-- Success Stories --
“I have studied with Raven for 1 1/2 years at which time I gained the
confidence to audition for the L.A. revival of “Hair” and was
awarded the leading role of 'Berger'. I couldn’t have done it without
her help.”

“From working with Raven I’ve gotten a vocal flexibility I never thought possible. Raven teaches you to understand how to sing and then shows you how to do it one step at a time. Because of my work with her I received a Dramalogue Award.”

“I have been studying with Raven Kane for over three months now and feel most of my progress has to do with understanding the registers of my voice. I have found much more energy behind my voice and have found that by using my body, I can get much more power and a variety of vocal qualities that I never realized I had.”

“I started lessons with Raven in January, as an actor/dancer, I really felt the need to have a voice so I could nail my auditions. In April I was asked to do a scene in my acting class from “Little Shop of Horrors”. We had four days to rehearse, so I just said “go for it” and threw caution to the wind! I belted my song like I’ve never done before. It was my first time to sing in front of anyone, much less seventy of my peers! They were amazed at how good I sounded and were shocked that it was my first time to sing for an audience! All of this after just three months of training!! I never would have had the confidence or voice without my work with Raven!”
-- Dru-Anne Perry, early 20’s --

“I want to thank you, Raven, for everything you’ve contributed to my life these past few years.

“I have studied voice for years with many teachers in college at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In less than two years with Raven I have made more progress than in all those other years combined. I have discovered a voice I did not know I had. Just two years ago having a career as a singer seemed only a distant dream. Now, thanks to Raven, and a lot of hard work, my career is really beginning to take off.”

“I have had three
vocal coaches in the past three years, but it wasn’t until I started
studying with Raven Kane that I began to understand what I was really reaching
for, in my pursuit of a career as a singer. She has given me confidence and
technical abilities that no one else had been able to do. Her enthusiasm and
encouragement makes me want to try harder.”

“Raven’s way of teaching or should I say flowing me tech makes it so easy for me to duplicate and apply. With each new gradient there is an incredible result that remains stable when applying her technique. I am producing sound that I thought not possible or not so easy to attain.”
-- Christina Kumi Kimball (Broadway star of “CATS”) --

"Over the past year
my vocal range has greatly increased since I've been working with Raven and
the quality of my voice has improved to the point where i can sing any type
of song and really get the emotion and sound that fits each one. I have worked
with other vocal coaches who were too complicated in explaining what they
were trying to do. Raven teaches with simplicity. She tells me exactly what
to do so that I understand it and then I do it. She teaches step by step,
always knowing when I’m ready to go to the next level so that I always
feel that I’m learning and excelling at what I can do.
Studying with Raven is always a very happy experience!
Every little thing and every big thing I wanted to do with my voice, with
the emotion of a song and with the communication of a song, Raven imparted
to me with perfect clarity."

"When I first met
Raven, I was struggling as a young singer. I had trouble hitting certain notes
and remaining in key. Through the hours of vocal exercises with Raven and
my own practice at home, I became more certain of my voice and comfortable
with my vocal range. She taught me how to hit higher notes without straining
and also how to correctly use my voice so as not to damage it.
I got an audition for a main in role in the musical "Les Miserables".
The day before the audition, I brought the song to Raven. We went over it
and I left that day with certainty that I would land the part and fair enough,
I did. The musical director said that out of the people auditioning for the
part that my voice was the strongest. I owe that to Raven and I truly appreciate
all of her help."
