DANIELLE AMEDEO
Voice & Singing Technician
YOUR BEST VOICE
I help students of all ages and experience levels learn to sing, build confidence and consistency as a performer, and develop a greater ease of personal expression. My expertise is in musical theater and contemporary, commercial music styles. Work will be grounded in physicality and mindfulness, and supported by the latest in voice science research.
ABOUT ME
I have a Master's Degree in Voice Pedagogy and certification in the Alexander Technique. I have taught working and aspiring professionals in musical theater and the radio music industry since 2010. My teaching is evidence-based and incorporates physicality, acting, and mindfulness work.
VOICE LESSONS
Together, we’ll work on tone quality, range and agility, pitch precision, stylistic choices, confidence building, and personal expression. Each lesson includes a warmup, skill building work, and application to repertoire of your choice. Depending on your goals, we can also look at building out audition materials, acting through song, mic and A/V practice, and more.
SCIENCE-BASED TECHNIQUES
I am a singing science nerd and I LOVE to spread my knowledge and make this mysterious instrument more accessible to everyone. My technique is based on an understanding of anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, and evidence-backed pedagogical approaches. My experience in teaching mindfulness and somatics work means that I can draw from many different areas to help you succeed.

Our work together was invaluable. Thank you, Danielle, with all my love and gratitude.
MUSICAL THEATER
Broadway aspiring and professional actors
The majority of my voice students are New York actors, on- and off-Broadway, and aspiring college-students in musical theater programs. All of my theater students work on belt, mix and legit singing and learn how to make stylistic choices that are appropriate to the song and character being portrayed. Lessons will include audition preparation and coaching, choosing repertoire and performance coaching.
RECORDING ARTISTS
Refine your performance style. Make it sustainable.
Professional recording artists should perform with consistency on the road and in the studio. If you're still developing your voice and performance style, then lessons will uncover more options, colors, textures and range to explore. We can craft lessons around your goals and refine your own your own material.
BEGINNERS WELCOME
Everyone can sing (I promise, really!), so let's have some fun.
Whatever your goals and interests, we can have fun together on your journey towards increased skill and confidence. Some of my novice students have produced albums and started performing regularly, while others have found more joy in Karaoke nights with friends.
Alexander Technique for Singers
How can it help?
Breath Support
Tension
Sing longer phrases with volume and consistency by addressing foundational issues of breath support and coordination.
Tension affects the quality of your tone and limits range and breath capacity. Alexander Technique addresses the root of tension and sets the voice free.
This mindfulness practice will calm and quiet a hyperactive nervous system, improving chronic anxiety and reducing performance jitters.
Performance Anxiety
Coordination
Your body is intrinsic to your art. If you're struggling to deliver your best performance because of physical limitations, Alexander Technique can help. That's why the best conservatories globally incorporate this work in their curriculum.
Endurance
A full day in the recording studio and gigs every night. Your voice and body will have the stamina to make it through to your finale.
“Hawke expertly captures Baker’s angular fragility, both in his languidly crumpled face and his voice – and what a voice Hawke turns out to have, full of uninsistent, weather-beaten yearning."
— Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
