“Sophie changed my life!! She truly has a gift. Every session I had felt so safe and supportive. That alone was incredibly healing given all the emotional context I have around my voice. If you are dealing with stage fright, in need of connecting to your voice and vessel, curious about how you can use your voice for healing, or even a little bit curious about any of this, I highly recommend reaching out to Sophie.”

“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.”

“I took ten online lessons with Sophie, and it was one of the most moving and healing experiences of my life — so much more than just singing lessons, though I certainly learned a lot of singing too! I appreciated the space Sophie made for feelings that came up during the process, the wide variety of exercises and practices she offered, and her remarkable ability to modulate the lesson according to my intentions, needs, and goals. I grew as a singer and a person in ways I did not expect, and am very grateful to have encountered Voice Alchemy!”

“Sophie’s skills reach beyond the average voice lessons into a world of spirit, intuition, somatic expertise and vocal expression... If you are looking to open your voice, on any and all levels, Sophie will help guide you into your truest expression of self. ”

“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.”

“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.”
