“The ability to sing is truly a gift from G-d. Like laughter it’s the best medicine”

The internet search rocked it for me in finding Kym! My initial conversation with her was inspiring. I just knew Kym as my vocal coach was going to work out. She was ever so patient in listening to the description of my singing and performing experiences, my concerns about the business and what I would describe as my needs to become a better singer and performer. So, not only is she an excellent listener, she’s sincerely caring, nurturing and a consummate professional in KNOWING the art of singing and how to get you where you are capable of being…and beyond! Her approach is fun, candid, driven and hilarating! I am so excited to be working with her!

Kym is a dear friend and without a doubt the most motivational woman I have ever met! She has faith in everyone and does not pass judgments, no matter what your skill level. Thanks to her, I have learned how to face a lot of my fears and just go for it! She will help you get down to the bottom of things, from the basics of the craft to the fire inside your soul!

I’ve been through many vocal teachers, and I feel I’ve progressed so much with Kym in such a small period of time, I could only imagine how much more I will grow vocally working with her long-term. She made me feel so comfortable on my first lesson which I believe is key to having a successful learning experience. I am absolutely thrilled to have been able to work with the most vocally talented person I’ve ever met, and I’m also thrilled to have the opportunity to work with her in the future!

After having been a performer for some time as well as developing and managing groups such as Subway (who I successfully signed with Biv 10/Motown records) I knew I still needed to enhance my musical career. I wanted to obtain the vocal skills of Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Sam Cooke, and so many other greats. I searched and searched for that vocal teacher that had the knowledge, push and the drive that every vocalist needs. I was blessed to come across Kym Franklin. After my first lesson, I knew she was IT ! She pulled out every element to enhance my ability, and helped me become the vocalist that I always wanted to be…and I’ve only touched on the tip of the iceberg of her skills. I think of her as a vocal scientist. That’s how good she is. After taking lessons from her, I can see that my musical career is about to take off in the very near future. I have recommended her to many people and will continue to recommend her to many others. Thanks a lot Kim. God bless.

Kym, I just wanted to let you know that I am so thankful for you. I have always wanted to take vocal lessons and I had heard so many good things about you. You are all that they say you are and much more! The first vocal lesson was awesome. I was impressed then as I am now. I have learned a lot in such a short time. Thank you for sharing your secrets of success and allowing me the opportunity of becoming a successful vocalist.
