About
What’s McCloskey Voice Studio all About?!
The McCloskey Voice studio is
About learning how to use your voice technically. I’ll teach you the physical/science-based things that you can do to improve your sound, your range, your flexibility and your breathing.
About learning how to use your voice expressively. I’ll help you find the emotional connection that’ll help you communicate the story you’re telling with your songs.
About learning to be a confident and joyful singer! I foster a safe and accepting studio that allows you to find and love your unique and beautiful voice.
About lifelong learning! I teach all ages and stages!

“MJ makes you feel loved, encouraged and confident when singing! It’s like she knew my voice when I didn’t.”
- KATIE
My students are prepared to perform!
It all begins in the studio. I will always ask you what your goals are and what your singing style is, but I will also encourage you to explore different styles of singing. Here are some examples of my current students exploring different genres.
More video examples!
Classical, Musical Theatre, indie and jazz are all styles that need a base of good and appropriate technique to sound their best.
