Topher Keene Studio | Acting, Speaking, Singing

Introduction: Hi! I'm Topher Keene and I'm a high-level Vocal Coach training Singers, Actors, and Public Speakers to improve their performance skills. I work with all ages and ability levels, from Amateurs to Professionals. I'm a Quarter-Finalist for the Grammy Award for Educator of the Year, I've been featured on MTV, and I was a Soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. My mission is to help my students to develop their unique talents and achieve their goals as performers. I'd love to meet you for a Free First Lesson to see if my studio would be the perfect fit for you! My students include professional Actors working in Film/TV/Commercials/Voiceover/Animation/Video-Games. I’ve worked with stars of Nickelodeon shows and other network series. My singing students include professional touring musicians making a full time income from their music. Several of my students have highly successful and profitable YouTube channels and podcasts. I also work with CEOs of multi-million dollar companies and other business professionals to improve their public speaking and performance skills. I frequently work with total beginners and many of my “beginner” students have gone on to build full careers in the Music and Acting industry. Many of my students don’t want to pursue a career in the arts and merely take lessons as a fun hobby, and I love working with those students as well. I enjoy working with singers and actors of all ages and ability levels. I've worked with dozens of "tone deaf" students to help them develop their ability to sing, and frequently train teachers in working with singers who struggle. On the other hand, I have many professional students who are regularly touring, performing and recording their music. I also offer Acting Coaching. My students focus on developing stage presence, learning short monologues and scenes, building audition skills, and developing their vocal/facial/physical expression. Some of my students are complete beginners, and some are professional actors with large social media followings, paid acting roles, and experience on stage and on camera. I always focus on enjoyment in the lesson, as the best learning happens when we're having fun. I also work hard to build confidence and stage presence. I prioritize proper vocal health to avoid voice damage for my students. My Public Speaking Coaching combines the best of insights from Singing and Acting lessons to help you unlock the power of your speaking voice. I can help you with Job Interviews, School Presentations, and even major Public Keynote Speeches, or just in improving your daily conversational speaking skills. Singing is one of the most vulnerable things a human can do. Learning to sing confidently makes someone feel much better about themselves and can dramatically improve self-esteem. I love seeing the smile on a singer's face when something 'clicks' and they hear their voice in a new way. When my Acting students connect deeply with a character/role and feel themselves reaching a new level of skill through our work together it's very rewarding. Many of my students have landed their first lead roles after our work together, and seeing a student I've coached go on to a starring role on stage is always a thrilling experience. All the work I do is done through the lens of a LifeCoach/Mentor. I focus on habit formation, overcoming anxiety, and developing self-confidence in every subject I teach. My students come out of a coaching session feeling more in control and less stressed about the challenge of our work together.
