Testimonials of Mark Bosnian's Vocal Coaching

"My voice always died after four to six shows in a row. I just got back from a 16 day tour where I sang 17 shows in a row. My voice is stronger, more in pitch and better than ever. I'm singing things I never thought I could sing. I owe it all to Mark and his vocal technique exercises."

"Mark Bosnian is an amazing teacher with a wonderful skill in discovering the obstacles to a student’s singing or speaking. Using encouragement, a good sense of humor and praise he guides the student through the process of removing the obstacles to using their voice. A student feels safe to experiment and develop skills needed to improve their performance and gain confidence. As a public speaker I found Mark’s teaching priceless."

David Shipley, naturopathic physician

 

"Thank you so much! I am proud of myself I might add! It felt so comfortable and for the first time I was relaxed! Thanks to you and your AWESOME technique! Following what you have taught me has given me wings to soar to the higher heights and I am so very grateful!!"

Nikii Davis, singer/songwriter

 

"Mark Bosnian has been one of the most influential people in helping me pursue my musical goals. There is no question that my training with Mark has dramatically improved my singing. But even more importantly, his encouragement and support helped me develop the confidence I needed to be successful as a lead singer. I definitely recommend Mark to anyone looking to develop confidence in their singing style and improving their technique."

"My whole life I held the belief that I could not sing. Mark showed me that singing is a skill that can be learned by anyone! He is a gifted teacher and knows how to communicate concepts in a way that makes sense even if you don't have any experience with music. Learning to sing can be extremely vulnerable. Mark, understands this and has a way of creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where you feel safe enough to put yourself 'out there' as you explore and expand your potential."

Rob Marshall

 

"We so appreciate the community of performers that you have developed, and the sense of extended family that it gives to Aria as she gets to know, admire and love all these other talented adults that she gets to experience through your performance nights. (At this age, that is a rare privilege and support, as you probably realize.) Aria is developing her talent and stage presence amazingly under your tutelage. We cannot thank you enough. Thanks for being such a wonderful part of her life."
