Voice Lessons for Worship Leaders & Church Singers in Jacksonville
Leading worship asks a lot of a voice — early call times, multiple services, singing over a full band, and doing it all without pulling focus. Vicki Lee helps church singers sound their best and stay healthy Sunday after Sunday.
Coaching for the singers who lead the room
Church singers face a set of challenges most voice students never think about. You're singing early in the morning, sometimes two or three times in a row. You're competing with drums and electric guitar, often with in-ear monitors or a wedge that never seems loud enough. And you're expected to lead a room full of people without making the moment about you.
Vicki builds lessons around exactly those demands. Breath support and placement come first, because that's what keeps a voice from getting tired or hoarse by the end of a long Sunday. From there, she works on harmony, blend, microphone technique and the confidence to lead from the front.
Lessons are open to worship leaders, praise team vocalists, choir members, soloists and gospel singers of any denomination, in any style from traditional hymns to contemporary worship.
Great for whole teams, too
- Small-group lessons are available in the studio, so two or three praise team members can train together.
- Learn to find and hold harmony parts by ear.
- Work on blend, so the team sounds like one sound instead of separate voices.
“I don't teach a curriculum. I teach the voice that walks in the door.”
— Vicki Lee, vocal coach since 2004
What worship vocal coaching covers
Practical skills you'll use the very next Sunday.
Vocal stamina
Breath support and efficient technique so your voice lasts through rehearsal and every service without going hoarse.
Singing early in the day
Warm-ups that wake up a morning voice quickly and safely before call time.
Harmony by ear
Finding, holding and blending harmony parts, even when nobody hands you a chart.
Mic and monitor technique
Distance, dynamics and hearing yourself so you're not oversinging to compensate for the mix.
Leading the room
Cueing the congregation, starting songs with confidence, and leading without performing.
Recording your team
Studio 105 is a working recording studio — ideal for demo tracks, Christmas specials or original worship songs.
Soloist or section singer
Lessons shift depending on your role on the team.

From first call to first performance
Every student moves through the same four stages — only the pace and the material change.

Feel the difference in your voice by the end of a long Sunday.
Before you book
Do you work with singers from any church or denomination?
Yes. Lessons are open to church singers of any denomination and worship style, from traditional hymns and choir music to contemporary worship and gospel.
Can our whole praise team take lessons together?
Small-group lessons are available in the studio on request, which works well for two or three team members working on harmony and blend. Online lessons are one-on-one.
My voice is tired or hoarse after Sunday. Can lessons help?
Fatigue after singing is often a sign of technique that's working harder than it needs to. Breath support and efficient placement are the first things Vicki addresses. If hoarseness is persistent or painful, see a doctor or ENT as well.
Can we use songs from our own setlist?
Yes. Working on the songs you'll actually sing on Sunday is one of the fastest ways to improve.
Can our worship team record at Studio 105?
Studio 105 Recording offers recording from demos to fully produced, mastered tracks. Visit studio105recording.com or ask Vicki for details.
