Online Voice lessons
Let your voice open a doorway to your essential nature
Personalized voice lessons support the natural emergence of your voice with a playful and liberating approach to singing. I use a rich variety of vocal play, ancient sounding techniques and somatic awareness practices to explore the infinite possibilities of the voice while cultivating a sense of familiarity and ease with the voice as a sacred instrument.
You may be singer looking to hone your craft. Or perhaps you have a deep longing to sing and have never been supported to do so. Maybe you are simply seeking the power to speak up for yourself in your work and personal life. Whatever it is that brings you here in this moment, I am interested in meeting you where you are and supporting what’s ready to happen next.
The voice is a truly exquisite instrument with the potential of participating in the universal language of vibration shared by all life. Unfortunately, many us have felt silenced somewhere along our path and no longer have full access to the possibilities of this instrument. My goal is to share a set of tools with you and empower you to access what is already yours: your authentic voice.
If this work is calling to you, let’s talk. We start out with a phone chat to get to know each other and talk more about the possibility of working together.

Meet Sophie Cooper
I am a song-carrier, songwriter, ceremonialist, mother and lifelong learner of the art of transformation. As a Vocal Coach, I bring together the tools gathered from numerous voice teachers, 9 years of inquiry into somatic qigong practice, and over a decade of dedication to a ceremonial path. I founded Voice Alchemy as part of my commitment to participate in creating safe spaces where vibration and sound are placed in service of healing, transformation and liberation.
“There was something profoundly life changing about our time together. Sophie was not only my teacher but also a meaningful witness to my becoming. I started our time together with an intellectual and distant understanding of my own intuition, nervous and unsure of my voice... The practice I learned through Voice Alchemy has become a regular part of my life resulting in more confidence and courage in all aspects of my life. I am deeply grateful to have had this experience and look forward to more opportunities to study with Sophie in the future.””
“I was surprised to discover how powerful my voice is. And singing has finally become something I do for fun! I would absolutely recommend these singing classes to anyone who wants to explore not only their voice but themselves.”
“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. ”
“Sophie has brought me closer to my own voice. I have a clearer understanding of what it is to sing as an authentic expression using posture, breath, resonance and tone. Sophie is an extraordinarily compassionate person who nurtures and coaches with wisdom and joy.”
