I'm so lucky to have found Deborah! She's so knowledgeable and diligent about training the voice,…read moreof course, but what sets her apart from other teachers is that she is also exceedingly warm and kind. In just a couple classes, she helped me transform my fear of singing into an absolute joy. Now I sing all the time with my partner, or by myself just walking down the street, and it's brought so much happiness into my life. Thank you, Deborah!

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now. Words cannot express how excellent of a…read moresinging/vocal coach Deborah is. In my mind, my experience with my voice is very palpable under her guidance. She knows I struggle to use my voice, so here it goes bec I finally dare to share my gratitude. Deborah is a kind and compassionate coach who understood my reluctance to sing and speak in public due to my subconscious fears now realized. She found a way to meet my voice where it was and gently yet patiently allowed me to explore it in a safe environment. I no longer believe my voice is a separate part of my body; instead, I feel it through my whole body, mind, AND spirit. And I don't think that my lessons with her are work - only fun. And as an adult, it seems I have lost my sense of play. However, my lessons with Deborah always remind me that it's time to play!

Justin started working with my 10 year old daughter virtually during the covid lockdown. She had a…read morevoice coach in the past and thought she knew what she was getting. To her surprise (and mine) Justin was very different from her previous coach, his lessons are focused around breathing. She has learned that singing is all about breathing. At first I just heard these weird breathing and strange noises coming from her during her lessons, there was no actually "singing". With time these strange sounds have taught her how to breath while singing, how to control her voice and project it without just being loud and shouting. We have noticed a remarkable difference. Since starting with Justin in Monterey we have moved to Southern California, she loved his lessons so much we decided to continue working with him virtually instead of finding someone local. We would nightly recommend Justin if your trying to bring your voice to the next level.

He does a great job explaining things in a way that's easy to understand, even getting into the anatomy of how the voice works, which I found really helpful. I had to miss a few sessions because of work, but Sarah and Emanuel was always great about helping me schedule makeup sessions and was very responsive whenever I had questions. Overall, I've had a great experience and would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking to improve their singing in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Angela is very thoughtful and kind in her approach and helps the student feel comfortable throughout the lesson. I had seen Angela in the past and after taking a break and trying to work with a different vocal coach I knew I wanted to go back to Angela. We started up as if no time had passed. She's helping me be the best singer I can be and that has helped me in my career as well. I'm so thankful to have come across Angela way back and I won't be going to anyone else!

I would highly recommend taking lessons at Kat Parra Voice Studio…read more I've had a great experience working with Kat the past 2 years. She really knows her stuff and is always learning more! I have found that the longer I've worked with her, the more she learns about my voice and teaches me how to get the most out of it in a healthy way. Prior to taking lessons, my voice would always feel hoarse from improper singing technique. Now it feels stronger and healthier than it's ever been. Kat also does a great job of making her students feel comfortable when practicing/performing. Not easy to do, especially for singing! Her dog Fiona is also a great buddy to have for lessons :) My only complaint is that because I've improved so much under Kat, my family makes me sing for them as much as possible! Sometimes I need a break!
