Alisha Ruiss, a high soprano known largely for her “heartfelt belter’s voice” (Montreal Gazette) has numerous enthusiastic reviews to her name. Her singing has been described as rich and expressive” (Broadway World.com), and her performances as “Broadway calibre” (Les Misérables, Daniel Ouimet, Info Culture; Cabaret, Nathalie Katinakis, Musical Avenue.fr)

Originally from southwestern Ontario, Alisha graduated from the classical Voice Performance program at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, where she studied with the late Winston Purdy, and where continues to study with Elizabeth Koch.  She has also taken lessons with Susan Eichhorn Young (New York Broadway coach), and attended several acting workshops with the beloved late Jacqueline McClintock, eventually furthering her study of Meisner technique in the Neighborhood Playhouse summer program in New York City.

Most of her performance life has been concentrated in musical theatre.  More recently, she has focused her attention on writing and composing.  Along with renowned composer Jonathan Monro, she is a proud co-founder of the first musical theatre writers workshop in Montreal, in collaboration with The Canadian Musical Theatre Writers Collective.  

Alisha has performed on stages in Toronto (The Rivoli), Montreal (Le Balcon, Segal Centre & the Centaur) & New York (54 Below & Don’t Tell Mama’s), both in book shows and in cabarets that she wrote, produced and directed.  Selected stage credits include Gianetta (The Gondoliers), Johanna (Sweeney Todd), Sally Bowles (Cabaret), Ulla (The Producers), Velma (Hairspray), Fantine (Les Mis) and Ms Sherman (Fame, Just For Laughs, Montreal), where she replaced the renowned Québec pop star Marie Denise Pelletier, learning the role in less than 36 hours.

As a teacher, she is known to be personable and patient, intuitive and generous.  She looks forward to meeting you!

Dramatic coaching

Level up your skills as a singing actor. Great singing is about more than just hitting the right notes — it’s about storytelling, emotion, and stage presence. Whether you’re preparing for an opera or musical theatre role, an audition, or you simply want to make a deeper connection with your audience, dramatic coaching will help you to immerse yourself fully in the music and captivate your listeners. You will learn to about character preparation, interpretation of text and subtext, acting and stage techniques for singers, expressive movement and body language, stage presence, and confidence-building techniques.

Singing lessons For All Levels

Whether you’re just starting to explore your voice or you’ve been performing for years, our singing lessons are built to meet you where you’re at. Beginners learn solid, healthy technique from day one—no prior experience needed. Artists and advanced singers come to refine their sound, fix nagging issues, or get tour-ready with stamina-focused training. Every session is customized to your voice and goals, with flexible scheduling that allows for both regular coaching and drop-in tune-ups when needed.

Audition prep

Preparing for an audition? We’ve got you covered. These sessions focus on performance confidence, vocal polish, and authentic delivery—so you can walk in with a clear plan and stand out. Whether you’re auditioning for a musical, a band, or a conservatory program, we’ll help you choose the right material, shape your interpretation, and fine-tune your technique under pressure.

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!

Voice coach Robert Popolii

Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!
North York voice teachers Tylor van Riper

Rebecca

I absolutely LOVE Tylor. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Tylor really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.

Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection.

I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.

Julian Basurto

Throughly enjoyed my lessons with Express and Ian! Would definitely recommend. I looked for a long time for a singing teacher that I could have fun with, connect with, and grow my voice. Ian was definitely that teacher for me. The concerts were great too to be a part of.
Thank you guys!
