After several sessions, I noticed that we weren't tackling specifically that, but many other aspects of how I talk, the words I use, why I say the things I say, among other things, that all indirectly were adding or affecting me in many other ways, but super related to my insecurities. Sam has helped me feel more confident with myself and with my inner voice (no pun intended). I have become more mindful of the words I use, in a natural way. I can't stress enough how much Sam has impacted me personally and professionally. So grateful to have met her!

I have worked with Leora, Addy, Meredith, and Alyssa…read more My whole life, I have been told I was a bad singer. I didn't care. I sang anyways. I sang because I loved to sing. It was not for the entertainment of others. I am an Executive Assistant and my role can be stressful. Turns out executive work is incredibly stressful. Executives work around the clock. I decided to do something for myself so I signed up with Songbird. I didn't anticipate my voice would improve so much. I have gone from people grimacing when I sing to people stopping what they are doing to listen in. I have developed the confidence to sing in open mikes in bars. I sing in front of friends. My voice has completely transformed. Songbird studios is one of the best investments I have made. No matter how stressful my week is, I can count on my weekly lesson. It gives me a sense of peace and stability. The coaches are incredibly dedicated and empathetic. Singing is vulnerable and they create a safe space to learn. I truly recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve their voice and have a good place to go every week.

I have worked with Songbird Studios a couple of times now. The first time I worked with them I was…read moreconnected with Masha to prepare for my audition for the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. Masha brought so much experience to our lessons. She could always explain technique in an approachable way and really helped shaped my solo. She gave me the confidence I needed to sing in front of the judge's panel. Ultimately, I nailed my audition and began singing with Chorus. I stopped taking lessons with them and rejoined this year in preparation for a solo audition. I currently take lessons with Gary Brintz. Gary has become a huge mentor. The work I did with him helped me earn the opportunity to solo for SF GMC at Davies Symphony Hall with the SF Symphony. I sang "Rocket Man" by Sir Elton John to an audience of about 2700 people. He believed in my voice when I didn't. He helped me expand my range to hit the notes I needed for my performance. It was one of the most epic nights of my life and I simply could not have done with it without Gary's support and guidance. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Take lessons at Songbird Studios!

Playing guitar is in my zone, but I am not a trained singer; hence, I started searching for singing coaches on the Internet. I found HEATHERVOX. She had a lot of positive reviews; hence, I scheduled a session with her; and, I am so happy I did. - She has a beautiful singing voice; and, she immediately assessed my singing competency baseline. - She immediately started me on vocal techniques that quickly controlled the movement of my neck, mouth, and vocal cords. Most importantly, she taught me the importance of relaxing the vocal cords throughout the octaves. - After 40 minutes of teaching proper singing techniques and using the techniques she taught me going up and down scales, it was time to apply the techniques to a song. - I sang, Here Comes The Sun, by the Beatles; and, I was amazed -- I immediately noticed the improvement in my singing -- now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't just "add boiling water and instant noodles" kind-of- thing, but it was a drastic and noticeable improvement in my singing voice. I still have a lot of work and practice to do. Now, I have more controlled volume, my voice is more robust, colorful, and dimensional, AND I am able to hit higher notes easier without strain. I was also amazed with the added tone quality Heather gave me through her singing techniques. Heather recorded my session; hence, I have a starting baseline of my singing voice. I can track my progress. I also have recordings of the techniques she taught me; so, I can replicate them while doing my homework. I have 6 months from today, 23-January-2025, to get my singing skills on-point; hence, I am 100% certain, working with Heather, will get me to my goal. I scheduled additional appointments with her, and she gave me homework and exercises to work on before my next session. I really enjoy the straw exercise -- extremely helpful. Finally, I like that Heather has good business ethics. She assessed my progress and gave me a class schedule that matched her forecast of my progress within the 6 months -- she didn't try to sell me more lessons than I needed. I'm very happy working with Heather to get me to my singing goals for this feature film. Check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino

Her technical explanations and the visual imagery she provides during warm-ups have been revelatory as well.

I will say, that I really appreciated his enthusiasm for singing and music in general and for providing a safe space for people to perform and talk in a comfortable and fun environment. There are lots of open mics, but not a lot of what CJ's doing, which is to facilitate discussion and allow the wisdom of a supportive group share how to help individuals to improve. I think the event has room to grow, but my 5-star review is mainly meant as an endorsement for him as a person, and for him creating such a unique way for people to come together at whatever their musical level is and be able to get over their fear in order to be themselves and be heard.
