“Dean is the best voice teacher in the world, and I really honestly believe that.” -Benji  – Chinese TV star and Chinese Idol finalist

“I hope to work with Dean again soon, because I think he is the best. The personal lesson I had with him in Los Angeles changed my life and I have really grown from our Skype lessons since then.  - Soren – Voice Teacher – Denmark

PEV: Was there a certain point in your life when you knew that music was going to be a career for you?

Sissy – Definitely! It was in a lesson with Dean Kaelin, my favorite vocal coach and teacher from the U.S.! It was my first single lesson with him and after this lesson I felt like flying. It really was one of the happiest hours in my life. I knew that the road was still long, but I knew as well that I could make it if I was willing to work hard and take a risk.

Dean,

Your classes at Teachers’ Conference were outstanding as is your one to one instruction. After my son John finished his lesson with you this fall he told me that his lesson with you was by far the best lesson he ever had and that he more deeply understood what you were trying to get his voice to do than any other lesson he has had. And your and my testing experience this fall in Atlanta still brings tears of joy to my eyes–teaching Michael, the man who mentioned multiple family suicides in the first few minutes of his lesson, and your working of my voice on the first bridge over and over to finally trick me out of my habit of a break there (to this date there is still no break there after that lesson with you).

With deep affection,

Lisa – Voice Teacher Liverpool, England and Atlanta, Georgia

“Dean, we are excited that we will have a chance to work with the best woice teacher of the World when you visit us again in Poland soon! Your coaching is absolutely the best.”    - Sonia – voice teacher in Poland and President of NVP (Natural Voice Perfection)

Dean,

The years have passed and so much has changed. Time has moved forward but very few people I know have stayed the same. I know that I am only one of many who you have unknowingly changed their lives for the better.

Watching you teach and talk at teachers conferences, working with you in private voice lessons, Mentoring me as I try to teach my first four students in front of a testing panel and being my sons hero is just the start.

Thank you for being you. It is refreshing to see someone time after time and know that they are the same… real, true, honest and simple.

Thank you again for all you have done for me and Marcus,

He thinks that you are God. Actually, you might be!

Dear Dean,

I hope that we will still be in touch. Honestly, you are my favorite voice teacher (no kidding! And I have worked with MANY). In my eyes, your knowledge, skills and way of teaching combine incredible strength and sensitivity at the same time … together with your straight forward and very kind personality, it is gold! And I greatly appreciate everything you have done for me and all I have learned from you so far.

Stephanie – voice teacher – Germany

Dean, I’m sure you hear it a lot but of all the teachers I’ve ever worked with you are the most natural and intuitive I have ever met and I always get my best out of working with you, I really feel comfortable taking “risks” and pushing myself when I work with you and I feel like you help me to realize my full potential every single time we have a lesson. No other teacher has done this and between you and me I’ve worked with nearly all the teachers people say are the top in the world and none of them have come close to guiding my voice the way you have!

Look forward to working with you for the rest of my singing life!

Greg – Singer – Australia

Thanks a ton, Dean. One of the surprising things I felt today was that at the end of our lesson (a lesson during which I hit some pretty “tough” notes) my voice was more relaxed than at the beginning. You were very quick to help me understand the physical things I need to do in order to solve my pitch and support issues, and I thought that was great. I’ll get heads down on these exercises.  David – SLC, Ut

Wow! Just finished doing these, and it rocks! I was a little afraid that the magic would be gone or something when I tried it at home, but having the recording helped a ton. This is great. Thanks!   David – SLC, Ut

After I did the exercises last night I sang “Devil’s Gonna Fall” (one of the tunes on the upcoming record) with the new technique you taught me. I’m serious when I say I’ve never enjoyed singing so much! My voice felt so free! I had great pitch, support, even volume, but it was so easy, so effortless. Thanks again. I’m so into this!   David – SLC, Ut

Dear Dean,

I definitely want to study with you more, Dean. Teaching singing does not mean producing tones. It means opening souls and listening to other hearts. And this is what you teach.

In my opinion you are the best voice teacher in the world. My very best from Graz!

Truly,

Agata – singing teacher in Graz, Austria

Dean,

My husband and I would like to thank you for taking the time to schedule and give Kyle lessons while we were on vacation in Utah.  The excitement you brought back to Kyle singing the high notes and the sound he gets after practicing your lessons is priceless. I wish you could feel the excitement Kyle has again, he tells everyone and posted on his twitter, “Dean Kaelin Rocks”  You clearly are an answer to our prayers, singing has been Kyle’s passion in life, he sings while doing everything, but lately he was nervous about singing the high notes in fear of ruining his voice.  Thank you for the recorded lessons, they have been great because we were able to put it on Kyle’s Ipod and he walks around practicing.  Kyle says that he can’t wait to put what he has learned into a song.

All My Best,

Cheryl  – Washington DC

Hello Dean!!

You are amazing!!! I’m so impressed by your talent. I had many vocal lessons in my life but your lesson was the best. THANK U for your sincerity!!! Not every teacher would show the vocal tips as you did!! Now I feel inspired and full of energy cause thanks to you I discovered a part of my voice that I didn’t know about. I wish to see you as soon as possible!

Thank you for everything!!

HUGE Hugs,

Gosia – a popular Polish pop singer

I want to express my deep appreciation for fitting Jonathon in today. You and your husband

have been a gift to us.  The lesson today was better than therapy. Jonathon had been struggling

and so frustrated and depressed.  Everything Dean said today must have been inspired. He

was so positive and helped fix the problem. Jonathon walked away feeling uplifted and like he

could once again face the world. I am hoping after South Pacific and his Mdt performance we can

come a few more times. Please thank Dean for treating jonathon with such respect and kindness.

He really is beginning to realize his dreams in large part due to what he has learned from Dean.

With much gratitude….Stephenie, mother of a student – South Jordan, Utah

“Dean combines a deep understanding of the human voice with a teaching style that is both

friendly and challenging to achieve amazing results. He has my implicit trust with regards to

my voice and how to improve not just my vocal range but my vocal quality as well. I could not

you to a better voice teacher than Dean Kaelin.” Thomas – singer – Orem, Utah
