"Mixing has always been my achilles heel, but after a few lessons with Emily, I feel like my mix has gone from a studio apartment to a roomy two bedroom! I have studied with many teachers over the years, but none have taught mixed voice as well as Emily. Her fun way of illuminating concepts has made me confident to work on material I had formerly written off. Plus, she's helped me nail Broadway auditions! If you're looking to expand your vocal horizons, book a lesson today!"

"Working with Emily has been such a gift in enhancing my skills as a performer. She has helped me sing songs I didn't think I could sing, and hit notes I never thought I could hit. Emily has also taught me about bringing myself to every song I sing, which has helped me nail countless auditions! I am forever grateful for her!"

“I want everyone to experience one of Emily's masterclasses! I took my first class as an observer and gained new tools, tips and tricks that I was able to apply to my voice on my own. Then I came back another time as a singer! I was extremely nervous but was met with an abundance of support and encouragement. Emily has a beautiful way of communicating and bringing out the best in each individual's voice. Don’t hold yourself back from this incredible experience... Sign up now!”

praise for sharon

From my first lesson with Sharon, I was learning to stretch my vocal abilities, and build technique that is a foundational part of my career today. She guided me with warm-ups which taught me to recognize the varying daily conditions of my voice (high or low larynx, muscle tension, breathiness, etc), what I could do to “fix the problem,” get through uncharted material, and practice on my own. Sharon’s incredible knowledge of the science and anatomy of the voice made classes efficient and productive, and I felt empowered as a student to be in touch with my instrument. A significant part of my story is songwriting, and Sharon was the first person to help cultivate this passion of mine. I brought my original songs to her every week to workshop, and it was through her that I learned what makes an exceptional song. It meant so much to have a teacher so willing and excited to explore any and all musical territory I was interested in.

praise for Dan

“Dan is great at catering to whatever needs I have on whatever given day we meet. He understands the voice is a muscle, and therefore helps me condition it on my good and bad days. I had vocal nodes removed a few years ago, and Dan was a great choice to help me find my new, healthier voice. From classical to musical theatre and riffing, the guy knows his stuff!”

praise for Q lim

"I have taken lessons from a number of voice teachers, some of who are famous and expensive with waiting lists of several months, but I think Q is the best of them all. I had a problem with my high notes and my voice didn't have enough stamina to last, but after taking lessons with Q, I have improved so much. I wish I had found her earlier, because I have changed so dramatically in just three months!"

praise for jenn

"I started working with Jenn because I was ready to finally master my mix belt. I was in final callbacks for SIX after years of going in, and wanted to make sure I was doing everything I could to put my best foot forward. Jenn gave me the tools to tap into a healthy mix belt through working on that material (especially K Howard), and I went into the room confidence and equipped for success. And I booked the job! I'm currently on tour with SIX as an Alternate, feeling stronger than ever!

Thank you, Jenn! I couldn't have done it without you."

praise for emily Fink

"Working with Emily is a dream come true! For years I've been through different voice teachers, struggling to understand the mechanics of belting/ mix-belting without throwing out my voice. Everything clicked instantly in my first lesson with her. It is the perfect collaborative environment. My needs are acknowledged and cared for while she pushes and challenges me to my full potential. She gives you the tools to be confident with your best authentic voice!"

praise for Karl

"I wish I had found Karl years ago! I've been searching for the right vocal coach for a long time, and immediately felt like Karl checked all the boxes. In just a few lessons, I was singing notes I never thought I could sing. He creates a comfortable, zero-judgement environment that gives me the freedom to grow. His knowledge of the voice, combined with his enthusiastic personality makes for an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their singing!"

praise for gabriella

Working with Gabriella, I felt at ease and excited from the very first session we had. With her friendly and attentive teaching style, she creates a safe space for her students to explore and grow as singers. I have really appreciated her flexibility and support, especially when I was preparing for a show - with Gabriella’s guidance and expertise my performance improved a lot and I felt more confident going on stage. I am thrilled to keep working with her in the future!

praise for maurice

“It's a great pleasure to work with Maurice. He is the most patient, caring, and encouraging SLP I have ever worked with. As an SLP, his techniques are highly effective; under his care, I'm not only able to sing with my current condition, but also have gained considerable improvement in my singing technique."

praise for gabi

“I was so relieved to have Gabi as my voice therapist. Not only was she knowledgeable, but from my very first visit she made me feel relaxed, confident, and in good hands. Something that’s so important when working through the physical and emotional parts of vocal nodules. Anyone would be lucky to work with her.”

Katie possesses immense nuance, joy and care for the soul of the actor. Working with her is a grounding and affirming experience. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about sharing her ideas in a way that makes sense for each individual actor. The notes she give are always repeatable in an audition setting.

PRAISE for the singing series

Emily has created a super accessible course that demystifies a lot of things about singing and vocal anatomy, and she's also giving you vocal exercises to help you with mixing, belting, musical theatre, pop and rock, and more!"
