Online Voice Lessons Grounded in Whole-Body Technique

Vocal coaching personalized for YOU

Have you ever found yourself thinking, I don’t know why my voice is doing this…what’s wrong with me?

 

It feels like your voice is going to crack, cut off, or shut down right when it matters most.

 

Even though you sing a lot – you warm up first and work on breath support and everything! – your voice still isn’t where you want it to be. You can’t rely on it.

 

You’re not the problem, but treating your vocal technique like a checklist is.

If you’re exhausted from working hard to control your voice, take heart! Your voice is amazing and unique, and it deserves reliable technique that lets you do your most joyful singing.

Singing technique that YOU feel good about is built over time from:

​Mindset

Body awareness

Vocal coordination

Nervous system work

Expression & storytelling

At SDVS, we train the whole artist, centering YOU as the expressive instrument.

 

And we have, dare I say, a whole lot of fun while doing it!!

“I struggled with confidence in my singing, especially high notes, auditions, and singing in front of others. Working with Susan helped me be able to trust myself and my abilities. Susan’s methods bring her students real progress. There’s a place for everyone at her studio, whether you’re very confident or have never sung before.” ~Ella (teen student)

What to expect during your singing lessons

1-on-1 lessons are 45 minutes and take place online weekly or bi-weekly. 

 

Every session is customized, but you can expect:

  • Gentle movement to build self-awareness

  • Breath work to unlock ease and power in your voice

  • Technical exercises to build skills in support of your vocal goals

  • Time spent on songs you care about, building technique & expression

  • Guided self-reflection – what’s working, and where do you want to grow


We teach the body, not just the mind, which means play, exploration, and expression are at the heart of every lesson.

​

You'll also enjoy ongoing support, including:

  • Audio, video, and print resources

  • Supportive performance opportunities

  • Personalized goal-setting & practice plans

“It was the best decision to work with Susan. Her flexible and holistic approach makes all the difference. My voice is much stronger now, I have a wider vocal range, and I sing with more interpretation than ever. I love having a variety of techniques to choose from. I sing all the time now – my creativity is UNLEASHED!” ~Cynthia (adult student)

1. Discovery Call

Let’s begin! During this FREE 20-minute session, we’ll thoroughly answer all your questions, get to know one another, and decide if we both want to move forward with the Discovery Package. Calls take place over Zoom.

2. Discovery Package

This is a paid 4-lesson package where you’ll get a feel for what it’s like to be in the studio! You can expect to explore your voice, develop your creativity, and learn new skills and songs in a warm, supportive environment that encourages authenticity & expression.

3. Join the Studio

If we both decide after the last Discovery Package lesson that we're a good fit, we’ll discuss which longer term lesson option is best for you. Then I'll email you with a booking link where you can schedule and reserve your time with your payment. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

“Susan is a teacher and mentor that your child can truly connect with in a special way. She will not only teach your child the technical skills to sing better, but will lift them up in a way to help them find joy and confidence in being themselves.” ~Annie (parent)

Whole-body singing is the backbone of my approach at SDVS.

This is how you move from an intellectual understanding of "proper vocal technique" to an embodied understanding of the singing technique that works for YOU.

Your voice deserves it.

“I love that Susan focuses on singing as a whole-body activity. She makes learning about singing feel exciting, and she keeps me motivated to stay curious while exploring my voice. Before working with Susan, I hadn’t sung in front of an audience in three years. Working with Susan gave me the confidence I needed to truly enjoy singing in front of others again.” ~Erin (adult student)

“I’ve been amazed at how much I’ve improved as a singer. I can actually stand up with my guitar and sing with confidence now! I’ve progressed from music lover to music maker, and I feel a tremendous sense of liberation." ~Bob (adult student)
