“I swear Richard knows more about the vocal anatomy than my laryngologist and ENT combined!! I went to him after being diagnosed with vocal polyps in a desperate attempt to avoid surgery and less then two months later, the same doctors that told me I NEEDED surgery said they didn’t see a trace of inflammation on my chords! In just a few sessions, Richard not only saved me from unnecessary surgery, but he taught me how to sing the style I want without risking any permanent damage to my throat! THANK YOU Richard!” - Kevin Miller (Metal Hardcore)

But it's easily as great as it is unique; he's a good friend of ours and we trust his experience, and he definitely has the gear and knowledge to accommodate any project. We'll be doing more work with him in the future and we can't wait to get back into that castle!" - David Schuler (Producer / EMI Records)

Truly a great and inspiring teacher!!” - Fatima Razic (Pop)

"Richard Fink has been able to help me grow as a vocalist, artist and as person. Every voice lesson I look forward to learning new things and experimenting with my voice. Richard's technique is different than any other vocal coach I've ever worked with in the most positive way. Ever since working with Richard, I've noticed an obvious change in my voice. My range has expanded, I've been able to understand my voice physically and have been able to inflect a wide range of emotions within a song. Richard doesn't just see me as another student, he sees me for who I am in every aspect in order to give me the best guidance possible!" - Shauna Topian (Musical Theater)

"Our 11 yr old daughter has learned more from Richard in a few months than she learned in the last 5 years working with other vocal coaches. Richard's vocal coaching has brought our daughter's singing to a higher level!" - Becky & Scott G (Parents)

“My daughter has previously trained with vocal teachers both in our area and in New York City for nearly ten years.  From her first vocal lesson with Richard, I felt that the experience was unique compared to anything she had done before. From the beginning, Richard got to know her as an individual and as an artist. He has taught her lessons in the anatomy of the voice, nutritional needs for the artist, staying in vocal health, as well as helping her understand how important balance is in her life as a performer and as a high school student- he teaches to the whole person. Since working with Richard these past seven months, my daughter has learned unique vocal exercises with outstanding results.  He has high expectations, great direction, warmth, kindness, patience and unparalleled knowledge. I feel it is a privilege for her to work with him and I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in the vocal performing arena!” - Mary T (Parent)

“Our 14 year old daughter has been taking vocal lessons since the age of five.  Over the years we have come across many different types of teachers with many different styles.  Richard is by far, the most knowledgeable and worthwhile vocal coach that our daughter has ever had.  She has been with Richard for over a year now via Skype and we have seen tremendous growth in her vocal capabilities. From a parent's point of view, doing the lessons on Skype, allows us to watch the lesson and to learn right along with her.  Richard is accessible and available anytime that we have questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Richard, without hesitation, to any serious vocal student interested in making huge progress!" - Kelly & Mike J (Parents)
