Testimonials:
"I had the pleasure of working with Rachel as a student of the Rutgers-NJIT Theatre Department. Her hands-on, no-nonsense approach to teaching enables her students to get down to business right away. Rachel truly personalizes each lesson, tailoring the focus to students’ individual needs, goals, and levels of experience. She easily identifies the causes for gaps in technique and provides clear direction and tangible learning tools to achieve almost immediate resolution. Her commitment to the individual and rejection of cookie-cutter singing empowers students to discover and develop their own voices. Above all this, the highlight of working with Rachel is her emphasis on connection to the context and content of the repertoire being sung. Her coaching employs specificity of intention and setting to motivate meaningful vocal production and performance. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Rachel. Her guidance has helped me to grow immensely as a vocalist and performer." - Florianna Heun
"I've known Rachel for 4 years. We met when I was at a play at Rutgers-NJIT, their spring production of Cabaret. She was strict, but I immediately knew that I would learn a lot from her. I have found her to be charming and sweet, and she gets the job done. She made sure that as part of the ensemble I nailed every note in our music. She also has a dry sense of humor which is hilarious. She's made a lasting impression on me and I strive to become a better artist because of her. Lastly, I am proud to call her my friend." -Rafaelle Danta
"I have known Rachel as a friend and collaborator for many years. I have worked with her as an artist, an advisor, and an instructor. She has studied with the best teachers in the world and because of that she has brilliant ears, an immense knowledge of the human voice, and how it should work. Rachel is also a skilled dramatic coach. She has an innate understanding of theater and relates information and dramatic coaching in a way that is relatable and inspiring. She rocks." - Matthew Anchel
