The Performer Studio - Client Testimonials for Kait Kingston-Eckman

Kait has a clear way of communicating what works and what doesn't work in your performance. She gives clear feedback, and her suggestions are always constructive. Kait concerns herself with helping you look and be your best as a performer. She emphasizes being completely alive and real in the moment. She believes in hard work and draws from a variety of techniques that provide excellent results. I keep going back to her because I trust her judgment unequivocally. - Rose-Yvonne Colletta - Los Angeles, CA Professional Actress/Singer
	Kait has done more wonders with my voice than any teacher I've ever studied with. I always knew that she cared for both me and my voice. The quality of her technique is impecable and easy to follow. I get excited every time I practice because my voice continues to grow with style and so does my self-confidence! She's a joy to work with! - CeCy Rodriguez - Mexico City, Mexico - Professional Actress/Singer
Working with Kait has been a fantastic experience. I’ve learned new aspects and qualities of my voice that I didn’t even know existed. I’ve worked through my stage fright and learned how to embody the words of a song and make it my own. I recommend her coaching for beginners as well as professional performers to broaden their musical expertise. - Stephanie Young Merzel - Salt Lake City, UT Singer
	Kait is not only an great voice coach, but she is a great listener, motivator, and she treats you like a friend. She believes in and works hard for the success of her students. Not only has she strengthened my voice physically, but I am now stronger in how I think and feel about my voice. She has given me more confidence than anyone I have ever known. She makes her students feel comfortable and calm. I have been so lucky to have her in my life as a mentor. I now think of myself primarily as a singer, and know that I can be for the rest of my life. Devyn Hill- Salt Lake City, UT Singer
Working with Kait has not only improved my voice, but more importantly my perspective about my voice. When I first started working with Kait I was eager to learn, but low in confidence. Kait's encouragement and guidance gave me confidence and patience as my voice developed. Kait taught me how to approach a song both technically and artistically. She chooses songs that allow me to develop the character and story while developing my technique. Her background as an actress and musician make Kait a dynamic and well-rounded teacher. - Heidi Hackney - Salt Lake City, UT Actress/Singer
	Kait has helped me so much and has taken me and my voice farther than I ever would have imagined. She has also helped me with my confidence which is one of the most important thins to me ever. She has helped me get to where I want to be as a singer. Because of my improved vocal and performance skills, I was recently asked to sing the National Anthem in front of about 6,000 people! I feel ready and confident to do this. If I hadn't started taking lessons with Kait, I would not be THIS CLOSE TO MY DREAM RIGHT NOW! Thank you SO MUCH for helping me with my singing, performance and most of all, my confidence!!! - Jessica Fritzler- Santaquin UT Singer, age 16, final callbacks, Nasville Star

Kait is a warm, thoughtful, insightful and talented teacher. While at San Diego State, in addition to teaching formal courses, she also coached singers privately for classes and productions. In a mid-sized program like ours, it only takes one or two Kaits to raise the level of the entire department. Kait set the standard for disciplined work and was able to instill her work ethic into our graduate students and undergraduates. She was deeply appreciated by the entire department. As a performer, she is compelling and wonderful. She is a hard worker who makes every performance all it can be. She thrills audiences. Because I work in Los Angeles as a director - I occasionally have the opportunity to see her perform. I always make an effort to see her work - she is a joy on stage. I seek to cast her in my productions and projects. I recommend her whole-heartedly. She is a wonderful colleague and a compassionate person. - Randy Reinholz - San Diego State University - Director of the School of Theatre, Television and Film / Los Angeles Director
