“Our students were so pleased not only with the information, but also for your spirit in the Chapel that evening. Talk about a tangible presence of the Spirit that evening. We were blessed with your singing and with the sensitive way in which you responded to the various songs the students had prepared. Thanks for all that you have meant and will mean to Mars Hill College and our wonderful students and staff.”

"It has been a blessing working with you. I have learned so much about my vocal instrument. You have such a beautiful and humble spirit which made it even easier to learn and comprehend. Not only have you taught me how to care for my voice but you have taught me how to care for my entire body. I am forever grateful for this course and can't wait to learn more. How can I leave out the humor, girl you are hilarious!!!"

"What a blessing and what a treat for my students to have you share your time, your enthusiasm, and your Spirit with us today at Brevard High School!!! I am thankful that you came because you related so well to the students. It is always a challenge to pull expressiveness out of teenagers, but I think they have a better reference point after being with you. Thanks for the refresher on vocal health tips. When my students hear the same thing from someone else, it always seems much more credible. Thanks for the extra time with Kayla. I can't wait to hear the difference as she begins to have the confidence to let go a little more. You are so special. The feedback from my students today was tremendous. You have given them a renewed enthusiasm and intensity for their singing. Thanks so much!"

We have been fortunate to have Tiffaney lead the vocal performance component for our city-wide music conference. She has taught our attendees the intricate details of proper vocal technique and vocal maintenance. Attendees have left our conference with a greater appreciation of their vocal gifts. In addition, we have gained valuable knowledge with regard to the care and correct use of our voices. Tiffaney has been a valuable component in the success of our conferences. I highly recommend her to everyone I come in contact with!”

My experience with Tiffaney as a vocalist and a teacher have been nothing short of fabulous! Her strength and spirit as a performer has brought me a great deal of inspiration as well as learning so much about projecting and using my own voice. Tiffaney inspires love and courage in those around her!
What THEY are saying...

Tiffaney is more than a voice coach. She is a mentor, holistic consultant, and most important a friend. All of these things are essential to an artist such as myself. Tiffaney's background and knowledge of spoken word artists was critical in the development of my career. I found myself struggling physically and creatively to find a new direction for my voice and my work. Tiffaney opened my skill set up to singing and having a pleasing tone. Trust me that was no small feat. Through The Natural Voice, Tiffaney offered me natural care options for my voice as well as effective exercises that helped developed my singing voice and ultimately helped me break through my creative rut. Now I am in no way going to be the next Luther Vandross or Usher. However, I do have a more well rounded dynamic show to offer my audience.With a more full and harmonic voice, I can now ramp up my poems with songs and add to my repertoire. Tiffaney's approach to singing reflects her approach to life: come to it with passion and commitment and it will not fail you. Tiffaney is one of the most dynamic and inspirational vocal coaches in the world, and I have the Emmy to prove it. “

"I met Tiffaney at a major crossroads in my personal and artistic life. From her I learned amazing things about the physiology of my vocal instrument, and techniques for how to better use and care for it.
As a matter of fact, I took a class in college this past semester called Elements of Vocal Technique. I actually used my binder, with the same handouts given to me at The Natural Voice. The college class was detailed and technical. However, I was successful because of the foundation that was laid by Tiffaney. I found myself already knowing a lot of the answers and I was the only person to get a 100 on the final!
Based on everything I'd heard prior to meeting her, I had already high expectations of Tiffaney's abilities as a skillful vocal coach. She blew all my expectations out of the water, as I discovered that beyond her skillfulness she was also incredibly gifted. Her gift for connecting the inner voice to the outer voice has helped to propel me forward into a world where all my creative dreams are being fulfilled. I don't think I've ever met anyone with such a perfect blend of technique, knowledge, and inspirational empowerment. I will always be exceedingly grateful for the day my path crossed hers."

"I have had the extreme pleasure of experiencing Tiffaney Moore Borgelin's work onstage numerous times. I use the word experience because that's what it is to watch Tiffaney work. She is an incredible writer and performer and can affect an audience like few artists I know. Her stories, her characterizations, her spoken word pieces are always original, honest and heartfelt. She often incorporates song into her original pieces, often original ones. Tiffaney has a beautiful voice and whether she is speaking or singing the clarity, control and energy of her vocal instrument is amazing. I have watched Tiffaney perform from backstage and the back of the theater. I have witnessed firsthand how she can truly mesmerize an audience. Tiffaney performed her own recurring segment called VOICE in just do it one season, and also performed in a fundraiser for youth I produced. I cannot count how many performers and audience members alike have approached me after her performances and expressed how much they were moved and impressed by her work."

“Tiffaney is an amazing coach for all performing artists. When I work with Tiffaney, I feel her passion for teaching and admire her in-depth knowledge of singing and acting techniques. It is clear that she really cares about my success. She never runs out of ways to communicate her creative and effective performance methods. She also runs her business impeccably, which shows how seriously she takes what she does. Tiffaney changed the way I see singing, storytelling, and myself for the better. I can truly say she has been one of the most important people I have worked with in my career. I would advise anyone who is serious about improving their performance to work with Tiffaney. I promise you'll see substantial results if you do."

"I went into my first session not knowing what to expect. I knew I couldn't sing one bit, and I wasn't sure how she was going to be able to help me. After two hours of positive energy and guidance, she taught me things about my voice that I never knew were possible. Tiffaney helped me realize that there are many more aspects to voice than singing. She has helped me make major adjustments in my stage presence, breathing, and everyday habits. Tiffaney offers all of the possible time and energy that she has for her clients. To me, this makes her more than a voice coach.
If you can see yourself as an artist that uses your voice to touch people, I truly recommend Tiffaney Moore Borgelin as a source of wisdom, guidance, and positive energy to help you in your journey."
