“I now sing with more honesty, courage and love.”
Carol-Lynne Quinn is a vocal teacher who beautifully blends modern vocal science with soulful emotional empowerment. After working with her for 5 years, not only has my range and power increased exponentially, but I now sing with more honesty, courage and love, connecting deeper to myself and my audience through the act of singing.

“She is a one-of-a-kind talent and if you are lucky enough to work with her in any capacity.”
Carol-Lynne Quinn is everything a teacher should be. She is open-minded, brilliant, enthusiastic, patient and incredibly well-researched. Her extraordinary results speak for themselves but I will echo them by saying I owe a great deal of my success as an artist and singer to her. She is a one-of-a-kind talent and if you are lucky enough to work with her in any capacity, I recommend it

“Working with her has not only strengthened my voice, it has transformed me into a more connected, self-aware person.”
Carol-Lynne Quinn is so much more than a vocal coach. Her perfect balance of science, observation and intuition gives her an almost magical power. She has the most incredible way of making you feel safe to be vulnerable, and it’s within that safety and acceptance that you begin to learn and grow, which leads to feeling so much more bold and empowered. Working with her has not only strengthened my voice, it has transformed me into a more connected, self-aware person. Every time I play a show, I am reminded of how grateful I am to be working with Carol-Lynne.

“Since working with CQ, I’ve been able to unlock new tones in my voice.”
CQ is an extremely knowledgeable coach and a wonderful person who I’ve had the pleasure of working with for 5 years. She balances the vulnerable nature of artistry and the technical elements of vocal health in a way that feels accessible and achievable. Since working with CQ, I’ve been able to unlock new tones in my voice, explore new parts of my range and fully trust that my voice can handle anything a song (or life) throws at it. CQ is dedicated to her craft as a vocal coach, vocologist, a singer herself and as a supportive figure to the artists she works with.

“I couldn’t have achieved what I did without her unwavering support and expert guidance.”
Carol-Lynn Quinn (CQ Music) transformed my approach to vocal practice, focusing on rewarding and rehabilitating the voice rather than overworking it. This shift allowed me to tour non-stop for 2.5 years while maintaining my voice for every show. Her lessons were invaluable, and the recorded warm-ups she provided have been essential to my vocal journey. I couldn’t have achieved what I did without her unwavering support and expert guidance. Whether you aim for high-energy screamo or emotionally driven breathy performances, she equips you with the tools to achieve it and care for your voice. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about their vocal development

“Because of the work I have put in with CQ, I have not only recovered what I had lost on tour when we met, but that plus an entire octave and more!”
Without judgement, Carol-Lynne helped me to rehabilitate my voice and provided me with the technical guidance to understand the damage I had done and how to prevent it from happening in the future. From there, she continued to help me increase my confidence in my vocal abilities, which had taken a hit from losing such an important tool for me, and became not just a technical mentor but an emotional support and friend. Over the years, we have continued to work together to gain back the range I had initially lost and have since focussed on building both my power and flexibility. Because of the work I have put in with CQ, I have not only recovered what I had lost on tour when we met, but that plus an entire octave and more!

“Lessons are fun, interesting, and free from judgement.”
CQ is awesome and I'm so glad I found her on my singing journey. I would say I’ve tried at least 10 different teachers and I always felt some kind of pressure. From the first lesson with CQ I didn’t. Lessons are fun, interesting, and free from judgement. She creates a safe space to play around, to let go (which is half the battle of singing), and really find your voice. Whether you’re working on covers or originals, you’re going to grow as a vocalist and artist with CQ’s guidance.

“She immediately pinpointed where I was struggling and why, and within weeks I was a different singer.”
Carol-Lynne is a life changing vocal coach. I tried so many coaches and programs, even doing one-off lessons with people who taught artists like Taylor Swift and Hayley Williams, but nothing ever really clicked for me. Then I was fortunate enough to meet CQ. She immediately pinpointed where I was struggling and why, and within weeks I was a different singer. I felt like my voice had been unlocked. CQ worked with me towards my specific goals - she knew I wanted to be a recording artist and made sure to tailor her lessons accordingly. We made sure fundamentals were strong and healthy, but she always encouraged and worked on my individual vocal style. I know that my voice is the safest hands because she has an enormous breadth of knowledge and experience. I truly cannot recommend CQ enough as I would not have a career as an artist and topliner today if it wasn’t for her.

“CQ showed me how to do things that (3-4) vocal coaches told me I would never be able to do.”
In one workshop CQ was able to show me how to do things that every single one of my other (3-4) vocal coaches told me that I would never be able to do, ever. CQ was able to show me how to do them in her first session.

“CQ Voice is simply awesome.”
I just attended Carol-Lynne's Vocal Health and Strength Training Workshop at Breakout West 2020 and I got more from it than two years of vocal coaching. CQ Voice is simply awesome.

“She is truly a unique teacher, and is using her methods to inspire students.”
After countless hours of singing in a college music program and 16 years of touring I thought I'd hit my 'ceiling' on where my voice could go. After reaching out to CQ and nerding out on some really cool voice science, I've realized how incredibly wrong I was, and am now feeling like the possibilities are beyond anything I could have imagined. CQ has shown me how to release tension and sing with so much more freedom, along with giving me some life-saving programs to keep my voice happy and 'in shape' on long tours. I love her science-based approach, and the way she looks at the body, mind, and spirit to create a whole picture of what is going on with my singing. Singing is both technical and psychological, and CQ expertly weaves in ways to tap into the nervous system and the body in order to access vocal freedom and authenticity. She is truly a unique teacher, and is using her methods to inspire students to find their most genuine voice.
