My 11-year-old daughter is very passionate about singing and the guitar. This is all fine and…read morewell, but she has already surpassed my singing abilities and while I played the flute, piano, and percussion, I know absolutely nothing about the guitar. It was time for professional help. I came across Voicemaster, saw the bits about the law of attraction and immediately knew it was the studio I wanted for Rain. It looked like a place that would believe in her unlimited potential. It looked like a place that would NOT be the strict conventional musical training I grew up with. And I was right! Two months in and Rain's voice and guitar playing have transformed. Junior is SUCH a gifted musician but also an immensely gifted teacher who knows exactly what an individual student needs and precisely how to deliver it. He is not only expanding Rain's guitar skills like crazy with his unique approach to guitar mastery, but has helped her become a more confident singer, performer, and human being. Rain has a tendency to be very hard on herself, and he has taught her to embrace challenges, that failing is an essential element on the path to success, and to RELAX and have fun. Junior's training is downright miraculous and we are so fortunate to have him in our lives. If you want to improve your singing or playing abilities, or are a parent looking for someone who will expand your child's musical skills in an amazingly positive and effective way, Junior is your man! Since Covid-19 Shelter-In-Place has been instituted Junior transitioned my daughter to Facetime lessons and continues to deliver his incredible teaching, not a beat missed! I am so excited for Rain's continued journey. She has dreams of Broadway and performance and songwriting and I know she is well on her way. Thank you Junior!

I signed up my daughter for voice lessons because she was introverted, a bit anxious, and had…read moreexpressed wanting to try singing lessons. 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!

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!

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)!

I came into voice lessons as a complete beginner--and, being a little older, with more than a…read morelittle trepidation. Learning to sing is something I've always wanted to do, but I honestly wasn't sure if I could. I've now had only about 17.5 hours of lessons with Cat, and the difference is already remarkable. I've gone from feeling like I couldn't sing at all to singing in ways I genuinely never thought I was capable of. I know I'm still at the very beginning of this journey, but the progress I can already hear and feel has me incredibly excited about where it might lead. What really sets Cat apart is how genuinely passionate she is about teaching. You never feel like you're simply another student going through a predetermined series of exercises. She cares about whether you understand what you're doing and, more importantly, whether you're actually learning how to use your voice. There are absolutely moments when learning to sing can feel daunting, especially as a beginner. But Cat has a wonderful ability to make the process far less intimidating. If she sees that I'm struggling to understand something one way, she doesn't just keep repeating the same explanation--she pivots. She finds another approach, another explanation, or another exercise until suddenly something that seemed impossible starts to make sense. She is incredibly patient, encouraging, and invested in my progress. There is a genuine sense that she cares about helping me become the singer I want to become, however long that journey takes. I'm incredibly happy that I chose Cat to be my vocal coach. I still have a long way to go, but for the first time, learning to sing doesn't feel like something I've always wished I could do. It feels like something I'm actually doing. I truly cannot recommend Cat highly enough.

Gary deserves 10 stars!!…read more This review is long overdue. I was recommended by a friend to see Gary and my voice has improved tremendously since. I first came to Sen Music Studios for talent training for the Miss Chinatown pageant. I've never seen a singing coach and Gary was very accommodating and helped me develop my style and brought confidence to my voice when singing. He is a musical wizard and has some of the best equipment I've seen. Long story short, I trained and developed my voice with Gary for approximately 3-4 months and received the title of Miss Hawaii Chinese Princess in 2014. In case you were wondering, I sang Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon." I've also seen him for two other competitions afterwards. Prior to seeing Gary, I had extreme stage fright and my vocal chords always froze up in front of an audience. If you are looking for a professional to help you improve your voice, I recommend you give him a call. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!!
