About this pro
At Bristol Recording & Voice Studios we offer a variety of services such as private voice, piano and guitar lessons in addition to having professional music production and recording studios on site. We work with all level students, from beginner to professional. Lessons are a full hour or half an hour in length, delivered in the studio or online.
The Bristol Voice Method is unique- we are one of the few vocal programs in the world that teaches the TRUE pop/rock/r&b/folk method (non-classical) which is the style of singing used by nearly every contemporary major recording artist for the last 40 years. While most voice instructors teach a classical or Broadway style, the Bristol Vocal Method prepares you to succeed as a contemporary singer and offers all the tools used by today’s top singers. Styles: Pop, Rock, R&B, Folk, Country, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Hip Hop, Rap and more.
We have trained many singers who have excelled on live tv, and placed first, fifth, placed in the finals, or competed in all of today's national television singing shows such as: The Voice, The Voice Brazil, America's Got Talent and American Idol.
We care about RESULTS! We love to see our singers achieve goals far beyond their expectations! Discover the four tone qualities that today's top singers all use; improve power, range, stamina, tone quality, breath control, personal style, performance, confidence and stage presence!
We offer a free 'no obligation' introductory voice lesson with the director of the program, Ric Poulin, to discuss how the program can help you achieve your goals as a singer and bring your voice to the next level. Once we know what you are looking to achieve as a singer/performer and what particular styles of music you like to sing, we tailor our lessons towards your goals and needs.
Our services include all aspects of Artist Development- Performance and Audition Coaching and Workshops, Songwriting Coaching and Workshops and more.
We are located in a beautiful old bank building diagonally across from Symphony Hall in Boston and have been in business for over 30 years.
You can give us a call at 310-525-0801 or 617-247-8689, or you can share your number and we can call you, and we can get you scheduled. I'm looking forward to talking with you more and answering any questions you may have!
We'd love to know more about you and your goals. If you'd like, please take a few minutes out to fill out our vocalist questionnaire form so that we can get a good idea of your objectives. It's a google form at this link: https://forms.gle/qguWttXHkex9Lyiv5

I really didn’t know the true potential of my voice until I started taking lessons at Bristol. There is a great deal to be learned in these lessons, and if you work at it results come pretty quickly. The classes are super fun and the teachers are knowledgeable, confident and very helpful. Definitely worth checking out even if you just like to sing for fun.

The teachers at Bristol Voice Studios have been helpful, and amazing! My voice has developed quite a bit since I’ve studied at Bristol. I have gained more confidence with my singing and have developed the skills I need to be the best singer I can be!

There are only caring, helpful, patient and knowledgeable voice teachers at Bristol Studios. They take the time to really listen and evaluate what you are doing with your singing. My voice used to hurt when I would “belt” out my favorite song. Now I can properly place those high notes with ease so I sound really pro. My voice has improved five-fold!”

I came to Bristol Voice Studios with a classical/musical theater background. After my first lesson, I realized my full potential as a pop singer. After the second lesson I was amazed at what my true vocal range was, and I realized that I had been singing incorrectly for the kind of music I actually liked to sing. The opera sound won’t cut it in the pop scene. I am very confident that the Bristol Voice Method program can make any singer reach their full potential.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We offer a FREE no obligation consultation to evaluate the students voice. We focus on what skills the student already has, and what skills they need to focus on. From there we develop a specific curriculum based on the students needs and personal goals.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Voice and piano students have the choice to pay weekly or take advantage of our discounted rate when they buy a block of ten lessons (and get the 11th for free.)
What types of students have you worked with?
We work with all levels of students, from complete beginners to professional level singers. Some of our students wish to improve their performances at open mics and some of them aspire to go on and become professional singers. Many of our students have won top categories or auditioned and been selected on tv shows such as American Idol, The Voice, America's Got Talant and XFactor. The benefit of our program is that it leaves students with new abilities and the knowledge and tools to navigate the world of pop/rock/r&b music, and allows them to curate a voice that grabs the attention of listeners.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Students love our Open Mic nights, and our packed house Student Showcases!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
It is important to find a teacher that understands what you are looking for. There are many people out there who teach classical, operatic and musical theater styles of singing but not many who solely focus on the pop/gospel style. While other teaching styles can still be successful in shaping a contemporary voice, our program specifically studies the techniques and styles of the chart toppers from the past 40 years. If you want to see results, the best thing to do is to study the voices that have achieved the results that you want.
