Understand your Voice. Discover your Sound.
Nashville-trained vocal coaching · Springfield, MO & online
Trained under Brett Manning (Singing Success) Featured in Nashville Voyager
For singers who’ve hit a wall, or set their voice down years ago, and for artists who need their voice to go the distance. Fix the breaks, sing without strain, and find the sound that’s actually yours.
Learn to understand your voice — Most singers don’t need more vocal exercises
Every voice is different. So why should every singer sing the same way?
Most singers don’t need more vocal exercises. They need a better understanding of their voice.
Too many singers spend years chasing YouTube videos, repeating random scales, and trying advice that was never designed for their instrument. They work harder, yet high notes still feel strained, their mix won’t connect, and their voice feels different every day. Often they’re reaching and squeezing for notes their voice could find with far less effort.
My coaching takes a different approach. Every lesson begins with listening. Together, we’ll find what’s helping your voice thrive, uncover what’s holding it back, and build a plan around your voice—not someone else’s.
Whether you’re working through a vocal break, strengthening your mix, preparing for the studio, leading worship, or finding your signature sound, you’ll leave every lesson with practical tools, more confidence, and a clearer understanding of how your voice works.
Learn to understand your voice
Not just train it
In Person in Springfield & Nashville, or Online From Anywhere
Whether you’re looking for voice lessons in Springfield, MO, booking a session during one of my Nashville dates, or working with an online vocal coach from anywhere in the world, my goal is the same: to help you understand your voice so you can sing with freedom, confidence, and consistency.
Drawing from years of professional performance, studio work, and artist development, I help singers build healthy technique, strengthen their mix, increase range and endurance, and refine tone and phrasing—without wearing their voice out. You won’t just leave singing better. You’ll understand your voice well enough to keep growing long after the lesson ends.
Let’s get together for your Free Discovery Lesson
Save your spot for a complimentary 45-minute virtual lesson. We’ll find what’s helping your voice, what’s holding it back, and exactly what to work on next.
Every coach is shaped by the mentors who invest in them, and I’m so grateful for mine.
Early in my coaching journey in Nashville, I trained under celebrity vocal coach Brett Manning and his Singing Success methodology. Brett gave me a systematic way of understanding the voice that completely changed how I coach.
He taught me to be a diagnostic listener: to “look under the hood,” hear what a voice is communicating, and match each singer with the right exercise for their specific needs. He taught me not just what to teach, but how to think as a coach.
I wouldn’t be the coach I am today without that foundation. Now I bring it to every singer I work with, in Springfield and online, so your training is built on proven, healthy technique and shaped around your voice.
Built on a strong foundation. Personalized for your voice.

As someone who had taken years off singing, I was hesitant about jumping back in and lacked confidence in my voice. I started working with Monica to knock the rust off and see what I could be capable of with focused instruction. In just a few months, I was shocked to hear how much my voice had strengthened and opened up. Now, nearly a year in, my voice is light years ahead of where we began. Monica has an excellent ability to meet vocalists where they are and to build them up in way that’s knowledgeable, approachable, and fun. Whether a beginner or seasoned pro, I couldn’t recommend her more!

All my life, I have been singing with tension and poor technique. Until I met Monica Sadler. Over the past year, she has patiently worked with me to identify, dismantle, and rebuild my singing habits and mindset. Monica pinpoints what I’m doing incorrectly, and then provides specific exercises and uses creative visuals to help me develop the technique to be able to sound better and sing with more confidence.

Monica is such an incredible vocal coach. Every time I have a lesson with her I hear growth in my voice and am left feeling encouraged. Not only that, but when I am struggling with an exercise, Monica always creatively finds a way to help me accomplish the desired goal.

Monica has a great teaching disposition and immediately puts you at ease with her genuine manner. I valued how much I learnt from her in such a short space of time and was able to ask questions along the way. She has so much knowledge to share, makes it easy to understand and is really encouraging. She gave me some really helpful exercises to understand my voice more to gain control and relieve tension. Thank you so much!

Not sure where your voice needs to start?
That’s exactly what the Discovery Lesson is for.
I could never be a vocal coach…
That’s what I told myself.
My own voice felt like a constant battle. How could I help someone else find freedom when I couldn’t seem to find it myself?
I loved music and knew I’d been given a gift, but every path I pursued seemed to end in disappointment. Nashville didn’t unfold the way I imagined. Other dreams came and went. Eventually, I was ready to lay music down altogether…until I remembered one lesson that changed everything.
It wasn’t just my voice that needed freedom—it was my perspective.
If you’ve ever been ready to set your voice down for good, I understand. And I don’t believe your story is over.

Ready to discover yours?
Are you wreaking havoc on your voice?
Most vocal strain doesn’t come from singing too much. It comes from habits you can’t hear yourself: reaching, squeezing, and pushing for notes your voice could find with far less effort. In your Discovery Lesson, we’ll find what’s wearing your voice out and what to do instead.
