About Diane

Voice Teacher and Vocal Performance Coach, Diane Tauser specializes in effective techniques that increase range, breath, tone and over-all vocal health. Her Raise The Bar! Vocal Performance Boot Camp has been a successful weekly class in New York City for many years. Privately, she coaches a broad range of genres, including Legit, Contemporary, Operaand Rock.

"My studio has only one mission. You the Artist.”

I am deeply committed to a Mind-Body-Spirit approach to the art of the performing voice. Throughout my musical career, it has been proven to me time and time again that when you free the mind, strengthen the body and release the creativity spirit, the voice emerges triumphantly!

"Diane's methods are direct, organic, creative, and rooted in a tradition of solid, healthy technique. I've seen her approach work in numerous styles from Classical to Show Tunes to Rock, Folk, and R&B, and with students of all ages and experience levels. She is the real deal."

- Brett Kristofferson,

Composer/Musical Director

MAC Award Winner

Teaching has always come naturally to me because I have such a passion for sharing tricks and techniques. I love hearing the voice soar!

I started studying and singing professionally in high school. I had a thriving business as a paid soloist, pianist and organist for various local churches, schools and social clubs. Organically, I found myself helping members of various choirs to be better singers. As soon as I learned something in my voice or piano classes, I couldn't wait to share it with other singers and musicians.

When I came to New York City to study professionally, I earned my way by playing for teachers, accompianing and coaching singers on the side.

My training as a vocal performance teacher has come through my many years as a performer, composer and vocal workshop entrepeneur. The following outlines my experience in the field:

- I am a produced musical theater composer/ bookwriter/ lyricist with three book musicals to my name: Notre Dame de Paris; Stone Cold Beauty, and I'll Be Seeing You (produced at the Kimmel Center For The Performing Arts in Philadelphia, PA). As a result, I have been invited to sit on audition panels and work with theatrical casts.

- At Tony Award Winning Broadway producer Ken Davenport's Davenport Studio, I was the resident voice teacher from 2010-2013. It was here that I created Raise The Bar, a popular group audition and performance class.

- I conduct large workshops for competeing a capela groups and for graduating students of universities about to enter the professional market. Most recently, in April 2018, I conducted an audition workshop for the University of Utah in the Theater Studio at Playwrights Horizon on West 42nd Street, New York, NY.

About the lesson

I offer an initial 2HR assessment session. This is not an audition but an opportunity for the new student to sing in a relaxed and safe work environment.

For intermediate/advanced students, I like to hear the artist sing different songs, maybe the whole thing or maybe just a few bars of music. I then give my assessment to overall performance and offer my thoughts as to technical adjustments, musical styling, along with suggestions for new songs and material.

Finally, we begin to work vocal techniques based on the students level, from beginner to professional. At the end of the session, the student has a great blueprint for ongoing study or for the next audition!

I have extensively worked within the theater community from students at Rosie's Kids and the Professional Performing Arts High School (PPAS) to professionals who have performed on Broadway and Off-Broadway (42nd Street, Les Miserables, Cagney, Kinky Boots).

I also have the occaisional opera student. But close to my heart is working with rock and pop composer/performers -

Oh - and I specialize in rock tenors!

There are so many good, reputable teachers in this city. Take a class with someone who strikes your interest. In the lesson, you will know if you connect with the teacher. This is so important because you must develop trust and a willingness to explore new ideas.

Most recently, in April 2018, I conducted an audition workshop for the University of Utah in the Theater Studio at Playwrights Horizon on West 42nd Street, New York, NY. Videos soon to be available on my website.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. How often should I study?

2. If you are a beginner, ask about range and your voice category.

3. If you are intermediate, ask about material, song choices.

4. All levels: Initially communicate your problems as you see them. Then ask specific questions about resoving them. i.e.; "Why can't I hit that high note?" "Why am I running out of breath?"

5. Good singing lessons are expensive. Ask the teacher if they have any discount programs or financing.
