The Voice Within Studio LLC - Carol Westcott

"I'm a student of Carol's and can only give her the highest recommendation. After working with Carol on a weekly basis I've developed a voice that I didn't think was possible. Carol has a deep understanding of the mechanics of voice production, which she uses to great effect to enhance and correct vocal problems. She provides encouragement and helps build confidence as skills increase. Carol is excellent at finding repitoir that suits not just your voice but your musical interests in all styles and genres. She custom designs exercises to meet performance goals. Carol has a great ability to make you feel comfortable and supported. She is warm, friendly and in all ways a fantastic teacher. Whether a seasoned professional or a rank amateur, like me, you can't go wrong with Carol."

"Beyond her incredibly strong musical background, Carol is a personable and kind teacher who encourages her students while also pushing us to grow out of our comfort zones as singers. I would highly recommend taking lessons with her!"

"Best voice teacher I’ve ever worked with. She is a wonderfully kind and caring person, and it wasn’t hard to warm up and become vulnerable and sing with her. Other voice teachers helped me improve certain aspects of my voice, but Carol took it to another level. She is a master level teacher and completely changed how I relate to my instrument and performance.This journey has changed how I see myself, as I can now express my creativity more fully. Not o my has my voice improved, but how I understand the music has grown. My ear training has dramatically improved as well, and I can learn new songs soo much faster. It’s been a blessing to have found her and been able to study with her."

"Carol's teaching is excellent! She never overwhelms with drills or options, choosing fun songs and short exercises to address weakness in the voice and unthread bad habits. Working with her, my voice opened up dimensions I didn't even knew it had (I thought I was showing up to try to hone the one or two things my voice did well). Her pedagogy is interesting, simple, clear, and productive, based in years of experience and an interest in acoustics and science :) So good!"

"Working with Carol Westcott has been such a pleasure. I’ve had many voice teachers throughout the years and she is one of the kindest, most professional and most effective voice teachers I’ve ever worked with. When I first contacted her, I wanted to improve my musical theater skills since I’ve always struggled with singing since I was young. She has helped me immensely improve the control of my voice, belting, and pitch. What impresses me the most is how healthy my voice is while still sounding better and better each week. She has done so much research into practice methods, voice health, and vocal training that she knows exactly how to help with any voice issues you may be having. I’m constantly learning new things from Carol that are interesting and effective, and that I can use anywhere I am. In addition to her skills as a voice teacher, Carol has been nothing but professional and accommodating to my schedule. She has helped me plan for auditions, and be ready for every opportunity that I come across. Whether you’re a professional working in the theater or music industries, or a beginner wanting to learn how to sing, she knows how to train you. I recommend Carol Westcott 100% to anyone who wants to improve their voice in a healthy and effective way."
