Testimonials

Arbender definitely knows the industry and his students are very lucky to learn from his experience. Not only is he a great performer and teacher, but he is also a wonderful, generous person.

Professionals and students alike took away a vast amount of information from Arbender's workshop. Finally a teacher that quickly gets the results that are promised while teaching actors a deeper appreciation for the craft.

I was lucky enough to observe one of Arbender's sessions with a group of high school students. He made theater so accessible, relevant, and fun for those students. He covered everything from harmonizing a lyric to staging a number. The students learned so much and so did I.

Jamie has been an incredible coach for my daughter, who has a unique raspy voice. She not only helped her expand her vocal range but also significantly boosted her confidence. Jamie has a remarkable way of making each lesson fun, enriching, and inspiring. My daughter always comes out of her sessions with a big smile, feeling empowered and excited to continue growing as a vocalist. Jamie’s skill set, passion, and dedication truly make her stand out, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact she’s had!

Jamie has been a wonderful vocal coach and has helped me in so many ways since I started working with her. She’s helped me prepare for auditions by teaching me techniques to get into character and go over my lines. She’s taught me how to prevent straining my voice and differentiate my head and chest voice. She’s also guided me to hit notes I didn’t even know I could hit. Jamie has been an amazing teacher and I feel lucky to have her as a vocal coach, mentor, and supporter during my theater journey!

I started working with Jamie in 2021 when I was just 6 years old! We did virtual lessons and my voice grew so much stronger in a short amount of time. I learned how to properly warm up my voice and work on making my voice/sound my own. She is a fantastic teacher, very patient and kind! She allows me to choose songs that I want to sing, but also introduces me to new styles and pushes me to dig deeper into my range. I would highly recommend Jamie for people of all ages. She is very knowledgeable in music education!
