To top that off, you are truly generous and I am deeply grateful to have connected with you in this life journey and to have been able to participate in your workshop.

"

Anne Dugaw

Voice Coach - Santa Ana, California

"There is no one more passionate about vocal pedagogy than Lisa, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She lives and breathes it, and in doing so, has learned a wealth of knowledge useful to any teacher. She has perfected the verbiage to achieve efficient and speedy results with your students. Making the “mystery” of support crystal clear. After incorporating her Voiceworks Technique, I have seen students drastically improve in their understanding of how to properly support their voice and achieve the results they are looking for."

Carly Oates

"It was such a pleasure finally getting to meet you, and learn from you.  I enjoyed the workshop immensely. Thank you so much for your generous spirit and willingness to share all that you know. You are a gift!"

Miranda Jones

Voice Teacher

"Having Lisa do a Skype presentation with my class was like having her in the room with us (even at 2000 miles away!). 

She gave my students incredible tips on how to more effectively work with singers in the studio, including great examples (she is amazing in not only explaining these concepts, but demonstrating them on the spot!) that the student can start using in their next session. 

These face-to-face lessons and demonstrations via Skype was like getting to bring my entire class in to Lisa's studio! Just goes to show that you don't have to live in LA to get the best vocal coach on the planet!"

Todd Herreman

Senior Lecturer, Radio, Television, and Digital Media College of Mass Communication and Media Arts Southern Illinois University

“I am super-ecstatic with your workshop/presentation. I am positive that everything I've gained from your worthwhile seminar would guide and support my voice training, coaching and motivating my students.”

Susan Witt-Butler, Professor Emeritus of Voice

Hayward University

"Thank you for an absolutely terrific and mind-bending four days. Your breadth of knowledge is amazing and your ability to not only imitate so many different vocal styles, but also explain in anatomical detail exactly what you’re doing is stunning. You say you’re no longer a performer but you should be!"

Jocelyn Kasper

Nashville, TN

As a vocal coach, I found that Lisa's approach (backed by an enormous wealth of knowledge) opens new possibilities for every singer with any issue. As a singer, I discovered that Lisa totally changed the game. Singers can spend far too much time concentrating on why. Lisa challenges you to focus on where. In a matter of moments Lisa helped me release the full potential of my voice through easy to execute, yet highly specific movements. Simply put, Lisa is breath of fresh air…delightfully engaging, thoroughly knowledgeable and utterly without pretense. Every singer owes it to themselves to work with Lisa.”

Michael Ferraiuolo

New York City, NY

“Decades ago, during thyroid surgery, my vocal cords were damaged and I’ve had a weak, hoarse voice ever since. I met Lisa who told me she could help. I was skeptical but agreed to have a session with her. We worked together for half an hour. During that time, she had me do exercises that seemed strange at the time but ultimately produced results that amazed me. I left that short session with a stronger, more powerful voice! I couldn't believe my ears! Lisa truly knows her stuff. She has a depth of knowledge that helped me improve my voice when nothing else I'd tried ever did. She's a genius! Thank you Lisa!”

Brandi Centeno

"Thank you so much for the life-changing experience this weekend. It's worth at least $1200 and you would still be giving more than we're paying. You just poured all your genius into us and we are so lucky and blessed. I want to book a lesson right away. But we want to thank you so much--(actually we can't thank you enough)! Love and sincere thanks forever.”

Jill Jaxx & Jan Bunker

“I have told SOOOO many people about the awesome experience I had at your Voiceworks seminar. I've been experiementing on myself and my students with various aspects you taught us. I went to my 'classical' voice lesson and I bragged on and on about you! Thank you--thank you from the bottom of my heart! It was such a great experience. Like I said to you in person... you TRULY lived up to the propaganda in your brochure---and even went beyond it! You've touched my life. Thank you!”

Susanne Reid, Professor of Voice

California Baptist University

“Thanks for the fabulous time at the Total Singer Workshop. You helped clarify a lot of the questions that I had about non-traditional singing. Your energy, knowledge and compassion were wonderful. Keep up the incredible work!“

Professor Kevin Helppie

Western Oregon University

“I was absolutely amazed at your ability to comprehend all different styles of singing and also be able to sing in that style with conviction. I never knew that one could belt, sing rock, and jazz without damaging your vocal cords. I know I will never be able to sing in all those styles but now I can help my students who want to sing in their favorite styles without vocal damage and with skill! Thank you for the most enlightening time. Your energy is contagious.”

Seoung Lee Wilson, Classical Singer/ Teacher

Brian Dunning

“About a year and a half ago I discovered your web site and ordered ‘The Total Singer’. One of the best things I've ever done. I'm now able to sing and be confident that I'll sound good, every time. I have never enjoyed singing as much as I do now. Thanks to ‘The Total Singer’ I have the confidence I need to perform in front of others.”

Ray Silvestri

"After the first session, it became clear to me why Lisa Popeil is so highly regarded in the world of vocal instruction. Unlike many vocal coaches out there, she's a true expert in vocal anatomy and has an exceptional voice of her own to back it up. She immediately spots vocal roadblocks and offers usable and practical solutions that free the voice in a safe and powerful way...and for all genres of music. Lisa is one of the best coaches that I've encountered in nearly 20 years of singing. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in becoming a better singer or speaker. You will get results."

Tristan Thomas, Singer/Songwriter

“Big thanks for your vocal producer prowess. We were blown away yesterday mixing these tracks listening to these undeniably much improved vocal takes. You truly are a 'vocal cord whisperer'. Wow- like magic!!”
