My Approach
☻
Personalization
Each lesson is tailored to your student’s unique goals. I believe in curating individualized vocal training systems designed to enhance students strengths while targeting areas for growth.
❋
Technique
At the core of each lesson I teach is healthy, efficient vocal function. My teaching is grounded in the Estill Voice Training model emphasizing technical understanding of vocal pedagogy.
✦
Artistry
Drawing from my training in Musical Theatre and American realism acting techniques, I aim to help students bridge the gap between voice and truthful acting, allowing my students to become more authentic artists.
✿
Connection
I cultivate a supportive environment that allows students to build confidence, expand their skills, and discover their ultimate artistic potential.
About me!
I am a passionate voice teacher and performer with a lifelong connection to music, nurtured by my mother, who was also my first voice teacher. My teaching is grounded in the Estill Voice Training model and enriched by my study of American realism acting techniques, including the work of Stanislavsky, Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, and Sanford Meisner.
Since beginning my teaching career in 2024, I have built a thriving studio of more than 20 dedicated students. I have also served as a vocal coach for Pioneer High School's Future Stars vocal competition and as a masterclass coach for The Broadway Intensive, led by Broadway performers Chelsea and Geoff Packard.
As a professional actor, I bring real-world performance experience into every lesson. I have performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Stratford Festival, and the Detroit Opera House. Most recently, I appeared as Maureen Johnson in The Encore's 2026 production of RENT.
I am a senior pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from the University of Michigan, with a minor in Musical Theatre Composition.
Whether you're preparing for auditions, developing healthy vocal technique, or growing as an artist, my goal is to provide personalized, supportive training that helps you perform with confidence and authenticity.
Students Say:
“I absolutely love working with Elle! She’s so informative, sweet, and offers constructive feedback so that I’m able to reach my full potential while preparing for auditions. She has not only helped me improve vocally but has also made me more confident with my voice. I’m so happy I’ve been able to work with her!”

Elle is seriously the best! She has helped me grow so much as a singer and performer. Every session feels more like hanging out than a lesson. Elle is encouraging, fun, and always knows how to push me to be my best. She's given me so much confidence, and I really look up to her.
As someone who dreams of going to the University of Michigan Musical Theatre program, getting to learn from someone who's there right now is so inspiring. I love that she's teaching me what she's learning in real time, and I'm so grateful to have her in my corner!
