"Will Bryan is an incredible vocal coach. He takes the time to understand his clients at a deep level and uses this knowledge to tailor each session to their specific needs, style and strengths. Working with Will has been a game changer for my career! I walked into Will's studio with little technical training and industry knowledge - I was so green! But he believed in me and my potential. Within the first few sessions, I noticed a change in my voice and confidence. Today, thanks to Will, I have the technique, confidence, and stamina to perform on the world's biggest stages."

"Will changed the game for me. I came into our first lesson very unsure of my ability and where I "fit" in this business, and Will quickly gave me the confidence and reassurance that I was capable of more than I ever thought possible. His teaching principle and approach to vocal technique is so HUMAN and easy to connect with and understand. Not only is he a magnificent teacher but a FIERCE friend and cheerleader for his students. From last-minute auditions, vocal concerns, or truly anything under the sun he is there for you. He is kind, honest, real, and the greatest gift one could give oneself as a performer."
Giselle Alvarez
Phantom of the Opera (Broadway), Brigadoon (City Center, NYC), Robbin's Broadway (TUTS)
"I think of my vocal journey as split into Before Will and After Will. His frequently sassy and always honest approach to vocal technique has given me the skills and confidence to not only sustain singing at Phantom 8 shows a week, but to sing everything else from Elphaba to Adele. During the Pandemic he continued to create space for his clients on Skype, which for me was a vital tool and outlet to continue to grow as a vocalist in such a difficult time. I am so grateful to have Will on my team and in my corner, knowing he is always ready to work with me on whatever comes next."
Richard Baskin
Freestyle! Love! Supreme! (Broadway, Tour, Vegas)
"The moment I started working on my voice with Will, everything I knew about what I was doing as a performer was challenged - in the best way. WIll’s teaching is engaging on multiple fronts, taking what I was already good at and using it to connect ideas and concepts to help take my voice to the next level.
I’d recommend beginners and seasoned professionals alike to work with Will Bryan, especially if you dream of performance without fear or obstacles in your way."
Matthew Quinn
Hadestown (Hades, Broadway National Tour)
“I booked a major role and went into production with so much self doubt and anxiety. A few sessions with Will gave me some amazing tools not only to boost confidence in my performance, but in my career and personal life. He’s more than JUST a vocal instructor.”
Tony Nation
Partner (Actors Connection), Forbidden Broadway (off-Broadway)
"Will has been instrumental in helping me to get back in Broadway vocal shape and I'm so thankful I found him after dealing with some vocal issues. If you're looking for a voice teacher who is at the top of their game, kind but direct with southern charm, then Will Bryan is the voice teacher for you!"
Emily Kelly
Summerstock (Goodspeed), Cabaret (Sally Bowles u/s, Asolo), Grand Hotel (City Center Encores)
“Will changed my voice for the better! I used to think of myself only as an ensemble dancer with a decent voice. But, since working with Will, I now view myself as a singer, actor, and artist. He is incredibly smart and intuitive. He can sense what you need, as well as the best way to convey it based on your mood. You’ll think he’s playing magic tricks on you, he’s just that good! His approach is challenging, yet kind and supportive. I go into rooms more confident and proud of my voice than ever before because of his coaching.”

"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."

"My time with Will has been invaluable to my development and hireability as a vocalist. He has helped refine my voice in a way that is healthier, more marketable, and more malleable to the wide variety of musical styles required in the modern industry of musical theater."
Ashley Mortensen

Will is a listener. He hears that thing in your voice that makes it uniquely your own and slowly but surely pulls it out. By the time you've keyed into his wizardry, you are a fined tuned, confident performer with the tools necessary to continually discover aspects of your instrument you never thought possible. Will is honest. You trust his opinion because he understands this industry and won't allow you to get stuck in your head. He challenges you, supports you, encourages you and genuinely cares about you. He has changed the way I look at my talent; you are not just a voice, you are a collection of experiences and only you can do what you do. Will allows you to trust that that is enough.

