Chantal Lambert, Director, Atelier Lyrique, L’Opéra de Montreal
Kathleen and Kelly ’s approach is very inspiring. It prepares and equips the singers with tools that help them deliver their best performance. Acting becomes something tangible, down to earth and efficient. Their work method allows the singers to be on solid ground with a voice that is totally free.

Kathleen and Kelly's workshop had enormous resonance for our students. Their warm and encouraging atmosphere for learning, combined with truly transformational tools, gave them all a feeling of having techniques they can grow with and rely on, giving them increased confidence as singing actors. Some of the students were visibly glowing by the end of the two days, and several told me that it was the most powerful learning experience they had yet had at University.
Anna Sideris, Guildhall School of Music and Drama
Working with Kathleen is a wholistic experience…. I made substantial technical progress and found a new flexibility with my voice. I have found myself using Kelly’s techniques in all my singing, whether that be recital, concert or opera. It is particularly helpful with audition preparation.
Hilde Binford, Chair, Music Department, Moravian College, PA
A wonderful balance of interactive activities and discussion combined with a masterclass setting providing individual attention and feedback. The students were involved and attentive from the start, with engaging discussions and theatre games designed to have everyone using the same language.

This is an aspect of training in our chosen field, that is frankly neglected…I have begun to feel a nourishment in my practice that I haven't experienced for a long time.
Jonelle Sills, Glenn Gould School RCM
The techniques have enriched my process as an artist …the work we did together will have a lasting impact on my artistry.
