Annie Pichan Voice Studio

Endlessly curious about voice.

Technique. Artistry. Storytelling. Joy.

Singing can be a vulnerable act.

At APVS, Annie’s goal is to cultivate an environment rooted in:

  • Compassion

  • Care

  • Safety and trust

  • Permission

  • Curiosity

  • Encouragement

  • Artistic risk-taking

  • Joy

  • Play

Students are encouraged to experiment, take artistic risks, and embrace the messiness that is inherent to growth and discovery. Annie believes that observation, listening, intuition, attentiveness to the body's innate wisdom, and reflection are paramount to this process. There is great integrity in allowing ourselves to be curious as we discover who we are as artists, as well as what we want to convey.

Testimonials

"I've grown not only as a student, but as a person."

- Ethan N.

I started voice lessons to pursue my interest in music and to gain confidence in my own voice. Annie’s expertise in her craft, along with her kind and empathetic approach, has created an environment which allowed me to evolve not only as a student, but as a person as well.

“I’ve agreed to sing in an online ad, something I never thought I'd do!"

- Jamie W.

Annie has been an amazing teacher, and I'm so grateful I found her. My voice has grown so much: it's more powerful and resonant, and I now sing songs I never thought I could. The breathing work we've done together has made a huge difference, and I feel far more confident singing in front of others. I'm so thankful for everything she's helped me achieve, and I know my progress will only keep growing.

"Instead of saying 'I can't do that,' I say 'I just need the right technique.'"

- Abigail C.

Since starting voice lessons with Annie Pichan, I've noticed tremendous differences. When I see music with notes higher than an E5, I don't panic anymore. I've become so much more confident in my voice, especially when belting.

"I finally had the confidence to sing the National Anthem in front of a crowd!" - Matthew B.

I'd wanted to take voice lessons for a long time but never knew where to start or who to choose. From the first time I met Annie, I knew she was the right teacher for me. She immediately identified the issues I was having and taught me to sing with less strain and effort. Since then, I've received compliments on how much my voice has improved, and I've found a renewed love for singing. I'm excited to keep growing, and I'd recommend Annie to anyone who wants to become a better, more confident singer.

The Evidence-Based Voice Pedagogy Difference

Evidence-Based Voice Pedagogy (EBVP) provides a framework for informed, ethical, and effective voice teaching. The instructional philosophy at Annie Pichan Voice Studio is guided by the Evidence-Based Voice Pedagogy (EBVP) framework introduced by Dr. Kari Ragan in her 2018 Journal of Singing article.

Every technical decision made at APVS is guided by three essential principles:

Voice Research

Current evidence from voice science, acoustics, phonetics, anatomy, motor learning, and related disciplines.

Teacher Expertise

More than twelve years of voice teaching experience, ongoing professional development, mentorship, artistic performance, and teaching observation.

Student-Centered Training

Instruction is individualized to each singer’s voice, goals, learning style, and artistic identity.

Rather than guessing or relying on one-size-fits-all exercises, this approach means that:

  • Every vocal exercise has a clear purpose and is task specific.

  • Technical concepts are explained in an easy-to-digest, playful format.

  • Progress is intentional, observable and measurable.

  • Instruction and assigned exercises evolve as each student's voice develops.
