TESTIMONIALS

  • “Kyle is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is always helping his students to embrace their natural talents and to expand their capabilities as artists.”

    Jasmine Aiyanna Garvin

    TV: Poker Face “Ep 7, Katy Owens”

    Theatre: Sunken Cathedral “Red Knight”

  • “Working with Kyle gave me a solid foundation in vocal technique and an understanding of my own voice that I have repeatedly gone back to. In addition to technique, we also focused on the craft of storytelling through song and how to perform authentically. After working with Kyle, I feel that I am not only a better singer but a better musician and a stronger performer.”

    Kathryn Mayer

  • “Kyle is an incredible teacher. I love his approach to teaching voice. He has helped me immensely with my technique as a singer but also my performance as an actress. I apply what I have learned from him to all of my work moving forward. His knowledge is admirable.”

    Samantha Fierro

    NYC Actress

  • “I started voice lessons with Kyle as a confident actor but an extremely self-conscious singer. From day one, I felt absolutely supported and encouraged by him, especially on the days I didn't believe in myself. I can't express how pivotal he has been in developing my career. I've completely transformed in both vocal ability and self-confidence and now proudly consider myself an actor and singer.”

    Charlotte Banks

    Actress

  • “Kyle Norris is one of my favorite teachers I’ve ever had. Not only did he take my vocal abilities to the next level, but he also helped me understand what it means to be a professional.”

    Rachel Leyser

    NYC Actress

  • “I have seen myself grow exponentially as a singer and storyteller since I started working with Kyle three years ago. From giving me the technical tools to keep my voice healthy to helping me explore different styles and colors of my voice and find material that shows off my strongest points, I can't thank him enough. His professional standards prepared me for the industry and pushed me to a new level of artistry.“
