About SAKI Vocal Studio

Welcome to SAKI Vocal Studio! I am a singer, actor, and vocal instructor based in NYC. I was an adjunct faculty at New York University Vocal Performance program. I received Master in Music and Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy from NYU, and serve as a member of National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and New York Singing Teacher's Association (NYSTA). At New York University, I taught private voice lessons to students from beginner to advanced singers. My goal is to find your "authentic" voice so that you can sing in a healthy and sustainable way across the genres (classical, music theater, pop/rock, R&B/soul, country, etc.) I currently work with various singers like recording artists, singer songwriters, musical theater actors, opera singers, Vtubers, church soloists, voice actors, and etc. If you are interested in Japanese songs (J-POP), I am happy to teach them too. I will cater my lessons to your needs! I also studied voice science (vocology) through the NYU Voice Center under the SLPs and Laryngologists, so I understand how the vocal system works. I will provide explanations that make sense using anatomy and physiology! My teaching style is “tailor-made” for each student and their development. We will find what works best for your instrument. Since singing is a combination of technique and expression, and is very physical and emotional, I aim to help each of my students gain that balance to become an effective communicator and storyteller. In our lessons, we specifically focus on: *Unlocking voice and least amount of work to release "airflow" *Basic fundamentals (breath energy, resonance, and vault/space) *Physicality and acoustics (source/filter balance, alignment) *Musicianship (accuracy, phrasing, reading scores) *Increase the range *Provide a toolbox to adjust their instrument *Making the voice flexible to let dimensions and colors come out *Truthful communication as a storyteller *Audition coaching *Recording or songwriting tips *Joy of singing! I am passionate about teaching and sharing what I have learned as a singer and actor. Most importantly, I create a safe space for you to share your art and inspiration. We will work together to free your voice and open up the world of possibility. Singing is an incredible way to grow confidence even if it's merely a hobby or extra curricular activity! *I currently offer only online lessons. Our lessons are available via Zoom and are possible across all time zones.*

Saki is very personable and attentive to what I was asking for and very patient concerning my lack of knowledge. I definitely recommend her for those who're wanting to start singing with clarity and purpose.

First time using this app. I was a little worried but she was very understanding and worked with me. I felt very nervous at first because it was my first vocal lesson but at the end I felt way more comfortable and confident!

I’ve finished my second session with Saki and I can just say hands down, she is one of the best vocal coaches out there. Not only does she know her stuff, she also knows how to convey it and is able to reframe things until it makes sense to you. She is incredibly patient and her energy really puts you at ease and makes you feel safe. She is a solid choice for anyone wanting to have their lessons translate to actual change and expansion of their vocal technique and ability. She is just amazing!!

Saki is a great teacher who is amazing at adapting to her student's level. She helped me improve my singing a lot, would definitely recommend!

It was very easy to understand instructions. When doing certain exercises she would explain why I was doing it and what it was affecting/helping, which I found extremely helpful. Very happy with the quality of the lesson!

Saki is an absolutely phenomenal teacher. Throughout our lesson she was endlessly patient, encouraging, and responsive. I never felt judged or self-conscious while working with her, and one lesson has already done so much to build my comfort with my voice. I couldn't ask for more from a voice teacher and I am excited to work with Saki in the future.

Saki is the best! She is so intelligent and patient. I know even when I am not doing my best, she is very encouraging. Wow, and she is so knowledgeable. I am learning so much from her lessons. Her price reflects her quality of work. If you want a top-tier vocal trainer, look no further!

Unfortunately due to my own hectic schedule I was only able to participate in one session but it was still 100% worth it regardless. Just within that one session I already noticed a difference in not just my control of my voice but in my confidence as well. It was a great experience!

Saki brings the highest quality vocal instruction to the student.

Debbie B.Sep 2021

Saki is a wonderful teacher. She is patient, knowledgeable, responsive and gives detailed feedback both during and after the lesson. My daughter really enjoys how positive and kind she is in her guidance, and appreciates Saki’s practical advice for adjustments. We have seen real growth in my daughter’s singing. I also really appreciate how flexible Saki is. She works with you at all times to resolve scheduling conflicts and is proactive about confirming all appointments. We have had an incredibly positive experience with her.
