Some of Will's CLIENTS:

"Having quit singing after a serious operation on my vocal cords, I found Will. Will helped me find my voice again. On many occasions when it was all too overwhelming, Will helped me pick myself up and keep singing. He knew exactly when to push me and when to get me out of my head. His technique has definitely stayed with me all these years."

"I am so incredibly grateful to have met Will. From our first lesson I trusted him immediately - not just with my voice itself, but with my vocal insecurities and career goals. I have never felt more supported and challenged by and voice teacher, and the proof is in the pudding: since I've started studying with Will, my range has increased, my mix-belt has gotten stronger, and my vocal stamina easily gets me through my 8-show weeks. The color and quality of my voice is the best it's ever been.

When anyone asks me for teacher recommendations, I send them to Will without hesitation. He has absolutely changed my life and my voice, and I consider him a trusted friend and confidante as well as a teacher."

"I wouldn't be on Broadway if it wasn't for Will. He taught me how to use my voice to the best of its abilities. His honest attitude and unwavering work ethic is infectious and made me not only want to be a better singer but be a better person, too. I thank Will in the Book of Mormon Playbill and I thank him in life for teaching me how to use my voice."

"Will Bryan is one of the most knowledgeable vocal teachers working today. His students have excellent and healthy voices due to his strong tutelage and technique. I share space with Will at The Voice Studio and am consistently impressed with his students' development. I also studied with Will and found him to instructive, patient, and inspiring."

"After being on the road with several national tours, it had been years since I had taken a voice lesson. Thank goodness I discovered Will! He got my technique back in shape and helped me update my book. It was a relief to have someone I trusted to coach me for auditions. In fact, he was a major contributing factor in my booking Kinky Boots. I don't think of him as just my voice teacher, he also my friend."

"I had about 6 weeks between my Wicked contracts to deal with some vocal issues I had been having. Will was recommended to me numerous times so I picked up the phone and in 6 lessons found my voice again. No matter what state I was in vocally or mentally Will managed to get the best out of me and get me back in shape to get back on the road. His patience, demeanor, knowledge, guidance, and instruction are ppriceless to me and I'm so grateful to have him as my teacher and friend."

"Will Bryan is one of the most knowlWithout question, under Will's guidance, I came in contact with a fuller understanding and experience of my voice. Prior to Will, I would experience constant fatigue and strain. sisnce working with him, the fatigue or strain have disappeared. It is because of him that I sing from a healthy and grounded place. Thank you Will!"

"When I started with Will I had a range of about an octave and half, and my head and chest voice were on two different planets. I could not ask for a better mentor to guide me in keeping my voice healthy through the extreme variety of music I sing. I now use all 3 octaves of my range seamlessly. Whether I'm performing Indian folk songs, soulful pop, Jazz standards, classic Broadway, or the crazy vocalese of Cirque du Soleil, Will has given me the tools to use my voice to its fullest potential in ANY situation. He is a master at his craft and my trusted guru."

"There are a lot of people coaching musical theater performance in NYC but Will is your best bet. Whether you need to work technique or you're trying to be competitive in the audition scene, he's your guy. Will has done a wizard's work on my voice and helped coach me through some of my most successful auditions. It's doubtful I'd be doing what I do without my work with Will"

"Will is simply incredible. When he first saw me, I was so confused about my ideas of singing. I was feeling blocked, frustrated, and felt I had no real vocal identity. Will changed the way I thought about singing in just a few lessons. He got me out of my head and confidently making sounds that were easy, healthy, and sounded like me. To say that I'm so happy with my progress with Will is an understatement. I cannot stop singing! My roommates, cast mates in Anything Goes!, and neighbors thank him."

"It may sound dramatic, but Will literally changed my life. I was ready to believe that I wasn't meant to be a singer, and then fate led me to Will. What I love most about working with Will is that he is so honest with me that he won't allow me to get in my own way anymore. I also really appreciate how goal-oriented he is. In my first lesson we made a list of short and long term goals and that has kept us very focused from week to week. He has helped me to discover a voice I truly never knew I possessed. I had not auditioned in two years, but after working with Will for 6 months I booked the national tour of Million Dollar Quartet. I can honestly say that wouldn't have happened without his expertise, his sense of humor and his friendship."

"I contacted Will Bryan recently because I remembered his inspiring and thoughful stage direction when I sand Leonor in Fidelio with One World Symphony in NYC. I was concerned that perhaps my acting had become outdated. Turns out it had, and in only a few powerful sessions with Will, he had me back on track. What amazes me about Will is both his innate ability to immediately zero in on the problems, and then to just as quickly connect singers back to themselves. He worls so effortlessly that it gives me the impression we're just having a chat-- until I open my mouth to sing again. I feel more connected to myself than I have in years, and my acting is on the same level as my singing again. I could never put a price on that."

"Will Bryan has a gift for finding the hidden potential in his students. When I first came to Will I had pretty much given up on a career in music. Will saw the potential in me for operatic repertoire and worked extensively to get me excited about my voice and to uncover the strength and warmth he could hear through all of my vocal problems. Only a few years after starting with Will, I won't the oppurtunity to perform professionally in a leading role with Hawaii Opera Theater to enthusiastic audiences of over 2,000 people! I know that such a transformation would never have been possible without the talent and raw energy that Will brings to his teaching. I owe him so much!"
