About
Improve and enjoy the process in no time with my patient and friendly teaching style! I'm a graduate of Berklee College of Music and have over 20 years of experience as a songwriting and vocal coach in commercial genres such as rock, pop, jazz, country, and blues. Whether in person or online, all levels are welcome to learn effective techniques to bring lyrics to life and captivate your listeners. Additionally, I offer safe coaching on how to sing with grit if that's what interests you.

I've trained with renowned vocal coaches like Judith Rabinovitch, Corlynn Hanney, and Renee Grant Williams, among others, who worked with singers like Sarah McLachlan, Leonard Cohen, and Carrie Underwood. My students include members of The Avett Brothers touring band, singer-songwriter Chase McGill, and upcoming artists like Cassandra Sotos and Devon Gilfilian. Are you ready to start your vocal journey? Let's sing together!

Gwen's voice lessons provided me with an amazing experience. She has a friendly and approachable personality, making it easy to communicate with her. Gwen's expertise in her craft was evident throughout the lesson, which flowed effortlessly. Regardless of what you need to work on, she can easily tailor the lesson to suit your requirements. Whether you are a seasoned performer or a beginner like me, I wholeheartedly recommend her. The lesson fees are reasonable, and the guidance is extremely beneficial. I learned a lot on my first day, which has already improved my singing abilities. In fact, I intend to make her my regular vocal coach as I trust her entirely. Gwen's the real deal!

As I browsed the widely-read neighborhood list serve in east Nashville, I frequently came across the name Gwen Holt. Her consistent and regionally focused advertising indicated that she was approachable and professional, and having graduated from Berklee and spent many years in the field, her training was top notch. When I finally met Gwen at a local party, I felt as though I was catching up with a long-time, warm and friendly gal pal - someone I had been eager to meet and who quickly became a new friend. When it came time for Eight O'Five Jive to record a new CD, I knew that Gwen would be the perfect vocal coach for me. Not only did she contribute killer saxophone licks at the live-release party and provide arrangements on several numbers, but she gradually listened in and guided me through any trouble spots, making me feel more comfortable behind the recording microphone. Gwen's focus is on extracting the best range in the right places, while helping to create the intended expression within a phrase or end-note. She instills achievable building blocks that provide ease and confidence to the artist and the entire project. Working with Gwen is an absolute joy. Proof of that is the vast number of talented rising stars who flock towards her hip and easy way of connecting people to do great things. Gwen's clients never fade away; instead, outdated methods of vocal coaching are transformed into enjoyable discoveries of better habits. Her heart is fully committed to your success, always seeking to provide fresh, rejuvenating, sustainable, and inspirational guidance - no matter if you're an old or new hat, whether you're behind a microphone, on stage, or delivering a soliloquy, technical journal or rock 'n roll opus. If you're seeking any of that, it's time to find it - maybe even all over again. Lee Shropshire Baltimore MD
