Fear of singing out loud but want to be able to sing without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed? Or see singing as a form of therapy you want to tap into but don’t know where to start? Me too.
I took a trip to NYC for a week looking for an outlet to dust the cobwebs off my voice; having done a lot of different kinds of mind and body healing, it felt like a missing therapeutic element to me to begin singing to express myself authentically. In times of prolonged stress and mental chatter it’s not easy to find that clear, steady, confident singing voice when it’s so out of practice and may feel out of reach.
Gabriel can help to excavate your voice no matter how buried or fledgling it may feel. You can start very simply just by making sounds, and build from there. I can’t recommend Gabriel highly enough!
This was my first lesson with Gabriel. I was nervous due to several factors like my insecurities with my voice, never having taken a lesson before, and me simply second guessing myself but Gabriel from the first few minutes of the lesson put me at ease.
He made me feel extremely comfortable, not only listened but made me feel heard. I knew after the lesson that I want to continue working with him as my vocal coach.
Not only did he make me feel comfortable but he made me feel confident in my abilities as an artist. He gave me perspective in things I was doing that I wasn’t aware of and how to be present and to relax (to stay grounded, were his words) He also was so supportive and made me realize how great I am and to celebrate how far I’ve come!
He not only listened but understood me on such a level that he was able to make me not second guess my choices when it came to my singing. I can’t wait to work with him again in the future.
If anyone is looking for a vocal coach who will make you feel comfortable, help you understand yourself as a person, guide you and your voice every step of the way, give you constructive criticism and be receptive, then Gabriel is your guy. You’re going to learn a lot about yourself and your abilities. Can’t wait to see how I progress with Gabriel and I look forward to the next lesson!
Gabriel was a great help to me. I enjoyed learning and working with him. He really helped me and boosted my confidence. I’m so glad I found him on Thumbtack!
I sang a song for my wife as a surprise at our wedding and I’m not sure that I would have been able to do that without Gabriel’s help.
I had some singing experience many moons ago back in high school choir but was very rusty. Through Gabriel’s coaching and instruction I was really able to deliver at the wedding — we went through vocal exercises, memorization techniques and also different ways to phrase the melody to make it “pop” just a bit more.
My wife was really surprised and our guests loved it. Highly recommend Gabriel for anyone’s future coaching!
From the moment I began working with Gabriel, it became evident that he was not just a vocal coach but a master craftsman of contemporary singing. His teaching style, deeply rooted in understanding and refining one’s unique voice, has been a revelation. Gabriel is far from your typical singing teacher; he’s a vocal architect who constructs a foundation for lasting vocal prowess.
Gabriel’s approach to vocal training is akin to a meticulously designed exercise regimen, tailored specifically for the voice. He likens vocal training to physical fitness – the more precise and focused your exercises, the more powerful, flexible, and fit your voice becomes. This philosophy has transformed my singing. Under Gabriel’s guidance, I’ve learned to sing with minimal strain while developing vocal power, expanding my range, and drastically improving my overall vocal technique.
The results of his teachings are not just felt but have been widely recognized. My improved vocal technique has been featured in publications like The Source, where critics have praised the newfound freedom and expressiveness in my singing. This recognition is a testament to Gabriel’s skill in enhancing and refining a singer’s natural talent.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Gabriel’s teaching is his extensive knowledge of vocal exercises. He is a veritable encyclopedia in this domain, offering a diverse array of techniques that have unlocked new dimensions in my voice. His lessons are more than just training sessions; they are an adventurous exploration into the vast potential of my vocal abilities.
Moreover, Gabriel has instilled in me a sense of seriousness towards singing as a lifelong craft. His lessons are infused with a sense of comfort and enjoyment, making each session something I eagerly anticipate. He pushes his students towards excellence, yet ensures that the journey is as rewarding as the destination.
Despite my move to the Bay Area, my lessons with Gabriel haven’t skipped a beat. His flexibility and adaptability have allowed me to continue my vocal journey seamlessly, illustrating his commitment to his students’ progress, irrespective of geographical constraints.
