MEET The Founder
Founded by Jordanne Erichsen in 2018, Express Voice Studio is a vocal school originally located in Montreal, QC and now established in both Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. During her own training in opera, Jordanne recognized the often frustrating and painfully slow progression singers face throughout vocal training. After working with numerous accomplished singers across North America, Jordanne discovered the work of D.M.A Michael Warren’s NYC Studio, one of the top 10 vocal coaches in NYC for opera, broadway, pop, acting voice, and speech. She then went on to train in body mapping and Alexander Technique. Through these experiences she realized the key to unprecedented speeds of vocal improvement: A combination of practical exercises in place of abstract metaphors and an emphasis on body awareness including understanding how you can re-coordinate even the most ingrained habits in the body.
Having successfully eradicated severe vocal tension and discomfort in her own singing, Jordanne passionately dedicated herself to connecting other singers with teachers who could help them achieve the same result she had found: complete vocal freedom, where singing feels like absolutely nothing. Jordanne has carefully chosen each voice teacher at Express Voice Studio based on their experience in these areas. This is a singing school, a voice acting school, a community of vocalists of all levels, and a training ground for all things voice related.
So, What makes a great voice teacher?
In our opinion, students should look for the following:
– Success acquiring roles and gigs in their field
– Body mapping. Alexander Technique, Linklater, or Feldenkrais training
– The ability to tailor their teaching style to a student’s unique tensions
– Previous vocal health issues or vocal technique issues which they have overcome, and thus understand how to coach others through the same challenges
The fastest way to sing better is to develop the skill of self analysis. Your body is not the same as anyone else’s and so, our teachers work with you to identify your specific tensions, habits, and areas of improvement. We create a personalized vocal workout routine unique to you.
Each of our teachers have a slightly different approach to the voice based on their own journey. However, we all share common foundations:
Body awareness training in either Alexander Technique or a combination of multiple somatic body movement ideologies.
Successful on-stage performing experiences enabling us to help you with confidence, self talk, artistic interpretation, and concert / recording preparation routines.
An understanding that one size does not fit all. We do not take the same approach nor always the same exercises to help every student. We will analyze your voice and body individually and design a program specific to your needs and goals.
I created EVS with the hope that it would streamline the process for artists to find the RIGHT coach who can take them to the next level. We hand select each artist on our roster and know their strengths and weaknesses so that we can guide you to the best music lessons and artists for lessons and collaborations for YOUR needs.

We personally match every student with a teacher who aligns with their goals, genre preferences, and learning style. Because each of our instructors is also a working artist, we know their strengths, specialties, and approaches. This helps us ensure you’re paired with the right mentor—whether you’re training for auditions, improving vocal health, or developing your sound as a songwriter or producer.
What ages do you teach?
We teach kids ages 8+ (with some exceptions), adults and teens of all levels. While our community primarily focuses on adult learning, some teachers also accept younger students on a case-by-case basis, particularly for beginner piano, singing, or drum lessons.
Jordanne is such a great teacher. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. Not only do lessons fly by, they work, and I see the progress. I would highly recommend!
Its been 2 weeks since Im trying to call to have infos regarding their classes but no answer ... I left voicemails no call back .. Im starting to doubt the serious of the school are they still open??
