Montclair Voice Studio Distance distinguishes itself from other studios in providing a most optimal and holistic learning environment. Each student is fully assessed and given the tools to identify and correct “weaknesses”, build upon strengths and cultivate ones’ scholarship all while encouraging one to connect with the best opportunities for one’s own artistic/recreational/professional development. I truly cannot say enough about what a wonderful and RARE gem and model is found here. They see you at your best potential here and you leave the studio reaching that potential! Isn’t that the point of learning?!!!

I truly enjoy my online classes with Kelli. I love the fact that she makes you feel comfortable and heard and actually really cares about you reaching your full vocal potential.She's very patient but at the same time will be strict when needed in order for you to get there. At first I was skeptical about doing online lessons, but honestly it's very convenient that you can pretty much take lessons where ever you are. Even when I had an unexpected trip the day before my lesson I was still able to attend. And my vocals have improved immensely in such a short time. Im very happy I decided to go for it! She's amazing!

Mark has an amazing ability to unpack monologues and scenes with startling clarity, which makes emotionally complex moments become distilled and act-able! He is eternally supportive and unfailing in his guidance in order to help the actor hit a pitch-perfect moment. He's an utter pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him!

Brandon is able to take the seemingly most complex scene and break it down to its essentials. Ensuring not only a great understanding, but also endless possibilities in play. He’s been a great help in my prep for many important jobs, Including my network audition for ABCs General Hospital (which I booked!)

Working with Hadasah on my first film was an amazing experience. I loved how she was able to direct me in such a way that helped me to present what it was she was asking of me in my own artistic way. She has an amazing eye and vision for the message that she wants to portray. So happy to have shared this experience with her!

One of the best collaborations I can recall is that with Maria Tsaroucha, who directed and led in my play “The Missing- an interesting life. This is a play which, on the occasion of the “difficult” subject of people missing in the aftermath of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, deals with contemporary issues such as intentional ignorance and fear. The play had already been produced several times but Tsaroucha’s presentation surpassed all expectations. She presented it from the point of view of an ancient Greek tragedy and the production was enriched by the ancient emotion of Methexis and Catharsis. Through PAD, she was able to interlink contemporary theater with the rituals and the sacred emotion of Ancient Tragedy, thus presenting the audience with a invaluable esthetic experience. A unique experience also for the actors who participated and had the opportunity to explore their limits and abilities past the boundaries of the conventional acting technique. Moreover, Maria Tsaroucha, who had one of the leading roles, gave a live and fully characteristic instance of PAD, attaining to a performance overwhelming in its simplicity and naturalness.

Miriam's gift is a profound ability to view the scene from the perspective of the actor. I almost feel as if she's inside the character WITH me, living the moment from inside. The rigor and imaginative fervor which she applies to text is unparalleled, and her ability to find simplicity and clarity in complex forms, such as Shakespeare and Euripides, is a true gift. Working with Miriam has been an incredibly freeing and transforming experience.
