About Monica S.
4.9
(20)
I have been a professional Singer, Actor and occasional Dancer for the past 16 years with a Bachelors Degree in Musical Theatre. I love teaching just as much as I love performing. I have at least a little experience in everything performance related. You name it - chances are I've done it! The two areas I have the most experience teaching though are acting / audition coaching (I've been teaching this on and off for over 10 years), and vocal coaching / singing lessons.
While I am a highly trained singer that can sing anything: Pop, Rock, Church Songs, Broadway, Opera, etc. - I am NOT the best accompanist. As long as you are fine working on songs with a pre-recorded accompaniment track, or a capella - I'm the teacher for you!
I'm also lucky enough to be a successful working actor and have been a paid musical theatre performer in the Chicago-land area for the past 16 years. That being said, I will occasionally have auditions or rehearsals. Because of this, (and my lack of accompaniment skills) I try to keep my prices affordable in exchange for a flexible teaching schedule.
I'm also a former cast member of Walt Disney World and am a skilled puppeteer. I'm a funny / nerdy / silly teacher, so all levels of students will feel welcome. I look forward to teaching you! :)

Monica was a fantastic singing teacher. She helped me grow as a singer, as a performer, and as a person. She helped me truly find my voice and make me the singer I am today. She helped me with acting as well. She is incredible at what she does. I am a college student studying at Roosevelt university CCPA to get my BFA in musical theater and I couldn’t have done it with out her. She helped me along the way, every step. She is a fantastic teacher and there isn’t anything bad to say.

Monica is the best singing and acting teacher I have ever had! I worked with Monica for about 6 years and improved immensely. Monica helps you think about how you're singing so that you can apply it to any style of singing. As well as thinking about what you are saying when you're acting or performing so that it can be more engaging. She thinks about applying everything to life and auditions and it is super helpful. She is so kind and is so great at explaining what needs to be improved in such a beneficial way. She also cares about you and your well being so she is flexible with her schedule and takes your life into account which was really helpful when I was in rehearsals all the time. Overall, Monica is such a wonderful teacher and I highly highly recommend!
