it allows them to communicate with other professional musicians
with mutual respect, enhancing the process of creating beautiful music together.
SHE TRAINS ALL HER STUDENTS TO HIT THEIR TARGETED
PRACTICE SESSIONS ON A DAILY
BASIS.
Her students love their "targeted" practice sessions which gives them incredible results.
Gwen realizes that - the wonderful raw talent must be nurtured gently, yet firmly - firmly
to achieve real progress,
yet gently, to build the emotional strength of character.
As the skills begin to manifest from these long
hours of work,
they will need an outlet for expression. Enter "personal appearances" time!
She places "strong emphasis" on having students perform 1-3 times per month
to overcome stage fright and build immeasurable stage presence, charisma and guts.
She gives each student individual
coaching to develop their own unique performance style.

Great, great fun!

Before studying with Gwen Conley I'd worked many years on Broadway and traveled
with various artists singing background vocals. Now that I am a student of Gwen's I am learning to use my vocal
instrument with more confidence and it sounds better everyday. I look forward to being a lead singer. I'm becoming a
lot more aware of the what I am doing and learning to sing with the Power of Intention and ease. Gwen has such a passion
for her work and there's no doubt in my mind that applying her techniques has been a blessing to me vocally. I'm
now doing an incredible amount of gigs with total confidence and enjoying it all.
Thank you, Gwen.

Adopting a gospel choir from
Barcelona, Spain, they attended Gwen's gospel
workshop and achieved their primary goal
of learning to sing
contemporary gospel and praise music. They
returned home
eager to share their new
found "joy" in their homeland.

Having the best
time with one of the world's most beloved icons. Gwen enjoys her idol, Bill Cosby, a few minutes after a jingle session
for Coca-Cola. How cool!!!

As a singer I already
had pretty decent singing skills before I came to Ms. Conley, but I just lacked the stage confidence that comes from a unique
singing style. She worked with me for about 3 months and a half and took me to a higher level in both areas. She
stressed how important it is to perform regularly - at least once a week - not only to build but to remain confident.
I will be sure to return to her for my tune-ups between road trips - just to keep in shape! Gwen's the best voice coach
I've ever had. She's simply the best! Ricardo A.

I wanted to learn R&B. I needed singing training to learn R&B soul. I also
needed my accent worked on for singing R&B. I am getting more confidence when I work with Ms. Gwen. She is tough and
makes me work hard to sing R&B. This is good for me. I can't believe my progress sometimes. Toshiko

After our tour of Germany and Singapore which were the last stops
before returning to the states, I realized I needed a voice tune-up after being away for so long. I always return to
Gwen to get me back "on point". She's my favorite and she is the best. Sean Vanderwilt |

world famous Apollo Theatre. |
Performing regularly and touring
with the Cincinnati Symphony Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Carmen DeLeone, assistant conductor of Cinti. Symphony
Orchestra. "Regular perfomances are imperative in developing solid performance skills." This is a special
point that she stresses with her voice students. |
"I love Gwen! I came last year from Seoul, Korea to learn
to sing R&B and found her in the Backstage Magazine and saw her website on the internet. I didn't know her but her
professional expertise gave me the courage to win auditions. I will return to Korea to teach R&B.
I love performing now! Gwen is an awesome voice coach" who pushes you very hard to be the best you can be! Kelly
