With just one session, not only have my speech skills improved but my perspective has also shifted as I look toward elevating my public speaking career. Carolyn creates a safe, encouraging, and courageous space to develop your voice. It was a fun, informative, and impactful session! Will definitely continue to work with her!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this generous feedback. Working with speakers like you—curious, committed, and ready to elevate—is exactly why I do this work. You have a powerful message, and I’m excited to help you bring it forward with clarity, confidence, and impact. This is only the start.
If you had told me my vocal ability would improve after just one session, I might not have believed you – but that is exactly what I experienced!!!! Carolyn is truly a vocal sensei, a master at her craft who helps us move past the limits we place on ourselves! Thank you Carolyn!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this — it truly means a lot. Watching that shift happen so quickly is one of my favourite parts of this work. You already had far more ability than you realized; the session simply helped clear the path so it could come through. I’m excited to see how you continue to stretch past those old limits and step fully into your voice.
Carolyn IS a Sensei! Truly a Master at her craft. I felt right at home and comfortable working with her right out of the gate… so much so, she nearly fell out of her chair when I told her in our 1st session “I TRUST YOU”.
I’ve been singing for awhile, but I’ve known of Carolyn’s work for years and I always knew I would call upon her when I needed help. I’m sure glad I did!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this. Your trust from day one genuinely stayed with me — and yes, I still remember that moment. I’m so glad you finally called on me when the time was right. It was a joy working with you and supporting your voice.
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. Watching confidence grow alongside skill—especially at such a young age—is one of the most rewarding parts of this work. Your support and trust made a real difference, and it was a joy helping her explore music with curiosity and confidence. I’m so glad the progress felt meaningful to you.
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 <3
Response from the owner:Dang. This is a massive compliment. Thank you!
Its all you. I just pulled out what was already inside you. I can't wait to see you rock your TED Talks!
Carolyn is both perceptive and supportive. She knew exactly what I need to work on and provided really clear direction on achieving these goals.
Response from the owner:Thank you Barbara! I am so proud of how far you have come. Keep up the good work. Your songwriting skills are awesome and your singing is getting better every time I see you. You got this!
Had an awesome time with Carolyn 😀 She was so helpful and encouraging. I learned a lot my very first lesson. Thanks Carolyn 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you Alea! It made me happy to help you find that voice trapped inside you and its great to teach someone so willing to learn. Keep singing and see you again soon, I hope!
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!
Response from the owner:Awww shucks, thanks so much Rob! It's inspiring to work with you because you come with so much passion for music. What an honour and a pleasure it is to watch you grow as a singer and musician. I'm excited to see what happens next! Well done Grasshopper!
My daughter had her first lesson with Carolyn and was at first quite nervous but by the end of just that first lesson was singing louder and with more confidence! I'm impressed! Carolyn is a very fun and informative instructor. My daughter is looking forward to additional lessons with Carolyn!
Response from the owner:It was really great to meet you both and thank you for your kind words. I’m excited to work with your daughter again 🙂
A great teacher! I am on my sixth course with Carolyn, and it’s been fun, and I have been learning so much. She is a passionate singer and knows how to share that passion. I am always excited for my next lesson! Thank you Carolyn.
Response from the owner:I’m having a ton of fun teaching you and hearing you improve with each lesson! Thank you so much 😊😉😋
Carolyn is an amazingly positive person, who really makes you feel at ease. Singing in front of people can already be stressful, but she helps you through it making the entire experience enjoyable. She really is a fantastic coach!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review! Keep in mind it was already in you. My job was to find it and show you its there…and boy did we find it! Proud of you. Happy Summer and see you again soon 🙂
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this! Kristen you are so talented. Every time you sing the world is a happier place 🙂 I love working with you and look forward to many more sessions! See you soon!
Carolyn is a true professional. I noticed results after only one session with Carolyn, all through her unique vocal teaching methods. I would recommend Vocal Euphoria coaching to anyone who wants to improve their vocal and live performance abilities
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. I’m glad you noticed results so quickly and that the work supported both your vocal and live performance goals. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Carolyn T is a fantastic vocal coach! She walks you through each step with great detail, and really allows you to feel comfortable stepping out of your shell as a beginner. She is very patient with her students, and you really do see an improvement in your vocals after one session with her! I enjoyed the break-down of the singing process, and then piecing everything that you've learned together at the end of the lesson. I definitely recommend Carolyn T!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this thoughtful review and recommendation. Helping singers feel safe, supported, and clear about the process—especially in the early stages—is something I care deeply about. I’m so glad the session helped things click and that you felt real progress right away.
