A freaking force who actually wants you to win.
If you’re looking for a voice teacher who’s not just about hitting the right notes but about elevating your entire career, look no further than Katy. She is a powerhouse of support, expertise, and advocacy, and I’m beyond grateful to have her as a part of my journey. As someone who is constantly on tour and has a jam-packed schedule when I’m back in NYC, Katy has been a true lifesaver. She makes sure every session is time well spent, whether we’re picking up right where we left off or tailoring lessons to address the specific needs of my upcoming show or auditions. I never feel like I’m starting from scratch—every lesson is a building block that continues to push me forward. But Katy is more than just a voice teacher—she’s a mentor, a career coach, and a friend who’s always got your back. Her guidance has made me a smarter auditioner, helped revamp my book, and given me the confidence to tackle various genres with ease. And let’s not forget her incredible knack for connecting people. She’s always looking for ways to introduce you to industry professionals or fellow students who can help you grow. The opportunities she creates, whether through her own network or her non-profit work, have been invaluable. She’s not just teaching voice; she’s teaching you how to navigate and thrive in this crazy business we’re in. Katy is a constant source of encouragement and wisdom, and her unwavering belief in my potential has played a huge role in the success I’ve had so far. Every song choice, every lesson, every career conversation has contributed to making me a stronger, more confident actor. Katy is a true force in the industry, and I’m incredibly lucky to have her as a part of my journey to building a long-term, abundant career. Thank you, Katy, for being the guiding light that keeps me moving forward!

Guiding light to my natural voice
Being a hearth and a guide for my natural voice, Katy has helped me immensely in finding my natural form of expression through singing and sound, as well as my art and myself through life coaching. As an actor with extensive training in Linklater, Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique, Katy has helped me meld all of that together in a way that makes sense for natural and performance-caliber singing in a practical and effective way that feels like honoring my truest self while living and sounding fully through music. With a full heart, and a generous soul, Katy has also always been an incredible support to me as a burgeoning artists making sense of the world from a professional and a human perspective. I’ve never felt so at home and so excited with my growth as a singer, actor, artist and human being. I’m eternally grateful for the lessons and the support she has given me throughout our time working together and for seeing me like no one else. Lessons with Katy have been like going back into the womb to reconnect with myself: nothing in the world matters except my life and my art during the sessions. That level of focus is sublime for discovery and fosters deep learning through higher awareness.

Katy is incredible!
When I started with Katy, I came in with a plan for my book, my brand, and the upcoming audition season that she was eager to help me work on. She talked through my goals with me, asked me what I liked about singing, and integrated exercises into our routine to help me refine the legit parts of my voice. I'm only 10 sessions in and my confidence and abilities feel next level. I'm excited to work on new songs and I've shifted from old habits of micromanaging my sound to trusting my instrument. I've happily taken advantage of this momentum and continue to evolve as I bring my work into new rooms. Aside from expanding my technique, Katy also helps me strategize for my career. We collaborate on targeting roles that I'm right and plan for inevitable auditions and callbacks by working the material in advance. She understands what casting professionals want and is particularly adept at crafting unique audition cuts that stand out in the room -- CDs have already commented on how great they are! Finally, I can't emphasize enough how genuinely positive she is. Katy comes from a place of possibility that isn't jaded by the challenges of this industry. She always has a 'let's get you where you want to be' attitude which shapes my own feelings of possibility for myself. I feel confident that when I confront an obstacle, I'll move through it with grace and come out for the better. Katy provides singers with a safe space to expand their skills and identity as musicians and I can't wait to see what happens next in our work together!

The best coach for singing & LIFE!
I came to Katy for the first time with years of tension and mental blocks that I was desperate to shed, and feeling so stuck in my career. I am so glad I did. Katy's holistic approach immediately resonated with me - she has not only given me technical tools to unlock a new confidence in my voice, but has also changed my MINDSET and empowered me to approach my career with capability and confidence! I have walked into her studio feeling stressed about an audition song and left in less than an hour 100% certain I'm going to nail it. That's the magic of Katy - I know I am going to leave feeling better & more confident than when I walked in. She's compassionate, joyful, and truly cares. She is also an incredibly insightful mentor and is spot-on with industry knowledge and advice. It has been such a gift to have her in my corner!!!

Run, don’t walk to a lesson with Katy Pfaffl
Working with Katy the last few years has the best decision of my life. My lessons with her have been the reason I’ve been able to go from just someone with a dream, to someone who is making that dream a reality. Yes she is my voice coach, but she is so much more than that. She is my mentor, my home base and my safe space, my biggest cheerleader, my friend. The progress I have made with my vocal technique and in my life quite simply would not have been possible without her. She helped me find my voice when I didn’t think I even had one, and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found her and her studio. I’m no longer just a dancer who sings, I’m a confident performer with the tools I need to be successful.

Katy is the real deal!!
She has helped me rediscover my authentic voice and claim my power inside and outside of the audition room. When I started with Katy, I had so much tension in my face and body and I didn’t like any of the songs in my book. She has helped me to eliminate tension in less than a year, and rebuild my book with songs I love that represent ME and my true essence! Singing has never been more enjoyable and FUN. Her incredible knowledge about the industry has positively reframed my relationship to my craft and tremendously improved the confidence and ease I bring into auditions. She has changed my life for the better and I couldn’t be happier to have found her. She has the biggest heart and truly wants to see you succeed. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone wishing to take their voice, life, and career to the next level!!
