Testimonials
"The Amazing Angela: I’ve studied with numerous vocal teachers over the years (both male and female) and have yet to find anyone else who knows my voice so well. Her enthusiasm, energy and talent (oh yes, she can accompany you on ANYTHING!) are boundless. Her vast knowledge of music from all kinds of genres allows her to recommend song choices that fit your voice specifically and the vocal techniques she employs allow you to easily break down any song."
- Wende O'Reilly (Actress, Comedian & Vocalist)
"Angela Howell is simply the best. She's talented and well-versed in a wide of range of musical styles. Angela teaches a healthy approach to singing without vocal strain and tension – how to breathe properly, phonate with resonance and clarity, hit pitches correctly, sing with volume, and how to make the best of your vocal range. She's enthusiastic about teaching and encourages and supports her students." - Ria Lubis (Business Woman & Vocal Student)
Angela has really helped me create a brilliant vocal future. Before I met her, I struggled to reach high notes, but now I can sing them far easier in a supported way with an open throat. Angela is able to reduce tension, fix breathing problems, edit music to fit your range, help you utilize your tongue and improve your vocal life in every way. She is always bubbling with energy and is so much fun to work with, I count down the days until my next Angela lesson!
- Serena Miller (Rye area Actress & Vocalist)
"Angela Howell is one of the friendliest, most knowledgeable singing teachers that I've ever worked with, and-by far-the most helpful. Before studying with her, I had many teachers attempt to help me with my vocal problems, with little success; but Angela immediately uncovered the root of my issues and has quickly found ways to help me improve. I'm so grateful to have found her. If you want someone who can get the job done then Angela Howell is definitely the "good stuff,"
and I highly recommend her!"
- Danielle Herbert (Broadway Actress & Vocalist)
"Angela has the expertise and experience to write and arrange music, and deftly direct both musicians and singers. And she has the power to keep everyone on the same musical page."
- Adele Tarkowski (Folk Singer & Recording Artist)
"I've always heard that when the student is ready, that the teacher appears. Although I had been taking voice lessons for many years, I struggled with the high notes and belting. I was always convinced that one major thing was holding me back from the results that I wanted. Then...poof! -- I found Angela through a mutual friend who was also a performer. Angela quickly diagnosed my issues (turns out I had more than one ...shocker). I learned about tongue tension and discovered that I was not breathing correctly (even though I had been doing it since a was a baby). Nothing happens overnight, but in the year or so that I have been with Angela, my voice has improved by leaps and bounds. My performance teachers were AMAZED at the changes in my voice. I can't wait to see what happens next. Grasshopper grab your spoon and get started.with a true master. You won't regret it."
- Lynne Hildebrand (Singer, Doctor & Cabaret Artist)
"I’ve been studying with Angela since the spring of 1997. Over that time, she’s not only become a great mentor, but also a great friend. There are many keys to her success as a teacher. To name a few: Her excellent musicianship, her skills as an actor, and her fantastic ear. The last, I think, is her greatest superpower. She has the uncanny ability to actually hear how the student is physically producing the sound, and to top that, knowing how, through her creative exercises, to lessen unneeded tensions. This brings me to the crux of her technique: Tension free singing. The goal is singing healthfully, with an ease of production and a freedom of expression, to make music without the stress and strain that sadly, too many singers lose their voices to. When I first began studying with Angela, I was one of those singers. I worked too hard, pushed too hard, and forced too hard to produce sound that was ultimately doing my instrument damage. Oh sure, I could belt it out, but at what cost? Certainly, I wasn’t using a technique that would get me through eight shows a week on a Broadway stage! But through Angela’s brilliant technique, we were able to correct my bad habits, allowing my breath to create the tone, not my strained throat or some quick fix trick. In short, she taught me how to make music, music that’s not only easy on the instrument, but easy on the ears, music that not only would book jobs, but sustain me through them, music I can be proud of.
That’s her gift, and that’s a gift she’s given me."
