Ryan Goessl - Baritone

"Ryan was the first person to understand me when I described my issues in voice acting; it was a true 'aha' moment. It felt good to finally meet someone who could help me fix what no one else could ever hear.  Our sessions are not easy but they are diversified and creative. Ryan is not an indulgent ‘cheerleader’; rather, he is a dedicated ‘teacher’, and he maintains balance in his praise and criticism, something few teachers can achieve with grace. I leave class feeling tired but substantially more confident. As confidence is priceless to me, Ryan's lessons have become invaluable. He asks that a student do work on their own time; we have a ‘study one hour formally, practice 3 on your own’ policy, but every lesson involves at least one small victory and I have never left Ryan feeling like I did not take something away for the week. For me, he’s an irreplaceable resource and a source of positivity."

"While his list of credentials display that he is a devoted master of the voice, they do not prove that he has that rare ability to teach it.  I suggest Ryan to every aspiring vocalist I meet, from the straining beginner to the experienced professional.  He is exceptional at helping the student understand what it is that can be improved, and then showing him or her a clear and intuitive way to make that improvement.  Ryan has absolutely contributed to my success as both a performer and studio artist over the year we worked together."
