"Darci Monet's deliberate style and phrasing simply cannot be touched. Her ability to transport any audience from the venue to her living room is nothing short of alchemy. Unlike many style coaches (i.e. unsuccessful singers trying to pay bills), Monet conveys a sincere desire to share her considerable gifts with her artists. Study with her; you have nothing to lose - except reasons for record labels to pass on you."

"Darci's flexibility and power are amazing. She has discovered through performance and study how to make her voice go anywhere it needs to! Any singer will benefit from her knowledge and experience."

"Growing up as an instrumentalist, I always wanted to be a singer. I was nervous to take voice lessons, but Darci eased me into it using great techniques and showing me that she is the REAL deal. Her goal? To get me to understand everything she says so that my practice time is always productive! I really enjoy going to my lessons and learning from someone who KNOWS her stuff."