For anyone looking to elevate their contemporary singing technique – be it in pop, rock, R&B, gospel, jazz, musical theater, country, or metal – Gabriel is the go-to coach. He works magic with adults and teenagers alike, as long as they bring a good attention span and high motivation to the table.
In conclusion, if you’re seeking to get “vocally fit” and sing with pride and confidence, look no further than Gabriel. His teaching transcends traditional vocal training, offering a transformative experience that resonates not just in your voice, but in your very being. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel to anyone serious about mastering contemporary singing.
We are not vocalists but really like enjoy singing. So as a bday gift, we decided to try a lesson.. and this was just a BLAST! Gabriel is informative and knowledgeable while still making the lesson fun. He has a clear path for how to make people successful (in any way you define success). After the lesson, we felt amazing and sang all the way to the restaurant. We came for a one-off lesson but decided to pursue it further and continue taking more lessons with him. He makes you feel that you are able to find your unique voice, and we both left feeling confident and even more in love with singing.
Every second in Gabriel Weiner’s lesson is ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!! I find myself lucky to have been able to find such a great teacher! I came into the class scared, nervous and insecure about my singing. After just two lessons I feel not only confident but excited because Gabriel has really pushed my voice farther than I ever thought it could reach. If you’re still looking for a voice coach… THEN STOP!! Because Gabriel will be the only coach you’ll ever need. He’s extremely talented at what he does and he’s also a cool guy!
Gabriel meets you where you’re at with discovering your own voice. Highly professional and provides excellent advice.
Gabriel is a very professional and patient teacher. He knows exactly what I need and set customized training plan to perfect my voice. I have improved a lot after a couple of lessons. I really appreciate him!
Gabriel is an amazing voice teacher always patient and ready to adapt to the student’s needs.
I really enjoyed my classes with Gabriel! Gabriel is very knowledgeable and professional, and he makes you feel comfortable while learning new things. Furthermore, Gabriel takes physiological and psychological aspects into account, which results in a very holistic and personalized approach to singing. I highly recommend him as a teacher!
Gabriel Weiner is such a gem on so many levels. We just had our intake session and I am confident that he is the vocal coach that I have been looking for. He is warm, welcoming, compassionate, and truly cares for your well-being. The training is personalized and professional. I look forward to working with him for a long time!!
Gabriel is a genuine, dedicated and enthusiastic teacher. I am so happy I found him and would recommend him to anybody interested in strengthening both their ability and confidence in their voice. You get out what you put in with Gabriel. He’s honest without being abrasive and guides without being judgmental. I look forward to our weekly lessons and am going to continue seeing him. I have been seeing Gabriel for 1 month and will report back after 3 and so on and so forth. Thanks Gabriel!
Gabriel was an excellent instructor. In thirty minutes he was able to identify where my voice needed the most work as well as help me sing with a lot more clarity. Looking forward to developing my voice with his guidance.
Amazing vocal coach!
Gabriel is a really good guy, picked him originally because we had very similar names and I thought it would be funny. Been taking singing lessons from him for over half a year now. His singing lessons are intuitive and out of the box so you never get bored. He’s just a nice dude and wants you to succeed. My singing has improved more than I thought it ever would and I even started making my own music now. If you are on the fence with taking lessons because you’re nervous, don’t be, he is super understanding and makes you feel comfortable from the first lesson. Even after half a year I’m still nervous to sing in front of some people so it’s normal, just go for it . He will make you feel less nervous. 10/10, will keep taking lessons from him for a long time.
Took my first lesson with Gabriel and I couldn’t be any happier with how it went. Highly recommend him. Can’t wait for my next lesson! Thank you Gabriel.
Gabriel is amazing and has the ability to both make me feel comfortable as well as challenge me to grow. I would highly recommend him.
For this being my first vocal lesson ever I have to say I had an amazing experience with Gabriel! You can tell he’s been doing this for a long time. He immediately recognized and instructed me on what I can do better to produce sound without any strain and in tune. Will definitely be seeing him again!
