About
Hello there! I'm Suzanne :) Everyone can sing. What often holds us back isn’t ability, it’s tension, self-doubt, and internal narratives that disconnect us from our authentic voice. After over 10 years of teaching singers from all walks of life, I’ve found that vocal blocks are often deeply linked to how we see ourselves. When those internal barriers are addressed, not only does the voice open but expression, confidence, and ease follow. This work is for singers and artists who want more than just “better technique”, they want to feel free, embodied, and fully expressed in their voice. What makes this different from a regular voice lesson? This is still real vocal training warm-ups, exercises, and working on songs. What’s different is the self-awareness woven into the work. We gently identify and release: - Habitual tension (physical or emotional) - Self-censorship and limiting beliefs - Patterns that keep the voice stuck or guarded This is often the missing piece that allows technique to finally land. My approach: - Exploration We get to know your voice, goals, and any patterns that may be holding you back. - Technique & Release Mindful warm-ups and vocal exercises build freedom, control, and confidence. - Self-Awareness We notice inner narratives and gently reframe or release what no longer serves your voice. Breakthroughs big and small are supported and celebrated. About Suzanne Suzanne May is a professional voice instructor with over 10 years of experience, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts. She is also a singer-songwriter who actively performs, writes, and records music, applying the same embodied, holistic techniques she teaches. Through her own vocal journey, Suzanne discovered that lasting vocal growth happens when technique and self-awareness meet. She has guided many singers to greater freedom, confidence, and expression by honoring the voice as deeply connected to the whole person. If this resonates, I’d love to connect and see if this work is a good fit.

I'm a musician with no specific vocal training prior to working with Suzanne. I play other instruments and produce and write music, but singing has always been my weak spot and something I've been intimidated to dive into further. I've been meaning to take lessons for a long time, and I feel very lucky to have found such an excellent teacher in Suzanne. From the first lesson, Suzanne listened to the many things that I've been struggling with, and gave me excellent advice and exercises to improve on each of them. She's a great listener with a remarkable attention to detail. Singing is different from playing other instruments in that it's all happening inside your body, so it's important to be able to visualize and physically feel what you're doing when trying to produce a certain sound or emotion. Suzanne is so good at giving me different ways to imagine how something should feel, and how to slightly tweak them to get closer to the sound that I want. She provides so much useful feedback on the spot that I find myself going back to video recordings of our lessons to revisit her explanations. In the first few lessons, our goal was to make singing "feel good" before we start worrying about whether it sounds good. That focus on technique has led to massive improvements, and I'm surprised by how quickly I've seen a difference. She's familiar with lots of different styles - we've worked together on lots of R&B so far, as well as soft rock. In addition to working on technique, Suzanne has been getting me to explore my emotional range as a singer and lean into it more. Singing can make you feel quite vulnerable, and she's great at making me feel comfortable and giving positive reinforcement. We've recently started working on improving the vocals on some of my original music, and Suzanne has shown me ways to be more expressive and tap into different colors and emotions. I've seen huge improvements in just a handful of lessons, and am already feeling more confident with my voice. Most importantly singing has become less intimidating and more fun for me now that she's given me a foundation to build off of.

Suzanne is absolutely amazing! I honestly wasn’t sure I could sing, and with her training, it turns out I can! I grew exponentially in a short time. Sessions on zoom were great because I do could back and view myself/practice the skills during the week. She is very knowledgeable, skilled, and encouraging. I always looked forward to my lessons with her!:)

Suzanne is great! I not only learned more about my singing style, but was able to learn more about different techniques and tools I can use to continue to strengthen my voice. I've used her tools to practice on my own and look forward to taking more classes in the future.

My daughter loves her lessons with Suzanne. She used to be shy about singing, and now she sings opening all the time and has auditioned for 2 musicals and gotten parts in both of them at a local theatre. I highly recommend Suzanne as a voice coach.

She helped me so much with some of the issues I struggled within just one lesson. She is so sweet and never once made me feel uncomfortable. We laughed while she helped me grow. I will deff be rescheduling with her again very soon! Thanks so much Suzanna 🫶🏼
