Lisa Popeil’s Voiceworks

Lisa is incredible! She made me feel so comfortable around her immediately and already after 2 lessons, I feel like I learned and developed greatly. Lisa has helped me prepare for a big audition and I strongly recommend her to anyone who wishes to become a better singer!

Lisa is a wonderful vocal coach and human being so it’s a double bonus. My daughter has been taking lessons for six months and her voice has improved tremendously — her producer says her vocals are spot on! Lisa is empathetic and caring and I am so glad we found her. She really understands individual style and how to bring it out. She pinpointed immediately the reason for my daughter’s chronic sore throats and showed her how to not stress her vocal chords — and she has not had a sore throat since. Sometimes it takes over an hour to get to her in traffic and it is worth it!

Lisa was great! from the time i started speaking with her on the phone until the actual lesson. This lady is patient and professional. A real pro! She really knows her stuff. This is much more then a singing lesson. You will leave knowing things about your voice and vocal chords know one else would ever bother to tell you and probably wouldn’t know anyway. If your serious about singing this is the teacher you want. Her range and pitch were amazing! i have been to several teachers that were much more expensive and did not know one quarter of what i learned from her. I cannot say enough about this lovely lady! I recommend her highly.

I have been working with Lisa for many years and honestly, there really aren’t words to describe what an outstanding coach she is. I am a fairly well-​known country artist, and live between my hometown of LA and also Nashville. This last year when preparing for a tour and also recently going into the studio to cut a new record, I was talked into working with two «famous» vocal coaches, one who coaches for American Idol finalists and one who is a big deal here in Nashville. They are both fine and I am sure they help many people. In the middle of cutting vocals for this new record, even though I have been singing forever, it dawned on me that I just wasn’t getting ME on the record in the way I needed to. I was utilizing some techniques and direction that are traditional in my industry, but in doing so, even though i sounded louder and more «country», a major part of my individual style was getting lost. So I went back to Lisa, and after ONE HOUR of coaching me through the vocals for my single, I went straight into the studio and nailed that sucker in 3 takes. My producer literally fell out of his chair. He asked me: «HOW did she get you to sing“out» like that, and sound totally like yourself? This is what I have been waiting for all along.” He wanted me to explain and so here goes as to why every single singer needs to go to Lisa:– She focuses on the individual. Classically trained, she learns about who you are as a person, your strengths and weaknesses as a vocalist, your confidence issues whether in studio or live, and teaches you foolproof techniques about breathing, posture, working correctly and EFFECTIVELY with your diaphragm and vocal cords, achieving power in both your head and chest voice, gaining complete control over your performance so that vibrato, for example, comes out totally naturally, sounding beautiful and right for whatever song you work on. The exercises she gave me to work on when I first started working with her have stood me in good stead for a long time, but working through individual songs with her and the right warm ups for whatever approach you need… man!!! Unbelievable. I would say whether you are a child or adult, a beginning singer or a professional, Lisa can give you the foundation to build to your maximum capability as a vocalist and bring out your unique quality, which in the end, is what sells stars! I will never go to any other coach again, and even though I am in Nashville now, Skype sessions work just as well as being in the room with her. I am so grateful to her and finally really excited about my work on this record! Plus she is an incredibly gentle, sweet but internally powerful person, so not intimidating. Very creative and empathetic. Run, don’t walk, if you are serious about becoming a real singer. That’s all I can say!

I’ve taken lessons from Lisa for almost a year now, and it’s incredible how much of an improvement I’ve seen. Every single lesson I walk out learning something new. Never having been the most confident singer, I can’t say enough words of how much the care and attention to detail that Lisa has, has truly improved my voice. She is the sweetest person, and really cares about each of her students. She understands that every voice is different, but knows how to adjust her vast knowledge to each student, in both their singing and their everyday speaking voice. In short, I can’t recommend her enough.

Lisa is phenomenal! She’s an incredible teacher and no one is more knowledgeable about the voice than Lisa. She’s kind, patient, and determined to get you to sound the best you can. With just a few adjustments tailored to my voice, my sound changed dramatically for the better. I can’t say enough good things. Anyone wanting to be a real singer should look to Lisa to shape you into that artist.

Lisa is amazing! I’ve only taken a few lessons with her and I’ve already started to see a great improvement with my voice. Lisa gets to the point of the problem and fixes it. I’m so happy to have have found her as my vocal coach. :)
