I have been training with SD for a few years now and I can say I have been getting better, even my confidence has improved, I would 10/10 recommend her

Wow, I don’t even know where to start — but I’ll begin by saying how grateful I am that SD was my first choice when I started looking for singing lessons. I didn’t realize it at the time, but she turned out to be more than just a great teacher — she’s full of energy, encouragement, and always brings good vibes to every lesson.

I’ve been taking lessons with her for over a year now via Zoom, and for the past six months, we’ve met every week. I have dyslexia, and for a long time I saw it as something negative — but SD never did. She helped me see it in a new light. Anytime I didn’t understand something, she would always find a new way to explain it so it made sense to me.

I was never someone who believed much in luck, but every time our lesson ends, I can’t help but feel lucky to know someone like SD.

SD Lewis is the best voice teacher I’ve ever worked with. She takes the time to truly understand you as a vocalist and tailors exercises to help you develop your unique sound. Since working with her, I feel much more confident in my singing. I finally understand how to control my voice and use it with purpose.

I’ve been working with SD since late 2022. As someone who has performed in musical theatre recreationally, I was curious about stepping into a more professional world—and SD played a significant role in guiding me down that path.

Working with her gave me confidence in styles I hadn’t explored much before, especially pop and rock genres beyond traditional musical theatre. She helped me develop an ear for technique—now I can listen to a singer and identify the vocal methods they’re using.

If you want, you also have the chance to sing duets with other students and perform in front of an audience—experiences that helped me rediscover the joy of singing and grow more comfortable on stage. SD even offers the option to record your singing during lessons or performances, which gives you valuable material to watch back and work on independently.

As a non-native English speaker, I also received invaluable support with pronunciation, which made a big difference in my performances.
And beyond singing, I gained tools to improve my acting—especially when it came to expressing emotion and intention during a song. SD helped me connect more deeply to the material, making each performance feel more honest and impactful.

Whether you want to grow as a singer without losing the joy of music, feel burned out from routine practice, hope to explore different musical styles, or dream of truly moving people—not just sing well—with your voice, SD can help.

Beyond all the technical progress, what stayed with me the most is the way SD teaches from the heart.
Working with her felt like joining a community—and at times, even like gaining a mentor or a life coach. She brings warmth, presence, and deep care into every session.

She’s made a meaningful impact on my musical journey, and I believe she can do the same for you.

Working with SD is like unlocking the full potential of your voice as an instrument. She has a huge toolkit of physical and technical exercises that really connect the voice to the body, which makes the work feel grounded and empowering. What I love most is how versatile she is. She can coach across any genre, so it’s exciting to switch things up while still using the same core techniques, just adapted. Every session feels like a
blend of craft and play.
