Welcome to the home of Mondanaro Voice Studio.
I know you.
You are a working singer with specific industry goals, have high expectations and you need someone you can trust to guide you to bankable results quickly and thoroughly, in an environment that feels safe.
You are a young aspiring professional who needs the best guidance and instruction available to prepare for college, conservatory or young artist auditions; you are tired of feeling frustrated with a lack of improvement, feeling stuck, or getting the same feedback over and over again.
You are a passionate amateur who wants to be taken seriously and you desire to express yourself to your best ability. It feels deeply painful to feel like the real "you" is missing, or that you are not truly "yourself" without singing.
You want to take lessons, but have not known where to turn or had trouble trusting a teacher with your voice.
You have walked away from singing for another profession and feel like a "shadow artist", have been intimidated by vocal issues, or been shamed from singing in public.
You are the parent of a truly gifted child, and feel overwhelmed and not sure where to start, or how to help your son or daughter get the guidance their talent needs and deserves, with someone you trust.
You are in the right place, and I am so excited to meet you.

"I have been working with Francesca over the past two years. I specifically chose to work with her based on her experience working with larger voices, and her application of solid singing technique based on the understanding of vocal pedagogy and classical singing traditions . . . Francesca has an incredible ear, and a great respect for her individual students. She treats the work and the time spent in the studio as a safe space. I have learned to navigate the dramatic mezzo repertoire safely with my full voice and body . . . I wholeheartedly recommend Francesca as a solid, caring, and exemplary voice teacher. "

"I cannot recommend Francesca and her studio highly enough. There is nothing like walking into an audition room armed with a foundation and technique that cannot be shaken. Francesca will show you the path to your full potential by sheer virtue of her ability to turn what she hears and observes your body do and make it work FOR rather than against you. It's the same you- only BIONIC!"

"Francesca is truly a holistic voice practitioner, realizing that every voice is different and that the solution to each voice's problems will be different, too. She teaches with confidence and knowledge, which inspires your own confidence and encourages your innate knowledge about your own instrument. She knows that every voice is an individual and beautiful in its own way."

" I cannot recommend Francesca highly enough! If you can get to her live in NYC or get online - get into her studio NOW! Her Soul is a warm blanket and she'll guide you to finding your true instrument . . . with her intuition, care love and razor sharp ears, we rebuilt the voice. I have worked with many of the best teachers my entire career, Francesca is one of the best out there."

"Francesca Mondanaro is one of the best teachers of vocal technique in New York City. She has that rare combination of technical know-how and excellent instincts . . . Her teaching of breath support moved my singing to another level . . . Her observations about the role of the lower back in breath support and releasing the ribs while keeping the throat open and staying connected to the body, have played an enormous role in me finding my mature operatic sound.
