COACHING TESTIMONIALS:
"Working with Natalie was refreshing. I was afraid that I would just be told that I wouldn't be able to belt. Instead, she was able to locate the problem immediately, and had many exercises that helped me realize what I need to work on. This will help me with everything, from legit singing to just speaking text. I believe that by using what I learned in Natalie's masterclass, I will be able to make leaps and bounds of improvement with my musical theatre singing technique. I am definitely interested in pursuing more coaching sessions with her because she has a wonderful balance between professionalism and an understanding of the struggles of a musical theatre actor/actress. I would recommend Natalie to anyone who was looking to improve their musical theatre singing or acting, be it working on their book, figuring out a placement/resonance issue, or even just finding different ways to interpret various pieces."
-Kayla O'Keefe, Shenandoah Conservatory class of 2011
"Natalie's understanding of pop/contemporary vocal styling is superb. She introduced me to many new concepts that I will explore and experiment with along with my classical vocal technique in order to become a more well-rounded vocalist in all genres. She created a fun, comfortable, and focused atmosphere and has a wonderful ability to pinpoint and alter voice placement and resonance. One can see what a wonderful technician she is during her performances filled with brilliant musicality and sincerity."
-Michael Ehlers, Shenandoah class of 2012
"Since I began working with Natalie not only has my voice improved exponentially but my ability as a musician improved as well. She makes things fun and easy to understand which is everything a great teacher needs to do."
-Kelsey Kabinoff, Drew University class of 2012
"I've had the pleasure of a one-hour coaching session with Natalie Weiss, during which we looked at various audition material. She taught me a few warm-ups that I still use on a regular basis, and made various valuable corrections to my technique. By the end of an hour, I already began to notice some changes to my belt range, in particular. My range felt more free, and my higher notes more comfortable--whereas, I had been straining before. I would highly recommend Natalie Weiss as a coach, and I look forward the opportunity to have a coaching session with her again!"
-Chrysti Petrozzi, Flagler College class of 2012
"Natalie really focused on the fact that the basis of any song presentation is the storyline of the piece. Through just a few, small adjustments, Natalie really shed some new light on the acting moments of my song, and as a result, the sound produced was tremendously different. It was no longer about the song, but rather about the scene created BY the song. Natalie understands that within the realm of Musical Theatre, the Acting is JUST as important as the Singing. Her approach was unbelievably beneficial and completely refreshing!"
-Schyler Conaway, Shenandoah class of 2011
"Natalie electrified the students at Shenandoah Conservatory when she came for two days of master classes, private coachings, and a performance. Her advice to singers, particularly those who are learning to belt, produced instant results. She brings a youthful energy that the students really relate to, and she knows what she's talking about when she works with young talent."
-Jonathan Flom, Director of Musical Theatre, Shenandoah Conservatory

"Natalie is wonderful to work with. Not only is she amazing at working with students on pop styles and riffing, but she can also help so much with the belt and legit voices. Natalie also encourages students to really know what they are singing about, and helps them get the scenario of their song down. She was so helpful to me throughout my college audition process. She knows about auditions and can connect you to students to talk to about different programs. I have loved working with Natalie and look forward to continuing working with her in the future.
-Conner Wayne Milam, Penn state class of 2013
"Thanks Natalie for helping me with the distinction with my "pop" voice and my "music theatre" voice. You are lots of fun to work with! I can't wait to hopefully sing with you someday!! :-) Keep doing what you are doing!
-Sarah Sesler, Shenandoah Conversatory class of 2012
"I began working with Natalie in my Junior year as a last minute preparation for an audition at the University of Michigan for the highly competitive MPulse Musical Theatre Summer Workshop. I had no idea what to sing, or how to sing it. I was so clueless that I thought legit music was music that you paid for. Natalie changed all of that in a matter of hours. She found an audition piece that suited my voice, helped me with a 32 bar cut and worked intensely with me leading up to that audition. The end result...I was accepted!
My relationship with Natalie did not end there. As I prepared for college auditions, Natalie worked closely with me to discover parts of my voice that I never knew I had. Her keen insight, and knowledge coupled with her sense of humor and honesty proved to be the perfect recipe for progress. Mostly, Natalie gave me the confidence that brought me success in my college auditions. I can honestly say that I do not believe I would have succeeded without her coaching, undying support, and friendship. Anyone who is lucky enough to study with Natalie will carry that experience forever"
-Celia Hottenstein, Boston Conservatory class of 2013
"I have been studying with Natalie for over a year now and I've always enjoyed every lesson we've had. They are fun and energetic but very helpful and educational. I feel as though I leave every week with more knowledge and as a better singer. It's hard to find a voice teacher that really clicks with the way each individual learns, but natalie and I speak the same language in terms of voice terminology. I look forward to continuing to work with Natalie every week. Voice lessons shouldn't be like a class at school, and with Natalie that is the last thing I associate them with"
-Mindy Wedner, Amda graduate class of 2009
"Although I've just started with Natalie, I already feel as if I've improved my head voice along with gaining a better understanding of belting and mixing. She's really down-to-earth and I always feel comfortable in her lessons. And that means a lot because I'm constantly self-conscious in voice lessons. I can't wait to continue working with Natalie and find myself improving like I never thought possible."
-Rachael Bower, Pace University class of 2013
