“Working with Mimi has been a life changing experience for me! In just two years Mimi has completely broken down my old and unhealthy singing habits and transformed my voice into a voice I never thought I could have. I was a musical theater singer who was always told that I needed to belt to get a better sound - which led to significant vocal strain and contributed to my poor singing habits. Mimi has taught me that belting isn’t the only way to get a loud supported sound, and that musical theater isn’t just one sound. Through cross training I now have a rounder and stronger mix, a better upper extension, and a new process in approaching this material. Everyday my voice feels healthier and happier now that I can more properly support it. Mimi is also incredibly helpful in recommending songs based on my voice and ability. She’s introduced me to new music that I would have been too afraid to try without her help. I would highly recommend Mimi to any singer who is looking to really expand their range and repertoire!”

“I spent 2 years studying under Mimi. She has shown me what would have taken me decades to figure out on my own concerning singing and music in general in a technical as well as holistic manner.”

“Highly recommended! I have been an adult vocal student of Mimi's for almost 10 years and have thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She has extensive knowledge and expertise in the technical aspects of proper breathing, vocalization, singing and performance, encompassing all genres of music. Mimi tailors her instruction to her student's age, goals, learning style and music preferences. Mimi's instruction and coaching helped me to develop my vocal sound, expand my vocal range and expression, and gain confidence in my performances (solo/choir). Mimi enhanced my life long joy of singing while maintaining that balance of instructor, coach, accompanist, cheerleader and friend. Mimi is the perfect vocal instructor for all of your vocal needs.”

“Mimi O'Neill is a wonderful teacher who truly knows her craft. I have been a student of hers for over two years. I am very pleased with the tremendous progress I have made since I began working with her. She knows how to adjust singing to make it sound ten times better. With her help, I have improved so much and I'm more confident about my abilities. She sends students in the correct directions and knows what is best for each voice she hears. I have learned about all of the components of both the physical and mental aspects of the art. I would highly recommend her as a teacher, as her expertise has changed the way I sing and approach music for the better. I am very grateful to be her student.”

“Long ago I was a self-taught rock ‘n’ roll singer with a lot of bad habits. I knew I wanted to get better and also expand my musical horizons. I also knew that if I didn't start singing properly, I probably would not be doing it for much longer. I found Mimi in the Yellow Pages while I was looking for a vocal coach in the area. That phone call changed my life. It’s almost 20 years later, and I am still performing and studying with Mimi. At my first audition with her, Mimi said she heard something in me that she thought could really be turned into something special. She said I needed to agree to let her completely tear down my bad habits and start me from scratch. I agreed and I bought into the process 100%. I am glad I did! Mimi exposed me to a world of music that I never even considered singing. She opened up my eyes (and ears) to the world of musical theater, opera and German lieder. I never knew that I had the potential to become the bass-baritone singer that I have become. Training with Mmi opened up MANY doors for me, and I have had the joy of performing in numerous recitals and musical theater and opera productions - as well as continuing to sing in rock bands THE RIGHT WAY! I have even had the pleasure of touring and performing in Europe a couple of times thanks to my work with Mimi. Mimi transformed my voice into something I am very proud of. I had fun performing before I met Mimi, but after learning the right way to sing, I now not only have fun performing, but I have fun singing. Singing with proper technique has allowed me to continue doing it all these years later. I am forever grateful to Mimi for the amazing instruction that she has given me as a teacher and a coach, as well as the support she has given me as a friend and colleague. If you have any interest in singing, and in seeing just how far you can go with it, I highly recommend studying with Mimi. Follow her instructions, and you will be amazed at what you can do!”

“We found Mimi by googling voice lessons. My daughter (14) has been taking lessons with her for over a year now for musical theater and the progress she has made is amazing. Even her school music teacher has noticed the difference in her. Mimi has been very accommodating when we are in need of a last minute lesson to brush up on a song that my daughter is using for an audition. She works through every note to make her do her best. She is very easy to work with and her prices are compatible with other voice teachers. A + + +”

“I have been taking regular voice lessons with Mimi now for over a year. This has literally been a time of great transformation for my singing under the expert guidance of Mimi. I arrived at Mimi's door for my first lesson feeling very frustrated, despite having taken voice lessons and performing for many years. As a lyrical coloratura soprano, I had been experiencing significant issues and felt unable to sing my favorite music of the classical genre. From the very first lesson, Mimi knew exactly how to handle my issues. Her methods involved using a very specific progression of vocal exercises designed to free my voice from old bad habits, strengthen my entire body to support the voice, and grow my voice into an instrument that consistently produces a free, natural, and beautiful sound on every note. In addition, she selected songs specifically to complement my exercises and help lead my voice down its own unique path of development. Each and every lesson with Mimi has provided unexpected “light bulb moments” of discovery as she leads me to learn more and more about my voice and myself. It is because of Mimi's brilliant understanding of the human instrument of voice and the best vocal techniques to develop and strengthen the voice, and her incredible patience, that I feel like I have accomplished so much in such little time. I am very happy with the results of all of my lessons together with and all of my hard work at home practicing. Finally, I feel like I am reaching my potential and with Mimi's guidance, I look forward to growing as a singer for many years to come.”
