Testimonies

“Heather’s studio provided me with not only a safe environment where I could freely sing and express myself but also with a life-long mentor that helped me grow into the person I am today. Weekly voice lessons gave me the opportunity to strengthen my voice and vent through songs. I would not be who I am today without Heather and her lessons.”

"Heather became so much more than our daughter’s outstanding voice teacher and audition prep coach – she became a mentor, a trusted friend, confidante, and Raina’s number one fan. As our daughter grew up in her studio, the most amazing voice began to flourish under Heather’s guidance. She expertly taught Raina how to safely develop her voice into a healthy instrument. At 12, Raina was cast into her first professional stage production. More shows followed that one, along with rave reviews, recognition, and awards by theatre critics with the Orlando Sentinel, Orlando Weekly, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, and BroadwayWorld.com. Raina is now preparing for college auditions as she casts her eyes to the future, with plans to turn her passion into her career. We could not be more grateful that Heather has been such an integral part of Raina’s journey, and we look forward to the day when she sits with our family as we watch the curtain open on Raina’s first Broadway show."

"What happens in Heather Charles’ classroom goes FAR beyond her classroom. Heather guides my daughter each week in growing her skills, strengthening her voice and pushing herself beyond limits; however Heather is not your typical voice teacher. She teaches important life skills. She encourages confidence and courage. She reminds her students to smile and laugh, even when things get hard. She creates a safe and positive environment where it’s okay to make mistakes. She makes learning exciting and fun. I’ve never met someone more passionate about helping others reach their full potential. Thank you Heather for sharing your gifts and talents in a way that allows others to recognize their own. "

"Heather is such a fun and great person to be around. She is always the person to look for the positive sides of things, and that’s a great quality in a teacher. It’s so nice to always have that person that is always there to help. I have been working with her for 7 years now, and I still always look forward to my lessons with her every week. She is so sweet and so funny. I don’t think I’ve ever left a lesson with her in a bad mood. If it weren’t for her, I don’t think I’d be where I am today. And I am so so thankful for all of the support she’s given me throughout the years."

"Ms. Heather is one of the best teacher I’ve had. She has taught me so much and helped me improve my voice and confidence. Heather is so enthusiastic it makes it impossible to be upset or tired in her class. She helps with my acting as well as my singing. No matter what her mood is she’s always smiling and trying to make me smile too. She made me who I am today and I’m thankful for her."