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this thoughtful review. Creating a welcoming, focused space where learning can happen quickly has always been important to me. I’m so glad the first session felt clear, comfortable, and productive, and that you could already see what was possible moving forward.
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this — supporting you at such pivotal moments in your creative journey was truly meaningful. Helping artists get out of their own way and let their voice and style come through has always been at the heart of my work. I’m grateful for your trust, and I appreciate you taking the time to share this.
Patient, supportive and a good reader of character. Every session I've had with Carolyn Thompson has developed my confidence, voice and listening skills. She has helped me focus on my ideas so that I can better prepare myself for public speaking events.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this thoughtful review. Helping speakers build confidence, sharpen their voice, and clarify their ideas so they can show up prepared and grounded has always been central to my work. I appreciate your trust and I’m glad the sessions supported your growth.
It is an amazing experience and Carolyn definitely knows what she does. Absolutely recommend to all those who want to learn to sing or enhance their voice at the professional level. She is absolutely fantastic both as a coach and as a person.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for the kind words and recommendation. Supporting singers at all levels and helping them strengthen their voice with confidence and clarity is always the goal. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I loved working with Carolyn! She helped me harness my craft as a Singer and as a Songwriter. She knows your potential and ensures that you do your best to reach it. She also helped me with my first Stand Up Comedy set and with her help I was able to perform GREAT on stage.
Thanks Carolyn!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this — working across disciplines and helping performers bring their full voice to the stage has always been one of my favourite parts of this work. I’m so glad the sessions supported you not just as a singer and songwriter, but as a performer stepping into something new. I truly appreciate your trust and kind words.
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this thoughtful review. Supporting artists as they refine their voice, their material, and their performance mindset is work I take very seriously. I’m glad the sessions helped you feel more focused, prepared, and confident, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this generous review. Supporting young performers—especially those finding their voice and confidence for the first time—is work I care deeply about. Watching that shift from hesitation to expression happen so quickly was incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful for your trust, and I’m so glad the experience felt meaningful for both the band and you.
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this perspective. Having an experienced industry professional observe the work and notice the growth in performers means a great deal to me. Creating an environment where individuals feel confident, supported, and able to bring their best forward—especially in front of others—has always been central to my approach. I truly appreciate your thoughtful observations.
Carolyn IS a Sensei! Truly a Master at her craft. I felt right at home and comfortable working with her right out of the gate… so much so, she nearly fell out of her chair when I told her in our 1st session “I TRUST YOU”.
I’ve been singing for awhile, but I’ve known of Carolyn’s work for years and I always knew I would call upon her when I needed help. I’m sure glad I did!
Response from the owner:Aww Thank you for the kind words Dennis. I’m really looking forward to working together. ☺️🙏🏾
Carolyn is a great public speaking teacher! I am really excited for our sessions together as I am learning a lot of great skills I have been able to use in my speaking engagements!
Response from the owner:Wow! thank you so much. The pleasure is all mine 🙂
Carolyn is wonderful. I enrolled my 9 year old daughter to for her singing class. She truly enjoys every moment. Great energy. Thanks for a start to a wonderful vocal experience.
It was an enlighteng experiences for my daughter she shoned with just the first session Carolyn has tons of enthusiasm and a great coach
Response from the owner:Greetings. I tried sending you a friend request but it failed, that's why I decided to write something beautiful in your comment box. Would you mind trying it from your side? I will be happy to be friends with you. If you find this message embarrassing, please pardon my manners. thanks
I've had one lesson with Carolyn. Within 20 mins I was belting out notes that I have never been able to before. She's amazing, warm and a truly gifted teacher. I will be going back. �
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.

As soon as Carolyn and her band walked in I could feel their energy! We hired them to play for our corporate event and our guests had a blast. Lovely band, will definitely hire them again.
We were fortunate enough to have the incomparable Queen Carolyn T (leading her 5-piece band) play at our Wedding Reception. I think it's fair to say we knew we WANTED to hire QCT after watching some of her sample clips, but we knew that we HAD to hire QCT within thirty seconds of meeting her (via Zoom at that). QCT's energy is infectious. She is assertive in the best way: the way that tells you she knows exactly what she's doing, and that you're in great hands. With regards to performance, from QCT's "velvet rasp", to the band's musicianship, to the simple red fabric unifying the look of each band member, QCT and her band oozed professionalism and simply brought the house down. She was even flexible in learning new pieces we requested (I Put a Spell on You blew the roof off the place). Can't wait to get married again so I can hire her. Sorry honey!
