Kristin has "diagnosed" the strengths and weaknesses of my voice and "prescribed" vocal and postural exercises and techniques that have made my voice stronger, clearer and more beautiful than I thought it could be. Her use of imagery, her obvious passion for teaching and her extensive academic research of the voice combine for a transformative learning experience.
