At EXPRESS Voice Studio, we are a full-service music school and arts school specializing in singing lessons, songwriting, music production, piano, drums, and modelling, acting and voice acting. Our team of professional instructors brings over 100 years of accumulative experience as performing artists, educators, and industry professionals, ensuring every student receives expert guidance tailored to their creative goals. Students can participate in concerts, take part in workshops, and learn from masterclasses.
Our students also enjoy a monthly newsletter filled with free singing and voice acting tips, guided vocal workouts, songwriting insights, local artistic opportunities, and opportunities to take lessons with new artist who join our roster of Artists Who Teach. At EXPRESS Voice Studio, we empower every student to develop their skills, creativity, and artistry in a supportive, professional environment. Discover music training taught by working professionals.
The fastest way to improve as a singer is to develop the skill of self-analysis. No two bodies or voices function in the same way, which is why EXPRESS Voice Studio does not follow a single, fixed curriculum.
Instead, our teachers work with each student to identify individual tension patterns, habitual movement, technical gaps, and artistic goals, then design a personalized vocal training plan specific to that student. Each lesson builds on what your voice and body actually need, rather than moving through pre-set exercises.
Specialized Teachers -> A Tailored Learning Experience
Every instructor at EXPRESS brings their own area of specialization. Some focus on contemporary styles such as R&B, pop, rock, or vocal distortion. Others specialize in opera, musical theatre, classical technique, voice acting, music production, songwriting, voice acting or speech and vocal health. This range of expertise allows us to support a wide spectrum of musical goals.
JOIN THE EXPRESS COMMUNITY: LEARN FROM ARTISTS
We Match Our Students.
Because our teachers specialize in different techniques, styles, and outcomes, finding the right teacher matters.
EXPRESS Voice Studio operates with an active administrative and artistic matching process. Our team knows each instructor’s strengths, training background, and areas of expertise, and uses that knowledge to guide students toward the teacher best suited to their voice, goals, and learning style.
Whether a student wants to:
- Learn to sing with vocal distortion
- Develop a specific style such as R&B or opera
- Prepare for university auditions or entrance exams
- Build confidence for performance or recording
-> We place them with an instructor equipped to address those exact needs.
Our Mission
For decades, traditional music schools have relied on artists as their foundation, while compensating them at a fraction of the value they generate. In many institutional models, instructors are paid hourly wages that require them to teach long days for limited pay, leaving little time or energy to pursue their own artistic work.
As a result, many highly trained musicians have been forced into a difficult trade-off: teach continuously to survive, or step away from their art altogether. This structure has not failed because artists lack discipline or ambition, but because their labor has historically been undervalued within educational systems.
At EXPRESS Voice Studio, our mission is to challenge this legacy. We believe artists deserve compensation that reflects their expertise and contribution, and the freedom to remain active creators, not just service providers. When artists are fairly supported, they are able to sustain their craft, continue evolving, and bring richer experience into the cultural world.
Supporting artists in this way is not only an ethical choice, it is essential to the future of music education. This belief defines EXPRESS Voice Studio.
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!
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
– A uniqueness factor- they are inspiring, they are original, they are artists.