Response from the owner:Wow. Thank you for the high praise! I love my job!
It was easy to stay motivated with your consistent kindness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism, combined with your great sense of humour, graciousness and generosity. Thank you again for including me and my band to perform for you on your special day. So much fun!
Haha Can’t wait till you get married again, Randy and Andy! 😉
When Queen Carolyn T (QCT) and the band were doing the sound check all I could think was YES!!!! This is going to be amazing! And they did not disappoint. From my vantage point it was just perfect!
Throughout the planning process they were patient with us and followed up which was appreciated as we’re scattered, worked with us to design a flow for the event that worked well, worked with our budget and gave us several options, and answered all our questions especially the not fun ones about pandemics and cancellations.
We got sooooo many glowing comments from guests and a common question was where did you find this band? (so of course I’ll take credit for that😉)
It was an absolute delight to be on the dance floor enjoying what QCT does so well. Well worth the blisters. Thank you for making the party such a great time!
Thank you Carolyn & your band for making my 50th Birthday Party the talk of the town! You created an easy and fun atmosphere for us to celebrate. People who weren't even there are telling me it was a great party!!
Queen Carolyn sang at our wedding and everyone was so impressed! Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but her band was also very talented. The range of songs they personalized for us was out of this world, we couldn’t have asked for a more special day!

Voice of an angel. Wisdom of a Saint. One of the best people I have worked with professionally. If you require vocal talents….you will not find better than Carolyn. Check out her other Web page as well…..you can't help but be impressed. Continued success Carolyn!!!

The following reviews were submitted directly and span Carolyn’s work as a coach, performer, speaker, and band leader.
“Working with you was fantastic and I knew from our first conversation that it would be a great fit! Thanks for all of your help and guidance with the technical aspects. The band was incredible and I have heard nonstop how rad you guys were…and rightfully so. Thanks for making this event really amazing.”
Ryan Hayward Diane Frankling Housing Co-operative Annual Pride Party Community Projects Coordinator
“Having recently had our wedding in the Niagara-on-the-Lake Region, we have hired the Carolyn T Band to perform at our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Not only was working with her before the date easy and enjoyable, but the day of was a great success: All our guests were amazed at the quality of the performance (including Carolyn’s voice, which is very much like Aretha Franklin’s) and were asking us where we had found the band. They created a very lively, fun atmosphere for guests to just shed their inhibitions and dance the night away on the stage. We would certainly recommend them to anyone else; overall, faultless execution with outstanding live performance!”

“Thanks Carolyn for performing at our recent corporate event. Your musicality and force of personality really warmed things up. It is always a pleasure to see someone who so truly loves what they do in action. I also was thoroughly impressed by the musicianship of your backing band. We look forward to working with you at future events, a once again, a job well done.“
Chris Dunn Dutton Brock LLP
“As a voice coach, Carolyn Thompson was outstanding. As a budding politician, she helped me enormously to better enunciate, pace my delivery and inject some emotional anecdotes into my speeches. While I didn’t get elected in the October 2011 provincial election, I did much better in the eight debates than I otherwise would have, due to the wonderful training sessions that Carolyn provided.“
Tim Grant Green Party of Ontario candidate in Trinity-Spadina
“Before we worked with Carolyn, we know how to play but we didn’t know how to perform. She changed all of that. We now know how to listen to each other, create energy and most importantly communicate and create an impact with the audience. We went from good to great!“
Ken Goodwin PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Partner & Drummer of Winning Band “Bill’s Choice” of the “Big 4 Battle of the Band”Oct 2011
“Thank you Carolyn for taking part in our 3rd annual “Woman’s Worth” event. (proceeds donated to Breast Cancer Research). The event is surrounded by so much emotion throughout the day and as our keynote speaker you really did an amazing job with connecting and engaging our audience, adding humor and fun to the event. We received a great deal of positive feedback for your presentation and we hope we have the opportunity in being entertained by you again.“
Mary Corrado The Business Agents President
“I was thrilled to hear that Carolyn was the key note speaker for the Woman’s Worth Seminar. From the moment I met Carolyn, I knew we were kindred spirits! She is passionate about life and has a bigger than life presence. With her friendly and welcoming presence, she connects with her audience with ease and flow. Her dynamic energy draws people to her and her key note presentation was brilliant. When she asked for volunteers, so many hands went up for the opportunity to work with her. To our joy and amazement she shared with us gems and fun exercises to create a powerful presence, how to think on our feet, project clearly while reaching our own audience with our voice and with confidence. She had the volunteers say the fun phrase from “My Fair Lady” through “The rain in spain falls mainly on the plane.” This simple and powerful fun exercise showed us how we can speak clearly, pronouncing our words and reach a full room. I am still singing the song and remembering the day’s event with Carolyn! Everyone left with a take away about confidence and tapping into our own genius! I would recommend Carolyn to anyone who wants to grow themselves and their business.“
