“Not being a singer, I was skeptical of what these lessons would be able to do for me.  Wow.  My lessons with Ingrid gave me a sense of confidence that I had lost a long time ago.  Ingrid is such an incredible teacher.  Her patience and expertise made the exploration of the power of voice one that has truly changed me fundamentally.  My awareness of my voice as an instrument and the knowledge of how to use it in any setting now allows me to feel open, grounded and proud.  I can’t thank her and her method enough.”

“Can I sing? What’s my range? What does range even mean?  These questions that initially fueled my interest in seeking Ingrid out became the starting point to a deeply rewarding exploration of my voice and the psychology behind how I unconsciously shaped it over decades.  The realization that I speak in a low monotone often cutting off air and gripping my jaw led to a startling awareness of how much this has affected my emotional health, the way I’m perceived by others and the moods of those around me.  Ingrid created a safe space and provided guidance on how to begin the journey of detangling and deconstructing these learned mental and linguistic patterns while also shining a light on insecurities that needed attention.  Through her unique “Controlled Relaxation” training method, she helped me tap in to my true authentic voice, full of pitches, range, vulnerability and hope.  I left every session in a heightened state of joy from laughter, high notes, insights and unabashedly singing for the first time in my life.  Curiosity called me to Ingrid.  Gratitude kept me coming back.”

“One of the best things in life is finding a guide who is the right fit at the right time. I sought out Ingrid for three reasons: 1) I had developed some lazy vocal habits Zooming so much during the pandemic, 2) for several months my throat had been hurting in a particular place after a few hours of coaching clients, and 3) I needed to increase my vocal stamina in anticipation of an audiobook recording. Ingrid, of course, helped me noticeably improve in all three areas and she taught me tools and techniques that I can continue as a practice. All of that was great, but not surprising. What surprised and delighted me was how adept Ingrid is at creating a safe container for our work – she was fully present and supportive during those moments when deeper stuff came to the surface as I reconnected with my voice. She’s a pro.”

“Training with Ingrid is a gift to my artistic journey. It has allowed me to find greater emotional depth and confidence in my instrument as an actress.

Ingrid’s approach to vocal development and empowerment is truly unique with a set of tools that I’ve learnt with no other coach. These tools are very specific, easy to integrate into a routine and transformative. Ingrid’s enormous passion and commitment to supporting artists plays also an important part in this magical process.

Thank you so much.”

“And I have finished recording my audiobook.  I tried going slow—and lifting my voice a bit at the end of sentences whenever possible (not always possible) and I managed five additional three-hour recording sessions (with just one fifteen-minute break midway through each) with little problem.  It sure pays to ask a master voice teacher for a tip!  Thank you so much again!  The audiobook will come out some time in November.  I’ll let you know!”

“This woman is amazing and you will benefit in every way after she teaches you how to communicate.  I have seen great things happen!”

“Dear Ingrid, Thank you so much for working with the OppNet students the past 3 weeks. Your coaching, advice and guidance will undoubtedly be hugely helpful as these students continue to grow as professionals. I’m blown away by your insight, patience, and energy!! We were so lucky to have you this year.”

“Ingrid is an outstanding vocal and speech coach. She cares about her students and puts 100% into each session. I have seen fantastic results in audience reaction to my speeches since studying with her. I could not recommend anyone more highly.”

“Working with Ingrid, I developed vocal and presentation skills, as well as more confidence. I quickly felt the difference and got positive feedback from my coworkers, confirming the difference!”

“I knew well the importance of breathing to well-being, and taking it one step further, poise and self-confidence. But I couldn’t muster the discipline to change my ways until Ingrid Saxon set it to music. I took two of her workshops and it made an extraordinary difference. The sessions were fun, the students diverse and I learned a great deal that I continue to apply today. I also enjoy singing in a way I never did before now that I can hit a few more notes.”

“I can’t thank Ingrid enough for her wonderful coaching to help me improve my voice. I came to Ingrid feeling that my voice would always be strained and unheard whenever I needed to speak with volume. I’m a firefighter who needs to be heard over loud equipment and now, not only do I have the skill and strength to project my voice, I also have the confidence that I will be heard when I need to be heard. What a relief this is! In working with Ingrid, I also learned to sing notes on pitch. This is something I never, ever thought I would be able to do!! Ingrid has opened up a whole new world to me by showing me what is possible with my voice and increasing my confidence when speaking to others. Ingrid’s knowledge and passion for her work is evident in every lesson and her enthusiasm is contagious; I would often go into my ‘last’ lesson with her only to be so energized and excited by the progress that we were making that I would sign up for more lessons. My work with Ingrid has been an extremely enjoyable experience.”

“I met the Ingrid Saxon on an Elevator in 2008. I was about to perform for the first time and was petrified. She helped draw me out of one of my shyest times and empower my voice beyond its musical qualities, which were magnified by her work, but she helped build my confidence to know that my voice had staying power. Ingrid nurtured the performer I hoped was in there somewhere and help me share “her” with others. These are tools that have stayed with me as a speaker and teacher. I will always be grateful that Ingrid believed in me when I just needed that nudge forward. She is the best there is in her industry, and I’m so blessed by the one elevator ride that led me to her. I love you, Ingrid!”

“I met Ingrid at a networking event some time ago and she was so excited about her craft as a presentational vocal coach, that I asked her to teach a class for a group of 40 entrepreneurs on how to present like a pro, which everyone’s exceptions were exceeded because of her delivery, skill and energy/passion. 

I also hired Ingrid for several one-on-one sessions because I had a number of speaking engagements and wanted do a good job on each. Ingrid is great at teaching people how to be great presenters/performers. She is also very fun and she really cares about her clients. As a result of working with her I delivered GREAT presentations at each of my speaking engagements. Thank You Ingrid. 

I look forward to working with Ingrid again.”

“I have attended Ingrid’s Vocal Classes to improve my basic communication skills for my business purposes. I received lot of feedback from my manager earlier around my communication, as at initial meetings, I was not always understood by Americans. This was somewhat attributed to my Indian Origin. After attending Ingrid’s classes for approx 3 months, I got lot of positive feedback around my communication. Now people (and most importantly my American Clients) were able to understand me at first go. I am able to make more impact in my discussions with Clients. Ingrid is very helpful and very encouraging. Her techniques really work. And most importantly she knows what she teaches. Attending Ingrid’s Classes seems like one of the most important decisions of my life which I took at right moment. I really enjoyed the time I spent during our sessions and really learned a lot from the sessions. I have made a great start on this journey and now I have to go on and on….Thanks Ingrid for all your help. I will relish the time we spent together for long time.”
