What is a Holistic Voice Coach?

In my 10th anniversary year, I am now calling myself a holistic voice coach so people immediately know that what I do is unique and involves holistic health. So what does that mean exactly?

5 philosophies that shape what I offer as a holistic voice coach

1. Your body is your instrument – taking care of your body helps you create and maintain a healthy voice.

2. I teach by helping you learn body awareness, so that you physically experience what works and doesn’t work – and get it in your body memory.

3. Your voice is an extension of your identity and your soul that you share with the world. It’s so important, and with you every day of your life.

4. To me there are no “bad” voices, there are only voices that need effective training, practice and healthcare.

5. The way I see it, my job is to find fun and inspiring ways that work to help you improve your voice. If I don’t immediately know of a solution for your issue, I will either invent one, or do research to find one.

Testimonials

Thanks so much for the over 470 voice lesson students, workshop students, teleclass students, choir students and musical theater performers who have helped me become a better voice coach since 1999. I feel blessed by what they have to say about me:

“I’m amazed! I totally, 100% recommend Karen Lyu’s voice coaching!”

Devin Brady – Nashville for All of Us former Phonebanking Coordinator, Nashville Obama for President Campaign
(5 tips for phonebankers/speaking by phone/singing basics)

“Voice lessons with Karen Lyu are totally transformative! I have referred many acquaintances and dear friends to her and
in my experience, she consistently connects people with their powerful and authentic voice.”

Lee Truer – TruerDreams life coach, counselor, speaker, professor, artist
(speaking/folk/oldies/pop/vocal health)

“Karen was a fantastic vocal coach and teacher for me. I can’t say enough about the time I was able to spend with her!
I discovered parts of my range I did not know I had, and learned many helpful techniques!”

Jess Doughty – Speak the Word International praise team leader
(gospel/contemporary Christian/pop/rock/country/vocal health)

“Within a few sessions Karen showed me how to expand my range, breathe correctly, and to really learn to use my instrument – my whole body not just those rusty vocal chords. Within a few months I had the confidence to sing to friends and family (and with a waitress at a coffee shop). I love to sing! Now my 19 year-old daughter has been Karen’s student for several weeks. She’s more confident in her singing and speaking voice.
She’s having fun and really owns the sense of competence she’s developing. You’ll be amazed!”

Maureen Heinen – Send in Maureen personal organizer
(speaking/folk/jazz/pop/vocal health)

“It is fun to have lessons with Karen! As an international student, I am getting three things at the same time -
good English pronounciation, good vocal tone and joy!”

Shino Takayama – former international student and teaching assistant University of Minnesota
(speaking/oldies, J-pop, Broadway)

“Taking lessons from Karen has been one of the best choices of my life. I always have fun learning from her. She listens to the things I want to accomplish and helps me reach them.
I now have over a four octave range, this makes me more than happy!
I would recommend Karen to any one that wants to learn to sing.”

Rachel Wood – 15 year-old singer/songwriter ArtsWork performer
(singing, songwriting, vocal health)

“After taking lessons with Karen, I feel confident with my voice and now I do teleclasses all the time. It’s the main way I get new clients!”

Scott Lewis – Focused Business Action life coach and teleclass presenter
(speaking/singing basics/vocal health)

“This was my first teleclass ever – I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was fun. I found myself wishing it lasted a little longer. Karen offers a breadth of knowledge which leaves me feeling hopeful that I will regain my singing voice and that I can be a more powerful speaker in the artistic and business realms. My voice feels clear and open! Thanks Karen!”

Amy Barankovich – Compassionate Kids, creator and educator
(speaking/singing basics/vocal health)

“The biggest thing I got out of the teleclass was how much posture makes a difference, and how to remember good posture with trigger words.
I really enjoyed the experience as much taking a physical class. I loved the comaraderie of being able to share similar issues in a safe, protected environment. I was able to get results that I wasn’t able to get with other teachers! It’s obvious that you put time into developing valuable information for the class and really care about the outcomes of your students!”
