Ellen Renee

Lydia Wryder, Phoenix, AZ

Studying with Ellen was a true game-changer for me. I had worked with several vocal coaches over the years, but it wasn’t until I found Ellen that my voice—and my confidence—really took off. Her performance-based training was exactly what I needed to reach my goal: To perform as the lead singer in a pop/rock cover band. (And yes—I did it!)

Ellen radiates positivity and brings genuine passion to every session. She makes the work fun, challenging, and incredibly rewarding. Thanks to her, I not only improved my technique but also gained the stage presence and self-assurance I’d been missing. I’m so grateful for her coaching, encouragement, and friendship.

I highly recommend!

My daughter and I have worked with Ellen Renee for over 10 years, and the experience has been truly transformative. From the start, she created a warm, supportive space where we could grow both technically and artistically.

Ellen customizes each lesson to our goals. Whether it’s breath control, pitch, tone, or stage presence, her professional guidance has made a lasting difference. She explains techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and always offers encouraging, constructive feedback. Every session leaves us motivated and excited to keep improving.

A personal highlight of my vocal journey was joining a band—an achievement I never thought possible.  Ellen’s expert coaching helped me build the skills and self-assurance I needed to pursue this dream.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ellen to anyone looking to strengthen their voice and take it to the next level. She will meet you where you are and help you grow beyond what you thought possible.

As someone who's been belting it out in bands since the '90s, I wasn’t sure what a vocal coach could really offer me. I came in with years of bad habits and vocal strain.  I wanted to rebuild my technique without losing the grit and soul that makes rock what it is. I like my voice much better now.  

I always feel like an equal. Ellen never makes you feel talked down to. The vibe is super chill, but the work is real. I’ve got better control, way more stamina, and I’m finally singing through a whole set without blowing out my voice. If you're a rock singer who wants to keep doing this for the long haul, she is the real deal.

Ellen is an exceptional coach and even better human being. Her knowledge of expert vocal technique and extensive professional background create the perfect setting conditions for you to achieve success. 

Perhaps her greatest skill is her approachability and ability to remove a vast amount of barriers that hold you back from whatever your vocal dreams are; whether it be a skill, vocal/performance psychology, and/or industry knowledge/connections issue. 

Her alacrity to support your individual needs is balanced by her tenacity to drive you to the best version of yourself.

I love Voice Lessons with Ellen. I feel like I am in a safe, positive space where I can grow as a singer.  

Her technical knowledge is incredible and everything is always clearly explained in a way that makes sense to me. Since I was a beginner when I first started lessons, we worked on vocal basics. Then I learned about all of the vocal techniques that the professionals use. I got to be part of choosing which topic of study was next at each session.  It’s really fun and there is no expectation to be perfect so I can stretch and strengthen my voice without feeling nervous.
