Who We Are

We gather the inspiration of a community voice studio and streamline it directly to your space with all of the simplicity, ease, and power of modern technology.

In operation since 2015 and formally founded as WD Studio in 2021, we proudly serve singers of all ages and abilities as they discover and pursue their vocal goals. We empower new singers to explore their instrument and inspire experienced vocalists to achieve their greatest potential.

With science to support our methods and an active presence in professional voice organizations, our work is training you can trust.

Our Guiding Beliefs

Everyone who has a voice is a singer.

Every singer can learn to sing better.

Better singing feels free, powerful, and authentic.

We learn to sing better by exploring the physical, mental, and emotional systems that impact our voices.

Great singing requires great tools from informed and nurturing instructors.

Meet your Team.

 

The WD Studio Team consists of passionate, professional, and innovative artists in the fields of vocal performance and pedagogy.

We are active performers who practice what we preach by continuing to perform, train, and grow.

Our Philosophy: Individuality Fuels Collaboration.

At WD Studio, we believe in providing the best instruction that will empower our students to access their authentic artistry. Unlike other training programs, we don’t stop at individual growth. Our studio is designed for collaboration. Through studio performances, group discussions, and guest workshops, we aim to build a community that learns, grows, and performs together.

Collaboration is the most essential, most unique, and most rewarding aspect of music. The shine of the spotlight can feel exhilarating, but what ultimately draws us to performing is the sense of community that arises out of a shared artistic purpose.

However, music can become isolating as our training intensifies. In voice lessons, we are focused solely on our own voice and our individual growth. While this time for inward focus is essential, what purpose does our craft serve without collaboration?

True artistry requires collaboration, and effective collaboration requires individuality.

Here, we foster each student’s individuality and the collaboration that it inspires.
