I've been coached by Rachel for a little over two years now and I can truly say it's been a transformative experience. I came in with a mild knowledge of what is was to be an actor and Rachel has not only informed me in ways to improve my craft, my voice, and how I study a role but also increased my horizons on where I want to go in my career as a performer. My voice acting and accents have improved and my preparation steps to go into a role has also gotten better as I now know more ways to analyze a monologue, or dialogue scene, and pull the most out of it as an actor thanks to Rachel. She's encouraging, very patient, and best of all able to adapt quickly to what you will need as a student as you level up in your acting abilities while working with her. I cannot recommend working with Rachel enough and her knowledge on so many different types of acting (i.e. Voice Acting, Accents, Theatre, Film, etc.) means that no matter what your goals are as an actor, Rachel will be able to guide you in the best ways possible to get you to where you want to be in the craft.

Karen is very personal and in tuned with actors she works with. She’s detailed and focused on bringing out the best with those she works with.

"What more can I say except that Regina is AWESOME! You will not find a more dedicated teacher. She is passionate about her students, meets them at their level and helps them to excel, all while fostering a love of music. Her own knowledge and love of music shines through her teaching. I am so glad I picked up her card and gave her a call. The confidence and progress I have seen in my son since he started lessons with Regina just a few short months ago are beyond measure and will be with him his entire life. If you are looking for a teacher who is devoted to her students and has the desire and ability to bring out the best in each of her students, call her today!" ~Jennifer Bunn I am grateful and blessed to have had such a talented and extraordinary Voice Teacher as Regina Noel Downing part of our NYVC Voice Teacher Training & Certification Program. She is one of the most knowledgable, skillful, and creative professionals that I’ve ever had a chance to meet throughout my career. Regina knows how to apply both classical vocal technique as well as cutting-edge modern vocal pedagogy with her singers. She is very gifted at finding artful and inventive ways to help all of her students achieve their singing and artistic goals, regardless of their level or background. Regina is also a master at creating a positive learning environment for her singers and seeing each and every one of them as a gift. Her sincere passion for helping aspiring singers express their talent fully and JOYfully is apparent in every moment of her teaching. Regina’s studio is very busy because her students always eagerly await coming back for more and more knowledge and inspiration. I can’t recommend Regina more strongly to voice students looking for a new Voice Teacher. From newly beginning singers to very experienced performers, Regina will demonstrate the professionalism, excellence, creativity, support and positive spirit that so many search for. I’m proud and honored to call Regina Noel Downing an alumni of the NYVC Voice Teacher Training & Certification Program as well as my friend and colleague. I’m truly excited to know that her talent and passion have already helped countless singers and that many more will have her as an integral part of their Vocal Journey. Justin Stoney Internationally-Renowned Voice Teacher and Vocal Coach President and Founder of New York Vocal Coaching www.NewYorkVocalCoaching.com www.VoiceTeacherTraining.com "Our kids have been under Regina's teaching for over 5 years. Each of our 3 children both enjoy and respect her as a teacher. We are very pleased with their progression in understanding music, and in their ability to play music. We would definitely recommend her music academy to anyone looking to increase their abilities in either piano or voice."

About four weeks ago, I came into the vocal assessment expecting a vocal coach to listen to my voice for a few minutes and tell me what they thought. I had no idea how physiological it was going to get. In just four weeks, I have heard and also felt different changes in my voice like different areas of my voice moving and contracting whenever I sing, or going up a few notes in my range that were near impossible for me to hit. This experience has challenging, unpredictable and exciting all at once and I always find myself looking forward to what is to come the week after and what changes my voice has gone through in just a few weeks. It's incredible and completely worth it.
