Throga - The Vocal Gym 6385 Lake Road North, Bergen, NY 14416

"I started out training with Throga not understanding how to use my voice to create music.. He believes that anyone can learn to sing, and i am living proof. We would start our classes with the vocal gym and finish them with singing. The vocal gym exercises, were fun and always changing. Like a gym, i started seeing improvement in a few months. He focused on different aspects of the vocal ability; Range, strength, accuracy of pitch were a few of them that i’m paraphrasing here. I find myself humming the exercises as i commute to open up my voice even when readying to speak to different folks or when i lose my voice at a loud bar. It’s really quite profound that i lose my voice at a bar, and can re invigorate it by doing the exercises which release the swollen vocal cords. Richard has done his research and is committed to helping people discover their true voice and capabilities. I think it would be highly beneficial to give his book and online course a try. And if one has the resources, his personal sessions are outstanding."

"I’ve made tremendous improvement as a vocalist under the tutelage of Richard Fink IV. His book, 7 Dimensions of Singing The Throga Technique, is a comprehensive guide to understanding and improving your voice. The 7 dimensions are outlined in an accessible manner and explored from anatomical and practical perspectives. This holistic approach has deepened my connection to my voice and empowered me as a vocalist. The online “Vocal Gym” exercises continue to provide new challenges and opportunities for growth. More specifically, they provide the means to develop individual dimensions and in turn, find new ways to express myself as a vocalist and artist. Richard has been an irreplaceable figure in my journey as a vocalist and I am grateful for him as a teacher and mentor."

"I've known about Throga for years now and it always reminds me of the time when I went to their Throga Retreat in Orlando (2017). I made my first ever song with Throga Records! It was an unforgettable experience that I'm so glad I could recall. Richard Fink IV has always taught about the 7 dimensions of singing, which include flexibility, breathing, intonation, range, tone, articulation, and strength. Through the Vocal Gym, you are able to identify your weaknesses and strengths, and are given the right techniques to improve. It's a wonderful system, willing to help you become a better singer! With much love, Aubre"

"Richard Fink IV has been providing online vocal coaching to our daughter over the last seven and a half years! In that time we had the pleasure of attending three Throga retreats: two in Vegas, one in Orlando. Each one of them was very well organized, professional, and most importantly a positive, encouraging environment for our daughter. These events were held at professional recording studios with state of the art equipment. At these events we were able to see Richard in person and how attentive he was with his students of all ages and all skill levels, with a great ability to meet them at their own level. Richard demonstrated incredible patience and kindness, as did all the Throga instructors at these events. Additionally, we found the Throga instructors to be highly skilled and talented singers and musicians in their own right."

"I have improved my singing much more than I expected because of Throga. Richard Fink IV is a wonderful vocal coach, going over many techniques to bring out your voice to the fullest. I was impressed by the amount of effort put into the 7 Dimensions of Singing, talking about how your instrument works and simple physical exercises and ways you can improve your singing. The Vocal Gym is another way that helped me improve my singing, with in-depth videos breaking down each exercise. Throga is an amazing environment to help develop your voice."
