VOICE

plant your feet
and sing

You might think vocal lessons are just for aspiring superstars,
but in fact everyone can benefit from training their voice. From improving breath awareness and technique, to strengthening alignment and boosting self confidence, vocal lessons have something to offer everybody.

In our sessions together

WE’LL WORK ON…

Breath support


Balancing the registers of the voice (chest, middle and head)


Building vocal range

Song interpretation

Postural alignment to support those pipes!

My teaching is informed by 15 years as a professional singer, dancer, actor based in NYC. My teachers include Jasper Grant, Kara Boyer, Bill Reed, Sarah Louise Lazarus, and many more. 

So, looking to increase your range?

Let’s work together

I offer in-person sessions at my home studio in Middlebury, VT, as well as online sessions via Zoom. 

  • Vanessa is highly skilled as a teacher of body awareness and mechanics. Her lessons seamlessly incorporate her various skill sets, creating an effective, calming and ultimately exciting experience for me. Vanessa’s encouragement and critiques always leave me feeling inspired and supported. I noticed improvement in my ability and confidence after just a few sessions. Studying vocals with Vanessa is a highlight of my week, I highly recommend working with her.

  • “Working with Vanessa has been an absolute joy. Since I started working with her, I can see massive improvements in my vocal technique and health. Vanessa manages to create a judgment-free atmosphere, filled curiosity and play.”

  • How does one begin to describe Vanessa's absolutely infectious, uplifting, sunshine-and-rainbow energy?! A great start to get to know Vanessa is to either jump right in with both feet - like I did - and book a first session, or to watch her working with her students on stage. Her level of complete presence with her client as a coach and practitioner, plus her talent and expertise are second to none.
