Voice Teacher

Exciting, powerful singing feels easy when you have the proper technique. Whether you are belting on Broadway or floating high Cs in an opera house, I can help you unlock the ease and power of your full vocal potential.

A specialist in musical theater and the music of the Great American Songbook, I was also an opera singer for 15 years. If you are concerned about vocal strain and fatigue, the technique I teach will give you a solid foundation of healthy singing that will enable you to have a long career.

With a Masters Degree in Voice Performance and Pedagogy and a Bachelors in Voice Performance and Music Education, I have over 15 years of teaching experience, both in my private studio and at colleges and universities. My studio includes numerous performance opportunities, including my monthly From Studio to Stage classes, and a yearly recital.

While my studio is centered on singers who are actively working and auditioning, I also teach actors who want to add singing to their skill set, plus amateurs and novices of all ages. I love helping someone discover the joy of singing for the first time!

Testimonials

“Since I began studying with Natalie, my voice seems totally transformed: it feels freer, clearer, easier, and steadier. I even had a casting director compliment me how far I’d come since he’d seen me audition last year. Natalie has this fantastic balance between technique and heart as we work through exercises and music, helping me to find new acting moments through the notes. I am learning a powerful vocal foundation while also remaining competitive in auditions. She knows this business; she knows New York; and she has phenomenal training. Natalie also has a gift for knowing what images and ideas will connect the most with each student. She is a lovely, smart, kind teacher who will challenge you, inspire you and support you. It would be impossible to recommend her more wholeheartedly.”
- Hanley Smith, Singer/Actress, NYC

“In my first lesson with Natalie, I went from being confused and frustrated with my voice, to feeling excited and confident about what I could accomplish with her expert guidance. She has helped me rediscover my love for singing, and is transforming my scattered bits of knowledge into a true technique. I am constantly impressed, both by her extensive technical knowledge, and her fine intuitive understanding of how the voice works. And, of course, her endless patience and good humor. Thank you, Natalie!”

Caitlin McEwan, Actress, NYC

“What initially interested me in studying with Natalie, was the importance she placed on vocal health. When I started taking lessons, she was able to connect with me even though my music background had only been in violin. I wanted to challenge myself to do something that I have always loved but hadn't had the training in, so it was very exciting to see the improvement in my voice even after just a few lessons.”
