"Elisa has taught me so much about the voice and helped me navigate the challenges that come with singing. She demonstrated advanced understanding of the physical science of singing and provided helpful guidance on adjusting both the body and mind to be more attuned to healthy and effective vocalization. She is also versed in many different styles of repertoire and technique. I never would’ve been prepared for college auditions without her! Not only is she excellent at what she does, but she is also an extremely kind, understanding, and empathetic human being who genuinely wants her students to succeed."

-Alex Bloom, Music Education,Syracuse University

"I attribute much of where I am today to the foundation Elisa Matthews gave me. She helped me prepare and train for my college musical theatre auditions, connected me to monologue coaches, and even took the time to write references on my behalf. Her knowledge, expertise, connections, and care all helped me get into my dream school.

I was later lucky enough to work alongside her as a fellow performer. Sharing the stage with her, watching her perform, and hearing her incredible voice was an honor and a masterclass in being talented, professional, and kind all at once. I've since gone on to perform across the US, in multiple countries, and on Broadway, and I will remain forever grateful for the foundation Elisa gave me."

-Andrew Leggieri, Actor seen on

Broadway and CBS


"Before working with Elisa, I had suffered a handful of vocal injuries, and bouncing back from those was always challenging. I never felt like I had the right tools for healthy vocal use, and always felt like something was wrong with me. But Elisa met me where I was, curated lessons, exercises, and care specifically for my needs, and got me connected with a great vocal health team. She showed me great empathy throughout the process, letting me know I wasn’t alone, and that my voice just needed the right tools and support to be healthy. Today, I have not experienced a serious vocal injury in 4 years, and I owe it all to Elisa caring for me as my vocal teacher. I know I can always count on her!

"Elisa Matthews is a phenomenal voice teacher. She helped me grow, stay disciplined, and find where my voice fit best throughout the 3 years I worked with her. Elisa has such a clear understanding of the voice and where things should be placed technique-wise. She also provides a warm and welcoming space that would sometimes be the highlight of my week during a rather gloomy one. If you’re looking for a vocal coach that’s both kind and encouraging, while also informative and helps you stay ambitious, I cannot recommend Elisa Matthews enough!"