I am not a perfect singer, not a professional singer but I am a singer. I love singing and music and singing makes me fearless.I first wrote a review in November 2018, and I remain as steadfast in my admiration today as I was then. Singing and voice training are pursuits I believe everyone should embrace—it is like breathing in the crisp air of spring, filling your lungs with vitality, your heart with joy, and your mind with music. Melody and rhythm awaken the body, and the very act of learning to sing instils confidence and an undeniable sense of happiness.The highlight of my week is undoubtedly my singing and piano lessons, and I can say with absolute conviction that you will adore your time with Jordanne Erichsen and Express Voice Studio. Much has changed since 2018. After exploring various vocal coaches, singing instructors, and music teachers that year, I struggled to find someone who truly understood my needs. As a professional speaker and guide, my voice is my livelihood, and after an intense season, I found myself suffering from vocal fatigue—speaking became painful, and I was in dire need of expert guidance.It was then that I discovered Jordanne Erichsen, a remarkable teacher who immediately recognised what was required. With her expert instruction, working two to three times a week for four months, my voice not only recovered but flourished, growing stronger and more resilient. Jordanne is an exceptional singing teacher, vocal coach, speech instructor, and music educator. She is both encouraging and exacting, ensuring that her students receive precisely what they need to develop and improve.Having taken singing lessons intermittently for many years, I decided to return to formal training alongside my vocal rehabilitation. Simultaneously, I resumed piano studies, which in turn refined my ability to read music, deepening my musical understanding. I meticulously recorded my progress, and the results were remarkable—my vocal range expanded significantly, and my speaking voice reached new levels of strength and clarity.One particularly joyous milestone was in August 2019, when all of Jordanne’s students had the opportunity to perform—an experience that was nothing short of exhilarating. Other opportunities to sing also came up and I worked hard with a purpose and goals to sing on a stage once again. Always exciting. On another occasion we had an opera singer help us with our performances. I love pop opera and opera and I really enjoyed the in person workshop. I have always been an irrepressible singer, bursting into song anywhere and everywhere, regardless of who may be listening. Now, I treat myself to singing lessons once or twice a week—not merely to enhance my professional voice but to give myself a goal, a sense of purpose, and something to strive towards. People who sing are happy people. Singer also always encourage other singers.Express Voice Studio offer affordable on line classes, live and on line workshops..Rather than offering material possessions, I believe that the gift of music and singing is an experience beyond value—one that is enriching, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling. Supporting the arts and local talent is an investment in creativity and culture, and, most importantly, it will bring you immense joy.I wholeheartedly recommend Express Voice Studio and Jordanne Erichsen.

Wonderful tool for remote learning when it comes to connecting fellow musicians and sharpening your skills.
Kit is amazing at helping me push myself out of my comfort zone and makes the classes fun and approachable. I'm so excited to keep going. Thanks Kit!
Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!
Everyone is so helpful and kind. From the first contact to your 100th class, you're sure to have a great experience.Lots of opportunity to grow your skill set and get out of your comfort zone while having fun !
I love my courses with Ian, he's very supportive and helpful and still pushes you to improve. He always adapts and finds different angles to see what works best with his student. It's always a pleasure.
I love everything about my lessons with Ian! His approach is creative and scientific, he always strikes the right balance between challenging and reinforcing, adapting to his students' needs and goals. He is a kind soul, super sensitive and empathic, has a great personality and excellent relational skills which made me feel secure and comfortable quickly at the beginning of our lessons, even though I had zero experience in singing. I am very happy with my improvement in a few months, it has been empowering. I highly recommend him and Express Voice Studio!
I have taken songwriting, vocal classes & piano lessons with Verona for only 2 months and I have already seen an immense improvement in my songwriting skills, my vocabulary and understanding of singing + songwriting. Verona helps you understand what she’s saying by providing imagery & her own tactical experiences. She also offers vocal production & explains to you exactly what she’s doing so that you know for yourself and makes sure you really understand why what she’s teaching is so important! She’s mastered her craft and you can tell how much she truly loves teaching, and singing! Happy to have the pleasure of working with her. Truly recommend. I wouldn’t have gotten this far in my craft without her along side to help guide me!
I highly recommend Ian! I found my teacher Ian through express and I could not speak more highly of him! Ian's teaching is superb and has really pushed me to become the singer I want to be. His approach is technical and thorough while also being fun and super supportive. Ian is very encouraging, positive and patient, and has given me the resources to believe more fully in myself as a musician. He will help you to get your voice and your mindset where you want it to be. I highly recommend Ian and Express Voice Studio!
Ian is an amazing teacher and I would 100% recommend him for singing lessons! He’s very patient, always coming up with new and original content for his classes and I’ve seen considerable improvements in my singing since I started taking lessons with him. Always bringing that great energy that makes you want to learn more and improve!
