About
No jargon, no judgements, just body-awareness training that you can understand and use to make your voice more powerful, versatile, and beautiful than you thought possible.
My specialty is unlocking the power, beauty, and expressiveness of your voice. It's all learnable based on healthy use of the body as your expressive instrument. I am a shy person who became an award-winning performer in theater and classical singing. I love to make this possible for others and will coach performance skills to prepare you for joyful, free, and successful performing.

Susan is a very rare combination of expertise and kindness. I've worked with her for many years, and she has improved both my range and the quality of my voice. She supports my goals and choices of songs, and is always, always encouraging. I can't imagine a better teacher!

Susan is very kind and knowledgeable. She took her time and explained things very well. She made my 14year old very comfortable and left them with some great tools for an up coming audition.

Susan is a great voice instructor. I have a pretty busy schedule and she is very accommodating for lesson times and regularity. She has a real passion for singing and voice lessons with her are quite enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Susan to anyone looking to improve their voice.
