“Finding the right vocal coach for Remi took us years. Remi needed a coach who could teach her how to improve her technique and skills but more importantly to communicate it in a way she understood and could put into practice. How lucky we were to finally meet Ruth! But Ruth is more than an amazing vocal coach whose instruction is thorough, clear and passionate. Ruth is a friend, a mentor, and an advocate for her students above and beyond what you can ever imagine. Ruth is Remi’s “Voice Mom” she cares so deeply about Remi she is like part of our family.”

“Ruth is both an amazing vocal coach and an invaluable support system for students entering the world of performance. Ruth has helped me dramatically improve my pitch and tone, and has also supported me in my work as a performer and songwriter.”

Keith St. John (Burning Rain, Montrose, Quiet Riot)

“Ruth is beyond excellent! She is an incredible voice coach – a gem in the industry. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their chops, manage their breathing and protect their voice.”

“Ruth has totally revolutionized my voice and how I think about singing. From my very first lesson, the Singingbelt made it obvious how to breathe and control my breath from the right place in my body. My voice has totally transformed from an instrument that I could sometimes rely on to one that works every time I ask it to. I have studied classical music from the age of four and after the legendary pedagogue, Shinuki Suzuki, Ruth Gerson is the most gifted teacher I have ever had the privilege of working with. The ‘Singingbelt’ is in my subconscious.”

“As a physician, Ruth’s anatomical descriptions made perfect sense. She would talk about the diaphragm, rib cage, airway, air pressure, breathing, and their connection to sound, voice, and supporting a powerful, steady note. But, it wasn’t until I actually used the Singingbelt, as a student, that I could physically feel what she had been talking about, and learn from that feeling. The Singingbelt is essentially a brilliant biofeedback device that allows the user to sense, feel, and correct singing technique in real time, while gaining a new understanding of the connection between anatomy and sound.”

Remi Wolf

“Ruth is the best vocal coach I have ever worked with. She has helped me improve my singing, and learn to take care of my voice. The Singingbelt helped me understand quickly how to use my diaphragm and support my voice. Ruth’s coaching was essential preparing for American Idol and college auditions – I love working with her!”

Lisa Barbaris – So What Arts Management

“Ruth Gerson is THE BEST of the best vocal coaches in New York. She gets exceptional results with singers on all levels. I have been amazed with what she is able to accomplish so quickly with the vocalists I have sent to her. Whether it’s problems with pitch or tone, singers who lose their voice on tour, stage fright, vocal tension, or all of the above, Ruth’s techniques, vocal exercises and vocal warm-ups, her patience and kindness make her an incredible coach. I recommend her highly.”

Rick Chertoff (five-time Grammy-nominated producer: Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne, Sophie B. Hawkins)

“Ruth is an exceptional singer with a powerful and expressive voice. She is insightful and intelligent and has a great gift for sharing her knowledge of the voice, and songwriting with her students. The Singingbelt is ingenious. I have seen Ruth work with a singer for an hour and get the results we needed in the studio immediately.”

“I felt as if I was driving around on square, wooden wheels. Within a couple of weeks, I had smooth, round tires… It’s a revelation.”
