TESTIMONIALS

"Melissa Harding is instrumental to the success of my theatre company, Belasco Theatre Company. As the resident Vocal Director, Melissa instructs the students in group & duet harmonies and teaches them vocal technique. She has a natural ability and creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere with the kids. They respond to her, love her and grow immensely from her training. Students who take private lessons with her improve their vocal range, learn proper vocal health and become more confident on stage." - Shanti Belasco

"My teenage son has been taking voice lessons for several years with Melissa. In this time, he has matured as a performer and a singer. With her extensive background in musical theater, Melissa not only works effectively on the voice but also focuses heavily on song selection and performance. She has a wonderful manner with young performers and serves as a mentor as much as she does as a vocal coach." - Christa Givich

" As a student and performer, I must say that Melissa has not only been a terrific teacher, but also an inspirational figure and mentor, for she has taught me the principles of taking care of yourself in order to remain an elite singer. Furthermore, she has always taught me to master difficult ballads and solos by treating them as if they were truly easy, thus creating a sense of optimism when doing so. In almost every aspect, Melissa Harding is one of those rare performing artists/musicians that is inspiring as well as genuine on and off the stage." - Cole Wagner

" Melissa has been my son's vocal coach for 6 years and has proved to be very effective with preparing him for each role he has taken on with The Belasco Theatre Co. She has enabled him to grow as a performer not just with stellar voice instruction but dealing with the whole person and everything that is entailed in creating a character. Her attention to detail and her caring approach is invaluable. She has made an enormous contribution with my son's ability to engage and influence audiences of all types. I recommend her highly to anyone seeking effective coaching." - Vicki Fahrenholz
