Introduction: Professional voice lessons offered by dramatic tenor, Thomas Clark, Estill Voice Certified Master Voice Teacher with over 40 years of singing and teaching experience. Estill Voice is a scientific, anatomy-based voice model with exercises targeting every structure involved in singing. We will practice them. My personal perspective comes from my vast experience of singing major roles on stage and from my extensive work with my great teacher, Peter Gregg, personal coach and accompanist to the great Italian dramatic tenor, Mario del Monaco. Showing how coordinating anatomical structures contribute to singing, I specialize in a unique approach of Resonance Shaping to shape phrases by coordinating and alternating contractions on the pharyngeal wall, based on changing contractions of resonation location to shape the phrase. The resonance will change from mouthy resonance to pharyngeal resonance which produces sustaining resonance, the very identification of a professional sound. Most singers intuitively try to sing with mouthy resonance but I show why that is less efficient and worse sounding than professional pharyngeal resonance creating sustaining resonance. This resonance identification for phrase shaping, and hence vocal technique shaping is often a compete revelation, even to professional singers. It forms the basis of my singing and teaching for my students who transform almost immediately to a professional sound. My voice lessons are now via Skype and I charge $80 per hour lesson.

Thomas is an experienced and generous teacher. At our first lesson, he not only taught us new ways to think about how to sing but also exercises that we could practice at home to build our vocal abilities. He is patient and a great listener which was immensely helpful for beginner singers like us. We would recommend him for any students who have a background in musical instruments and are looking to find and develop their voices.

I am a semi-professional vocalist with many years of experience. I sing Blues and Jazz. Tom is wonderful teacher who is taking my vocal ability to a new level. I am learning things about my own voice that I did not know before while having loads of fun at the same time. I had not had any experience with The Estill method before but it is exactly what I need to get to that next level with my voice and range. I am hitting notes I could not hit two months ago. Tom is a vocal scientist who is well versed in all genres of music including jazz, pop and musical theater. I am very impressed with his teaching and I plan to continue studying with him indefinitely.

I have studied with Tom for the past 2 years, and he has not only given me back my voice that I feared I'd lost; he has led me to use my voice in ways I never thought possible. He is a amazing teacher, and I recommend him highly.