He is worth more than his weight in gold!
I’m so glad I chose Gabriel. His approach is unique and helpful.
Working with Gabriel was AMAZING!! I immediately saw a difference in my voice after working with him!! He’s MY COACH NOW AND FOREVER!!
I’d like to say that Gabriel Weiner is a excellent vocal coach. He transformed my voice with the 1st session. His techniques are so effective and easy to do. His professionalism is top notch, he teaches with patience & understanding!!!
I never expected what he delivers. Amazing teacher! I’m a musician/songwriter who didn’t start out as a singer and new something was not quite right. The physical/mind connection in vocalizing.
One lesson and my voice is already feeling stronger, has my confidence already rising. Thank you so much!!!
Gabriel has been super helpful, patient and great to work with. The information he shares in session and one off has been invaluable! I recently recorded a song and wouldn’t have been able to have as much control, good pitch or confidence without his help.
Gabriel has been an incredible teacher. After just a few lessons my voice has completely changed for the better. He has a holistic and unique teaching style such that I never felt the need to overthink anything. Just by doing the exorcises he gave me, my voice began to change on its own. Gabriel has a warm and welcoming personality and I never felt embarrassed or afraid to mess up or sing the wrong note. He is very observant and has been able to target so many things about my singing, from simple technique to deeper mind-set factors. Gabriel is incredibly intuitive in his teaching, he is always listening and reacting to whatever might happen. Every lesson has been jam packed with teachings and I have left every lesson feeling better about my voice and myself. I can’t recommend Gabriel enough. If you want to sing better, or find your voice, or just work out some vocal kinks, Gabriel is your man.
Gabriel is my first vocal teacher and after only one lesson, I could tell my voice had gotten better. Now, after a couple months of working with him, I feel so much more control over my voice. My range has greatly increased and I’m able to sing in different ways. The difference is astounding.
Gabe is very honest and down to earth each lesson builds on top of the other and I like that it’s exciting and refreshing definitely would recommend you learn from Gabe
Amazing from the first lesson. Gabriel immediately gave me exercises to help my voice come out. He is also helping me find my own voice and individuality. I’ve been a musician for years and I’ve never had a first lesson this productive!
As an introvert, I never thought I would be taking singing lessons.. I thought my inherent singing expression as an artistic outlet would be confined to the safety within the walls of my car, shower, and whimsical karaoke.. But my best friend surprised me with this experience for my birthday, and I’m incredibly grateful for that nudge outside of my comfort zone. It has proven to be just that- an enlightening experience of great but gentle growth, (minus the growing pains) which is altogether reassuring and life changing. She knows I’m finicky about who I let into my space, so she interviewed 3 people before she found the glistening gem that is Gabriel. I wish his teaching model could be emulated for all subjects..! Gabriel’s ability to simplify what I, like so many others, over complicate is truly a skill in and of itself. He broke it down in a way that made it feel easy and fun. Initially intimidated, I found his approach to be disarming, his communication to be clear, relatable, empathic, and anchored in his demonstrable understanding. He meets you where You’re at, and guides you from there as a true facilitator, helping you to hone your capabilities your self. I am not just pleased with the services provided, I am honored to have had his time as a remarkable person.
Not only has Gabriel become my vocal teacher, but he has also become my Creative Coach. Talk about Holistic Approach to Teaching!! He literally is like the Voice Whisperer. His teaching methodology isn’t about trying to sound like so and so, or wanting to be just like *insert famous singer*– His Method is about helping you BE YOU. UNApologetically. Gabriel will help you Find Yourself. Your Voice. Your way of Communicating to the World. It’s Beautiful, I’m SO GRATEFUL to have found him!!! He’s THE BEST.
The first lesson was just as informational as interactive. Broke down topics in a unique and relatable way. Very aware when it comes to finding the small nuances that you may have never been aware of. I felt twice as comfortable singing after just the first lesson. Valuable.
