“Every mind is a snowflake. Beautiful. Exquisite. Completely unique. The world today is simultaneously asking us to conform and to be different enough to be famous. Learning to free the voice is very complex. Everyone’s journey to freedom is going to look completely unique. We need to get comfortable with that at the outset. I have told vocalists for years that this is a quantum process.” – PANTHEA
Panthea has helped me find my voice and through it, I have found myself. My work with her has transformed my voice, my body and my way of thinking. Her technical expertise combined with her generous heart make her an incredible, empowering coach… She has never had an agenda for me. She encouraged me to figure out what agenda I have for myself and helped me bring it to life. She taught me how to connect to my intuition. She has given me a toolbox that will forever be mine. She has given me independence and that to me is a true master teacher.
– Alia Lahlou, actor
Thank God Panthea was there to support me, guiding me through every step of understanding how the voice works. I’ve been an actor for over 8 years, and one thing I can say with certainty, is that vocal technique helps me immensely everyday, both as an actor and as a person. The way I approach a character is much deeper than it was in the past. Acting and singing are complementary and when I wake up wanting to sing…I am reminded that I’ve found and am following the right path.
– Matthieu Mascré, actor
Panthea coached me for four years on musical theatre, breathing, rock, and life. She answered all my questions, musically, and otherwise. She taught me to always find my sacrum, in both singing technique and to guide myself through life by staying centered and grounded. She encouraged me, she believed in me, and she helped me discover and evolve into 10,000% of the artist and human I am today – open to all possibility, artistically and beyond, and free. Run, don’t walk to her, and soar.
– Elizabeth Conway, actor/singer/film producer
”Working with Panthea has been an eye opening experience in just a short period of time. Her vast experiences in all vocal styles and outlets is only complimented by her friendliness and positive attitude. Her enthusiasm alone is enough to inspire great vocalists to become even greater.”
– Mike Celia, singer songwriter/recording artist
Thanks to your generosity and expertise, Panthea, I have been reunited with the voice I once knew but thought I’d lost. Thank You for bringing me back to the source.
– Sienna Dahlen, vocalist/composer/instrumentalist
With Panthea’s relentless yet sympathetic and warmhearted guidance and coaching, I have attained a vocal level I am not sure I believed was possible, and I know this is only the beginning. As an actor, I can project my voice in an effortless way, I can make sure it is connected and true and working with me and not against me. As a singer, which I am finally not afraid to call myself, I am still discovering the range of notes and textures I can sing, but mainly I can warm my heart by singing almost any song with ease and joy, and with a growing set of tools to make the adjustments I want. And as a person, having a voice that is connected and present has helped me feel more connected and fearless in all aspects of my life. No more holding back.
– Elizabeth Yale, actor/film editor
Panthea works simply, efficiently and effectively with enthusiasm and positive regard. My time with Panthea has provided me with a clearer understanding of how to access a freer and more open voice through breathe, posture, intuition and visualization. I can’t recommend Panthea enough to those pursuing and continuing a life in the performing arts.
– Trevor Hayes, actor/acting coach
Panthea understands the psychological barriers that place enormous limitations on the voice. She was able to pinpoint where mine were and open me up to new ways of breathing and increased range. Panthea allowed me to experience my voice as a whole, in all it’s range and strengths. Panthea is truly a fantastic teacher.
– Julia Galios, singer/instrumentalist
She got me; she used a language that spoke to my background as an actor in order to nurture my basic understanding of what I should sound like as a singer. “It’s all about creating space,”she says. As I learned that everything is done with breath, it all started making sense for me. Singing became a discipline of staying open and connected, of focusing on resonance rather than forcing the push. … This freed up the sound and it just flowed out. It was a stunning discovery that I never thought I had in me…. I now find myself in the recording studio, voicing characters and calling upon all of the skills that I took away from my secret little adventures as a rock star.
– Lydia Zadel, actor/voice artist
These vocal coaching sessions with Panthea were life-altering. First, my earning potential as a singer/performer has increased ten-fold because now, I can sing night after night without damaging my voice. In fact, last year I performed 21 shows in 17 days as the sole lead-singer in my band. My average show is 3 hours of music with me singing every song. After the 21 shows, I was tired, but my voice was still ready to go. It was truly amazing. I have earned the nick-name the Machine in my circle of musician-friends because I have developed incredible stamina and consistency in my performances. – Dwayne Dixon, songwriter/singer/bluesrockstar
As our sessions went on I started to feel this newfound confidence as I developed my kit of vocal ‘tools’ with Panthea. Tools that gave me complete control of my voices ability, tools that took away the constant ‘what ifs’ I had when performing that I didn’t know how much had plagued me until I was able to overcome these with Panthea’s help. Panthea has a profound knowledge of the voice and the body and how they work together and is truly one of the most compassionate, kind-hearted and welcoming people I have ever met.
