I’m a Master Voice Coach for 35 years with a global client roster that includes well-known recording artists, aspiring professionals, and passionate beginners of all ages and musical styles- from every part of the entertainment industry. I offer expert vocal coaching at the highest level. Voice lessons are tailored to each student's needs whether they are a beginner who is just finding their voice or if they are a seasoned performer seeking refinement. I love guiding anyone who uses their voice creatively such as singers, public speakers, podcasters, theater actors, and karaoke enthusiasts. I am an internationally recognized singer, songwriter, and entertainer. A professional singer since the age of 14, I have earned a respected place in the music industry through my dynamic stage presence and versatile powerhouse voice. With decades of experience on stage, I have built an impressive multifaceted career as a lead vocalist across a wide range of genres—including pop, dance, electronica, jazz, blues, rock, and country music. My résumé also includes work as a sought-after session vocalist, an award winning jingle writer/singer and establishing myself as an accomplished vocal producer. Throughout my career I have shared the stage with renowned artists such as Sheryl Crow, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, Collin Raye, Judy Collins, Hypnogaja, The Lettermen, and many more. Highlights include backing vocals on Eddie Money’s Can’t Hold Back world tour and joining Meredith Brooks on her 1998 European tour. I have also held the distinguished role of featured soloist at hundreds of wedding ceremonies and private events. My original music has been featured on radio and television, and my early work includes contributions to preschool music education and therapeutic music programs.

"Alex Marlowe, Portland, OR I love Voice Lessons with Ellen. I feel like I am in a safe, positive space where I can grow as a singer. Her technical knowledge is incredible and everything is always clearly explained in a way that makes sense to me. Since I was a beginner when I first started lessons, we worked on vocal basics. Then I learned about all of the vocal techniques that the professionals use. I got to be part of choosing which topic of study was next at each session. It’s really fun and there is no expectation to be perfect so I can stretch and strengthen my voice without feeling nervous.
