FAQ
How do we meet online?
Technology is a miracle, that’s how. I use a platform that’s like Skype or Facetime. We both sign in to my online studio, and we can hear and see each other the whole time. We can also share files, write notes, watch videos, play recordings, etc. This means that it doesn’t matter where either of us happens to be at the time of our session! I mean…maybe don’t be in the shower, no matter how good you think you sound in there.

Can you really hear what I sound like online?
Yep. Remember that these are coaching sessions, not recording sessions in a studio. The program I use defaults to the highest audio quality possible and prioritizes audio quality over video quality. If you have a slow wifi connection, if your laptop battery is low, or if the weather happens to be an uncooperative torrential downpour, I may not be able to see you the whole time, but I’ll still be able to hear you as if we’re in the same room. I also use noise-cancelling earbuds to isolate your sound from any other noise that may be present.

How does payment work?
Payment is always made in advance at the time of registration on my website; you will be redirected to PayPal upon registration. If we are committing on the phone, I’ll take a credit card over the phone and process it while you’re on the phone.

I’m skeptical, is there a way to try it out first?
I would never ask you to commit to anything without confidently knowing what you’re getting into. Also, I don’t take on clients if I don’t believe I can get them results. Your results will depend on your willingness to do the work. Learn more about what it looks like to work with me here.

What if I can’t make it to my prepaid, scheduled session?
You can read all about my policies on cancellations, makeup sessions here.

I’ve lost my voice bunches of times, can you still help me, or am I a lost cause?
I can absolutely help you, and I recommend we get together sooner rather than later. It can be a lot of work to recover from vocal damage and to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones. But if you are committed to doing the work required, you can recover from damage and go on singing without fear of ever losing your voice again. Ever.

Does singing healthy apply to genres like rock and pop? I don’t want to sound weird.
YES!! This is why I am in business and what I am most passionate about. I believe that healthy singing should NEVER compromise your style as a singer and that your singing style should never compromise your abilities to sing healthily. I can help you sound the way you want to sound without compromising your own vocal health. No one wants to sound weird, but everyone wants to be healthy. I’ve got you.

I’ve seen lots of videos on belting and they’re all different and pretty confusing. Why should I learn how to belt from you?
The main difference between the proper, healthy belting I teach and what you see/hear elsewhere is that proper, healthy belting is as precise, simple, and as repeatable as flipping a light switch. Once you’ve learned it, you will never wonder whether or not you are doing it correctly, and you will never have to re-learn how to do it. Healthy belting is powerful and can be done all day without any damage to the voice, plus it can be modified to be used with a variety of genres of singing.

Do I have to audition to work with you?
NO! Goodness, no. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Any level of singer is qualified to work with me. With that, I do have a couple of requirements for singers that work with me one-on-one: 1) you must be a goal-driven singer with a hunger to improve, 2) you must be committed to doing the work between our sessions. Your progress hinges on your willingness to practice and make changes. If you can commit to those things, I can commit to you. Learn more about what it looks like to work with me here.
No joke, Katti Power is a complete and utter bad ass. She’ll turn you into one as well if you give her the chance.
I’m so excited – I got the role I told you I was called back for (the initial audition consisted of a monologue and my singing “That’s Rich,” which I had worked with you in my VIP session)! Thank you so much, Katti, for your training! I’m thrilled, and will continue to make the efforts to sing without fear and apply the proper technique so I can sing without getting fatigued.
Now that I have had that hour session I know how to overcome my straining and relax my throat when singing up high. The way Katti teaches, the illustrations she gives, and the exercises she uses help me to understand in a way I’d never thought about before…Knowing how quickly she fixed my problem, I feel extremely confident that she would be able to help anyone else…
I feel like I finally learned the secret of singing I’ve been looking for all my life! I always felt like my teachers didn’t quite “get” my voice and there was something either I really wasn’t getting or they really were not teaching. Now I know what it is! Thank you Katti!!
Thank you, Katti. I’ve learned so much from you; no words can express my gratitude!
I had the honor of working with Katti right before the Talent Quest National Competition. In only a few short lessons she had me miles above where I started out. Her methods help you stretch your range while keeping your vocal health. She continuously helped me get better each time we met.
Katti…helped me realize that my voice will always be there, and I just need to trust that it knows what to do. The biggest change was our work with how forward my belt is going. I had learned how to do it before, but something wasn’t clicking for me to keep it forward. Katti listened to my fear about having true power in my voice and allowed me to have a safe place to start the work to let myself be heard. I ended up belting a note I had tried to… belt for 10 years!
[Katti] is the best singing coach I've ever had. I love working with her because she's so supportive, she has such a great ear, and she can get to the heart of any of my problems right away. She's positive, very knowledgeable, and most of all - one of the biggest reasons I would highly recommend Katti is that she's a great human being.
I’m really not sure where I would be without you. You have given me such confidence in so many areas and have given me the skills to take my performing to the next level.
I’m most excited to know the difference between legit and belt voice and practice choosing how to sing and speak intentionally in a way that is healthiest for me.
Katti Power is bar-none, hands-down, one of the very best voice teachers out there. I’ve been singing for 23 years, and have had several teachers over the years, from NYC to LA. Many of my teachers have been good, but I learned more in one lesson with Katti than I did several months with other teachers.
I’m singing songs I did not think I would ever be able to sing!
I use to think my voice just couldn’t sing certain notes in certain ways, but that is completely false! I wish I had known these techniques back when I was struggling and performing every day. And knowing how to sing in my uncomfortable areas without hurting my voice is amazing. I feel like I could sing almost anything now!!
I can sing higher again and I’m more confident in my belting abilities, as well as my breath support!
I believe you can always improve your craft, so for the past few years I’ve been working with internationally acclaimed vocal teacher Katti Power.
Thank you so much for believing in me and for helping me become who I am today… You changed my life Katti.
Katti is an unforgettable voice instructor. I came to Katti when I was 18 years old because I wanted to improve my musical theatre sound. I had absolutely no clue how to belt before beginning [Unlimited Vocal Health™] and when I graduated from Circle in the Square Theatre School in New York City four years later, I was the top belter in my class. The more lessons I took the more my confidence as a singer and an all around performer grew.
Katti is BRILLIANT!!! I never thought I would be able to belt, but I was definitely proven wrong! Thanks to my ONE LESSON with Katti I have just landed a role in “Shout! The Mod Musical” and will be healthily belting my face off!
