Mike was recommended to me when I first landed in New York. He saw me through my first Broadway audition, all the way through booking Mamma Mia! out here in Vegas. Mike instantly hears where my voice is that day, and what I need to do to get to the core of my clear, clean sound in a way that is not only easy, but easily repeated. I take my recordings of our lessons to the theater every single day. When I listen back, I’m always amazed at the vocal power and clarity I have by the end of the lesson compared to the beginning, and yet the singing has also become effortless! He’s given me empowering knowledge about the physiology of my instrument, added amazing tools to my belt, and even more confidence in my back pocket. To top it all off, he’s great to be around, and easy to talk to when the biz is getting you down!
