There are SOO many fun ways to think about efficiency in breathwork! 😍
I’ve had a lot of success in the studio with my singers specifically with exploring the various ways we can become aware of how our inhalation impacts our sound.
Let me be very clear - there’s no one ‘right’ way to breathe.
It depends on the singer.
It depends on the phrase you’re tackling.
It depends on the style of music you’re singing.
It depends on how much technique you’ve built.
That’s why 1:1 lessons are so FUN! Not every voice lesson looks identical. 😍

Running a successful voice studio means wearing 47 hats: teacher, business owner, singer hype squad, admin assistant, therapist-adjacent boundary setter, and occasional detective trying to figure out why your jaw tenses on high notes.
So…I won’t be apologizing for having business hours, taking vacations, referring students elsewhere when I’m not the best fit, or continuing to invest in my own education. 🤩
The goal has never been to be everything to everyone!!
The goal is to help people sing better, find joy in their creative and professional life, love their voices more, and build a studio that’s sustainable enough to keep doing that for years to come. ✨
And this is why I didn’t marry a loser 😂 We weren’t meant to carry this mental load on our own!! 💛
One of the values we talk about a lot at The Honest Voice Co. is curiosity.
People often assume voice lessons are about a teacher having all the answers. Don’t we wish!!!
In reality, the best teaching often starts with questions.
Every singer arrives with a different voice, different experiences, different habits, different goals, and a different way of learning.
And…
There is no single exercise, cue, or technique that works for everyone. 🤷🏼♀️🤯💥
So instead of forcing singers into a cookie cuttermethod, let’s get curious.
We experiment.
We observe.
We make tiny adjustments.
We gather information.
We celebrate what works and move on from what doesn’t.
Sometimes our lessons feel a little like a science lab! 🧪
Exploration gives students agency. And it builds trust in not just the relationship with the tescher, but with their own voice 💛✨
The goal isn’t to create singers who sound the same because !!!! The goal is to help each singer discover what works for THEIR voice.
Curiosity keeps us learning. It keeps us humble. And it helps us serve our singers better every single day. Curious about your own voice? We’d love to explore it with you. 🎶 Summer lesson spots are now open - send us a message or visit the link in our bio to get started!

We are committed to celebrating authenticity at The Honest Voice Co. That means celebrating YOU, our beautiful 2SLGBTQIA+ fam!! You are welcomed and cared for here, and we celebrate you this Pride month 😍🤩🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Take a peek inside our studio! 🎤🎶😎
I love digging into the nitty gritty technical and stylistic elements of a song!! This singer came to me feeling a bit off balance (like she was running out of air / having trouble with managing it through these longer phrases), and we used some fun resonance tools to help her achieve her desired sound!! 🤩
Lessons are booking FAST for summer, and we still have some openings! This is your sign to finally take the plunge 🎤🎶✨Link in bio!

✨INTRODUCING OUR VOICE FACULTY🎶🎤
Starting off with Madi, who specializes in pop and musical theatre styles! 😍
Madi brings such a unique lens to teaching young singers, having completed her Master’s degree in Children’s Cognitive Development. Her background gives her a deep understanding of how kids learn, engage, and build confidence - something that shines through so clearly in her teaching. 🧠🎶
In the short time she’s been teaching with us, we’ve already seen incredible growth in her students and so much intentional care in the way she supports every singer who walks into her studio 😍
Madi has completed certifications with Dr. Jenevora Williams in ‘Play Based Learning and Engagement in the Voice Studio’ and ‘Voice Growth/Change in Kids and Teens’ through Full Voice Music, and continues to be mentored in evidence-based voice training by Breanne and other industry professionals.
She has studied voice since childhood, completed a Minor in Music at Brock University, performed with Brock’s Sora Singers choir, and volunteered with Tomorrow’s Voices children’s choir. Madi recently achieved 91% on her Level 7 RCM Voice exam and is currently working toward Level 8.
We are SO lucky to have Madi on our team, and she’s expanded her hours! ✨ A handful of lesson spots are opening in July, so grab ‘em before they’re gone!
Auditions don’t have to be scary or daunting!
Here are my top fave do’s and don’t’s to make your auditioning experience as seamless and comfortable as it can be. Because your voice and your artistry deserves to feel good 💛
Bestie, you CAN sing both well 💛
You just need a different set up!
This is EXACTLY the kind of work I love getting into, coming from a classically trained lyric soprano turned pop songstress. I spent YEARS in the classical industry, and while I learned so much (and love singing art song!) I realized it wasn’t what I wanted to sing.
Pop is where my voice truly feels like it comes alive.
So if you feel a similar way, you’re not alone! In fact, you’re exactly the kind of singer I work with 🤩😍 you CAN make the pop sounds of your dreams!
