IT’S NYSSMA TIME – DON’T PANIC! READ THIS!

Karen’s mastery of proper technique for the singer/professional voice user is simply unparalleled. She imparts her philosophy, approach and techniques in ways that clients of every age and level can benefit.

Thank you for all the help and caring. It’s good to be able to ‘tawk’ again.

Karen – there’s no one better than you!!!! We’ve been through it all – nodes, hemorrhages, wrong diagnoses, etc. – you name it, we got through it – all because of you!!! And I’m still singing after all these years – how long ago did I meet you? 27 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen is the best of the best. I went to her in high school when I had nodes and with her help, they went away after just a few months. Fast forward 14 years later: I had an emergency singing issue happen while on a gig and with her advice and breathing exercises, I made it through the next week of gigs without another episode. She knows exactly how to take care of the voice and is caring and fun on top of that! I couldn’t recommend her more.

When I’m on my fourth gig for the week . . . and it’s the last set of the night . . . and I haven’t squeaked . . . and my falsetto is still working . . . I say out loud “Thank you, Karen Sussman!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help you gave me in regaining my voice. All of your suggestions and techniques you taught me helped me to sing beautifully this holiday season.

The improvement in my voice and breathing over a relatively short time has been remarkable. I find that I can speak and sing comfortably for longer periods of time and the throat pain I had been experiencing is greatly reduced. You have been a great help to me. I only wish I had found you years ago and would recommend you to anyone without reservation.

When the doctor referred us to you last November, I was doubtful my son would ever regain the magnificent voice he once had. The doctor said he had nodules on his vocal cords and recommended voice therapy. This month my son performed in his first community theater production. It was a musical, and thanks to you, this was the thrill of his life. You brought his voice back. It is as beautiful as ever. Through your expertise, he can continue to do what he loves most – SING!

I have studied with Ms. Sussman for years, having come to her with vocal problems and voice limitations, which have been overcome through using her techniques. As a professional, new vocal challenges regularly come along in performance and recording work. Ms. Sussman has always been able to quickly identify the problem and its solution. Her techniques are very accessible and effective, often yielding results beyond my own vocal expectations.

Thanks Karen! Your help has been invaluable. You’ve really shown me how to sound richer and less forced; how to get more without pushing as hard. It’s been making a huge difference!

All this being said, Karen Sussman is a fun, upbeat and positive person – making vocal studies with her really enjoyable. What more could I ask, except that she never retire!

Dear Karen, I am so glad that you are working with my son and stressing the proper technique in your lessons because his voice sounds so beautiful! Thanks to you Sean was recently cast in a leading role in the Off Broadway musical, A Stoop on Orchard Street. I know that with continued hard work, a little luck and your guidance he can achieve his goal of someday performing on Broadway! Thanks again.

Thanks for being an incredible voice teacher!!! I wouldn’t be able to sing without you! You’re the best!

All of your techniques work!

You are the whole reason why I still have a voice….you are the BEST teacher Karen….

I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me. You helped me at a very crucial time in my singing career. I really thank you and I will always practice what you taught me.
