Vocal Euphoria

Great News! Currently accepting NEW STUDENTS for online or in-person, private lessons and group workshops. Limited spots available.

Vocal Euphoria is that awesome, amazing feeling you get when you sing and hit a beautiful note or speak and deliver a wonderful message!

Greetings Grasshoppers, my name is Carolyn! I'm a Professional Vocalist, Entertainer, Actor, TED Talks Speaker, Voice and Performance Coach. I am also an Instructor/Sensei, and the Owner and Founder of Vocal Euphoria. I've been singing and performing for over 30 yrs and teaching since 2009.

Welcome to Vocal Euphoria!

I started my little biz because I realized that there were so many people out there who were never taught how to perform in front of an audience. Over the years, I learned to sing, I learned theory and even learned to play a few instruments but whenever I was asked to perform in front of an audience I was terrified. When I asked my teachers how to fix this they didn't know how. In fact they were scared too. I found this fascinating! After much research I discovered that most instructors had no idea how to address stage fright and in fact since I started my business, many of those same instructors started coming to me for lessons. I am thrilled that I get to teach many established singers, actors and public speakers how to be the best in front of an audience, big or small.

Vocalist, Entertainer, Actor, TED Talks Speaker, Voice and Performance Coach

A dynamic, visionary performer, director, and storyteller, Carolyn Thompson’s passion for performance grew out of a homelife imbued with eclectic musical tastes, from the roots reggae and calypso favoured by her mother to the 80’s rock her older brothers enjoyed. These diverse sounds and energies laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for telling moving, compelling stories through music.

In her early years, Carolyn joined the string ensemble – learning classical technique on the cello, upright bass, and viola – and attended drama classes – finding her confidence and freedom on the stage, before joining choir, where she performed classical, music theatre, and pop. Hooked, she knew this was her calling.

In her debut solo public performance (senior year of high school), Carolyn performed Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” partnering with Jim Creeggan on electric bass and Ed Robertson on guitar (of Barenaked Ladies fame). The rush transformed Carolyn’s trajectory, and continues to ignite her every performance, charming new and return audiences alike!

With a spellbinding fusion of Jazz (Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington), Acid Jazz (Brand New Heavies, Incognito, Jamiroquai), Soul (Chaka Khan, Jill Scott), R&B (Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston) Pop (Michael Jackson, Luba) and Funk (Stevie Wonder, James Brown) influences, Carolyn captivates audiences of all sizes. From festivals such as the renowned Toronto Beaches International Jazz Festival and the Taste of Little Italy as the frontwoman of Cobra Kings, Project Phoenix, and more, to playing the Toronto circuit as the lead of the Carolyn T Band, her electric personal continues to engage and invigorate audiences.

Strongly focused on supporting her community, Carolyn has headlined local events, including the 2007 and 2008 Think Pink fundraisers, Diva Night 2008 (featured on CITY-TV’s Breakfast Television), and Diva Night 2009 Mother’s Day. She also launched the Open Jam Night @ Harlem Restaurant in 2009, emceeing the weekly community event to promote local Jazz, Soul, R&B, and Funk musicians and performers. This event held a central place in the Toronto music scene until its final jam session on 2012. She also has hosted a TEDx talk (Stage fright: Carolyn Thompson at TEDxMilton), and was interviewed on CTV Pop Life(How can you conquer a fear of stage fright? The Pop Life panel discusses) with singers Keiza and Ambur Braid.

Having worked to overcome her own performance anxieties, Carolyn leveraged those experiences in 2009 to launch her brand, Vocal Euphoria, where she partners with clients and individuals eager to explore their own voices, goals, and performance capabilities. With an intuitive approach, she empowers clients to lean into fears and anxieties to achieve the authenticity and strength that can only come from a place of vulnerability. From bands and performance groups, to individual actors and vocalists, to public speaking students, Ms. Thompson builds tailored coaching strategies that effectively utilize client strengths, doubts, and targets to propel outstanding personal growth. Key coaching engagements include: Voice Coach Expert in an episode of NewlyWed Nearly Dead, Voice & Performance Group Sessions at Centennial College, and Performance Sessions with PriceWaterhouse Cooper. She has also served as the Keynote Speaker for the Beaches Rotary Club and 3rd Annual "Womans Worth" Events.

A prolific actor, Carolyn has also appeared in commercials, shows, and movies, including "Renovate my Wardrobe" and "Sheridan College Game Design" Commercial, as well as the MADD (Mothers against Drunk Driving) movie “Shattered,” shown in high schools across Canada from 2010 to 2011.

