JTP Vocal Studio

Justin and I met 11 years ago, and I was so glad to reconnect with him last year. While I have extensive classical training, after having a baby, I needed help readjusting my support and fine tuning my technique. Justin was patient, and always listening earnestly to my concerns. He seemed to have just the right vocal exercises I needed for whatever we were working on, and his knowledge of opera and classical music is very impressive. I was asked to be part of a concert series this past fall, and with Justin’s help and unwavering encouragement, the program was a success! Thank you for everything!

Justin is such a fantastic teacher! He really understands how to meet people where they are, both in terms of ability and mindset. He is great at helping his students identify what technical and mental aspects are holding them back, then coaching them over those roadblocks. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and personable. I’ve walked out of every lesson feeling good, even after sessions when I struggled, because he has shown me that I can keeping growing and improving. I am so thankful to get to work with him!

Justin has improved my technique and confidence tremendously. He is incredibly approachable, kind and generous. He takes the time to make sure that you understand what he is doing and the reasons behind it. I have always had questions about how my voice works and what makes sense for mixing and belting and Justin has been incredibly patient, knowledgeable and exploratory as he helps me find my most natural voice. While he provides great recommendations for songs to help with your growth, he is also open to any options that singers suggest. I wholly recommend Justin as a fantastic vocal coach who can help with any improvement at all levels.

Justin helps singers to feel confident enough to let themselves be heard. His approach is patient and affirming. He clearly cares about how a singer feels about their voice, and trains the whole artist—not just the voice itself.

Justin is a teacher unlike any that I've worked with previously. In my opinion, his greatest strength is his empathy and his understanding of how psychological issues can affect singing. He is clearly an expert on singing and singing technique due to his background, yet he somehow finds ways to explain singing concepts in the most simplistic and clear way possible. He's also extremely encouraging overall, and he can be quite inspiring when it comes to singing. He's very accommodating when it comes to my own personal singing goals as well which I appreciate very much. He's everything I was looking for in a teacher, and I feel lucky that I found him. Thanks for everything, Justin!

Justin has been so amazing with my daughter. When she started lessons she was very self conscious and had a lot of self doubt. Not only has she gained so much confidence but her voice has developed so much! She has learned so much with him! Thanks Justin for all your dedication!

“Justin is a friendly and engaging coach who focuses on muscle groups of the face and body and things like posture while singing. We also practice technical aspects such as warming up and projection. He has helped me find my range and find my voice overall. As a standup comedian and law student, I have benefited greatly from his tips and tricks from our sessions. Above all, Justin has helped me envision how I want to solidify my voice and find my center so that my expression as a singer is more authentic and all around better. Justin is an encouraging and thoughtful teacher with a sparkling personality. He teaches confidence and in that way I find him to be an empowering, positive mentor!”

I have been in the music industry for 25+ years but never focused on learning how to use my voice correctly. I decided to try Justin's studio with the hopes of expanding my vocal range and what I got was so much more. Justin Pollinger's approach to vocal technique really helps me internalize what needs to happen with my body in order to produce a wide range of vocal timbres and colors. I have been studying with Justin for close to a year and he has helped me to breakdown and explore many of the concerns I had regarding my voice. For instance, I have noticed a drastic change in how I feel vocally AFTER a gig and this is due to the knowledge I gained in the few short months we spent on reducing vocal fatigue. We've also worked extensively on resonance, projection and many other wonderful nuggets you'll have to find out for yourself. I highly recommend Justin Pollinger's studio, you won't regret it!

I work in a field that requires me to use my voice exhaustively 5-6 days a week. Overtime I began to find myself unable to sing well and losing my voice frequently. Luckily I found Justin! He taught me some better breathing techniques and with practice, I haven’t lost my voice since and find myself recognizing and enjoying the timbre in my voice more often. Still much to learn and I’m thankful that I’ve gotten to do it with Justin so far

I have always wanted to sing. But hearing myself sound like a cat being tortured made me shy away. Eventually, mustering up the courage to have a vocal lesson, I found Justin through his great reviews and boy am I glad I did. Expecting to be told after 1 lesson that I was tone deaf and ‘maybe I should look for a new hobby’, he actually told me that I was better than I thought I was. The one thing that really surprised me about Justin’s style of teaching is he didn’t just focus on just my voice, he worked with me on my fears that were stopping me from moving forward. Justin is incredibly patient and, even when you feel like the lesson is just not going your way, he will work with you until you walk away feeling like you achieved something. From hearing my recording on my very first day, to my recording 1 year later – this man deserves a medal. Or the Nobel Peace Prize. You decide.
