“Lis is an incredible coach and teacher with a deep knowledge of body and voice, and teaches with grace.

I struggled with my voice for years and had been uncomfortable with it for as long as I can remember. Lis took a holistic approach, gauging where I was emotionally and psychologically, and created a lesson plan specifically for me. Even with just a few classes, I can see the difference in my singing ability and confidence.

Thank you, Lis!”
