and it is obvious how training with him has helped her overall growth, maturity, and confidence. Thank you, Junior, for helping my daughter find her voice!

Working with Junior has transformed my singing and transformed me as a person. He is such a positive teacher with immense passion for his craft and his students.

I highlight recommend taking singing lessons with Junior. Our voice lessons are the highlight of my day!

It has been a dream of mine since I was a kid to take voice lessons. The closest training I ever…read moregot was high school chorus and a couple music classes while in college. But even after taking these classes, I've always wanted to do more. But when life got busy, I ended up putting this passion on hold. As I got older (and hopefully wiser lol), I realized there will never be a right time to do the things we love until we make time for them. So I did a quick Google search and found Grammy award winning soprano, Audrey Luna. And this is where I started my beautiful musical journey. To be honest, I really was a bit scared and anxious to reach out to her knowing I had no real musical background. But I took a leap of faith and sent her an email to let her know I was interested in private voice lessons. She responded promptly and inquired about the reason for wanting voice lessons. And I told her for personal development. She quoted me a reasonable price for a trial session. And before I knew it, I was attending my 1st private voice lesson :) Although she is a world renowned singer AND Grammy award winning soprano, she truly is a humble and kind person. During my lesson, she taught me how to do some vocal-warm ups and improvements with my singing technique. I was able to immediately notice a difference in my singing ability, which really surprised me. She helped me to determine what my range was. All my life I thought I was an alto because I was told this in my high school chorus class. But with Audrey's guidance doing vocal-warm ups and help with technique, she was able to reveal the soprano in me to my great delight :) If you are looking for a friendly, supportive, patient, kind, knowledgeable, vocal coach who has solid technique and the voice like an angel, look no further. Audrey is everything stated above and so much more! For one whole hour, you will have access to a vocal coach with over 15 years of experience who teaches any level (including beginners like me), who is able to sing and teach in all genres and multiple languages. For all the years of experience and knowledge Audrey has, you would think her voice lessons would cost an arm and a leg. But her prices are so affordable, she has students ranging from young to old and even internationally. Audrey has helped me achieve a personal goal, and this has meant so much to me. I feel so lucky and privileged to have a vocal coach of this magnitude guide and support me in this wonderful musical journey. I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.

First of all: Audrey is a wonderful colleague and a great teacher!…read more I am an opera and concert singer (working mainly in Germany and Europe) and have worked with many teachers and coaches. When I had the opportunity to sing the extremely difficult coloratura part of "Ariel" from Thomas Adès' "The Tempest," I became aware of Audrey. She has successfully sung this supernatural part at the world's greatest opera houses (MET, La Scala, Vienna, etc.)! I felt very honored when she immediately agreed to help me. And all of this online (due to the great distance between us). Her singing technique is so experienced and stable that she can master the most demanding parts with a healthy voice, and she can also teach this technique. Not many teachers are able to listen to or see their students online and correct them so precisely and effectively. Audrey does this very well, and I firmly believe that live lessons with her would be even more brilliant! She also attaches particular importance to the development of musical colors, dynamics, phrasing, and expression/acting. I was able to successfully perform "Ariel" with her and haven't wanted to stop working with her since. Now she advises and helps me with classical repertoire such as Queen of the Night, Olympia, Blonde, etc. I would also like to emphasize that Audrey supports me with repertoire questions, career planning, and mental training, which is essential in this business. I can recommend her to every singer (whether beginner, advanced or professional)!

If you really want to improve your singing ability or have a child that you want to turn into a…read moresuper star, Yvonne is the absolute best! I started taking voice lessons from Yvonne this past year and she's more amazing than ever. Not only does she have the most phenomenal voice, but she has an incredible work ethic and a vibrant, energetic and positive attitude! Being able to take voice from someone who is genuinely passionate and super fun to be around is such a gift. Having a boring teacher is like being stabbed by the subject you're trying to learn. It can really make or break the experience, especially if you're new to the arts or a young child. Yvonne's students range from young children to high schoolers to adults, at all different skill levels. When I first started taking lessons, I was so worried about what she'd think of my voice because hers is so incredibly powerful. But I eventually got over that silly fear because Yvonne is so kind and knows how to help change your technique in a way that anyone can learn to sing with practice. At your voice lesson Yvonne accompanies you on piano or you can sing to a karaoke track if you'd prefer. You start with important warm-up exercises and you get to sing whatever type of song you'd prefer. You can take a 30 or 60 minute lesson and pay through her website (http://www.voicebyyvonne.com). If you're really serious about voice lessons, she's who I'd recommend because she expects you to practice and your instructional time will be 5-stars on every level.
