“Shortly after I started my mentorship with Carrie I was recording my next single with my producer, who has known my voice inside and out for around 6 years. She kept saying, ‘What is this new placement? It’s so warm and so beautiful! Your belt sound so healthy and clear! Those high notes are butter up there!’

Not only did Carrie help me find my resonators in a way that sounds distinctively like ‘me,’ this newfound ease freed me up to explore the joy and the emotion even more, which Carrie never neglects in her teaching. Technique is only technique until you use it in service of the music, and Carrie helps make that connection exactly when she knows you’re ready. It’s a completely wholistic approach with such noticeable results."

‘It has been one of the greatest joys in my life to meet Carrie and to have the privilege of being her student. She changed my life in so many ways I don’t even know where to begin... I cannot express may gratitude enough for her guidance and patience as I worked through so many things, vocally and spiritually. She is truly the most generous and gifted teacher, mentor, beautiful soul, and a stunning and dedicated artist...A master of her craft...A world class wizardess!

I have grown in the most profound way in our short time together. I cannot thank Carrie enough for going through the “vocal darkness‘ with me and being an inspirational spiritual guide every step of the way. For helping me to peel back all the layers and encouraging me to let down my armor, embrace this journey and this precious gift that dwells within me. I am so blessed to have Carrie as my teacher! I am eternally grateful for her presence in my life…..She is simply the best!’

‘Having a teacher who is relatable as a working artist is not only extremely valuable, but also needed to be the kind of artist we aim to be in whatever current landscape we find ourselves in. Carrie is someone who sees her students as equals and wants to raise the tide for all of us — to make our vocals free, easy, and joyful. More than just being a fully immersed performer herself, she has the ability to convey her craft in a way that’s easily understood and can be executed with confidence. And on top of it all, she has a very inspiring, beautiful soul so you leave her. lessons wanting to be a better version of yourself overall. I simply can’t recommend her enough!'
