Kristin saved my voice. I was diagnosed with vocal nodules and was told that surgery was imminent. After some sessions with two different speech therapists which I did not find helpful, I met with Kristin Halliday. Instantly I had access to my voice in a way I hadn’t experienced in a very long time. With consistent sessions, she worked with me to get my voice back to full health- free of nodes (confirmed by my doctor) and I am now working again as a singing actress. No surgery!!
Kristin is amazing. She has the ability to get the best out of her students by inspiring confidence in them and teaching solid technical skills. Kristin is professionally versatile and therefore able to teach any genre of music. My daughter loves studying with her because she knows she believes in her and is able to teach her the skills necessary to reach her individual potential.
Dear Kristin, Words can hardly express the pleasure and pride we experienced on Friday night watching all your performers. Each time a student had the spotlight it was like opening a gift with their songs bringing such delight. Your work is really being in the business of “joy”. You nurture joy in the heart of the students by developing their ability to express the “language of their soul” and you create joy in the parents as they see their children transform into song birds right in front of their eyes. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to see our daughter indulge in what we now see as her passion. You are truly a genius!
Ms. Halliday has the exceedingly rare ability to draw out your most sincere voice. In the years that I worked with her, she guided me in discovering strength and depth that I had no idea existed. If you’re looking for artificially manufactured singing, go elsewhere. Ms. Halliday is perfect for both beginners looking to find their voice and experienced singers looking to further grow and develop. And to top it all off, she is the gentlest soul you will ever meet. For anyone seriously interested in developing their voice, for business or pleasure, working with Ms. Halliday is a life-changing opportunity.
Thank you again, we are privileged to have you work with Alison, and we look forward to her continuing development with your guidance. What a talented and hard working group of students you have, truly inspiring.
As usual, your students were an excellent testimony to your extraordinary skills and demonstrated both technical skill and showmanship all around.
Kristin, thanks for all you’ve done for Mike. I’ve observed his growth as well (In fact, he repeatedly surprises/amazes me with the sounds that come out of his mouth). You’ve taught him so much and built his self-confidence.
Thank YOU – Josh had a wonderful time and got so much out of the intensive…he cherishes the words of encouragement, the intimacy with the other singers, and the advice and praise he received from the teachers…
Kristin’s expertise in vocal mechanics and technique are unlike anyone else’s. She has been my guiding light throughout my career. She has rebalanced my instrument throughout years of regional work as well as my debuts on Broadway and at the Metropolitan Opera. I have been studying with Kristin for almost two decades! We started when I was in highschool, I had already been in a number of regional productions and I was extremely protective of my voice. Before meeting Kristin I had tried lessons, but no luck. I refused to be told how to sing. When I started working with Kristin I was overjoyed to discover how much we focused on the nature of the breath. Taking time to breathe and come back ‘home’ ; To my Self. Kristin’s gentle and patient nature combined with her holistic and process- oriented approach captivated me, and I knew that Kristin was the teacher for me. From there the singing came more and more naturally. Kristin sharpened my instincts and relationship to my body. She’s the real deal. With a career spanning over twenty years I can confidently say that there no one else doing it like Kristin Halliday.
