I can only speak for my experience with Julie, but quite frankly, she has helped me tremendously with my breathing, projection, vocal clarity, and most of all supported breathing. She has a unique way of honing in on what is hindering your talent and unlocking it to where you hear a distinct difference each time you try her exercises. People listen to me when I speak at work now because Julie improved my breathing. When I talk now, it is supported and carries across the room. When I am on the phone now people don't interrupt. These are a few of the many positive changes that I've seen in my life since working with Julie and there are countless other examples. It isn't just about singing, it's about improving the way you communicate. Each lesson I learned something new about my voice and how to make it sound as I've always wanted it to. I would highly recommend any amount of lessons with Julie because right off the bat she will change your life as she did mine. I learned more in a month with Julie than I would have with a year of training with someone else. It's consolidated and challenging but she makes it fun and exciting. I am utterly astounded by how much vocal quality I have now not to mention the drastic change in how I feel since breathing properly. Let Julie teach you- you won't regret it! Thank you Julie! read more

Julie is absolutely awesome! Not only did she really help me correct my singing technique, but she is also just a warm, caring person who knows what she is doing and seems to really love what she does. I have been singing for several years but was never really classically trained, unless you count high school choir (which I don't). I came to her because I was becoming frustrated with my voice when it came to certain notes, etc. I couldn't ever figure out what I was doing wrong. In just the first lesson, she was able to pinpoint my mistakes and taught me how to fix them. What I really liked was that she customized my learning experience to fit me. Her lessons are very individual-based, and the way she teaches one student is not the way she would teach another. As someone who works in a field where you need to change your technique around to suit the customer, this was important to me. I learned some very valuable techniques which I have actually been able to apply to other aspects of my life as well, which was a happy and unexpected bonus! All in all, I feel much more confident in my voice now, and I have several tools "under my belt" which have really been helping me. No longer am I confused and frustrated! Thank you Julie! read more

I am a singer-songwriter who loves different kinds of music from traditional to more contemporary world folk. My brother decided to give me voice lessons for my birthday and found Julie online. Since then, I've already had a few lessons (bundle) and my confidence level has tremendously improved, I'm a different singer now because of Julie, because she helped improve my confidence level by explaining the technicality of breath and what I need to be aware of during the process of singing a note, ending a note, holding a note, etc. and much much more. I've always felt my confidence is what holds me back when singing and "trying" to let go. Julie's holistic approach to singing and her way of adapting lessons/technical aspects to my singing needs (different styles/languages) is truly a gift for a teacher and I feel very fortunate to have Julie as my vocal coach. Her passion for singing and teaching others is inspiring. I plan on continuing to study voice with Julie and learn more about the art of singing from an incredible teacher. Thank you so much for helping me on my musical journey. Yemima read more

In one month, taking voice lessons with Julie Brown has improved the quality of my voice in all technical categories into which the voice can be divided (correct breathing, resonance, pitch, dynamics). Julie warmly and enthusiastically tailored each lesson to me and the vocal problems I was experiencing. Her spirit is exploratory and fun, and she has a good memory for details from previous lessons. I brought my guitar to a couple of lessons, and she helped me work on songs that I had written. Julie is a genuine person who is contagiously optimistic and deeply empowering. In addition to the improvement of my voice, my confidence has improved. Julie also suggested the possibility, one I'd never considered, for voiceover work, and she assisted me in accessing sounds that might be used for characters or effects. I recommend Julie for any vocal training need you might have (singing, breathing techniques, speech modification). read more

You will walk out of Julie Brown's Voice Studio with a smile on your face and confidence in your stride. I'm not a professional speaker or singer, but I called Julie up for some general voice lessons because I wanted to get the best use out of my voice since I use it every day. I was more than satisfied!! She tailored the lessons to my needs and goals. She even got rid of my annoying midwestern accent and gave me a more pure speaking voice. The atmosphere is very relaxed and you'll find it easy to be yourself and practice without holding anything back. I just recently had a final presentation for my summer job after a couple lessons, and the audience provided written feedback at the end. I received compliments such as "well spoken and clear" and "had command of the room". I didn't know I had this kind of stuff in me! And if you're lucky, her positive outlook on life and uplifting spirit will rub off on you. Thanks Julie! read more

I came in without any formal background or training in singing technique. I purchased a 4 lesson bundle not knowing what to expect and ended up with a great experience and a huge vocal improvement. Over the course of the lessons I learned there are many schools and philosophies of singing, and through Julie's clear guidance and concrete methodology I came out with a set of tools to create a powerful singing voice. Her credentials are remarkable and a testament to her methodology, and it is equally important that she is patient and empowering in her training. I was allowed to state my own goals as a vocalist, which Julie took into great consideration for how she structured my lessons. If you come in with an open mind and the readiness to transform your voice, you will not be disappointed. read more

My brother surprised me with a gift of a voice lesson when I visited him in Austin. We have been playing and singing together many years and he told me about Julie and how she had changed the shape of his voice. I was amazed at how she was able to listen to me sing and start to give me pointers on what i needed to work on to bring my voice forward and increase clarity. By the end of that one lesson I could feel the power of my voice become amplified and the clarity increase dramatically simply by adjustments in my technique and delivery. It was eye opening. I did not realize that such small adjustments could have that kind of impact. I have been practicing using her techniques and my singing ability and confidence have received a big boost. She is truly an expert. Thank you Julie!!!!!!!! read more

