Hey Kate, I just wanted to say thank you for getting me where I am today, it means the world to me that you have spent so much time with me, and lead me to get SO much better... considering where I began. I am SO excited to keep recording, the first experience was a lot to handle, but it gave me the exact direction that I want to go! So in a short message, I just wanted to say thank you so much, because I would not be where I am right now without you, and it means the world to me.

Thank You For Being An Inspiring Teacher. I just wanted to say "Thank You", for today's lesson. It really helped me today. It not only made me, feel good about my singing, but it helped me get through a very critical moment in my day, today. I was feeling great when I got up to come to class and someone had to try and steal my joy, and you brought it back to me. I Thank You from the bottom of my heart. You are a GODSEND!. Thank You so much Kate and God Bless you.

Thank you for all the healings you have given me from your great heart and powerful intention. You were very intuitive that I was ready to receive this all exactly now…

Love Lisa

Thanks,Hi Kate, just wanted you to know that these 1st 5 weeks have been super..........thank you for your kind words and encouragement. My last vocal teachers from Oakland University - Classical voice were always making fun of the tunes I would choose, or my diction and my love for southern / country / bluegrass / americana / folk music. And yet, because I loved singing so much I put up with it for 1.5 years......I will never make this mistake again! Its wild, but I am already noticing changes, and hearing them when I record.

Thanks, Kate, for providing the female voice warm ups! I practiced 2 times so far and I love the work out is provides...it really helps my voice. I will be in touch soon to purchase some of the essential oils as well as the spray for the microphone, etc. Again, thank you!

Sincerely, Ann Holmes

Just want to email you and say "Thank You" for being a great vocal teacher and helping me with developing my singing. Thank you so much and God bless you.

Thank you, Kate!! You are a great teacher and you made our Saturday class so much fun! I really appreciate having the opportunity to work with you. I look forward to working with you again one on one. Ann Holmes

I saw the movie The King's Speech. It is really wonderful - with amazing writing and acting. I think you would really enjoy it because so many of the exercises and "homework" that the speech therapist gave to the Duke (later King) are what you taught us in our voice over classes. I feel privileged to have had instruction "fit for a king"! Thank you so much.

I heard an interesting interview on NPR today with the Coen Brothers who were talking about True Grit and how difficult it was to cast a 14 year old girl who could pull off the right voice characteristics they were looking for. I thought it was pretty interesting to hear what they had to say about Hallie and how she didn't have the voice of a typical 14 year old today.... which reminded me of how hard you worked to get Alora ready for that audition... how ready you had her... then how when an agent heard her, he had her do something completely different.... more Disney upbeat... completely opposite of what she had rehearsed! In other words, you were SOOO right and he was SOOOO wrong. If you remember, this was the role that got her terminated. Apparently he didn't like being questioned or disagreed with?? Kudos to you... you're the best!

Thanks to you and Emily, dynamic coaches (simply the best) in helping us find and use our voice.

Mike Bridges.

I'd really like to thank you again, Kate, for all your hard work and all the time you've given to me for everything. I'm very happy that I've had the opportunity to meet both you, Emily, and all the really great people you surrounded yourselves with. It's been an honor to be made part of things! I just can't wait to see what happens next

I would take this workshop over again in a minute--everything I've learned I have been able to apply! It has taken me to the next level in voice-over training.

I look forward to your vocal lessons and the life lessons that come along with them. It is people like you who keep me going through this hard journey and keep me striving to be a better person. Thank you again for all your love and support.

'A great introduction to the voiceover industry. I highly recommend it. Kate and Emily's instruction is definitely a winning combination. Their undeniable and genuine interest in their students made the learning process all the more enjoyable!'

Marc Doirion

Thank you for all you do for Alexis. Everytime she leaves you, she is excited, inspired, and feels like she has learned a great deal. What more can you ask for from a teacher? ...Best

OMG – I AM LOVING THE DEMOS!!!! Seriously, this brought tears to my eyes! Everything sounds great – the music choices were spot on! THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!! You are true professionals – thank you for doing this for me. I am totally blown away. This is such a clear and polished demo. Far superior to what I could have done on my own. What a wonderful experience! Can you believe that I am actually going into a local studio this very afternoon to record some on-hold messaging for my company? I could not have done any of this without all of you: your encouragement, your expertise, your attention to detail and genuine care for your students. I am so glad that I found the class. So very glad that you have helped me “Find My Voice”. Thank you again. Keep up the wonderful work!

Kate Hart and Emily Rose are a perfect blend of talent and professionalism for their voiceover workshop. They both bring individual expertise to the table in all areas from voice instruction, breathing technics, personalized selection for the voiceover demo CD and working in the studio, My 15yr old daughter benefited tremendously from what she learned during the workshop. It has prepared her for many opportunities in commercial, anime, and books on CD work etc. and given her a greater confidence in herself.

Lynn Surmann

Thank you...what a great website! Thanks again for putting so much effort into this and helping us all with our resumes, demos, free advice...etc. I personally am very thankful

Miranda

Just a brief note to thank you for all you've done for me. My voice continues to improve, my range is better than ever and I continue to apply what I've learned

Frank K, Black Hat .

