​

Author of Of Course You Can Sing!, Michelle Cohen believes that music can create the universal sound of oneness. Placing music to prayer is how she interprets spiritual forms of chanting. When singing or chanting during yoga, this resonance, tone and vibration brings a clarity, calm and connection to your inner self as well as those around you. 

​

Michelle has been an adjunct member of faculty at several acting schools, including NYU and a professional performer since childhood. She has taught all levels of singers from the shy karaoke dreamer to Broadway performers and from kids to adults. 

​

In this workshop, you will explore:

• How to breathe for better support

• Placement of sound in the body and face

• Deeper connection to the chants you are singing

• How to use consonants and vowels to better effect

• A simple, revolutionary practice that erases stress and boosts confidence

 

 

Michelle is dedicated to the joy of singing – so be prepared to laugh a lot and surprise yourself with sudden, seemingly miraculous transformations in your voice and practice!

​

“Michelle’s wonderful gift is her ability to tuck all of her technical understanding of the voice into a package full of love, humor, and the joy of making music. Years after working with her, I still rely on the images she gifted to me as her student.” – Steven Spraragen, Associate Director, Playwrights Horizons Theater School (affiliate of NYU/Tisch Undergraduate Drama)
