Meet Michelle!

​Michelle Shuttleworth Towler has been teaching voice in New York City for nearly two decades. Over the years, she has worked with Broadway professionals, developing artists, and singers who simply love to sing and want to do it well. She cares deeply about all of them.

Since 2007, Michelle’s professional students have gone on to perform on Broadway, Off-Broadway, national tours, cruise lines, film, television, voice over and professional recording projects. She understands what the industry demands and helps her students build technique that holds up — not just in a lesson, but under real pressure.

At the same time, many of her students are not pursuing careers at all. They come because singing matters to them. Because they’ve always wanted to understand their voice. Because they’re ready to stop guessing and start feeling confident. Michelle believes that work is every bit as important. Learning to use your voice freely and skillfully can change the way you experience yourself — and that kind of growth is powerful, whether or not there’s a stage involved.

Her teaching is highly individualized. She listens carefully. She explains things clearly. She meets students where they are and moves them forward without drama or ego. Lessons focus on building healthy, efficient technique while also creating an environment that feels focused, supportive, and safe enough to take risks.

Students leave not only singing better — but understanding what they’re doing and why.