"Will is the BEST. Hands down. Through his incredible intuition, knowledge, patience and skilled approach, he will strengthen/build your technique and enhance the originality and quality of YOUR voice without stripping away the essence of YOU allowing more freedom onstage and at auditions! SO, are you ready to be at the TOP of your game? Want to be able to switch from Rock of Ages to Ragtime with ease and confidence? Yes? Great. Will Bryan. Get into it."

"Studying with Will, I have developed a confidence in my voice that I never imagined I could. I have so much faith in Will as a teacher and his understanding of the voice. It is so important for me to have a voice teacher whom I can trust. I trust Will with my voice, and together we break down barriers that have helped me achieve my dreams of performing across the country and on Broadway. With him, my technique has grown tremendously, and it continues to grow as we keep working together. The coachings he gives always make me a more confident performer before I head into an audition, and that feeling of being prepared is priceless. I appreciate all of the tough love and reassuring support he gives to make me my best."
Brad Giovanine
Assassins (Classic Stage Company) Great Comet (Broadway)
"I wouldn't be the singer I am today without Will. He gave me my voice back. Will came into my life during a massive personal and artistic upheaval. I was no longer interested in sounding like every other 5’ 8’’ baritone and knew I was traversing a vocal plateau. My range felt limited. I needed help. Now, I say with confidence that I wouldn’t be the singer I am today without Will. We worked together to find the core of my sound and expand on it, literally giving me my voice back. Training with Will has given me a foundation and technique that is healthy, and practically effortless. I don’t worry about where I’m at today, I just SING. The artist I am is strongly rooted in my vocal quality, and that is 100% a result of Will’s keen ear and insane knowledge of the voice. Thank you simply isn’t enough…but…THANK YOU WILL!"
Jerusha Cavazos

Will Bryan is an amazing vocal technician and coach. He looks at the specific way you learn and tailors his teaching from that. Will helped me book my Broadway debut gig in my first year in NYC and I've learned to trust his expert advice!
Carla Stickler
Wicked (Elphaba standby: Broadway, 1st National Tour)
"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."
Jon Bass
Book of Mormon (Elder Cunningham, Broadway, 1st National Tour)
"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."
Kristin Yancy
Summer (Disco Donna u/s, Broadway)
"It's not an exaggeration to say that my first lesson with Will was a life changing moment. Looking back, the change from that moment on-- in my range, my tone, and my ability-- is honestly shocking. Will gave me the technical help I needed to grow, made me sensitive to using my voice healthfully, and believed in my own unique talent even when I was struggling with doubt. Now, whenever a friend confides in me about feeling vocally "stuck," I know exactly where to send them-- to Will Bryan."
Joey Barreiro
Newsies (Jack Kelly, Broadway National Tour), A Bronx Tale (Calogero, Broadway National Tour)
Will helped me address my technical inconsistencies, and in doing so, freed me to be an actor even when I sing the hard stuff. Now, I rarely worry about what's going to come out of my mouth, even when feeling less than 100%, because of the strong foundation that Will and I have built together. So often it takes one little adjustment to make a world of difference, and Will is one of those voice teachers with the uncanny ability to zone in on the problem and immediately come up with a solution.

His solid and unfailing technique has grown me into a versatile and widely marketable singer in all genres from opera to Broadway. I trust him with my voice, my career, and in him have found not only a voice teacher, but a friend"

"I can say with 100% certainty that without Will Bryan I would not be where I am today. My work with Will over the past five years has been incomparable. I have grown more than I ever thought possible. My lessons are always efficient, and he has the right balance between praise, constructive criticism and execution. With Will you get everything: technique, rep, and coaching all in one hour."
Sarah Schenkkan
Wicked (Glinda standby: 1st National Tour)
"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 any 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."
Bridie Carrol
Wicked (Madam Morrible understudy, 2nd National Tour)
"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 priceless to me and I'm so grateful to have him as my teacher and friend."
Tim Connell
Spamalot (Sir Robin, 1st National Tour)
"lWithout 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. Since 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!"
Doug Cohen
