“Jeanie has been a wonderful guide in helping me prepare vocally to take the stage as Anya in Anastasia.”

Christy Altomare

Anya in Anastasia (Broadway)

“I have worked with Jeanie LoVetri and Somatic Voicework™ for twenty years and have found her method to be incredibly efficient and scientifically sound.

I have been able to consciously work on technique while continuing to develop my artistry and my personal style. I credit Jeannie with the freedom I feel when I sing.”

“Jeanie LoVetri’s has given me the tools to navigate between different styles and extended vocal techniques, and taught me how to teach with clarity and understanding of the human voice.

Her approach is clear, concise, empathetic and invaluable for any jazz singer today. “

Theo Bleckmann

Grammy™ nominated singer, composer and arranger. Professor of Jazz Voice at Manhattan School of Music.

“Jeanie LoVetri’s groundbreaking training methods put the singer’s actual voice and what she or he wants to achieve front and center.

Her sincere belief that you can make any sound you want in a healthy way is guided by over four decades of research and experience teaching singers of all styles.

Ms. LoVetri welcomed me into the world of voice pedagogy and showed me how to develop my voice to realize my dreams as a singer. It has literally taken me around the world and introduced me to so many wonderful people, and I am forever grateful.”

“Jeanie is an absolute lifesaver for the Broadway singer. She knows what it takes to keep the voice healthy and maintain longevity but still meet the high energy demands of today’s Broadway shows. I would have never made it through 8 shows a week as Maureen in RENT without her!”

Carla Bianco

Maureen in RENT (Broadway)

“As a working jazz singer, I have been hired to sing with a tap dancing troupe one week and the next week sing soprano in a jazz opera.

Jeanie has been an invaluable resource in the functional development of my instrument and has helped me steadily increase the power, clarity and nuance of my voice.”

Kate McGarry

Jazz Artist. Grammy™ Nominee, State Dept Jazz Ambassador 2009 -2011, Downbeat Critics Poll Winner Rising Female Vocalist 2016

“As someone with background in classical (Juilliard, BM, MM) and a 20 year career as a jazz singer, I can attest to the great benefits of understanding the function based technique that Jeanie teaches for Contemporary Commercial Music.

This technique has given me the tools to sing and teach authentically in the jazz world.”

“Studying with Jeanie LoVetri has changed my life as a singer and a singing teacher.

The depth and breadth of Jeanie’s knowledge are unassailable, and she passes that knowledge along with the utmost humanity. I have just one regret, which is that I didn’t start working with her sooner.”
