Like people, every voice is unique and complex, and Susan’s approach is unique to you.

Susan is passionate about giving you the confidence to use your unique sound to take up space and be heard. She provides strong guidance and empathic support no matter where your career or your heart takes you.

When you connect to your truly free sound, created in a balanced way through skill, craft and passion, the world can connect to it, too, no matter the genre or style.

“Susan Derry changed my life…

I know that sounds like hyperbole but it isn’t!

Because she gave my confidence in my voice, that there wasn’t anything I couldn’t sing. She met me‬ where I was and helped me find what worked for me and just me! She works with you to find a mutual‬ vocabulary for your voice and where to place certain notes or phrases. I can’t recommend her enough!!!‬”

Caroline Wolfson, Helen Hayes Award Winner

It all begins with daring to take up space.

“I was so relieved after my first lesson…

Her patience and care for every one of her students can be felt in the room.

She is attentive to‬ every detail, creative in her teaching methods, and never EVER gives up on student. I know‬ that I would not be the performer I am today, and would not have the skills and confidence that I have if I‬ had never taken voice lessons with Susan Derry.‬”

Ethan Miller, University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater BFA Actor Training Program Grad, Helen Hayes‬ nominee
