Introduction

I have been trained to teach singers, actors, and public speakers and have been a Voice Teacher, Vocologist, and Acting Coach for over 25 years. I specialize in teen and adult voices from beginner to professional. I teach CCM, musical theatre, pop/rock, and classical/opera styles. My students have been on competitive national voice shows, record labels, and accepted to top schools in the country, including NYU, Berklee, Indiana, Boston, Westminster, and more. Areas of Expertise: Singing, Voice Training, Vocal Coaching, Audition Preparation, Repertoire Selection, Acting, Stage Presence, Performance Technique, Projection, Accent Reduction, Vocal Health, and Recording. I am known for my technical skills and am good at identifying and correcting vocal flaws quickly. My teaching centers on singing, performing, and acting as one unified discipline. Since I filter traditional and current methods from Bel Canto to speech level through the lens of modern voice and performance science, my students progress rapidly. For those on a classical or operatic path, I work in English, Italian, German, French, Latin, and Spanish. With my individualized exercises, you will achieve your best in your chosen vocal style, from rock to opera. Every day and every student is different!

Wow where do I start? I had been singing for many years before I started working with Kathy and didnt realize how little I really knew about singing. Kathy helped me through a vocal injury, and as I continued to work with her, I learned how to sing correctly, how to use my voice effectively, and how to perform each song with emotion. Both my daughter and I took lessons from Kathy, sometimes live and sometimes via Skype, and both formats work really well. Kathy is incredibly knowledgeable and effective, but most of all working with her is FUN.each of our sessions together was filled with laughter. I have recommended Kathy to many people and I would say if you really want to learn to sing, improve your voice, and have a great time, get in touch with Kathy.time spent with her is well worth it!!

Singing is like playing a sport. Except that all the muscles and technique occur inside the body, out of sight. Kathy has an incredibly attuned ear to listen for exactly what is happening inside your body while you sing, whether you're in her studio or dialing in remotely over Skype. What's more, she seems to have a limitless supply of exercises and tricks to coax the correct technique out of you. Her instructions can connects the sounds in your mind to the feeling of your body creating those sounds for real. I had been trying to figure things out on my own for years and years, practicing with brute force, listening to and imitating my favorite songs, and finding tips or lessons online and anywhere else. With just a handful of lessons, Kathy had me singing with more power, accuracy, and with greater endurance than I thought possible. She endowed me with a toolkit to craft exactly the sound I wanted out of my voice, expanded my vocal range, and even provided practical tips and tricks to surviving a performance, both physical and mental. I should probably add that I lean towards harder rock and roll with an edge in the vocals, and everything Kathy taught only made that easier to achieve. I can't say enough good things about Golden Voice lessons!

We learned of Kathy thru referral by the parent of another client. My daughter couldn't be more pleased. There was quick and noticeable improvement in the caliber of her performances, and that growth has continued over the past two years. Kathy was flexible in tailoring her instruction to Natalie's specific goals, and ultimately has become a confidant and advisor with respect to how to approach and prepare for specific auditions. Moreover, Kathy is at the forefront of some pretty exciting teaching methods. All in all, we couldn't be more happy, or more thankful to the acquaintance who referred us to this wonderful teacher.
