"My name is Jeff DeKnegt, I'm a Recording Artist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I am currently taking voice lessons, via phone, with Eric Bruner. I have been singing since I was eight years old and am now 24 years old. I can honestly say that the training I have received from Eric in the past three months has radically changed my singing career! It does work. You will feel, see, and hear the difference in the first to second week of practice! I'm currently working on my first project and am now fully confident in the quality that will be put forth! So my advise to you, try it. You have nothing to lose and yet so much to gain!!" - Jeff DeKnegt, Performing/Recording Artist for CGF Records Inc.
"When I met Eric I was very impressed with his knowledge of the voice and knew that I wanted to study with him. My only hesitation in beginning study was the fact I wasn't able to study with him in his studio because of the distance from my home. So when I found out that he offers the option to take lessons via telephone I signed up immediately. I wasn't sure how studying via the telephone vs. studying in person was going to work, but figured I would give it a try. Eric has such a great ear and wonderful ability to explain exactly how to perform the exercises that you would think you were right in his studio. I would highly recommend taking Eric's voice lessons via telephone. It is convenient and just as effective as taking them in person." - Annette Dattilo - Gospel Artist/Performer
"After being an accomplished guitarist and backing vocalist for years, I was suddenly thrown into the limelight of being a lead vocalist. Let me tell you it is probably one of the hardest things I have had to do. I was always getting frustrated, not being able to hit notes that I wanted with ease or the sound wasn’t coming out the way I wanted. I decided it was time to find a teacher. I tried a few but Eric was the one I felt the most comfortable with. One night after rehearsal Alex (my other Guitarist in the band) came up to me and said that he could tell now that after 4 weeks I wasn’t straining to sing and that I was sounding more natural. Eric shows you how to master control your breathing and your posture, so your exercises become more fluent and natural. After that, he will move you to the next stage of singing songs that you want to sing, while exposing you to different styles. Eric will help you correct your flaws so you do not do damage to your vocal cords. He is a very laid back individual and tries to make you feel as comfortable as possible. In short, Eric is there to help and train you to fix your problems, and help you make great strides toward your goal of becoming an accomplished and well-versed singer." - Tom Spencer, Performing/Recording Artist, Lead Singer for "Decent Into Madness"
"Being a singer/songwriter in the Houston, Texas area, I had looked high and low for a vocal coach to help with what I knew were really bad habits. After years of knowing I was singing improperly, pushing my voice in all the wrong directions, I finally found Eric Bruner. Wow, what a difference! Even at the first lesson! Now I have absolute confidence in performing in a higher range knowing that my voice won’t ‘crack’, ‘break’ or ‘flip’. Eric has a fantastic ability to communicate the procedures that will give your voice strength and your mind confidence to perform at your very best level. We are continuing to work on old habits with new techniques so that my next CD will be in the excellence+ category. Thank you, Eric!" - Carolyn Keene, singer/songwriter

"Eric, I just wanted to tell you that although I've only had two lessons with you, I have applied the advice you have given me to the shows I've been doing lately and I've made a lot of progress. I have been singing less hard and concentrating on "pure" singing and the results have been great!"
- Steve Steele, Artist/Performer
"Eric helped me use my voice in ways I never imagined. Now I can sing high notes with a power behind it that I never thought possible. By mixing the head voice with the chest voice, I never feel that I am straining to reach those notes. Instead, it feels like my voice is naturally reaching them. Eric helped me have fun with my voice and try new things. He encouraged me to audition for the Houston Symphony Chorus and helped me make it. I learned so much vocal technique from him and continue to sing using the principles he showed me. Thank you so much, Eric! I couldn't have sung second alto and first soprano without you!" - Sarah Celeste, Austin, TX

"Being a new singer and never having had lessons before, I was apprehensive when I began looking for a voice teacher. Since I wasn't a professional singer, I was worried about finding someone who would be willing to work with me to develop better control of my voice and maximize my abilities. Eric Bruner immediately put me at ease. He explained the process in detail and told me what to expect. His easy-going personality and extensive vocal and musical knowledge were very reassuring as we began to break the old "bad" habits and replace them with proper technique. Almost immediately, I was able to add several steps to my middle range and began to close the gaps between my middle and high ranges. I also felt more power behind the notes and began to feel more confident in my singing."
- Pat Davis, Houston, TX
“After studying with many voice teachers, Eric was the first teacher I found that actually showed me how to blend my upper and lower voices. Now I can sing with a "connected" voice whether I'm singing rock, classical or musical theater.”

"As a performing artist you, want two things. The first is to perform consistently, at your very highest level, night after night. The second is to perform at this desired level in a relaxed manner, void of physical tension. Eric Bruner has the tools and experience that helped me accomplish these goals by teaching me to sing and speak with confidence, with the full range and power of my true voice. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish, and you will quickly notice, as I did, the benefits on stage and in your daily life." - Jeff Miller, Actor/Performer
“Before studying with Eric, I had a whole bunch of vocal grip and stress. Now, thanks to his lessons, I've won many vocal awards and prizes.”

"Eric is so enthusiastic about his students' progress! That is very important to me because my voice makes money for me. Being in musical theatre for 27 years, I know proper technique is everything. He has taught me that even at my age and experience, I still have to take care of my voice with proper technique and knowledge. He also showed me that I had a least 4 extra high notes I didn't even know existed for me....Thanks, Eric!!!"

"I started studying with Eric after two years of minimal progress with another instructor. Within 6 months, I had significantly improved range, power, and flexibility. After 8 months, I was doing a sound check for a church performance. While balancing the voice and instruments, the engineer kept turning my microphone down until he finally switched off his equipment and said "he doesn't need the microphone anymore." Eric helps you improve by giving specific, targeted exercises rather than vague imagery. His direct approach to voice instruction allows you to improve quickly."

"I love taking my lessons over the internet! Before my first web session with Eric, I was afraid that the lesson might be less productive online, but I was wrong. Eric did more to improve my voice in the first 10 minutes than any teacher had in 2 or 3 lessons." - Katrina Boothe, Winnipeg, MB Canada

"I have been in choir all through middle school, high school and some college, but I'd always struggled with the high tenor range and never could seem to hit those notes without being flat or yelling them out. I started to believe that my voice was meant to be baritone and never tenor. After studying with Eric and having to unlearn what I'd been taught in choir throughout my school years, I am now having a lot of fun singing in the high tenor range. I can hit those high notes with ease and not have to struggle or sound like I'm yelling. Last year, I auditioned for the Houston Masterworks Chorus and received an invitation to perform in their tenor section. I am so grateful to have found Eric's teachings and I look forward to more improvement." - Marcos Perez, Houston, TX
"After my first session with Eric I was very excited about his teaching technique. I was able to see a difference in my vocal range after only a couple of lessons. Eric is wonderful in explaining how you practice each exercise. Now that I have the ability to mix the head and chest voice, I am able to sing higher notes without straining. Thanks Eric!" - Arthurene Walker, Houston, TX