What can I say about Julie Brown? She is FABULOUS! I came to Julie to expand my classical repertoire and to continue working on my vocal technique. Her mastery of her craft is extremely apparent and often I am amazed at her ability to easily exhibit and convey certain concepts in vocal technique and song analysis. Throughout my career I have had several vocal coaches, but Julie is by far the most fun and enthusiastic, which has done wonders for building my confidence. Her studio is as good as it gets in searching for a positive and fun environment to grow as a musician. What teacher would you rather have: one that cracks a whip or one that makes you smile? I guarantee that Julie will help you feel good about your singing while making you a better singer at the same time. read more

Julie completely transformed my voice in only 4 lessons. I've sung all my life but recently my boyfriend and I decided it was time to invest more in my voice and take some classes, I found Julie and read all the 5 star reviews incredulously, not really believing that any vocal instructor could be THAT great. Well she was worth every star they gave her and then some. She is not only professional and knowledgeable but patient, positive and encouraging. When listening back to the demos I recorded prior to our classes and then the ones I recorded after taking lessons with Julie, I was amazed at the vast improvement in pitch, tone quality and texture of my voice. Thank you so much Julie!! read more

I love music and I make some of my own, but I've never had any vocal lessons. Well, Julie was a perfect vocal coach to find. I've done 3 of our 4 lessons and I think I've improved about as drastically as can reasonably be expected from 3 lessons, which, in the case of Julie's lessons, is a lot. If you're a newbie like me, I highly, highly recommend her. I'm so much more confident in my vocal ability now. In just 3 weeks! If you're experienced, I'm sure you'd still gain something too. She's super enthusiastic and really great. It takes courage to sing in front of someone and Julie recognizes this...so she makes you feel very comfortable. Just give her a call!!! read more

Julie Brown is such a wonderful voice teacher. Her enthusiasm and teaching techniques have helped me develop my voice beyond anything I could have hoped for. She doesn't just teach rote techniques...she has the indispensable ability to alter her techniques to fit the student. She has taught me so much in the lessons I've had with her. I feel more confident in my singing ability than I ever have. My tone, resonance, breathing and pitch have all improved greatly since I started working with Julie. I highly recommend her as a vocal coach. (Plus, she is an absolutely lovely person with an incredible voice. Brava!) read more

Julie was so amazing from my first lesson! She is positive, fun, and always makes you smile. I looked forward to my lesson every week and could feel so much improvement right away! I'm so happy that I chose her as my voice coach - she increased my confidence and taught me a huge skillset in such a small amount of time. She is so talented and experienced and wants to share that with all her students! I'm so sad that today was my last lesson and hope that I have time to continue lessons with her in the future. Absolutely the best!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Julie over the last month and I can't recommend her coaching style enough. Julie is a highly skilled singer and coach who will be able to adapt her coaching styles depending on what your goals and styles are. She brings a certain positivity to the lessons that really makes you believe in yourself which is incredibly important in performing arts. The 4 session bundle is worth and I will continue to go to her in the future. I felt like I gained a mentor in this process. read more

What can I say about Julie Brown? She's an excellent teacher because she not only tells, but shows! I was expecting lessons filled with different techniques, I got so much more! Julie filled me with positive radiating confidence that I didn't have before, all thru her knowledge and passion for transforming people into singers! You bet I'm going to continue using everything she taught me all throughout my life, she doesn't just teach, she enlightens you on a positive outlook on life! read more

So I have never taking a singing lesson in my life, and after four lessons I feel extremely confident in my ability to sing songs in my low and high range. Julie has a personality that just excites you and makes you want to learn and improve your singing, and I looked forward to coming back and learning something new everyday that took me from zero to a solid base to build and grow from. If you want someone who will develop your voice, Julie is worth her weight in gold! read more

Julie, you've been such a blessing to my daughter Kristelle. She was always confident on stage but you have helped her develop a new power in her gorgeous voice. Your very positive methods of teaching are just what she needed and it's evident in her performance as Eliza in My Fair Lady. The whole production has been wonderful and it all begins with an Eliza with a beautiful voice. Thank you so much! Bobby Martin read more

Julie is a gifted teacher and has incredibly positive energy. She is THE BEST! I went to Julie to improve my range and projection- and that is exactly what happened! After my first lesson I left with more tools than months of work with previous voice teachers. Her methods are fluid, she tailors her instruction to you, and it works!! I can't thank her enough and I am so happy with the results of our lessons! read more

Julie helped me so much with my speaking voice. I am not a singer but wanted to learn how to strengthen and control my speaking voice better. She takes a holistic approach and is very kind and caring which made me feel much more comfortable. Working with Julie has given me the confidence I needed. I would highly recommend her for any type of voice training. She is an excellent teacher! read more

My daughter needed to prepare for college voice auditions quickly so she might receive a scholarship.
