“singing is a healing act from within our physical bodies. our voices were not given to us solely for performance sake. They are there for our pleasure and emotional release.”

Melissa Rose Hirsch

1:1 vocal COACHING

I’m Melissa Rose Hirsch, a vocal coach who works with the voice through the body.

I’ve worked with over 100 clients worldwide, supporting singers in reconnecting to their voices by reconnecting to themselves — their breath, their pelvis, and their nervous system. My work is gentle, specific, and deeply embodied. Rather than pushing sound from the throat, I guide singers to soften, ground, and let the voice rise from the body’s natural support.

Because of my work in both birth and voice, I’m deeply attuned to the connection between the pelvis, safety, and sound. I’m lovingly known as the vocal coach who helps you “sing from your pussy,” meaning your voice comes from your center, not from effort or strain. When the pelvis and nervous system feel supported, the voice opens with more resonance, confidence, and truth.

My sessions are nurturing and practical. I meet you where you are, hold steady space, and help your voice remember how it wants to move through you — with ease, depth, and pleasure.

What Singers are saying

  • Cassie L.

    As someone who can often live in their head, working with Melissa got me to trust my body. She has a magical way of bringing out the best and most authentic voice inside of you. I have trained for over 25 years with vocal coaches but never have been so proud of myself than after a lesson with Melissa.

    A session with Melissa is more than just a normal voice lesson, rather it is exactly what a voice lesson should be. Not only will you come away with exercises and tricks to hone your performance, but also a deeper understanding of your own voice and the vitality of putting it to use. She’s the perfect teacher for professionals looking to personalize a craft that has begun to feel like work, young artists looking to develop an authentic voice, or anyone feeling stuck. I’ve sung my whole life but for the past few years I felt like I completely lost my voice. Singing didn’t feel exciting or comforting anymore, it felt oppressive and painful. Working with Melissa showed me how to use music to process those feelings and come out on the other side with a voice that feels true to me.

    Taking voice lessons with Melissa continues to be one of the best leaps of faith and decisions I’ve made. Every lesson feels so sacred, and with each week that goes by I connect more with and learn more about past and current versions of myself. Melissa has a gift of cultivating an environment where I can come exactly as I am in that moment, feel safe to do so in the first place, and be met with leveled understanding and care. Her approach is warm, supportive, and compassionate, amongst much more, and there are few spaces as safe as her studio. I’ve watched both my voice and myself as a person evolve, open, and blossom in ways past my wildest dreams, and I encourage anyone who has even the tiniest spark about wanting to take lessons to make the jump.