Ms. Thompson holds a Radio and TV Broadcasting Diploma from Seneca College and an AEC / DEP or Skilled Trade Certificate in Life Coach (2020) from Rhodes Wellness College. She is a driving force in the Toronto Arts and Music scene, a motivational speaker, and soulful, powerhouse vocalist known for successfully leading and headlining nationally- and internationally-noted events.

TED Talks

Vocal Euphoria TED Talks

Ideas Worth Spreading

"I LOVE TED Talks! So when I was invited to speak at TEDx Milton I nearly passed out from shear joy! ...then reality set in. I was nervous. In fact I remember doubting my abilities and wondering if I would be good enough. That's when I realized I have to do this. I must do this because of what I am feeling right now and what everyone feels. This isn't just for me ...its for all my students who are terrified to sing or speak in front of an audience. So it was decided then. I had to share my personal struggle with becoming a singer and overcoming stage fright. Now I help others conquer their fear and find their true voice by telling their story and learning the power of vulnerability through singing and public speaking. I love my job!" Carolyn Thompson

Carolyn talks about her struggle with Stage Fright:

Carolyn Thompson is a TEDx speaker, a singer and vocal performance coach. She also happens to rent office space at The... Workaround. I’ve heard Carolyn with her students, so as I struggled this week to get the tone and pacing of my talk right, I asked to hire her for an hour. I figured even though I don’t need formal acting lessons to give a presentation, simply running through my talk with a pro would be a good use of time.WELL. Here is a story of me going in with not many expectations and being totally blown away by talent. It’s a wonder why Carolyn isn’t booked up for months. In just 45 minutes not only did she give me tools for memorization that actually stuck in my brain, but she taught me skills I had never heard of before. And I give talks A LOT. I thought I knew what I was doing. But I was WRONG.I have a better understanding of how to not jumble my words, to punch consonants and breathe correctly. I understand what it means to present confidence and really feel your words. Carolyn did that for me. I repeat, IN ONE SESSION. I had to hire her again this week so I could get even better at perfecting my delivery.If you are preparing for a talk, even virtually, I HIGHLY recommend a virtual hour with Carolyn. She brought my talk to the next level. I am more confident for filming than I ever was, and this is saying a lot given I’ve been in lockdown with two sick kids and solo parenting and trying to manage a business from home. I was sure I’d be screwing this whole thing up. But Carolyn truly helped me, beyond what I thought, and I was reminded to ditch the whole "I'm an expert and have got this" ego. I went into a learning session willing, but not expecting, to be molded, and I was TRANSFORMED. Do it. Hire Carolyn. The end read more

I have been working with Carolyn for the last few months and love it. I look forward to every session. My singing... background isn't substantial but its something I really wanted to do and she has helped me get out of my own way, which is such a great feeling and allows me to do things I never thought you could. I learn something at every session and I am able to apply it in real life musical situations. Thanks Carolyn for your patience, understanding, humor and of course being my Sensai! when its time to get to work!read more

Carolyn has a way bringing the best out of her students. Her method of teaching is a fusion of technique and... practicality that is challenging as well as rewarding. On top of all of that, she is an absolute delight in lessons! Carolyn can help you realize the voice that you've had inside yourself all along, and she can teach you how to embrace your own voice in order to build up your confidence so you can share it. Carolyn sees music and singing as an act of storytelling. No better time than now to start listening to her stories and learn how to effectively tell your own.read more

Carolyn has been coaching my 8 year old and I see a vast improvement in her confidence and vocal development. I... sometimes can't believe my ears when I hear her singing. She's also learning a variety of music styles to the point of asking me to spin some ole skool music for her. I like that the program is goal driven and progress is measured. Credit to Carolyn for really taking her under her wings.read more

I only had the one lesson with Carolyn, but it definitely won't be my last. She has a wonderfully warm energy and makes... you feel comfortable and at ease. The space in her home is inviting and open. More to the point - this is about singing lessons and I felt that, even though it was only the first lesson, I would be able to learn so much from her. I am excited to sign up for more.read more

Carolyn coached me five years ago just before I went into the studio for the first time to do some recording with my... band, and she was tremendous help as I tried to capture my voice and sound. Now that I have an opportunity to sing again - often and publicly, I knew I needed Carolyn's help again. Her techniques and her style have helped me move my voice to new places, and more than anything else, she has helped me get out of my own way to let my style and talent shine thorough. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone who wanted voice or performance training - she's the best.read more

