"I was trained in a conservatory BFA theatre program, and I was taught to emulate the brassy “musical theatre sound” to be successful. However, Michele encouraged me to find the depths, textures, richness, and color of my voice." READ MORE

  • "I've been a student at this studio on and off for almost 3 years, and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience so far. Michele has maintained a clear idea of the sounds and genres that inspire me, and has helped me connect to my voice and sound immensely. I had already sang for some time but this studio has helped me reach sounds and ideas I believed would be impossible; I strongly recommend them to anyone interested in developing their singing."

    - Loic Murumba

  • "Michele has helped me understand the mechanics of my own voice and how to maximize the voice that I have (not the voice as someone else would like it to be or some irrelevant expectation I may put on it). More importantly, Michele has helped me to build my confidence as a singer and knowing how I can tackle a song based on my unique voice. I have the privilege of working with her online and, for a number of years, in-person. I was surprised in the transition to on-line, how effective it has been. She has a very good set-up and understanding of the technology for online teaching. I was surprised how effective the online lessons have been. Michele has such an expansive knowledge of music, the voice and the realities of a being a performing artist. Her teaching expands beyond the singing itself. I feel so lucky to have learned from her for so long."

    - Mark Staunton

  • "Michele has an incredible gift for bringing out the authentic voice in her students. When I began working with her, I had a clear vision of the kind of artist I wanted to become but needed the right guidance to get there. From our very first lesson, I knew I had found a coach who truly understood both the art and the science of singing. Every session since has been purposeful and transformative. Michele’s depth of knowledge, technical precision, and intuitive approach have helped me develop not just a stronger, more balanced voice, but a deeper connection to my artistry. Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve experienced tremendous growth under Michele’s guidance. I’m deeply grateful for her mentorship and highly recommend her to any vocalist who’s serious about developing their craft."

  • "As both a mother and my daughter's manager, I cannot say enough about the impact Ms. Michele Thomas has had. I've watched my daughter grow tremendously under her guidance-not just in vocal technique, but in confidence and artistry. Mrs. Thomas has a rare gift for recognizing the individuality of her students and helping them develop a sound that is truly their own. She invests the time and care to build both skill and self-expression, which has been invaluable to my daughter's journey as a recording artist. As a parent, I'm grateful for the patience and encouragement she provides; as a manager, I deeply appreciate the professionalism and dedication she brings to every lesson. Working with her has been one of the best decisions we've made."

    - Nina Brandon

  • "I have worked with Michele for two years now! She has an incredible professionalism and her knowledge of music is extensive. Her ability to communicate new ideas to musicians is extremely clear and connects not only to singers, but to instrumentalists as well. As a student in ensembles she has directed, she always provided diverse practice materials so EVERYONE can feel accommodated - regardless of their preferred learning style. She has expanded my understanding of vocal performance as far as range, stylistic ideas, and methods of learning. We explored learning music from the arrangements as well as from recordings. She has consistently demonstrated professional understanding of the content we were working on and explained how we can utilize tools from the classroom in our own professional careers. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Michele! As a teacher, she is brilliant AND personable, which really helped motivate me!"

    -Adrian Mendez

  • “Michele is truly an amazing and intuitive teacher. She is extremely knowledgeable, talented and has a great sense of what a student needs. She works with your unique voice and builds it up and explains every single exercise and reasoning behind everything. She has helped me understand so many more things about myself not only as a singer but as a person. I've noticed a lot of changes already in the last few months and I am so thrilled I found her! She truly has a great talent for teaching and singing.”

    — Viktorija V. of the duo, MUEX

  • “She is not only an amazing talent, but a patient and supportive mentor. She is good about helping you set realistic goals and achieving them. She doesn't have the one size fits all teaching method. She meets you at your current level and helps you move forward. She helps you develop YOUR voice.”

    — Angelique Anderson, singer/songwriter

  • “Michele is wonderful in all aspects of her service. She is extremely patient and encouraging. She truly knows her craft and this is very easy to see when you are with her. She has a balanced approach to learning how to not only use your voice but your ears as well. It's been a pleasure working with her. I would recommend Michele to anyone that is interested in vocal lessons.”

    - Kyle M.

  • “Michele is a phenomenal teacher who truly cares about her students. In additional to being a professional singer herself, she is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Michele will push you to develop your unique voice, and she cares about your development as an artist. You'll see results right away. Once you go to Michele, you won't want to work with anyone else.”

    - Jen W.

  • “I had an amazing experience with Michele! I've had no musical training, so I was starting from zero. Michele made me feel comfortable asking questions and her depth of knowledge is clearly evident. It's a no secret that she loves and has perfected her craft. Her passion for this art is contagious, and rubs off on you after just spending a few moments with her. I absolutely loved working with her, and recommend Soulstream Music to everyone! ”
