Who Do I Work Best With?*

My favorite singers come to me with problems, and it’s my job to help solve them. 

Maybe you want to belt higher or strengthen your head voice. You might want to explore your mix or increase your upper range. Or maybe you don’t know what any of that means, but you know that some notes feel easy and others don’t. You want to sing louder or softer. You think your voice is too breathy, or you run out of air too quickly. You suspect that allergies are limiting you. Maybe you’re afraid that you’re singing wrong and could damage your voice. 

You’ve sung enough to know that your voice can be better, but you’re not sure how to get yourself there. Maybe you’ve had voice lessons before. Maybe you’ve been watching YouTube videos or TikToks. Or maybe you like discussing vocal technique with your friends, but they don’t know much more than you do. 

You’re open to feedback. You’re willing to work. And I’m here to help.

How Do I Know How to Help?

Before I became a voice teacher, I was a singer with voice problems. 

I lost two octaves off the top of my range after an illness. My voice felt breathy and difficult to control, and my neck hurt when I sang. I sought help from multiple voice teachers, doctors, and speech therapists, but no one could explain what had happened or how to fix it. 

Almost 10 years later, I finally found a teacher who rehabilitated injured singing voices. The laryngologist she referred me to diagnosed me with vocal fold paresis. It’s a discouraging diagnosis for a singer as there is no cure. But it has made me a strong teacher because it requires me to be incredibly conscious of the technicalities of singing. Regaining my own voice was the perfect training for this work of teaching others.
