"Our lesson changed my life for the best...I wish you could use that as an endorsement line!" -Danielle Hobbs, Dancer/Choreographer/Singer/Actress
“Well, Katti, that's quite a powerhouse you sent up here for the summer. Just a wonderful energy to be around, bright and strong, soaking it all in. And a voice that can do all sorts of exciting things in various ranges and feels. In the cabaret, she quite definitively brought down the house, joined, at one point, by a 26-voice choir…So, I'm pleased to report, Joanna was one of the students who truly "got" it. You could see it in her work, most obviously, but also in the way she listened, took instructions, tried different things in rehearsal. I wish every student could be like her - but I guess what I'm really wishing is that everyone could come out of the masterful tutelage you've given Joanna.”
-Noel Katz, Composer/Pianist/Instructor at Circle in the Square Theatre School
"I only had a few lessons with Katti, but in that short time I learned so much. The Powell Method taught me breathing techniques and voice control that helped immensely. It also gave me the confidence to sing in front of a crowd again--something that I had feared since high school. I had a chance to sing regularly with the band One-Eyed Jack at a club and even got a small following doing that. I would also have people I'd never met come up to me and tell me they heard I was a really good singer. Thanks to The Powell Method and Katti's positive, encouraging attitude, I look forward to being on stage singing and I'm setting my sights high.”
-Jason Stice, Country Singer
“Katti Powell, is my voice coach and uses The Powell Method which I highly recommend. Through her coaching, I have gained much confidence, and become aware of an incredible 3 octave range in my voice. I found her lessons, her method of instruction and her style very easy to follow. I was able to improve on my breath control after working on it with her. The exercises we started with at the beginning of each lesson helped me to build up my singing ability, my tone, volume, flexibility. Being a professional motivational speaking success coach, I use humor and inspiration in a a 1-woman show called "Let Your Light Shine". I have now incorporated my musical ability with my inspirational and humorous talks and I sing at various intervals in the show. People frequently tell me what a beautiful, rich voice I have, and are inspired by my singing. Through The Powell Method, I learned the styles of legit and mix, which gave me a great variety of sound. I believe Katti's teaching ability and The Powell Method have helped me to rise up a level in my musical ability, for which I am very grateful.”
-Rhoda Rose Olson: Motivational Speaker, Singer, Pianist
“I love taking voice with Katti Powell because it is like she shows up to lessons with all of her treasure chests full of information and she opens them up and says to her students, 'here you go, take whatever you want'. I'm super excited for her and am an avid user of The Powell Method! I taught a drama elective last fall and actually used her stuff in the voice and projection portion of my class. I was a 'mini-me' of Katti Powell and the kids all thought it was awesome.”
-Erin Littleson, Singer & Worship Leader
“Katti Powell is not only a wonderful person, she is such a talented singer, and an amazing teacher. The Powell Method taught me so much in such a short period of time. I never went to an audition unprepared, and I was always encouraged to try new things. I used to be really shy about singing, but Katti helped me gain so much confidence. When I sing, I still use the “Powell Method” warm-ups! I recommend "The Powell Method" to all types of singers!”
