After several sessions, I noticed that we weren't tackling specifically that, but many other aspects of how I talk, the words I use, why I say the things I say, among other things, that all indirectly were adding or affecting me in many other ways, but super related to my insecurities. Sam has helped me feel more confident with myself and with my inner voice (no pun intended). I have become more mindful of the words I use, in a natural way. I can't stress enough how much Sam has impacted me personally and professionally. So grateful to have met her!

I'm a working SAG-AFTRA film and television actor; and, I booked a part in a major studio feature…read morefilm. My character plays guitar and sings. Playing guitar is in my zone, but I am not a trained singer; hence, I started searching for singing coaches on the Internet. I found HEATHERVOX. She had a lot of positive reviews; hence, I scheduled a session with her; and, I am so happy I did. - She has a beautiful singing voice; and, she immediately assessed my singing competency baseline. - She immediately started me on vocal techniques that quickly controlled the movement of my neck, mouth, and vocal cords. Most importantly, she taught me the importance of relaxing the vocal cords throughout the octaves. - After 40 minutes of teaching proper singing techniques and using the techniques she taught me going up and down scales, it was time to apply the techniques to a song. - I sang, Here Comes The Sun, by the Beatles; and, I was amazed -- I immediately noticed the improvement in my singing -- now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't just "add boiling water and instant noodles" kind-of- thing, but it was a drastic and noticeable improvement in my singing voice. I still have a lot of work and practice to do. Now, I have more controlled volume, my voice is more robust, colorful, and dimensional, AND I am able to hit higher notes easier without strain. I was also amazed with the added tone quality Heather gave me through her singing techniques. Heather recorded my session; hence, I have a starting baseline of my singing voice. I can track my progress. I also have recordings of the techniques she taught me; so, I can replicate them while doing my homework. I have 6 months from today, 23-January-2025, to get my singing skills on-point; hence, I am 100% certain, working with Heather, will get me to my goal. I scheduled additional appointments with her, and she gave me homework and exercises to work on before my next session. I really enjoy the straw exercise -- extremely helpful. Finally, I like that Heather has good business ethics. She assessed my progress and gave me a class schedule that matched her forecast of my progress within the 6 months -- she didn't try to sell me more lessons than I needed. I'm very happy working with Heather to get me to my singing goals for this feature film. Check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino

I came into the studio (virtually, lol) nervous and super self-conscious about my voice, and she immediately helped me feel at home and more at ease with producing sound. Her technical explanations and the visual imagery she provides during warm-ups have been revelatory as well. She's helped me expand my range, improve my vocal tone, and strengthen my confidence as a singer. I recommend her highly. I'd honestly give her double the stars if I could :)

I have been taking vocal lessons from Morgan for two months and have seen an immediate improvement in my vocal abilities upon starting. As someone who coaches for a living, I immediately recognized Morgan's ability to communicate with me in a clear and direct way. She has the uncanny knack of adapting her style to fit the best way that I learn. Anyone who has taught before knows how hard that is, but Morgan is a natural in this department. If you are looking for a vocal coach who will work on your specific strengths/weaknesses with the utmost mindfulness, and generate results quickly, you have come to the right place.

I have been working with Danielle for about two months. I played musical instruments in my…read morechildhood and adolescence and have always loved singing, but don't have any formal vocal training. Voice lessons seemed like a great and portable way to bring music back into my daily life without committing to an instrument. In my experience, Danielle is a phenomenal voice instructor. She quickly figured out what I could already do and where I needed help to grow. She helped me pick songs that fit my style and vocal range. We have worked on several songs and I've found one that feels like a great fit. It is a pleasure to sing! Danielle combines all elements of a professional musician's skill and experience with authenticity, kindness, humor, humility, playfulness, and encouragement. When she says her lessons are "judgment free," she really means it. Initially I was afraid to sing in front of another person, and especially a singer as skilled as Danielle. It requires tremendous courage to sing in front of others. After the first session, though, I noticed that I felt so relaxed and relieved in my body afterward. That happens every time, like the lesson is a nervous system reset. If I come in jangled and heavy, I walk out joyful and light. What I didn't expect when I started is that the deeper gains that go with singing lessons--vulnerability, courage, creativity, and self-awareness, to name just some--are creeping out into the rest of my life. I am trusting my judgement more in my other creative pursuits, and seem to be finding my voice across a wide range of areas. There is something about this work that lets us access our spirit and express it. It's a profound and remarkable thing, and I had no idea my whole life would benefit from working with Danielle. HIGHLY recommended!

Breakthrough Moments From the Very First Lessons…read more I can't recommend Danielle LoPresti enough as a singing teacher. She is amazing--supportive, patient, and incredibly kind. Almost immediately after I started taking lessons with her, she helped me break through obstacles that I had struggled with my whole life. What I appreciate most is her holistic approach to singing. For me, it's about expression, not perfection, and Danielle truly understands that. She creates a safe environment where I never feel judged or rushed, which makes it much easier to explore my voice and grow with confidence. Another thing that makes her classes special is the community she has built among her students. She organizes opportunities for us to meet and perform, which is incredibly valuable. Watching and learning from others is inspiring, and it also reminds us that many of us share the same challenges--stage fright, nervousness, and sometimes the pressure of perfectionism. If you're looking for a supportive teacher who truly helps you grow as a singer and as a performer, Danielle is fantastic.

