A Studio Love Story…
Welcome friends! I’m Hannah. I’m a voice teacher, self-love advocate, and proud musical theatre nerd. I’ve made it my mission to show you that you have everything within yourself to love your voice fully.
My journey is a long one but it all started with some YouTube videos. (Maybe you’ve seen me lose my mind over some singers?) I began filming reaction videos as a way to connect with more students around the world. Pretty soon coaching requests were pouring in faster than I could keep up. That’s when the idea of The Vocal Collective was born. A collaborative studio for singers of all levels. A one stop shop for all things singing.
So I got to work. I gathered a group of coaches I’ve worked with in the past who all played a role in my own vocal journey. Together, we made it our mission to help YOU navigate the ins and outs of this crazy industry. Now, everybody gets a chance to learn and I get to ensure each student receives the same attention, philosophies, and support that I am so passionate about.
What started as a dream has grown into what you see here today. A collective studio of artists just like you looking to educate, connect, and empower others. We can’t wait to watch you grow!
Curiosity…
We’re all about the creative process and that means embracing curiosity! Through the ups and downs, our motto is “Stay Curious, Not Furious!” Enjoy the ride!
Courage…
Some days courage looks like stepping out of your comfort zone and starting a new journey for yourself. If you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step. Congratulations!
Connection…
Community and connection feed our souls and fuel our journey. Don’t be afraid to take encouragement from those around you. Allow others to lift you up! (& do the same for them!)
