You are a singer and the world needs your voice.
Hey, my name is Davin and I’m a voice coach. I help singers all over the world find healing and transformation with their voice and subsequently, their life.
You’ve likely found your way here because you feel stuck and know your voice can do more.
Perhaps you are frustrated and dissatisfied with the sound of your voice.
Or, you struggle to sing and express yourself with freedom, confidence and ease.
Insecurities around your voice stifle your creativity and inhibit how you are able to show up.
Maybe you’ve experienced trauma, injury or loss that has negatively impacted your unique voice.
You might have been to other voice teachers and coaches, unable to get the results you want.
Sound like you?
Your voice can do more and I can help.
For more than 20 years, I have coached singers around the globe, just like you, in virtual one-to-one voice coaching to move through fear, frustration and overall stuckness into unabashed, liberated, embodied singing… and living.
This work isn’t just about singing, it’s about you.
See, when you uncover and discover your freest and most authentic voice, inevitably, you uncover and discover your freest and most authentic life.
It’s a bold claim, I know, but I’ve seen it happen time and time again.
My friend, are you ready?
Are you ready to create real, lasting change in your voice and in your life?
Are you ready to finally get free?
Are you ready to sing?
Let’s begin your voice journey.
I’ve worked with some amazing clients.
Here are some of their stories.
Tim McIlrath, Lead Singer, Rise Against
“I never anticipated being a professional vocalist so I never really took the time to hone my craft. No one would ask an athlete to train without a coach and it’s the same with singing. Before meeting with Davin not only did I not know what I was doing wrong, but I didn’t even know what I was doing right. In his friendly but direct way, he helped me find a renewed confidence, passion, and enthusiasm for singing.”
Michele Thomas, Jazz Singer and Voice Teacher
"I’ve been performing and teaching professionally for many years and have worked with several vocal teachers, some of whom helped me greatly in preserving my voice. But, never have I experienced such a rapid change in my overall vocal function until I worked with Davin. I just had one session with him, and I experienced a breakthrough in my sound that I had never encountered before. After listening to my voice objectively, he worked to balance my registers and help me identify what felt good in my singing. This went a long way in revealing my true sound, which was liberating! Davin couples his deep knowledge of the vocal mechanism with an immense compassion for the singer. This assures transformative experience for whomever comes in contact with his work. I consider him the “voice whisperer.””
Brady Tilghman, Chicago Public Schools Teacher
“I reached out to Davin in 2016 while struggling to embrace the challenges presented by life as an attorney at a stereotypical litigation firm. As I told it, a new hobby would provide a welcome distraction, and I knew I could carry a tune. As it turned out, I was grasping for something else entirely: confidence in expressing my authentic self. While Davin taught me to sing, I learned how to voice my character; to interrogate the tension between what I believed and what came out of my mouth. Davin - without using techniques typical of more traditional therapists - provided the space to literally, and figuratively, find my voice. And, to be sure, singing with Davin was fun! Four years later, in large part because of Davin, I'm a better singer and a happier person. It's no coincidence I've found a new career, partner, and work-life balance that makes me happy.”
Julie Badel, Retired Attorney
“Davin is nothing short of a miracle worker. Since childhood, I believed (and was told) that I was tone deaf. After attending an open house at Davin’s studio, I asked him if he could teach tone deaf people to sing. He said, “Sure.” That started a journey that changed my life. With great patience and lots of encouragement, Davin taught me to carry a tune. Now I sing with a chorus and can’t begin to envision a life without singing.”
Ala Yousef, Arabic Singer and Oud Player
“For many years I have been singing classical Arabic music and playing Oud, first in Jordan and then in the US. I would perform for hours at a time and developed bad habits. As a result, in 2019 I had vocal cord surgery. Afterwards, my voice did not feel the same. It was not clear like in the past and I was scared I would not get it back. I stopped singing altogether. This is when I met Davin. He helped me learn the meaning of balance not only in my voice, but in how I practice and perform. He also showed me my head voice. After just a few sessions, I regained my confidence and went back to performing. Davin has a beautiful soul and is a great supporter.”
Beth Kuhn, Actor, Singer, Comedian
“For years, my voice was constrained and inconsistent. I was easily frustrated and often considered giving up singing entirely. Davin helped change this by encouraging me to acknowledge the role that stress, anxiety, relationships, and confidence play into the sounds I make. He also helped me better connect my voice to the rest of the body. Davin’s coaching consists of a unique blend of technical training and self-discovery. Transforming my voice has meant transforming my understanding of why I sing.”