Carolyn has been instrumental in my development as an artist. Her coaching helped build and refine my skills in singing... and delivering my own written music. Her exercises and ability to fine tune my sound with clear advice, and focus me mentally for performances was very helpful. She's also friendly. Your extreme skill and knowledge is inspiring. Thanks a lot!read more

I look after my daughter's young band, Lightning the Band. A group of shy youngsters with a serious love of music. I... was desperately trying to find someone who could coach them musically, as well as with respect to stage presence. Being pretty new to this "manager" of the band type situation, I didn't know where to turn. A good friend suggested I contact Carolyn Thompson. What a session!! She got those kids who were almost too nervous to even speak, to actually start singing and moving. It was an awesome experience. She achieved so much with them is short time available. We were very happy with her abilities and the whole experience. I give her a huge THUMBS UP and 6 stars out of 5! Thanks Carolyn Thompson from Celeste Segal and Lightning the Band!read more

Wow!Simply WOW!As an entertainment photographer I was invited to shoot a couple of classes.During my career as an... entertainment photographer, I have seen hundreds of singers in bands, solo artist, spoken word as well as A Capella.I have always admired someone stepping up in front of an audience, and have a deep appreciation for talent. After so many shows/performances, I believe I am good at spotting true talent over forced. Those who are at ease over those struggling to stay on stage.Since being able to witness first hand what it takes to truly perform vocally, I am now so much more aware of the effort put in by performers since attending these classes. I have personally witnessed Carolyn's coaching and suggestions, and have seen much improvement in those students who have taken to heart her lessons.I believe Carolyn to be not only a thorough instructor, but sensitive and observing of each individual she works with, pinpointing exactly that which could use some work, while at the same time uplifting and praising that which the student already has.Should I ever be so inclined to put my own voice on the line, it is good to know I have a friend in Carolyn who will most certainly help me bring out my best. Knowing my best may not be on par with other performers is not Carolyn's approach, but magnifying and helping one realize each persons own ABILITY most certainly is. Helping these students truly feel comfortable with what they as individuals bring to the 'table' is of the greatest importance, in my opinion, based on what I have witnessed. Building confidence in a room with others present is certainly an amazing tool which Carolyn has truly mastered, and- it works!read more

I purchased a class with Vocal Euphoria as a Groupon gift for my mother. When she attempted to call Vocal Euphoria, a... woman answered and wound't let my mom book a class until she had told her the "goals" of taking a signing class. My mom answered it was a gift from her daughter and it was just for fun, she didn't understand anything about goals. The woman was incredibly difficult. My mother has an accent, and there was no attempt to understand. My mom had to call a second time, and the woman remembered the first conversation. She then refused to book my mom because my mom didn't display enthusiasm for the class. This has been the worst Groupon experience, and a terribly sour turn for what was supposed to be a fun Christmas gift. Just awful to be refused service, especially as my mom is shy about singing and this was supposed to bring her out of her shell. Why offer Groupon experiences if you are not willing to accommodate beginners and those exploring what singing is about? I would not recommend based on awful customer service.read more

I bought 5 classes for public speaking from Carolyn and I came all the way from Newfoundland to do it! I am so glad... that I had these sessions with Carolyn. She is AWESOME! She is professional, organized and super friendly. All heart!!! I never felt stressed or uncomfortable ever. Now that I am finished I am not near as freaked out about public speaking as I was. Her technique is clear and the exercises are very helpful. I was able to figure out why I was having difficulties without Carolyn actually spelling it out for me. That was the beauty because her technique allows the person to experience speaking or singing with confidence and that kind of training is what works. Thank-you Miss Carolyn T. You are the best!read more

Carolyn is not only a person I love with all my heart for many reasons but she is a great singer and an amazing vocal... coach. Some years ago I tried to sing, tried get rid of the thought of me never freeing my voice. At the time I couldn't due to many circumstances, work and so. Even when I couldn't make the best out of my classes with her, I kept her advices stuck in my head. Today, I can proudly say I am a singer too in a touring act and the only vocal couch I've ever had helped me to do so even when she was not there. Now, don't tell this to Carolyn or she will rooster up.read more

Having worked with Carolyn for 3 months, I can say with confidence she is a teacher who will take you to the next... level. She's fun, easygoing, and her spirit and enthusiasm for teaching will have you feeling comfortable to release your best voice. She focuses on confidence issues and projection and will identify simple ways that you can improve your voice. She won't do the work for you - 90% of your improvement will naturally only be done with time and practice - but she'll teach you some surprisingly simple tricks that will make previous difficulties a breeze, and fun to practice!read more