– Nicole Gibson, singer/recording artist
I never thought I would even touch that note but learning how to sing properly and effectively has helped me reach it. As a professional violinist and actor, she knew how to use what I already know so well to help guide me in my vocal training. Being a violinist and an actor brings up some stubborn moments, including over-analyzing and not letting go of old habits. She’s very patient.
– Kenny Wong, actor/singer/violinist
… I have found myself to be a new woman, one who is not afraid to use the entire range of her voice, knows how to sing without strain or inhibitions, and is eager to continue progressing in her vocal development. An experience like this truly deepens one’s passion for singing.
– Polina Grace, singer/songwriter/music producer
I always wanted to train my voice and Panthea was the key to unlocking my blockage, fear and judgement. She has an innate ability to take you ‘where you are at,’ and personalize her sessions to make them as fruitful as possible for each student. She is so understanding, giving, and knows how to challenge you while making you feel safe and supported every step of the way. Panthea is a true vocal coach who is dedicated to her students and who knows how to juggle a harmonious balance between knowledge, technique, and passion. I loved our sessions and recommend her wholeheartedly! – Inka Malovic, actor
Vocal coaching with Panthea is more than a course; it’s an experience. She possesses a masterful understanding of vocal technique and her highly creative approach helps people from all backgrounds to tap into their authentic voice.
– Matt Tomlinson, singer/songwriter, recording artist
Her precise knowledge of the vocal instrument and the human body as a whole should be put into a book! … I needed to rebuild my technique to protect and enjoy using my priceless instrument, my only body. I was surprised how Panthea wanted as much as I did to find this new and healthy path towards my longevity as a performer. I realized, after two years of work with her, how much it was changing me, how my voice was free but also who I was becoming. Life became lighter, I felt stronger since I had a voice! I never thought I could sing, and here I was professionally presenting rock, pop and classical repertoire in my stage shows! It made me feel so free and confident.
– Marie-Anik Deschamps, circus artist/singer/actor
Within a few weeks of starting lessons with Panthea, my voice sounded richer everywhere within my range! After practicing proper breath support with her, my vocal timbre became a lot clearer. Panthea guided me to a place where singing became more comfortable and freeing like I had always dreamt it would be! Because Panthea’s knowledge of the human voice and music is so comprehensive, she is not limited in teaching any particular genre. If you want a vocal break through you must definitely take lessons with Panthea!
– Jack Di Blasio, singer/instrumentalist
…The mindsets born out of the cultural confines of a specific language can also be an undetected mental barrier. For instance, to shed light on my inexplicable struggle to sing legatos, Panthea helped me associate each individual note in a phrase with the strokes used to compose a Chinese character so that my mind could picture how to link them together. And this is but one of many examples of her laser-sharp observations, infinite patience and tireless efforts to help me rethink how my instrument is built and how I can use it differently. In the process, we untie one knot after another and sometimes when stars align and all is unlocked, the voice coming out of me is so rich, full, vibrant, free and effortless that I have to check with her to see if that is indeed my voice…In addition to her exceptional talents as a singer, Panthea’s insights into human mind and body, wealth of general knowledge, including how languages and cultural habits help or hinder certain paths to vocal freedom, her profound compassion and patience with clients such as myself who struggle as an adult to overcome long-term habits, all combine to make her an incomparable coach.
– Sherry Chen, UN simultaneous translator/actor
Panthea is a wonderful teacher. She is technically proficient but never loses sight of keeping joy at the heart of singing. She was the ideal coach for me as I was a classically trained singer who wanted to learn to sing pop. Many professionals said it couldn’t be done. But with her rigorous training as an opera singer who has transitioned into many different genres, she knew exactly how to handle my difficulties and guide me in the right direction. I recommend her to anyone who wants solid training.
– Caroline Gauthier, actor/singer/artist business coach
Panthea was trained by the late loving Aurore Hamel and the late great Selena James.
Her coaching balances on two decades bel canto training, a decade
of classical ballet, Alexander technique and various martial arts.
She grounded this all during decades on stage travelling
through grand opera over goth metal inside 15 years street
and arriving at Aerial Opera - the integration
of all of the above with aerial circus arts.
