I am honored to have worked with clients who are both my greatest teachers and inspirations. Here are some of the reviews they've generously shared.
"The lessons I learned from Leslie have carried on far beyond presenting my main-stage TED talk successfully. I know of no other voice coach with the depth of skills and passion as Leslie Helpert." –David, NY, NY.
"At our retreat, Leslie gave our national team leaders distinct tools to communicate with more self-connection, to dial into the passion underscoring their vision and unique "voice" they each bring to our company." —R.H., iconic international consulting firm.
"Helpert's work is a complete new field of sensory development, she is beyond her time with a progressive understanding of what the human voice can be for each of us." –Jim, Boston, MA.
"Leslie gave us so much wisdom and so many teachings. I’m having a profound experience with this work, the way it’s opening me. I can just really see how it’s helping me to rise to another level as becoming the person I want to become, the voice, my vocation, my calling… it’s all intrinsically connected, and Leslie gave me a very visceral experience with that." -Joanna, Zurich,Switzerland.
"Leslie guided me through one of the most powerful transformations in my life, providing a safe space for me (even through Zoom!) to heal my voice and in turn, enabled me to lead others to heal their voices. Through her Foundations program, I learned how the voice connects to my body and livelihood. Her insights and intuition are always on the mark! Combining this with her world-wide expertise and experience, you can be sure that you have the best teacher to open up your voice to its greatest potential in the most caring way. I have come to learn that voice work is truly one of the most important foundations of life; the most natural and powerful tool that we have to command attention 'IN' to Life. Learning about the voice is for everyone, not just for musicians or singers." -Kim, Aukland, NZ
"Leslie is able to see and hear what is happening in my voice and my body with such detail and attunement, and then find playful, enlivening ways to stretch my edges and go to new places with my voice, my body, and my breath. I leave each session feeling more inspired to inhabit and explore myself and my voice. The level of detail that she can hear in the voice and see in the vocal apparatus, even remotely, just blows me away -- she is a master observer." -Emma, Kauai, Hawaii
"Leslie is other-worldly and can change your patterns in one moment" –Adrian, Boulder, Colorado.
"Leslie provided voice-based healing work for me in a crucial time of my chemo treatment. The work was on a traditional massage table, resonating to my bones and deeply nourishing. Her therapy definitely influenced my rapid recovery. I've sent friends to her since who are going through life transitions and they also have had profound results." -Darlene, Tucson, Arizona.
"Dramatically nourishing. I never understood before that the missing link between physical and mental health was my creative health." -Michaela, Berlin, Germany.
"Leslie's work rings so true; I love her energy and ability to connect with people across the globe through voice. It's such a unique experience to have a feeling of safety when you're working in a vulnerable space."
-Natasha, Sydney, Australia
"I came to Leslie to gain confidence in my public speaking, but our sessions helped me save my marriage and lose 75 pounds of unwanted emotional weight. -Jeff, Hartford, Connecticut.
"Leslie conducts vocal alchemy, I have a completely different use of my voice now than before I sought out her coaching." -Fabian, Barcelona, Spain.
"I've taken vocal lessons with a diverse range of teachers and have never had such a powerful experience as I did with her. Leslie reminds us that our whole entire body is our instrument and teaches us how to trust it."
-Kata, Oakland, California.
"There's no simple way to explain what she does, however, the effect is simply--transformationally riveting." -Jonathan, Montreal, Canada
"Working with Leslie for the past year has contributed such a high level of support to my life. Her wide breadth of knowledge, excellent professionalism and her bright and forthcoming presence all contribute greatly to our session work. I truly feel that I can bring anything to our time together and be met with compassion, curiosity and deep, holistic insights and practices to aid and nourish me on my own path. Leslie, rooted in her own tremendous wisdom, is a wonderful ally to have by your side when you are doing the work of living life: in traversing transformation, returning to your true essence, and claiming your own voice." –Amy, Washington State.
"Leslie is other-worldly and can change your patterns in one moment" –Adrian, Colorado.
"I enlisted the voice lessons of Leslie Helpert to prepare for a TED talk. As a college professor, I was familiar with public speaking, but wanted to improve my speaking skills. Leslie taught me how to use tone and singing to find a more dynamic speaking voice. The lessons I learned from Helpert have carried on far beyond the TED stage and into everyday speaking and lecturing. These lessons are unique and are worth their tone in gold. I know of no other voice coach with the depth of skills and passion for teaching as Leslie Helpert."
