She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. The laryngeal massages and targeted vocal exercises she's guided me through have made such a difference in helping me understand my voice and reduce tension.

If you're struggling with vocal tension or MTD, Paloma is someone you absolutely want on your team.

Paloma is a seasoned professional with an absolutely beautiful voice, and she made the entire process approachable, easy to digest, and genuinely fun. She taught me how the voice truly works--breath support, diaphragm use, vocal anatomy, resonance, tongue placement, and effective exercises that rebuilt my voice with care and intention. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional, yet she explains everything in a way that feels clear and accessible. Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Paloma's expertise, patience, and encouragement, I was able to deliver a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to my mother. If you are returning to singing after time away or preparing for something truly meaningful, I cannot recommend Paloma highly enough.

Brian is hands-down one of the best vocal coaches out there.

He's not cheap, but he's absolutely worth it if you want to learn efficiently instead of spending money on endless lessons that don't move the needle. I've been learning from him for almost a year, and I've learned so much more in that time than I did in four years at another studio. Thanks Brian!!

Music has always been there for me through many difficult parts of my life, but I've always felt like there was this gap between music and I that I could never close. I never felt like I had any talent to immerse myself, or further myself in it. Always just singing to myself, or when I'm alone, because that's the only time I have the courage to explore my voice. I have to say I've never felt this great singing before and it's only been four lessons. This year for me is big on self investment and rediscovering myself and where my interests/passion lies. You've gotta take some risks in life sometimes and taking a chance on vocal lessons with you has been by far one of the best decisions I've made in a while!. I'm still super stoked and I'm looking forward to what's to come!! Thanks voice dad!

The first lesson was a lot of information (in a good way) but each subsequent lesson has been a building block towards understanding my voice as an instrument and how to use it to its full potential.

Not shown - me practicing every exercise we go through 6 out of 7 days a week. She'll show you what to do, but only you can improve if you put in the work :)

Through Shannon's methods I have grown immensely more confident and have overcome my fear of singing in front of other people. She is very warm and knowledgeable in her approach and always offers a solution when I hit a roadblock. Her lessons have made me more interested in music theory and I look forward to exploring that side of music more. I would recommend her to anyone looking for voice lessons at any stage of your journey. She can help you find your voice and give you tools to better your approach. 100/10 teacher and person!

I'd always been interested in singing, but after hearing myself attempt to sing in the past, I was…read moreconvinced I was tone-deaf and felt discouraged. After my acting teacher recommended all actors do vocal training, I took the opportunity to try it. As an adult beginner with no real singing experience, searching for a place to start was intimidating, but I'm so glad I took the leap with this studio. Through the Vocal Foundation program with Stuart Wheeler, I've learned that I'm indeed NOT tone-deaf, and that with the right training and technique, I've been able to unlock a part of my voice that I've not been able to access until now. Stuart is a highly-skilled teacher, singer, and musician, with the ability to articulate complex musical terms in a way that easily clicks in my mind (and I'm not an easy person to teach!). He is a patient, compassionate instructor who provides a safe, fun space to learn and explore. I've enjoyed being able to choose the songs that we work on. My lessons have always been insightful and surprisingly empowering. In just a few months, I've gained much more control and confidence in my own voice, expanded my range, learned to be more mentally focused and present, and have sharpened my listening skills. I can now sing for pleasure without being so self-conscious. My vocal training has even helped improve my piano and guitar practice! The session rates are reasonable and the location/parking are convenient. I haven't had a chance to work directly with Jane but she has been lovely over our communications. Overall, I've gained so much from my training here and I look forward to continuing.

In a matter of months, I have dropped habits that were holding me back and regained long-lost vocal confidence. I can't recommend Jane enough. My only fear is that she gets too popular. I have also just started with Linnea, and am learning so much already. What a gift, to be able to work with these inclusive, expert professionals. (There are even air cleaners and a sneeze guard to reduce risks, if you are covid cautious or have vulnerable loved ones at home.) Love, love, love.

His classes were not only fun and incredibly informative but I also love the way he teaches. He delivers clear feedback in an encouraging way while also remaining open to your own interpretation of something. I like that he fosters your instinct as an artist and works with your point of view. It's a fine balance! When I learned he started an in-person Acting Technique class, I knew I had to give it a try. His VO classes are amazing so I figured this class would be too. I was right! I've been going for almost 6 months and I've learned so much. The class is so unique in that it touches upon several exercises and techniques to give you a well-rounded experience. There is scene work, yes, but that's just one of a number of things we work on. There are different improv exercises, character work assignments, mock-auditions, and scene work that is rehearsed and ultimately filmed. I can really see improvement when looking back at my earlier clips in class. I HIGHLY recommend checking out his classes, especially his Acting Technique class. David is a wonderful, encouraging teacher with a wealth of knowledge and the ability to give clear direction while fostering your own unique voice.

[from an early intermediate adult]…read more  I couldn't have dreamed up a better piano teacher than Darya. I'm not sure one better even exists. As accomplished, knowledgeable, and pleasant as she is, lessons with her are as instructive as they are entertaining. Often coming to her with a wealth of questions at the top of our weekly, far-too-short hour together ("time flies when you're ..."), she's never failed to answer each with depth and clarity. After this, as expected, we go through-or vacillate between lesson-to-lesson: technique; theory; ear-training; and our current piece of music. For said music, I've brought in to learn:   - video game tunes - the heaviest metal - 90s pop - hip-hop from high school - and far, far, far too difficult classical compositions (which she politely--but importantly--asked me to put aside for ... awhile)   All save for the last--and the last in time (we'll get to that Tchaikovsky one day, Darya!), she welcomed each with a smile. Welcomed each with enthusiasm. Welcomed each with all the soul and warmth they deserve.
