“Sophie’s singing lessons gave me tools to build an ongoing practice for embodying my voice. I learned to remove energy blocks through sound while also gaining practical musical knowledge I could build on. The practice we built together not only made me a better singer but also nurtured a trust in the creative process giving me the confidence to leap in other areas of my life.”

“When I recently found myself in a situation where I needed to sing publicly every week, and having almost no prior singing experience, a friend introduced me to Sophie at Voice Alchemy in Berkeley. And I’m very grateful, because the experience has been revealing and nourishing in ways I didn’t expect out of voice lessons. I think of Sophie not only as a vocal coach and but as a guide to discovering myself through the experience of singing. Working with Sophie has rekindled creativity I haven’t experienced since childhood.”

“Sophie Cooper offers a fluid and deeply therapeutic approach to voice coaching. I began working with Sophie in an effort to heal and refine my voice after neglecting it for many years. Sophie sees clearly how to draw out my strengths and where I most need encouragement and support. I would recommend Sophie Cooper to anyone: beginners, seeking to explore the healing powers of the voice; or advanced singers looking to add a level of whole-body attunement to their existing vocal practice. ”

“When I started searching for voice lessons in Berkeley, I knew that I was going to need something different. I wanted a voice coach that would help me work with my anxiety and help me to explore my voice not just walk me through a series of scales or traditional signing exercises. Sophie created a safe space for me to explore my voice with lots of support and no judgment. She guided me through signing exercises to open my voice, expand my range, learn songs, and find my natural tone. I feel so much more confident in my voice and excited about signing - just in time to sing to/with my first child.”
