Testimonials

  • Cay is an insightful teacher who quickly and accurately assessed the vocal needs of me and my quartet. He used accessible language and was able to demonstrate techniques, and gave all of us easy to replicate tools to use on our own and as a group. Singing for a teacher or coach can make people feel vulnerable, and Cay really made that easy and non-threatenting, and I personally feel very comfortable working with him. I recommend him without reservation!

  • I've been working with Cay for a few years now, and he is such a fantastic teacher and human being to work with. I came to him with an existing vocal background, and he has been able to help me keep my voice healthy as well as experiment with new tools and techniques to add to my toolbox. He's helped me to improve my ear training immensely and to find chest voice, which barely existed for me before! He's an incredibly patient teacher who will meet you where you're at whether you're an experienced singer or just starting your vocal journey. I can't recommend his services enough!

  • I've had an amazing experience with Cay's voice lessons both in-person and over Zoom. He is unbelievably patient and willing to either work with you on a specific agenda going into a class, OR working with you on the fly as you discover in real time what you really want or need from a voice teacher. Can't recommend highly enough.

  • Cay is so helpful and insightful in his lessons! I was nervous to do my first ever voice lesson as an adult, but he made me feel very welcome and not judged at all - and he helped me discover all sorts of new things about my own voice!

    - Tessa Cutler-Wood

  • Cay is an amazing vocal instructor! He teaches such helpful techniques and strategies in a way that makes you feel comfortable, like singing with a friend. Anyone who wants to learn more about singing or music in general would be hard pressed to find someone better than him to work with 😊

  • Cay is great at giving me tools to tackle each of my vocal challenges. When I started taking lessons, I was suffering from vocal fatigue and loss of voice. Now, I can sing for hours without fatigue and have progressed to work on developing other vocal skills. His coaching is very positive and encouraging and I love that I can take lessons virtually. I highly recommend him as a vocal coach for any level singer.

  • Cay Outerbridge has made me much more confident in my singing skills. During my lesson he listened to what I was hoping to get out of the session and also suggested some exercises to improve other areas of my singing. He teaches with a smile and lots of encouragement. I really enjoy my lessons with Cay!

    - Olga Shaw

  • I've been taking voice lessons from Cay for about three years and I've felt tremendous improvement in my voice during that time. He's a very encouraging and supportive teacher who tailors his lessons to whatever you want or need.

  • It has been a joy to explore my voice and singing with Cay. As someone who enjoys singing but feels a bit self-conscious about it as I’ve never had any training, it seemed a bit daunting to sing and expose my flaws to someone other than myself. However, Cay made me feel very comfortable. With a mix of humor, science and repetition, I have been able to reduce the strain on my voice, increase the resonance, and expand my range. While I am still in the early phases - and not yet ready to sing in front of an audience! - I have already seen progress and look forward to continuing to work with Cay.

  • Cay is the best! I've been taking voice lessons with him for a little over a year and have seen a huge improvement in my vocal technique. His instruction is suited in real physiology which is huge for me as I have been frustrated before with vocal instructors who use a lot of metaphors that are hard to translate into what to do with my body. With Cay I've been able to get more in tune with how my body makes singing happen, and I've discovered axes of control in my voice that I didn't know existed.

He puts so much thought and care into his approach, which creates a productive, enriching environment for challenging yourself and trying new things. I am so pleased with what I’ve been able to accomplish from our virtual sessions - it’s been an absolute highlight of 2021 for me!

  • After following his suggestions, I could instantly hear an improvement in my own sound. Singers of any level should absolutely go to Cay for personal vocal instruction.

  • My lessons with Cay have been really worthwhile. He has a keen ear for zeroing in on areas that need adjustment. He has a big bag of effective and easy to apply techniques and tips for specific areas. He sprinkles in helpful tidbits of his vocal theory and anatomy knowledge. He is supportive and keeps things light and moving without any feeling of hurry or drudgery. I initially signed up for 3 lessons with Cay. After just 2 lessons, I was so pleased with the productivity that I increased it to 5. I highly recommend giving Cay a try.

  • Cay is an amazing teacher and coach. He guides you to the best use of your own instrument with incredible insight, unlimited patience and infectious enthusiasm. When working with a quartet, just multiply all of that by four.

    — Richard Critz

  • Working with Cay has really helped me get my voice back into shape and learn how to keep it that way. I really appreciate that he explains the science and reasoning behind everything he teaches so I can apply these teachings to my voice even when I’m outside of a lesson. Working with Cay has been both fun and incredibly helpful, and I highly recommend signing up for a virtual session!
