ABOUT USThe Voice Lab's Mission
Our mission is to cultivate transformative relationships through voice and music education.
The core components of private lessons and workshops are not just technique and repertoire, but soul-healing and personal development through sound and song.
We value exceptional teaching and commitment to learning over credentials. We value honest expression over “correctness” and classical definitions of “proper” music making. We acknowledge power dynamics through agency-giving practices and grace to make mistakes. We value diversity and strive continually to create spaces that are of, by, and for our clients and team.

What is “love your voice”?
Voice (n) - the sound produced in a person's larynx and uttered through the mouth, as speech or song; a particular opinion or attitude expressed.
Voice (vb) - to express (something)
To love your voice is a complex invitation of self-acceptance. Your voice is you—how you speak, how you sing, how you make music, how you move through the world.

To love your voice is the ultimate acceptance of who you are.
Where we came from, where we are
The Voice Lab originated in 2014 with owner, Liz, and a handful of students in a church basement. Our reputation quickly grew as an affirming, inclusive voice studio and within the first year we had 4 teachers in a thriving storefront location, serving students both in-person and online. The company was built on values of compassion, individual attention, innovation, and uninhibited creativity. We created this community with big dreams of a place where every voice is valid, beautiful, and necessary.
These values extend not just to our students and friends, but most importantly to our team. We strive to be an equitable, loving, challenging, and fun place to work. We honor and lean into each team member's strengths so that our community benefits from collaborative work. Our teachers are each experts in their own right, and we create opportunities to learn from each other.
This is why we built The Voice Lab, to provide personalized education for students, a joyful working environment for staff, leadership and training for fellow teachers, and a place where community members can be accepted as themselves.

You belong here.
We at The Voice Lab believe that every voice is valid, beautiful, and necessary, exactly as it is. We believe in lifting up the voices--literal and figurative--of those who are systemically marginalized, oppressed, and targeted. We unequivocally support Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGTBQIA+, neurodiverse/divergent, and disabled lives.
We strive to uphold these beliefs first within our own company culture by investing in each team member's unique strengths, while also acknowledging and creating systems to support our unique obstacles in navigating the world.
We believe in community care, not just self-care. We strive to continually cultivate community in person and online, adjusting our space so that everyone has access to belonging when they are here.
We are committed to the ongoing process of unlearning our prejudices and dismantling racism and oppression. We are committed to continually stepping in to the ring, to hearing and learning from our mistakes, and to celebrating and advocating for the visible and invisible qualities that make our Voice Lab community unique.
