What Makes New York City a Vocal Coaching Capital?


NYC is a magnet for talent, creativity, and next-level training. If you want to find your voice—or unleash the one you already have—this city is where legends are made.


Why NYC?

  • It’s home to Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and every major label and studio you can imagine.

  • Voice teachers here work with Grammy winners, TikTok stars, opera divas, Broadway stars, and industry newcomers.

  • There’s an enormous variety of vocal styles, specializations, and schools of thought—including one I proudly call my own: The Dual Voice Method™.


Types of Singing Lessons in New York City:


There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to your vocal journey. NYC offers a smorgasbord of options for different learning styles, budgets, and goals.


🎙️ Private Singing Lessons

Perfect for singers who want personalized, accelerated results. Choose a coach who tailors the session to YOUR goals.


🎭 Group Singing Classes

Group classes are great for building confidence, community, and cost-sharing. You’ll get to practice harmonies, sight-reading, and maybe even some healthy competition.


💻 Online Voice Lessons with NYC-Based Coaches

Working with a New York vocal coach online gives you world-class training from anywhere on the planet.


How to Choose the Best Vocal Coach in NYC


Not all vocal coaches are created equal.


🎯 Look for:

  • Real-world experience (Broadway, recording studios, live concerts)

  • A teaching method they can clearly articulate

  • Client testimonials that show measurable transformation


👑 The Dual Voice Method™ (My Fierce Approach)

I developed this method after 17+ years coaching global icons and aspiring singers alike. It trains:

  • The Physical Voice (technique, control, stamina)

  • The Inner Voice (emotional truth, storytelling, confidence)

Together, these two voices create unforgettable performances. This method is only taught through Tour de Fierce.


Vocal Exercises for Singers: What You'll Learn


Your vocal coach should guide you through:

  • Warm-ups to wake up your instrument

  • Breath support drills for projection

  • Range-expansion techniques

  • SOVT (Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract) exercises for vocal health

🎁 Bonus: Use the Tour de Fierce Vocal Warm-Up Generator for a personalized routine before each session.


Where to Take Voice Lessons in New York


You can find a phenomenal coach in any borough if you know where to look.


🏙️ Manhattan

The heartbeat of Broadway. Expect premium prices, premium talent, and premium results.


🌈 Astoria, Queens

A creative hub with major indie street cred. The reason I set up shop here in Queens is because Queens County is the most diverse county on the planet, and I wanted to help all those diverse voices blossom in every genre of singing out there. See, I’m based here for a reason. So far, I haven't met any other coaches like me out here, but there are a few I'd recommend for the basics.


🎧 Brooklyn

Artsy and edgy. A great scene for contemporary styles like pop, R&B, and alternative vocals.
