"Your voice has endless potential. Let’s not waste time competing with others and instead discern what’s
incredible about your artistry."

Your voice is your superpower.  There’s only ONE of you on the planet, and your voice is singularly yours. My job is to help you uncover, develop, and nurture that voice in a premiere environment that appeals to singers who are seeking couture voice instruction
 

Couture? Yes, we are fancy around here. You can be fancy, too. And fabulous. You can go beyond the ordinary and become extraordinary. But for that to happen you have to show up for yourself. You have it in you. I am here to prove it to you. Are you ready to claim excellence? Let’s talk.

“Michelle teaches more than vocal technique; she nurtures the artist within each person...her openness to others’ ideas allows her to bring in a variety of guests to work with her students and expand their perspectives. Michelle's positive approach clearly resonates with everyone who works with her.”

Ann Baltz, Former Artistic Director & Founder of OperaWorks™️

Why this studio?

So, I’m a little different. Okay, a lot different. If we work together, we will be working on all of you. We are going to dig deep. No pretension. No preconceived notions. But you can be sure that you and your voice are too important to be treated with anything but the utmost respect and care. Will the work you will need to do be easy? No. Will it be worth it? Absolutely.
 

You are your voice, and we have to address all of you to get to the juicy parts. The parts that make you epic. We are mining for gold, and that requires an unconventional approach that is completely different from what you would find in a typical voice studio. 

That means that we will be working in an atmosphere that includes:

connection    consistency    compassion    vulnerability    humor    patience

“Dr. Latour is a strong technician who understands the importance of inspiring students to be equally passionate about the music, the poetry, and the dramatic presentation. Her impact on me during my graduate studies has profoundly influenced my current teaching style.”

  • Refine what’s already there.

  • Establish repertoire that fits your voice and fills your soul.

  • Untether you from what is holding you back.

  • Set you up for success, joy, and confidence in your voice and yourself.

And we will do this together!