Beyond being an amazing vocal coach, she is a beyond fabulous human being with a passionate, and creative soul.

It was not for the entertainment of others. I am an Executive Assistant and my role can be stressful. Turns out executive work is incredibly stressful. Executives work around the clock. I decided to do something for myself so I signed up with Songbird. I didn't anticipate my voice would improve so much. I have gone from people grimacing when I sing to people stopping what they are doing to listen in. I have developed the confidence to sing in open mikes in bars. I sing in front of friends. My voice has completely transformed. Songbird studios is one of the best investments I have made. No matter how stressful my week is, I can count on my weekly lesson. It gives me a sense of peace and stability. The coaches are incredibly dedicated and empathetic. Singing is vulnerable and they create a safe space to learn. I truly recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve their voice and have a good place to go every week.

Masha brought so much experience to our lessons. She could always explain technique in an approachable way and really helped shaped my solo. She gave me the confidence I needed to sing in front of the judge's panel. Ultimately, I nailed my audition and began singing with Chorus. I stopped taking lessons with them and rejoined this year in preparation for a solo audition. I currently take lessons with Gary Brintz. Gary has become a huge mentor. The work I did with him helped me earn the opportunity to solo for SF GMC at Davies Symphony Hall with the SF Symphony. I sang "Rocket Man" by Sir Elton John to an audience of about 2700 people. He believed in my voice when I didn't. He helped me expand my range to hit the notes I needed for my performance. It was one of the most epic nights of my life and I simply could not have done with it without Gary's support and guidance. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Take lessons at Songbird Studios!

As a process-oriented teacher, Corey has focused my attention on a single new technique at a time, reinforcing the concept until my mind and body have accepted it as habit. The work has never felt overwhelming, and the dialogue we've fostered allows us to recall former lessons quickly, without the need to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. If the art of singing matters as much to you as it does to me, you'll probably agree that it inspires all sorts of human emotion as we struggle to master its complexity. I have cried, raged and laughed uncontrollably in front of my teacher; through it all Corey has comported himself with professionalism and compassion, creating a safe space for me to live through my experiences, experiences that have served to make me a more confident, balanced performer. More than anything else, I appreciate Corey's honesty. While always supportive, he has never given me false compliments. So when he looked at me one lesson, after singing through Lonely House, and said, "If you were auditioning for a job, and sang like that, you would have it", I absolutely believed him. I highly recommend Corey to anyone seeking to improve his or her vocal technique, be it for personal pleasure or professional ambition.

I cannot recommend Robert enough! He is an absolutely amazing singing teacher who has helped me…read moreimprove my singing skills in ways I never thought possible. With his help, I was able to hit notes that I thought I'd never be able to reach. Robert is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about singing, and his science-based teaching approach is truly impressive. He doesn't just teach you how to sing, he helps you understand the science behind it. This has allowed me to have a better understanding of how my voice works and how to improve it effectively. I always thought that either you were born with singing great or not, but he has shown that much like a physical workout for your muscles, the voice works in similar ways - you CAN be a better singer. He has a unique ability to identify exactly what you need to work on and provide clear, concise instructions on how to improve. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced singer, Robert will work with you to help you achieve your singing goals. Not only is Robert an excellent singing teacher, but he is also a wonderful person who genuinely cares about his students. He creates a supportive and encouraging environment that makes you feel comfortable and confident, even if you're nervous about singing in front of others. Robert is the best singing teacher I've worked with - and trust me, I've even worked with other teachers who have performed in Carnegie Hall. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone who is looking to improve their singing skills. He is a talented and caring teacher who has helped me achieve my goals, and his science-based teaching approach sets him apart from other singing teachers. He also has many different methods of learning available - private lessons, group lessons via The Vocal Gym, his online Learn Vocal Harmony channel on YouTube, and Instagram and Tiktok as rleevoice. I started off with a free trial of The Vocal Gym and loved it! I'm now a full time member and also regularly follow his tips and lesson on his social media channels.

His passion is in helping vocalists go from zero to one, so if you're at all nervous about getting started - he's your guy! I had never taken lessons before meeting Robert and was actually inspired to start studying with him because my son Ben was working with him and I was jealous! It was a privilege to watch Robert teach Ben for a few months before I started working with him directly. For me, I had been studying music for many many years - piano, guitar, and some singing in theater. Robert opened up a new world of capability and confidence in singing that I've never had before. His gentle approach and very capable singing tactics have helped me realize that singing can as joyful as I'd like it to be - I feel comfortable singing around anyone and also continuing to work on my singing as a life practice. Singing work is body work, so be prepared to consider your whole body and breath and understand the connection between those and your voice. Robert showed me there is so much to learn about the body and singing...and it has been transformational. I've recommended Robert to many friends for voice lessons - if you have the opportunity to work with Robert, go for it!
