Testimonials

“I’ve noticed a definite ease in singing with volume. Notes already seem to be rolling more easily with the tension taken off my throat. By applying the Deva Method, I have, first and foremost, the physical benefit of easier volume and a new confidence to go along with it.”
- Patty Griffin

“The Deva Method quite simply works! I am hitting notes I have never hit before and, yes folks, I am talking about the ones in the upper register. I have a tremendous amount of power, endurance and flexibility. My vocal tone has a richer and warmer sound quality and has improved considerably.”
- Susan Angeletti

"I have experienced an incredible change in my vocal power and flexibility since studying with Jennifer at Jeannie Deva Voice Studios. I feel the difference when I perform; more freedom and ease that I did not have before. I have worked on singing for many years with other teachers and never have the positive changes been more apparent. Thanks to Jeannie and Jennifer!”

“I started classes at Jeannie Deva Voice Studios (Boston) because after singing in rock bands for 10 years, my voice had become hoarse and my range had decreased. Through constant exercises and new knowledge of vocal anatomy, my range is back and I have confidence once again! Thank you!”
- The Black Widow

“I have been a singer all my life. Since age six, I have been in musical theater, I have sung in church choirs, and also throughout high school and college I sang The National Anthem at all sporting events.

About three years ago, once work became busy, I stopped my "singing" related activities and only sang at the occasional wedding ceremony. I have a high-pressure sales job that requires constant talking and a huge amount of phone time. Over the last two years, I have had what can only be described as a horribly hoarse speaking voice. Now, not only could I not sing anymore, but also I could not talk. This affected my personal life, my professional life, and my self-confidence. Being able to sing and tell stories is who I am!! When I could no longer do this, I went to several medical specialists who could not find anything physically wrong. They told me I had "vocal abuse" from too much talking. At this point, I was completely devastated thinking that I would forever have laryngitis and would never sing again.

I discovered Jeannie Deva Voice Studios and came to a consultation with Jennifer. She had me sing something so she could get an idea of what we were working with. I sang my "standard", The National Anthem, and I was completely mortified by the sound! Jennifer said that she could help through the Deva Method. After hearing myself sing, I had major doubts, but I began lessons with Jennifer.

After about a month, it no longer hurt me to talk. After about three months I had very minimal hoarseness and NO laryngitis. After six months, I began to hear my "old" singing voice come back. Jennifer had assured me that it was still there, and she was right - that was the most exciting day of this whole year!

I never have a hoarse voice anymore and I am able to sing songs again. I can quantify my success with the fact that through Jennifer's patient, diligent work with me, I am able to talk as much as I want - my vocal folds are getting their strength back. Because of this, my sales at work have increased by at least 50%. I no longer have trouble on the phone or with customers because my voice, and hence my self-confidence, is back too!! I can't say enough good things about this method - it saved my voice. Thank you Jennifer, and thank you Jeannie Deva!”
- Sheila Moreau

“Wow!! What a difference a couple of months can make! Thank you to Jeannie Deva Voice Studios and special thanks to Jennifer Truesdale for her experience, patience and dedication.”
– Kelly McCormack

“I’ve trained with many other instructors over the years, but never had a sense of freedom and control with my voice. With the Deva Method, I’ve been able to achieve heights I never dreamed were possible. I’m able to use my voice as an instrument to express and communicate in a free, relaxed manner. I sing in a Rock and Blues band and my training at Jeannie Deva Voice Studios has freed my voice to be able to meet the demands of singing rock and has allowed me to develop a blues style that I’ve always aspired to. Working with Tony has been extremely empowering and he has helped me to open a lot of doors and make a lot of wonderful discoveries.”
– Cathy Sanchez, The Usual Suspects

“I came to Jeannie Deva Voice Studios with severe fears of blowing my voice out again. That was my initial purpose, to learn correct singing habits. I didn’t care about anything but this. Well, in the process of applying her technique, I’ve also rediscovered that my voice sounds good! (I gave up on having a good voice years ago.) And, it’s getting better! Vocal blowout is no longer my main worry. I’m developing a good voice, which I can feel proud of.”
– Binney Stone, Steppin’ Out

“The Deva Method has changed my way of singing and thinking about singing forever! I no longer have to reach for pitch or worry about vocal blowout. I have more range and power and I can’t believe the ease with which I sing. My voice is now my friend!"
– Dawn Florence

“Being a pop singer, I really put my voice to the test and have, in the past, suffered from sore throats and a tired voice. I am happy to say that I rarely experience either symptom anymore. Presently, I am using Jeannie’s workbook and practice tapes, which are unique and excellent tools. I believe she has created a very well researched and ground-breaking technique that should be made available to musicians everywhere.”
– Les Sampou

“If I knew I was going to learn this much, I would’ve come here years ago!”
– Stacey Scerbo

"I really must say this. Tony has been such an influential part in my life as it relates to my singing. I have learned the importance of vocal care which I did not know before. The techniques that he has presented to me through my lessons have made me a better singer. I am truly now in love with my voice and who I am as a psalmist. Thank you, Tony. You have made me a better person and I am excited because my road ahead will be such an easier one to travel. You are the man."