Moira Sutton successbreakthrough.com Life & Success Coach, Motivational Speaker, Author “8 Keys to Unlocking your Infinite Passion”
“Wow, what an amazing voice, what a great band, what a fun night …. Carolyn T and her 7-piece band rocked our event all night long. They brought energy to the room right from the beginning and got all 350 gala attendees dancing all night long – they are fun; their music is fantastic …. You just can’t stop dancing! I would definitely hire them again to play at any event that I wanted to be a success. Carolyn is organized, knows how to pick the right musicians, and to work within a budget. Thank you so much Carolyn T for making our Gala so fabulous- you are an incredible WOMAN & your band ROCKED!“

“This summer, my 15 year old daughter expressed interest in getting vocal lessons / coaching. After thoroughly researching potential coaches online, Carolyn Thompson is 1 of 3 who made my shortlist. She was also the first one I contacted (out of the 3). Needless to say, when Carolyn and I spoke on the phone, I knew immediately that she is the right fit for my daughter and I booked sessions with her. My daughter is quite opinionated and she will let me know right away if it wasn’t working out…. We’re still with Carolyn as we speak so that says a lot! I noticed several encouraging changes in my daughter’s demeanor right away – increased confidence, improved verbal expression, positive self-esteem, not to mention an amazingly strong voice that my daughter was delighted and happy to find within herself. It’s hard enough to be a teenage girl these days, and I am a believer in continuously supporting and encouraging my daughter throughout her transition to adulthood. I am relieved to find someone like Carolyn in our community. She is a positive role model for my daughter (and for others who are lucky enough to cross paths with her).“
Elaine De Marzo-Robins, PMP Rogers Communications Inc Program Manager
“Carolyn T is a powerful woman and an inspiring performer. Her vibrant,passionate presence is truly something not only to behold, but from which to learn. During our coaching session, she competently addressed my questions with relevant information and advice garnered from years of experience in the music industry. However, she also went beyond what I knew to ask, showing me invaluable performance techniques that I would not otherwise have learned. Carolyn’s Monday night jam at Harlem provides incredible opportunities to meet other musicians, to practice one’s own performance skills and, not least, to listen to fantastic music. I feel very fortunate to know Carolyn and I highly recommend her as a performer and as a coach.“
Meghan McMaster Vocalist
“Carolyn is a wonderful coach. She understood our client’s strengths and weaknesses in performance and completely customized the lessons for the client’s needs. Carolyn’s Open Mic Night provided great opportunities to apply what was learned from lessons into performing on stage. Carolyn is definitely recommended to people that are willing to learn to become a world class performer.“
Sunny Choi A&R Department The Rodney Company c/o Sunny Choi Pianist
“Going to see Carolyn T. was the best decision I made as a new musician. Her skills and insight as a coach are incredible! With her guidance, I took my singing and performance skills to levels I hadn’t even thought possible. She created a warm, supportive yet challenging environment where I felt comfortable taking risks and letting it all out. Carolyn has an amazing intuition and a nurturing spirit, and somehow knew exactly how to draw out my confidence and faith in myself. She’s a phenomenal talent in her own right (oh, my, that voice!) and just a wonderful human being with a joyous, contagious energy. I feel so lucky to have learned from her, and I’ll carry those skills and that inspiration with me forever.“
Anila Pant Singer / Writer
“Words cannot describe how helpful Carolyn helped identify my weakness in speaking to the public. I was a complete mess in speaking to the public, i twisted my words, i over think what i wanted to say and was speaking too fast for anyone to understand me.The public speaking program with Carolyn helped me control my speech, identified my weakness and brought out the confidence in me. I will recommend Carolyn to anyone who wishes to find their inner voice and be comfortable speaking to the public. I cannot wait to start my next session.Money well spent.”

“It’s been a hectic past few weeks but you have been constantly on my mind and so I am taking this time to say thank you SO much for helping Sanae prepare for her auditions and for the guidance you’ve given me through the process of booking her sessions with you. You have been such a beacon of light since I met you and seeing how well you and Sanae connected helped me realize why. I’m also grateful that the universe has made us cross paths so that you could be part of her journey. I always say, it takes a village… When we left your house, after the first session last week, Sanae said your singing “moved her insides”
