Courtenay Ennis Vocal Studio

Courtenay has completely changed the way I sing and the way I think about my voice. In just a few months, I am comfortably mixing in a pop style in which I’ve never before felt at home. Courtenay delivers constructive pointers in a way that is supportive and non-judgmental, and celebrates every win with you along the way. You’ll get a nugget or two to work with in the free intro lesson, as well, but the full regular lessons with him are worth every penny. Highly recommend for anyone looking to work on their pop technique!

Courtenay has unlocked registers and resonances in my voice I did not know were possible. I’m completely blown away. As a professional singer ( theatre and cruiselines), it was incredibly difficult to undo my old techniques but I’m so happy that I put my trust in Courtenay because his technique and teaching-style are truly effective. You learn how to sing with ease as well as train your ears to really listen. Courteney is fun and super easy to talk to. As long as you put in the work on your end, you are guaranteed to improve and reach new levels in your singing. I definitely recommend learning from him!

As he dives deep into theories and also biological facts to teach you the reason behind a certain way of singing, or the right way to prevent any damages to your vocal cords and make you sound good!All that with a wonderful personality; Respectful and professional, yet warm-hearted.

Courtenay is amazing.As a music educator and working musician, it is important for me to find a teacher that takes the time to really understand my goals and learning style.I was a musician in the classical realm for many years, and when I transitioned to Pop I knew right away that Courtenay was the one for me. Not only is he knowledgeable, he practices what he preaches and his portfolio and credentials support his pedagogy.In addition to engaging him in private lessons, we have also brought him in to workshop Canadian Pop Vocal Band: Quayside.I have heard and seen results not only in myself - but in some of his students in a very short period of time. What I have learned about how my body and voice are connected has giving me a new confidence on stage. I encourage you to engage Courtenay in lessons.

Courtenay Ennis is a wonderful singing teacher, who approaches lessons with great enthusiasm for music, incredible knowledge of the most recent and evolving voice science, and humour and care for his students. I started taking lessons with Courtenay after completing my post-secondary training in musical theatre. At the time I was struggling with losing my voice frequently, due largely to a combination of bad habits in voice technique as well as acid reflux. Courtenay took the time to listen to previous recordings of me singing from before straining my voice, accompanied me to an appointment with my ENT, and patiently shared his knowledge and skills with me to help me reach my goals. He helped me build up my technique while showing compassion for the emotional journey of “re-learning” to sing took me on.In between times where I was taking lessons, I would even occasionally get emails from Courtenay with info from a new scholarly article or book referencing info that may be applicable to my specific vocal challenges.Years later, now as a theatre and music educator, I still return to Courtenay as frequently as possible to continue to improve my singing technique, knowing I will learn a great deal and have a wonderful time working with an amazingly kind and fun professional. I highly recommend Courtenay to any professionals who wish to continue developing their singing skills.

Want to learn to sing more powerfully, expressively and with more confidence? Courtenay is your coach. His teaching style is effective and fun with the perfect amount of challenge each time. You will be sure to leave feeling like you learned something new about your voice in every session. If you are looking to experience true growth in your vocal training, Courtenay is a great coach.

My voice lessons with Courtenay are the absolute highlight of the week. Courtenay is not only INCREDIBLY knowledgeable on all things related to singing - often mentioning scientific studies and explaining various voice mechanisms - but he’s also hilarious. I’m thinking about creating my personal laugh track from our recordings alone.He knows exactly how to balance work and play. Lessons are engaging and challenging. The progress I’ve made since starting coaching is very rewarding; I owe it all to Courtenay and his teaching!

Courtenay is on an entirely different level when it comes to vocal technique. He uses a one-of-a-kind methodology to coach the whole self" (mind+body+spirit

Before working with Courtenay, I had ZERO singing experience..The improvements over the past 3 months taking weekly lessons online have been absolutely astounding! Courtenay translates his mastery of singing into accessible, engaging exercises and tools that not only teach the student what to do, but also how and why they're doing it. With an emphasis on techniques that he's discovered through his training with household name vocal instructors and specialists (Check out his resume!), beginner and professional alike will benefit greatly from Courtenay's teachings. Plus, he's a great guy to talk to.As an actor, the ability to sing is highly prized and often requested by film and TV projects...Many acting conservatories teach vocal technique, but limited only to breath, projection, and voice preservation. Courtenay created analogies between acting and singing that produced amazing results and personalized tools that I can implement on my own. I cannot praise and thank this man enough!Looking for a vocal teacher? Look no further!
