"Nail auditions. Win competitions. Land leading roles. Prepare for college, conservatory, or professional gigs. Build stage presence, perform with confidence, and launch a music career with proven, professional vocal training.

I'm a certified vocal coach with advanced studies in Professional Music (Vocal Performance & Songwriting) from Berklee College of Music and a B.A. in Drama & Dance with a Piano minor from Colorado College. I trained directly with the vocal coach behind Grammy winners and Broadway stars including Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes, Demi Lovato, John Legend, Lea Michele, Idina Menzel, and many more. I now bring those proven, industry-level methods to my own students for real results at any level.

With 15+ years of teaching at academies, studios, and theaters in Boston, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, I’ve guided students to success at every level. My students have won competitions, landed leading roles, joined working bands, and built real pathways to music careers. Training spans pop, rock, R&B, country, jazz, classical, and musical theater—always tailored to each singer’s unique goals.

My teaching style is precise, results-driven, and personalized. I help singers understand the how and why so they develop quickly, perform fearlessly, and build the technique needed for a lifelong career. Lessons cover breath support, projection, tone development, pitch accuracy, range, agility, artistry, audition prep, and performance confidence. Students consistently experience measurable progress that prepares them for auditions, recording, and stage.

One parent shared: "My daughter Italia’s technique improved amazingly within six months of working with Vanessa. She’s already landed three shows and was invited to sing the national anthem at a sporting event thanks to the confidence and skills Vanessa builds."

I also offer Performance Piano for singers and musicians who want to accompany themselves, write songs, or strengthen piano technique for ensembles, bands, and theater." less...
