What People Say About Kristin Van Sickle
"My daughters (ages 17 and 20) have been working with Kristin for the last several years in various musical capacities and have received private vocal lessons from her for roughly four years. During that time, they’ve not only grown tremendously in vocal ability, but in confidence as well. Kristin’s knowledge and support have prepared them for musical theatre auditions, choral competitions, college applications, and overall vocal conditioning when they’re between productions. What they appreciate the most is Kristin’s willingness to tackle their vocal challenges and give honest feedback, as she’s become a mentor that they trust completely. I am confident that they would not be where they are today without her continued support and guidance. We have recommended her to friends on multiple occasions and are grateful for the years she has spent working with our family."
"I have gone through the college audition process twice, the first time I lost myself and the second time I found myself. When I worked with Kristin the second year I gained so much confidence as a singer and performer. She was honest about the process and helped me find my identity as a singer. She helped me record my pre screens with confidence, laughter and love. She was there for me through the tears and disappointing parts. And she was there to celebrate my wins. Before my important callback she gave me enlightening advice specific to me that helped me get into my dream school.
Kristin has helped me grow so much as a singer. I am even surprised by my own progress. She made me realize I don't have to conform to what is deemed “musical theater”, but that I can be my own unique artist. She has a big heart, experience and a supportive studio environment."
"Kristin is understanding, caring, empathetic, funny, intelligent, organized, and a master at what she does.Working with Kristin has given me the confidence I needed. Going into these lessons, I wasn't quite sure where I sat with my range or if my book was right for me anymore. Kristin takes the time to teach you how to use your own body and your own unique voice to get the results you want in a healthy way. I know that I can count on her to challenge me in the most inspiring ways! If you are looking for someone who understands and can guide you through your music journey judgement free, Van Sickle Studio is for you. Thank you for helping me find my voice again! "
"Kristin provides honesty with love and support. In the past educators have made me feel bad for having a unique voice but Kristin celebrates me and helps me embrace my voice. I can tell that Kristin genuinely cares about me and my wellbeing. She takes the time to get to know me and offers me tools that are specific to me and my instrument. She explains the anatomy and physical sensations of singing that have improved my technique and projection."
