Sarah Walston is a brilliant voice teacher. She explains and demystifies the singing process by explaining what happens when the body produces sound. She has helped me to reduce tension, relax into the breath, improve my posture, keep an open space in the back of the throat, fill my tank with air and let the fullness of the sound resonate naturally. Sarah has helped me to re-think my approach to each song I sing; Showing me how to score and map out lyrics with a special emphasis on vowel placement, tongue position and even where to take a breath. She’s helped me to stop “swallowing” the sound and instead let it spin almost effortlessly to vibrant life in an open and expansive way. Every time I work with her, I walk away with something new. The lessons help me to unlock something even more fundamental: I feel energized, happy and grateful to be able to enjoy singing — whether onstage in front of hundreds of people — or all alone, while doing dishes in my kitchen. Put simply: Working with her just makes me feel better. Sarah has also changed my approach to vocal health, giving me several key tools to put in my toolbox — from warm-ups to best practices — and more. With her practical, no-nonsense approach, Sarah Walston has improved my posture, my pitch, my presence and my whole approach to singing. She has given me a renewed sense of confidence in my ability to sustain a healthy and strong vocal performance career for years to come.