-David, New York, New York.
"I came to Leslie to gain confidence in my public speaking, but our sessions together ended up helping me save my marriage, get out of physical pain and lose 75 pounds of unwanted emotional weight. She's made me realize that the voice is much more than just a sound coming out of my mouth. Added bonus, my daughter and I now regularly sing together, which has been so bonding and enjoyable."
-Jeff, Connecticut.
"Experiencing Leslie's work as both voice coach and in her vocal healing sessions marked the most significant shift in my own recovery and transformation. I feel renewed, on my path, offering my best expression. The power of the voice is huge and evolutionary."
-Mai, NYC.
"Leslie Helpert not only altered my perception of what is possible in the virtual realm but she also expanded my relationship with my voice altogether. Her grounded methodology & keen intuition broke through the barriers of the computer screen and provided an intimate space for deep-rooted growth. Her knowledge and experience are profound and it shows in her balance of patience and pressure. Leslie has a keen ability to tap into your vocal needs and provide you with a toolbox to build on them. I've taken vocal lessons with a diverse range of teachers and have never had such a powerful experience like I did with her. Leslie is deeply in tune with her instrument and it shows in her teaching. Leslie reminds us that our whole entire body is our instrument. She teaches us how to trust it and hone our vocal home."
-Kata, Oakland, California.
"I've had the sincere pleasure of taking voice lessons from Leslie for the past year and a half. After every lesson, I feel more energized and open, and I often experience some kind of mini life breakthrough along the way too! Leslie is truly one of the most gifted teachers, singers and humans I know, don't miss an opportunity to work with her!"
–Flora, Portland, Oregon.
"Leslie's workshop left me awestruck and wanting more. Following up in a one-on-one, Leslie offered her unique practices and deep wisdom as a mirror, coaxing out my gifts, and introducing them to me in ways I had never experienced before. She is pure magic and has something truly special to offer!" -Jodi, Colorado.
"Leslie's workshop was one of the most profound adult learning experiences I've taken on. I personally experienced a major shift/healing. It was deeply powerful to be witnessed and guided around voice/expression. I've been able to continue to practice what she shared with all of us daily, and notice how much more in my body I am."
-Sean, Boulder, Colorado.
"Leslie is a great teacher, she makes the class fun, she is an enthusiast, she can identify your strong points and motivate/encourage you and also spot your weak aspects to make you improve faster and in a personalized way according to your needs as a singer. She is a very outside-the-box teacher/thinker with her own method from a lifetime experience that will make you enjoy learning because the class won´t be taught in a traditional manner, but a very unique one. You´ll be inspired."
-Olga, Lisbon, Portugal.
"Leslie is an absolute gem. A lovely mix of beauty, passion, release, and hope, my lessons with Leslie are unlike any experience I've ever had! My first conversation with her changed my life! Not only will Leslie help you find your singing voice and help strengthen it deep with you, but she will help you tap into reservoirs of yourself you didn't know were in there. She's amazing!
–Rebecca, NYC
"Leslie is an incredible voice coach. Her outstanding ability to explain the workings of the human voice really helped me to understand how I was supposed to cross the bridge between where I was when I started with her and where I wanted to be with my voice. She's fun while being down to business too. I incorporate what she taught me into my daily life even when it comes just to using the breathe and speaking. Highly recommend!" –Mark, NYC
"The freedom to open up to any possible sound and the source of inspiration that comes from letting feelings guide are two of the best gifts I got from Leslie."
-Leo, Barcelona, Spain.
"Music may be her primary field of expertise but Leslie also has an impressive theoretical and practical knowledge of nutrition, biology, chemistry, art, literature and history which is easily apparent when in conversation with Leslie. Helpert is an artful pioneer that any student, stage or society would be fortunate to work with."
-Lindsey, Paget, Bermuda
"My work with Leslie is in the realm of singing. I am drawn to work with her as she is perceptive on an extraordinary level - musically, harmonically, and with my body as a vocal instrument. Leslie's work is clear, powerful, challenging and transformative. She is an astute vocal coach, incredibly insightful and has her own unique approach to voice. My experience is that her work can be most closely described as vocal qigong --working with the physical and energetic body to clarify and strengthen one's vocal capacity. It is a deeply embodied practice that has brought significant and inspiring change to my own vocal technique, understanding and expression."
-Kristen Greco, San Francisco, California
