Voice Studio

Whether you or your child are trying to sculpt a more rounded vocal sound, land a role/preparing for auditions, hoping to get into that select choir, wanting to learn healthy technique as a young singer, applying to music conservatories, shaping a new role, or simply wanting better pitch and tone, I’m here to help you grow with joy and intention. I’ve trained in classical, musical theatre, jazz, and pop techniques, and I teach with a mix of real discipline and real fun. Lessons are available in-person in NYC or online from anywhere. Together we’ll shape your voice into the most confident, expressive, gorgeously and handsomely YOU it can be.

Here is my philosophy: Every artist is uniquely different. My approach is to help each singer understand how their voice works, explore the mechanics of the sounds they can make, guide you to a rounded beautfiul tone, and learn the subtle adjustments that let you shape your tone intentionally. My job is to guide you toward knowing your instrument so deeply that you get to decide the artist you want to be and create those sounds with freedom, confidence, and ease.
