Reviews
“Genevieve was my vocal coach when I was a cast member of the musical “Man of La Mancha”. I’ve had many vocal coaches in the past and I’m pleased to say none of them have helped me achieve as many vocal breakthroughs as Genevieve. Working together with her only for a brief 2 months, we were able to get specific and iron out the challenges that I faced as a non-professional singer. She has always created a fun, loving, safe, and encouraging rehearsal space that allows for so much growth and discovery. Genevieve is a vocal coach that’s definitely worth your time, and your money.”

"The time with Genevieve was super helpful! She’s specific with the techniques she uses and it’s thrilling when we discovered progress each time. A great time with her coaching. Intelligent, inspiring, and full of joy."

"I met Genevieve in the Mandarin Version Musical Play “The Man of La Mancha” and feel so thankful to experience her proficiency in her vocal coaching. Naturally I was nervous whenever I sang on the stage and was not confident in my own skin. Noticing my problems, she would always conduct a consultation before we started the vocal training, encouraging me to resonate with my character and my songs. Even just for one sentence of the song, we tried to outline various scenes, use different emotions, body gestures and facial expression time and time again to seek for the best way to demonstrate. She was never judgmental to any of the ideas that I raised and would give me the instructions and advices that are most suitable for me. Through her strong perceptiveness, she helped me find my inner strength and spirit, and magically transferred them to my voice. She is truly a worthy coach!"

"I took my first class with Genevieve in May 2019. It was a group class and her voice sounded different from everyone else in the room, that’s when I think ”Wow, she must sing very well”. Not only can she sing, she has really encouraging teaching style that I am not used to growing up. She recognize every effort I put in and is never shy about complimenting my smallest accomplishment. I’ve been taking classes with her since then and she always tries her best to find different methods to help me improve. I was really shy when we first started it. Class after class, I feel more and more comfortable with singing. Now not only do I like singing, but thank to Genevieve I can enjoy it more."
