Functional voice training rooted in somatics, movement, and real performance experience.

Working with singers and performers who want a voice that's technically grounded, expressively free, and sustainably theirs — across contemporary commercial styles.

Coaching that works with who you are, not against it.

About

How I work

My coaching starts from a simple premise: the voice doesn't operate in isolation from the person producing it. Tension, habit, history, and the nervous system all show up — and so does the body. Working with all of that, rather than around it, is where real change tends to happen.

The poetic opens the mind to possibilities. Without an actionable cue, though, it doesn't become experienced.

I work with singers across contemporary commercial styles — pop, rock, indie, R&B, music theatre — using functional voice training as the foundation. My background in somatic movement, yoga, and Ayurvedic practice shapes how I approach the body and mind in that work: not as a separate subject, but as the instrument itself.

Over twenty years of professional work across regional theatre, choreography, music production, and teaching has given me a range of reference points I draw on depending on what a particular artist needs. Sessions are responsive, not formulaic.

"I've made more progress in one year than three years of classical training."

What I offer

Work with me

I work with pre-professional and professional singers, independent artists, and performers. All one-on-one work is private and tailored — there's no fixed curriculum, just a responsive process built around where you are and what you're working toward.

Private vocal coaching

One-on-one sessions grounded in functional voice training and Somatic Voicework™. Available as single sessions or multi-week packages that reward consistent, regular practice.

Artist mentorship

For emerging artists working across songwriting, music production, and performance. We work on the full picture — craft, sound, identity, and how to sustain all of it.

Workshops & intensives

Group offerings exploring embodied voice, performance, and expression. Most recently: Embodied Voice, Los Angeles, March 2026 — co-led with vocal coach Doug Peck.

Most sessions are held over Zoom. Minneapolis-based students may have the option to work in person.

In their words

What artists say

"I've worked with many vocal coaches, but Zach is the first who has been able to show me how to confidently achieve the sound I want. He's able to create a calm and supportive environment that makes it easy and comfortable to learn, and his somatically informed approach has helped me actually internalize the techniques and understand my voice (and body!). All in all, a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Zach to anybody who has bounced off of rigid or confusing vocal instruction in the past."

— Alden Groves (Evoke)

"Zach is an exceptional teacher and an even better human. His somatic, body-first approach has completely changed the way I experience my voice, and he intuitively adapts each session to meet me where I am. I've made more progress in one year with him than I did in three years of classical training."

— Valentina Truong-Ferreira

"I have been a student with Zach for about six months, and before finding him, I was working with a few vocal teachers where I didn't feel comfortable unleashing my voice with them. Zach offers a somatic and comfortable approach to voice training, and I always feel at ease during our sessions. I have noticed a lot of progress in my voice, and Zach has a very good teaching style that has helped me come out of my shell and sing more to my potential. Looking forward to many more lessons, thanks Zach!"

— Morgan Alynn (WYTCH)
