She also is able to assess where exactly I am vocally, so that she doesn't push me too hard and get me frustrated and she doesn't leave me bored because the material is not challenging enough. She accesses that sweet spot. Her voice is incredible and it is a joy to get to listen to her sing, which she will do sometimes if I ask. I love also going out to see her in her public performances. She has brought me from not being able to sing at all to being a lot more confident and able to carry a tune. And I even noticed changes in my speaking voice. I'm going to continue with Anna for a long time. I can't wait to see where she can take my voice in the future!

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

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.

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!

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!

At Westlake School for the Performing Arts (WSPA), my child has trained in ballet, hip hop, and Polynesian dance, and the experience across all three disciplines has been nothing short of transformative. WSPA doesn't just teach steps; they instill an authentic appreciation for the history, discipline, and soul of each distinct dance form. The Foundation of Classical Ballet The ballet program at WSPA is exceptional. The instructors approach the Vaganova method with a level of rigor you'd expect from a professional academy, focusing intently on posture, core strength, and precision. As a mother, what I appreciate most is how they balance high technical expectations with incredible emotional support. My child didn't just learn how to execute a clean turn; they developed the resilience and poise that come from master-level classical training. The Rhythm and Energy of Hip Hop Switching gears from the structure of ballet to the raw energy of hip hop could have been jarring, but WSPA's faculty makes the transition seamless. The hip hop classes are high-octane, culturally grounded, and beautifully current. The choreography is complex and pushes my child's musicality, helping them find their own performance style and groove. It has given them immense confidence, a sharp sense of rhythm, and an outlet for pure, uninhibited self-expression. The Soul and Heritage of Polynesian Dance What truly sets WSPA apart for our family is its stunning Polynesian dance program. It is handled with deep cultural reverence and authenticity, teaching the rich storytelling traditions of the islands alongside the physical technique. Watching my child learn the language of the movements--the grace of the hands, the stamina required for the drumming, and the joy of the community--has been deeply moving. It added a layer of storytelling and soulful connection to their dancing that technique alone could never provide. Why WSPA is a Second Home WSPA manages to be a powerhouse studio without losing its heart. By exposing my child to classical European tradition, modern street dance, and rich cultural heritage all under one roof, they have shaped a versatile, open-minded dancer. The time commitment is intense, and the expectations are high, but the payoff is a child who walks out of the studio with their chin up, completely proud of what their mind and body can achieve.
