"Diane Allen is not only a top notch vocal coach, but a warm and wonderful person. My voice was a wreck. Trauma and stress had taken a toll. She gave me real insight on how trauma affects the body and vocal cords. She worked with me patiently and kindly on my worship music, giving me the tools to help bring out the best in my voice. Always encouraging! 2 1/2 months later, the change in my voice is obvious! I highly, highly recommend Diane as a vocal coach. I would have never gotten this far without her! She’s amazing!!
