TESTIMONIALS

"You helped me figure out that missing piece, and once I found it, I've become much more confident."

Thank you for helping me achieve something I had tried and failed to do for 21 years. You helped me figure out that missing piece, and once I found it, I've become much more confident. I got cast as "Red Riding Hood" in INTO THE WOODS, and I wanted to thank you for helping me prepare. That same week, I also auditioned for two other shows, and I used the skills you taught me to prepare. I got cast as "Wednesday" in THE ADDAMS FAMILY and the "Star to Be" in ANNIE, the precise roles I was going for. I have been doing musicals since I was ten, and I have literally never been cast in the role I auditioned for, and then it happened three times in the same week. I don't think that would have happened without your help.

"Pierce took me from a mediocre singer to professional level in less than 15 sessions..."

"You helped me figure out that missing piece, and once I found it, I've become much more confident."

Pierce took me from a mediocre singer to professional level in less than 15 sessions. I have a professional musical theater career now because of the insight and teachings of Pierce Peter Brandt. He is not only a great singing teacher and coach, but a caring man who makes me feel good about my singing in front of people. I whole-heartedly recommend him.

– Robert Faltisco, actor/singer

"My son...has developed control over every aspect of technique and performance."

"You helped me figure out that missing piece, and once I found it, I've become much more confident."

"He poured his expertise into that hour, and my daughter left with so much confidence..."

My teenaged son has been taking lessons with Pierce for 2 years now. We had originally signed up for a month's worth of coaching to prepare my son for an audition, but Pierce was so tremendous that my son began seeing him every week. My son started off with a pretty decent singing voice – he was already performing in musicals – and thanks to Pierce he has elevated his skills, expanded his range, and developed control over every aspect of technique and performance. Plus, Pierce is super nice and easy to work with. We are lucky to have a teacher of his experience and caliber.

– J. Bressler, Menlo Park, California

"He poured his expertise into that hour, and my daughter left with so much confidence..."

My daughter is very involved in musical theater and wanted some help preparing for an audition. Pierce was enthusiastic, positive, and extremely professional. He poured his expertise into that hour, and my daughter left with so much confidence which she in turn brought to the audition. My daughter feels extremely comfortable working with Pierce. He is always encouraging and supportive. He is a fabulous teacher and has a real knack working with young performers. He is an incredibly talented teacher and coach. [Addendum: she got the part!]

I wanted to let you know that I got into the Tisch School of the Arts drama program at New York University (NYU)! I am over the moon! I really don't think I could have done this without you. Thank you for all your support, and I am so grateful for all you have taught me.

– Michelle Browning, actor/singer

"I had huge performance anxiety and it mostly went away after working with Pierce."

"He poured his expertise into that hour, and my daughter left with so much confidence..."

"Thank you for all your support, and I am so grateful for all that you have taught me."

Pierce is very positive and encouraging which helped greatly with my performance confidence. I had huge performance anxiety and it mostly went away after working with Pierce. He will challenge you to improve, but sessions are fun and positive. I did some research before choosing Pierce, and he is one of the best, if not the best, in the Bay Area. My group singing class teacher at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco was super excited that I was working with him. He is also known for coaching the story-telling part of the songs, which is critical for musical auditions.

– David, actor/singer
