"Heather Dudenbostel is not only a brilliant singer and performer, but also a genuinely caring individual who wants what is best for each and every one of her students.  After just six months of lessons, I felt 100% more confident in myself and my vocal style and also my ability to choose music for auditions. She really pin-pointed my strengths and how to use them to improve my weaker areas. Her nurturing approach is wonderfully balanced with a realistic view of what we need to accomplish in our lessons for me to succeed in my career and achieve life goals. After almost a year of lessons I've gotten my second performing job in NYC and continue to learn and grow with Heather's guidance."

"After almost ten years of voice lessons, and five voice teachers, studying with Heather Dudenbostel is the first time I have felt truly connected to my most authentic voice. She keeps concepts, that have become unnecessarily complicated in the vocal world, simple, and does so with a focused, tender approach. As a professional singer who regularly faces challenges such as multiple long rehearsals and changing vocal styles within a single rehearsal, I am constantly implementing the vocally freeing techniques Heather and I worked on. This has resulted in the most effortless, natural, resonate sound I've ever experienced."

-Julie (singer, choral director)

"Heather is awesome! She has the ability to be patient, encouraging, understanding, and kind while still pushing her students to perform their best. Heather creates a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for any level of student, from the adult beginner to seasoned professionals. No matter what level of experience you have, she will help you sound, act, audition, and perform your absolute best. You will have the tools and confidence to do whatever you want with singing. Heather helped me to get over my auditioning anxiety, create depth and layers in my acting, and have the technical base to sing whatever I choose. Whether you want to book your next audition or simply sing for fun, Heather will get you to do it. She is a fantastic teacher! I recommend her highly."

- Michael (dancer, musical theatre actor)

"Heather Dudenbostel is an extremely gifted vocal coach who has lead me to much success as a singer and performer.  I have had the honor of studying with Heather for the past four years and in that time, she has coached my voice into a healthy and mature instrument.  She has a vast array of exercises and tools in her arsenal to help me sound my best and has introduced me to a wide range of repertoire.  Heather is the most supportive person I know and continues to be a source of inspiration, an invaluable mentor and a treasured friend."

-Suzy (singer, songwriter)

"Before working with Heather I was an abominable, atrocious, atonal mess who scared little children and pets.  My singing was a crime against all who sang, aspired to sing, or even just dreamt of singing.  But now, although I'm not quite Frank Sinatra, I can carry a tune in a full octave and sing a bit of falsetto while I'm at it too, all without causing Fido to run for cover or the neighbors to call the cops.  That may not technically be a miracle, but it comes pretty darn close. Thank you, Heather."

- Alan (actor)

"Heather is not only a fantastic teacher, she is also an incredibly giving person. She makes each lesson personal to the individual student's needs and the result is a much more open and truthful sound. Her attention to technical detail makes the sound clear and full. Each lesson is rewarding and the student walks away confident in their instrument."