Oh my gosh, Kate, What do we do without "Tuesday mornings with Kate" now? I will miss the class time and fun we had together. I love the MI Voice Over Talent website.......Thanks again for the classes and demo. We are excited and look forward to work in the business

Carol

Kate, saw the website...It's great! Thanks for an enjoyable class. You made learning fun and both Emily's and your enthusiasm is contagious. I am glad to have started my VO career with you two!

Kate and Emily are a great team to teach voiceover techniques. Kate’s background as a vocal coach makes her the perfect person to teach diction and techniques to avoid vocal strain and enhance stamina. Emily’s background as an actor and acting teacher gives her the ability to help students understand the business of doing voiceover work, as well as assisting with script selection and building a great demo CD. They’ve both spent a lot of time in recording studios so they demystify the process from start to finish. I highly recommend this course.

Dawn Zuber

Bec and I were so excited to hear our demos. Thank you! Thank you!

Carol Watson Himm

Thanks so much for all that you are doing to help me and the rest of your students - you are WONDERFUL women!

Michelle

I also have had some success. I have done 3 voice over commercials and I am being considered for a series of PSA's to be aired in Chicago . I am doing the final audition monday. Thanks for all you and Emily did for me. I could go on forever .... I got all of my jobs off the back of our voiceover binder that you guys gave to the class.

"Working with Kate has been truly instrumental in helping me discover my true voice and all that it is capable of doing. Not only is Kate a great teacher, but she is a very heartfelt person, very genuine and caring. I think that because Kate is such a warm person, she is really able to create a comfortable and nurturing environment for students, which is absolutely necessary when working with such a delicate instrument as the voice."

"I just wanted to let you know that what you are doing with Nolan is starting to get noticed by his teachers. As you know they are having auditions for Once on This Island at the middle school. I was talking to another teacher and apparently the drama teacher said that his audition was unbelievable because he wasn't trying to put it over the top and as a result was the top!"

"Kate's approach to teaching vocals is truly progressive. She doesn't force a generic style down your throat. She gives you the "how" and the "why" and leaves plenty of room for your personal touch. Her methods bring out your true voice. Her instruction on vocal registers, breathing, and pitch has not only helped my singing tremendously, it has also made me a better speaker and beat boxer. As a highly successful performer, business woman, and teacher, Kate Hart will go down in history as something special. Anyone who has a chance to receive her vocal instruction should take it."

"Kate has a wonderful care free style that makes my daughter feel at ease when she sings. She is very positive and has developed my daughter’s voice in safe and structured manner. She treats the voice as an instrument that needs care and finite adjustment. Kate Hart has been not only a teacher, but she is an artist. Her work with my daughter has inspired my daughter to work hard at her craft and pursue a career in singing, and she’s only 12."

"Singing has always been a dream of mine. Two years ago I found myself at a point in my life where I was seriously thinking of pursuing singing as more than just a hobby. Unfortunately, I lacked technique. All my life, I took every opportunity to get up and sing for people and at 25 years old I realized I could only sing one to two songs without my voice giving out on me. This scared me. I didn't want to lose the ability to do something I loved without ever having the chance to really fulfill my dreams. A wonderful twist of fate brought me to Kate Hart. After my first couple of lessons we assessed that I had done some damage to my voice over the years but Kate was very reassuring and confident that I could correct the damage and improve my singing technique dramatically. Although it hasn't always been an easy road, the rewards of my work with Kate have been amazing. I look forward to my lesson every week even if I feel like I've hit a few bumps in the training because I know she will immediately make me feel at ease, address the problems I might be having and restore my confidence in myself. She has never wavered in her confidence in me and has been exceedingly patient through this process we've been involved in for the past couple of years. I cannot begin to thank her for the many ways she has improved my singing, my confidence and my life. She encouraged me to audition for a band, which was terrifying for me to say the least, but she had faith in me. Because of that, I did audition and I got the job. Now I'm out there doing what I love to do with confidence and a new voice. My dreams of pursuing singing are actually looking more like a reality and I can honestly say that wouldn't be the case if I had never crossed paths with Kate Hart."

"You are a great teacher! I am so thankful that I "found" you!"

"I've been taking lessons from Kate for nearly a year now. I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my tone and range. I've become aware of what it sounds and feels like to use head voice versus chest voice. Kate is always working on improvement herself by reading and learning new vocal techniques from other voice specialists. She passes this knowledge on to her students, which keeps everyone learning all the time. She is a great 'out of the box' thinker/teacher as well. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone who seeks voice lessons."

"I've enjoyed working with you tremendously. You had faith that I could improve my voice and my breathing when others tried to discourage me. And, I've learned so much from you! Even my stage presence has improved as I've become more confident. Also, thanks for not trying to change my voice, as many others, like you, find it different and even unique. Thank you also for encouraging my song writing and critiquing my efforts. In that area, I've come a long way in a short time."

"Anyone who wants to sing properly, better, longer, needs Kate Hart. Anyone with stamina issues or vocal cord damage needs Kate Hart. As contemporaries, Kate & I have had similar issues to overcome in our careers, she has been invaluable to me. She has helped me find my voice again."
