Student Success Stories

My time spent working with Zac for the past 2 years has taught me so much and has not only given me so much knowledge and growth in my vocal ability, but my confidence in my self and my ability has skyrocketed since working along side Zac. I have grown the confidence to perform at open mic nights to now performing paid gigs all since working with Zac. If you or anyone you know are contemplating taking up vocal/singing lessons, look no further than Zac at New York Vocal Coaching as I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to sing or perform better!

I cannot speak highly enough of Zac as a vocal coach. I've been working with him for several years, and his guidance has been nothing short of transformative, especially after I experienced a vocal injury. Zac's unparalleled knowledge and extensive toolkit of coaching abilities have been instrumental in my recovery and growth. Thanks to Zac, my voice is now stronger, more enjoyable, and incredibly flexible. I'm consistently hitting notes I never thought possible, and my range has expanded significantly. He has a remarkable way of breaking down complex techniques and providing the exact tools and insights needed to unlock your true vocal potential. Every lesson is a masterclass in vocal health and artistry. If you're looking for a coach who can help you achieve your vocal goals, no matter the challenge, Zac is simply the best.

I started lessons with Zac last year to get ready for my Master of Music Therapy audition at Uni Melb. I had zero experience with singing or guitar, but in just two months, he helped me learn guitar from scratch, put together my audition material, and build the confidence I needed, and I got in! Now that I’m studying the course, I’m still having lessons with Zac, and he’s been such a great teacher and support. Couldn’t have done it without him! Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their music skills.

My journey as a Vocalist has been nothing short of extraordinary, and a huge part of that success can be credited to my Vocal Coach Zac Bradford. Zac's deep knowledge of vocal pedagogy, his patient approach, and his ability to tailor lessons to my unique voice have helped me develop into the confident singer I am today. Now, I have achieved a major milestone I’ve been working towards for years. I have been offered one of the twenty Nationwide places to study a Bachelor of Musical Theatre at the Queensland Academy of Excellence in Musical Theatre at Griffith University. Over the years, I have recommended Zac to many up-and-coming vocalists, and without hesitation, I continue to endorse his skills. His dedication, expertise, and passion for teaching have been vital in shaping not just my success, but the success of countless others.

Do you teach a particular method (Speech Level Singing, Estill, Bel Canto, etc.)?

No. While I’m familiar with a range of established methods, I don’t follow a single system.

Instead, I draw on a wide range of tools and influences, including voice science, vocology, and the work of leading teachers and mentors such as Dr. Brian Gill, as well as movement, theatre voice, and rehabilitative approaches.

This allows me to tailor the training to the individual, rather than applying a fixed method.

The work is guided by clear principles, focusing on how the voice functions, rather than following a set formula. The work is guided by principles such as “function before fashion,” rather than a fixed recipe.
