Greetings!
KEVIN HERE, CO-FOUNDER OF THE NYC VOCAL STUDIO.
I created the studio in 2011 with my dear friend Molly Noerenberg, to help people realize their full potential as singers. As self professed “life-long learners” our journey started as a search for how to help people improve their voices, and blossomed into an exploration of how to guide people into feeling more confident in their lives, expressive in their art, and truly love the way they sing.
Our work brings together the disciplines of voice science, performance neurology, learning theory, and artistic self-discovery. All of this is put into action through play, connection, and exploration, because let’s face it- singing should be fun!
Our unique approach to working with singers operates on the rather holistic belief that your instrument is you. Every single beautiful, messy, perfect, human, piece of you.
Yes your vocal folds, and your soft palate, and your tongue, and your diaphragm. But also your obsession with Dolly Parton, and your fears of not being enough, and your dream of starring on Broadway, and those songs you wrote that no one has ever heard.
Join us in the radical act of loving the way you sing.
Work with us and bring more awareness to:
Your Body
We help students gain more body awareness, get more physically “grounded,” and sing in a way that feels satisfying and empowered.
Your Mind
We have a fascination with how the brain and the nervous system interact with the singing voice. We help students, especially those with performance anxiety, explore concrete ways to get out of “fight or flight”
Your Self
We guide students to connect to their innate creativity and hone their artistic point of view. What do you want to say as an artist?
