I’m Joanna Cazden: voice teacher, musician, and vocal wellness advocate certified by the Performing Arts Medicine Association. I’ve worked with singers and actors in every genre, public speakers, and everyday talkers from every walk of life. I’m up to date on v know how to communicate simply and holistically, to help you sound your personal best.
I’ve been a vocal arts teacher for decades, a lifelong musician cross-trained in theater arts and many body-mind modalities. I worked for 18 years as a speech therapist at a major voice clinic in Los Angeles, helping people from many cultures and backgrounds including artists with severe medical problems. I can’t say I’ve “heard it all” because every voice is unique and I haven’t yet heard YOU! But I’ve probably worked with someone like you. Whether your voice isn’t serving what you need it to do, or you’re an experienced vocalist seeking a fresh start or tuneup, I’m happy to help.
Joanna Cazden is one of the premier vocal trainers for professional voice users.
—Kay Meyer, Voice and Speech Consultant
An eclectic background means that I don’t believe in one solution for everyone. Instead, my goals are to understand your needs, customize exercises and other suggestions for your voice, explain things in simple terms, and generally to work with you to create the best possible sound, stamina, range, and expressiveness.
