I am both a vocal coach and a voice teacher.  I work with both beginners and professionals. Many of the adults I have worked with have been on Broadway, Off Broadway, and are Cabarets Singers. 

 

I am a proud elected member of The New York State Singing Teachers Association.

 

I am currently teaching at Brooklyn College   in it’s Preparatory Center,  where I teach adults and young adults.  I teach acting, musical theatre and cabaret classes as well as have a private voice studio at the college.

 

I am currently  accepting private students in my home studio as well.

I have been teaching voice for 25 Years.

 

Adults come to me for many reasons. Some come when they need help with a particular audition, some come once a week and some come twice a month. You can choose the times that you want to come.  I have a 24 hour cancellation policy, but other than that, lessons can be made at your leisure, and when you feel you need them.  Please feel free to contact me.  When you contact me,  please tell me something about yourself, your past experience and training, and your goals.

 

Many of the adults I work with are working professional singers, and many are studying voice as a hobby.  Because I am an acting teacher as well I often will stage auditions if you find that beneficial.

 

I am very patient with those at all levels.  I have worked with many Actors-Dancers and Models who need to prepare songs for auditions and are hesitant and anxious about singing.

 

I offer a FREE consultation to serious potential students.  At this consultation we will meet each other, discuss your goals, I will hear you sing.  I will give you an evaluation and talk with you about how I can help you to meet your goals.   There is no obligation after this first meeting. This is not a lesson. It typically lasts about twenty minutes.

 

 If you decide after the consultation you would like to work with me...

 

My rates are

 

$60.00 Sixty Minute Lesson

$45.00 Forty Five Minute Lesson

$35.00 Half Hour Lesson


I can also come to your home to teach for $25.00 more than the above prices.

Text Box: Vocal Coach/VoiceTeacher for Adults
Text Box: I am a professional actress here in  New York City, and hold a Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis on Opera Performance from The Boston Conservatory of Music.   Though I have Off-Broadway credits, and am a member of Actor's Equity Association, I have had a hard time finding a coach who understands the audition process, and who has an eye for staging songs for auditions.  I saw some of the other performers Tom had been working with perform their auditions. I thought they were very well prepared. I sought Tom out to coach me, and he did a fabulous job.  I  really enjoyed  the creative process of staging a song with him, and  I feel more confident at my auditions, and am getting great feedback.  I would highly recommend him to any of my colleagues! Rebecca O’Sullivan Text Box: I am an opera singer and a soloist with major symphonies-including the Houston Symphony. I would not consider going on stage without working with Tom first. He has insight into the music and an amazing gift of helping me make interesting choices for each song. I have also performed solo cabaret acts which Tom has directed. Aside from being a performer, I am also a voice teacher. I respect the work Tom does with all his students, and would HIGHLY recommend him as a voice teacher, vocal coach or audition Coach for anyone at any level. Heather Lynne

I also stage audition songs for many people.

Text Box: " I have known Tom for over 25 years.  He is the person I go to when I need help on a new song.  His knowledge of musical theater, how the voice works and his patient and good humored teaching style makes it fun to stand around the piano and sing!"

“I have worked with Tom for over a year and have been very satisfied with the progress I have made in my singing. Tom has been great in staging my audition songs and helping me find songs to add to my book. Being a dancer, singing auditions were always a frightening thing.

 

 Since working with Tom, I feel much more confident going to auditions and have started booking jobs consistently.”
