About
You can fundamentally expand range, ease, tone, expression, sense of yourself! I LOVE making it easier for others to find their voice! I teach excellent vocal technique for a variety of styles to songwriters, teens (13 +), people who just want to grow, and active performers. Lessons are on Zoom or live in Greenwood, Seattle. Lessons 55-60 min. $65. 45 min. $50. Schedule Sun-Wed. Reach out through Thumbtack after viewing rouge music teaching page to see if my joyous, silly, and kinesthetic style of teaching is right for you! I use elements of Feldenkrais, Bel Canto, creative theory, and Shakespearean training. (Just know, with my current performance schedule, I will only be adding 3-5 students to my studio this year.) "Janet is the best voice teacher I've ever worked with. Seriously." - Lori Bellamy with The Drunken Maidens " I am so excited to finally begin to RE-FIND MY VOICE!!! This is so good!!! I love your energy and how you "get me". I have worked with other teachers that just wanted to change me to fit into their mold of what they thought I should be. Thanks for helping me shine! You are so much fun to work with." Bonnie Sandberg “Janet’s not just a great voice teacher, she’s a great teacher period. Her instruction is specific, articulate and customized for your unique vocal instrument. She will make your sound a lot more interesting — even to sober people!” - Roo Forrest, song-writer, MC, performer "Janet is a phenomenal voice teacher. Dynamic, enthusiastic, and personable, she understands how to use the body to get the biggest and most authentic voice. Minor adjustments make major differences, and she personalizes lessons to help students grow at their own pace through clear and creative coaching. I have grown exponentially since I started taking lessons. My voice no longer seems like a guessing game (will it be good tonight or shaky?). And Janet has taught me how to be convinced of the words I am singing." - Jaspar Lepak, touring singer-songwriter

Fantastic experience working with Janet. My 13-year-old daughter is the student. She's never had a singing lesson and no one would call her a natural and she lacked confidence she needed to put herself out there for auditions. After just her first lesson with Janet she had a sense of confidence about her voice that I had never seen in her. Janet asked me to come to pick up my daughter a few minutes early just so that I would have a chance to see how she did. With Janet's accompaniment on the piano, she started singing the song she was working toward auditioning with. Ok... I admit I can be an emotional guy about my daughters, but I was crying after her first verse. In just two more lessons, she called me excitedly while I was traveling to tell me that she "had a break through". I don't know what else I need to love Janet as a teacher for my daughter.

Janet is an excellent teacher. In just two months she taught me from being an absolute beginner in singing to being confident in singing and projecting my voice. Her attention to details and experience in teaching allowed me to make great progress after every lesson

Janet is extremely professional and warm. Voice lessons can be very personal, and Janet achieves the balance between guidance and connecting with you as a person and a musician. I had been singing for about ten years when I worked with her, and was looking to improve on my technique, so finding a voice teacher who could teach adults with experience was imperative to me. I enjoyed my lessons with her and continue to use several of the warm-ups and vocal drills that I learned while working with her.

Janet is such a professional vocal coach that she always teaches students in accordance of their aptitudes. She has so many ways of exercising that helps you find your voice. And she is really easygoing and warm-hearted. I love having class with her. Just after several classes, I start to feel like I am getting back to the right track. I'll continue the class with her and I highly recommend those who have unhealthy singing techniques, disconnected voices and bad habits to have Janet as your vocal coach!

We have been working with Ms. Rayor for almost a year and my daughter has really improved on her vocal technique. She uses fun but effective exercises and is always wonderful and positive to work with. My daughter loves Ms. Rayor, we highly recommend her. Kathryn S.
