and I help singers like you discover the vocal and acting techniques they need, so they can tell their stories through song.
I've worked as a performer, music director, voice teacher, vocal coach, conductor, and accompanist for more than 20 years…
It’s not just about technical skill though - it’s about creating artistry through honesty.
The goal of voice + acting work is understanding and accepting who we are, what we’re about, and what our song is trying to say through us so that we can share it with confidence and freedom.
Let me guess -you’ve been at this singing + acting gig for a while.
You’ve memorized monologues and carefully chosen cuts.
You’ve played every theatre game known to humankind.
You’ve worked to “embody the character” and “find the ping” and “project to the back of the house.”
There’s no question that you’re committed and diligent. After all, you’re working so. very. hard.
But somehow, none of that work is quite getting you what you want.
Because you want...
to step into roles with joy and confidence.
to explore all the parts of your voice and learn how they can serve the story you’re telling.
to float those high notes with ease.
to discover the secrets behind that iconic Broadway belt...while still sounding like yourself.
Put simply?
You love to sing, you’re serious about performing, and you’re ready to give it your all.
And you know what? Me too.
Serious singers often get stuck on serious questions:
“What kind of repertoire suits me best?”
“How do I belt? And when?”
“How do I not sound so...classical?”
“How do I get better?”
“Am I...good? Am I...ready? Am I...enough?”
And these are the exact sorts of issues I love to address with singers.
Ultimately, the most powerful artistic choice you can make is to love what you bring to the stage.
I want to help you get there.

“I feel so much more confident in my voice in general but specifically my belt. Diane has truly helped me push past the limitations I felt in my voice. This newfound confidence has allowed me to tackle songs that challenge me and stretch me as a singer. ”
