Ann is such an amazing vocalist and teacher. She’s able to quickly identify your strong and weak spots and directs practice to work on areas, tailored to your voice. She has a ton of experience teaching and is very straightforward and pleasant to work with. I started out with no experience and it’s unbelievable how far my voice has come in 6 weeks

About I’m in San Francisco- Ann Souren Voice Studio
Hi, my name is Ann Souren. I specialize in contemporary singing styles. I address the individual needs of students and tailor my lessons to meet their needs. The lessons are dynamic, fun, and extremely time-efficient. I aim for results, and I guarantee results. Most of my students feel the difference even after the first session. It usually takes me just 2-3 months to turn a complete beginner into a singer. I strongly believe that with the right teacher anyone who can speak and has an ear for music can become a singer. I have 20 years of experience as a vocal coach and more than 35 years experience as a professional singer/recording artist, singing on stages of different caliber, as well as in the studio. I know what it takes to become an outstanding performer. I have performed with various live bands, orchestras, big bands and shared the stage with Grammy award winners Yolanda Adams, Diane Schuur, Patti Austin, Richard Marx, Leo Sayer and many more. I'm passionate about sharing all of my knowledge and experience with students who are ready to take their first steps into the music industry, or hobbyists, who simply love music and singing. I helped thousands of people around the world learn how to sing or improve their existing singing technique. It makes me so happy to see how my students grow with every lesson. I love to inspire people! It's such a wonderful and rewarding feeling to know that you have helped so many people realize their dreams! I equally enjoy teaching complete beginners, amateurs and professional singers.

I had literally never sung before and had no idea how to use my voice, even when it came to changing my tone while just talking. I couldn't project it tell either, and would NEVER dare sing karaoke or sing along to a radio song. In just a month, I already feel vastly more confident in singing and I can actually do a couple songs now and understand so much more about how to use my voice. Ann used many exercises and taught me techniques to open up my voice and I can hardly believe the difference already. I can't wait to see how much more I will grow as a singer with Ann!
Ann has been an excellent singing teacher! She made scheduling and payment easy and she is a deeply knowledgeable, effective teacher with tons of teaching experience across a wide variety of students.
Ann has an incredible amount of high-stakes experience in the arts and singing showcases/ performances. This is the most valuable thing a singing teacher can bring to me as a student. On top of that, she is extremely personable and creates a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere to work in— something critical in such a vulnerable activity. She has a toolkit full of techniques to share and apply in a very adaptive and personalized way that brings me as a student a lot of confidence that I will grow with her help. I’m looking forward to future sessions with Ann!
The first class is already amazing! Ann is super nice and patient while teaching, and she is able to spot my weakness immediately which is really helpful. Would highly recommend!
Ann is a joy to work with, very highly recommended. She is a wonderful coach, and very dedicated to her practice. I am grateful that I found her, and look forward to working together continually.
Ann is a great voice teacher. I feel my singing voice is stronger and more confident after just a few months of lessons. She has a very wide range of experience and helped me with genres ranging from children's music to pop music. She really listened to my voice during lessons and could diagnose trouble spots to work on, and then would have an exercise to help iron out the issue. During the lesson I feel like she is my personal advocate, while still giving honest feedback. She also challenged me to unlock new registers in my voice that I didn't think were possible before. Overall a great experience.
I already learnt so much in the first lesson with Anne. She is experienced, patient, talented and honest. I wanted a teacher who can really elevate my skills and I believe I have found the perfect teacher for me. Looking forward to many more lessons with her.
I knew I wanted to continue working with Ann after our first session. I was simply looking for a teacher that can help me improve in karaoke and belting out my favorite songs at home, but I didn’t expect to find a new self-care practice! Ann is so affirming and generous with her sessions, she really takes the time to understand what’s going on with my voice. I felt comfortable with her right away and my confidence is soaring. If you’re like me and have been thinking about talking singing lessons “just for fun,” you will not regret booking Ann!
Great teacher, the lessons are always fun and Ann is super attentive.
