    Carol is not only a wonderful person but also a fabulous voice coach for my daughter. My daughter lacked confidence in her voice and Carol was the key to unlocking her potential and helping her to have a great audition for her high school musical.

    Carol is extremely knowledgeable and uses time well. She is very warm and encouraging, she is tuned into the unique desires and goals for each student, and has streamlined vocal exercises in such a way to cover all bases and allow plenty to work on songs. Could not be happier with my experience with Carol!

    Carol has been working with my son for several years. He has improved so much with her help and really enjoys his weekly lessons. She chooses wonderful audition songs for him and prepares him so well. He has become very professional under her guidance and has had much success in auditions. He has learned so much about the business overall in addition to working on his voice.

    Carol is very endearing and welcoming, providing me with a wonderful premise of her experience and shared much insight, while we figured out a direction to start, and communicated my desired goals and intentions. I had a very pleasant time and I am looking forward to continuing vocal coaching at The Voice Within.
