ACTOR, SINGER, WRITER, DIRECTOR

"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

"What sets her apart from every other vocal coach I’ve had is her true commitment to developing my unique sound instead of forcing me into a mold." 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."

  • "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."

  • "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."
