Our son, Holland White, has a passion for singing. He performed with the Appleton Boychoir for five years and took voice lessons for two years. Then Holland’s life turned a corner! We met Lisa during rehearsals for a musical in Sheboygan. Holland began lessons with Lisa in June of this year. She has taken Holland’s performance to a whole new level; her positive criticism and encouragement have totally boosted Holland’s self confidence at auditions and on stage. We are blessed to have Ms. Golda in our lives. We truly respect her as a professional and role model. Her enthusiasm is delightful and contagious!

Since I have been taking lessons with Lisa Golda, I have noted significant changes in my voice. My breath support has improved and I am now able to sustain notes better and complete longer phrases. My vibrato is now even and more controlled than before. She has taught me how to use my own unique instrument. Given specific advice by a knowledgeable teacher with extensive vocal training and experience, I have been able to increase my range and work on difficult repertoire, including both classical and musical theatre. Lisa’s expertise and her relaxed teaching style make the ultimate learning experience for a voice student. I have more courage to audition and compete, taught by an experienced performer herself. Lisa Golda has given me the confidence to believe in myself and in my abilities. She always pushes me to my fullest potential and knows just how to do it. It’s safe to say I can brag about having the best voice teacher in town.

Our 17-year-old daughter has been working with Lisa Golda since she returned from summer camp at Interlochen Academy of the Arts. Her experience at Interlochen changed her outlook and attitude about her music lessons. She has been working with Lisa for approximately two months at this point. They began working on an upcoming audition for her high school play “The Music Man”. Lisa help her to prepare by working on the music as well as staging and other important audition tips. My daughter felt very prepared for her audition and ended up with a nice role in the play.
Lisa is very helpful with diction in the various languages and is also starting to help my daughter with her upper range. She uses a video camera during parts of the lessons which gives immediate feedback. My daughter has really appreciated that angle of her lessons. The lessons are very well balanced and include a quick catch up session, then right into singing. My daughter feels that they spend a lot of time working on repertoire instead of just vocalizing the whole lesson. At the end of an hour, my daughter feels that it has been time well spent and she is quite happy with her progress.
Despite the reality that my daughter’s schedule changes due to her rehearsal schedule and Lisa has a busy schedule, Lisa has always been easy to reach and schedule or reschedule weekly lessons. She is very flexible which has been a bonus! My daughter looks forward to her lessons each week with Lisa Golda.

I am very pleased with all that Allyson is learning in her vocal lessons with Lisa Golda. She is learning about what her voice is capable of, such as her range, but also some things were weren’t expecting. Her self-confidence, how she presents herself, some acting talent that Lisa has made her aware of, which I don’t think she knew she had. Also suggesting that she try auditioning for a musical, just for the experience, and although she didn’t get in, she learned what it was all about and how to handle rejection. These experiences will help her so very much in her adult life. Allyson’s high school grades have improved dramatically since last year. I am sure this has something to do with the confidence she is gaining by learning more about herself through voice and self-expression. The voice lessons have had such impact on Allyson.
