A monthly live vocal lesson and a daily regimen, so you never train in a vacuum and every day of practice counts. At this class Cari teaches the Cole Vocal Method directly, approaching a new exercise each month, then gives you a daily regimen to follow. Progress stops being guesswork and becomes a routine you with results you can feel and others notice.
V-You is the home of The Cole Vocal Method, a master holistic vocal method that builds the voice from foundation to mastery. Built on 40 years of vocal science, the CVM works the source and targets what other techniques miss. Classes are taught in an interactive live format on Zoom, in a private group setting hands-on with Cari.
The Cole Vocal Method is built in 3 Levels. Level I builds the Foundation Level II is the Intermediate command of the instrument, and Level III takes you to Advanced mastery. Enrollment opens each October.
Your membership hands you four libraries the day you join, so you are never left wondering what to practice or where to turn. Everything you need to train sits in one place, ready when you are. Come for a daily warm-up, a full recorded workshop, a quick lesson, or answers on caring for your voice, and it is already waiting for you. This is the training that keeps working between the live calls, so your progress never stalls.

“Best voice lesson I ever had.”
— Chrisette Michele / Grammy winning singer
“Working with Cari has been, and continues to be an incredible experience for me. She has an amazing gift for understanding the many facets from the technical to the mental, emotional and physical aspects. She really helps you understand what you are doing and how it all works!”
— Diane Birch / Award winning singer-songwriter
“Thank you for bringing your vocal wisdom to our door.”
— Jonathan Cain, Journey
“Working with Cari is a beautiful balance of technique and strategy mixed with heart and soul.
If you are looking to level up how you hit notes, have less fatigue, more support and resonance, the Cole Vocal Method is so robust, it’s a life’s amount of knowledge. Cannot recommend enough!”
— Meagan Sky / Award-winning singer-songwriter
“I’m not afraid of the high notes anymore. I have extreme breath control. I went on tour and didn’t have problems with my voice. I am a life-long devotee of Cari Cole and her Cole Vocal Method.”
— Melissa Lundsgaard / Kirtan singer-songwriter
“I am an actress/singer in a small but professional theatre production. We have full-time rehearsals 5 days a week. Now after working with the Cole Vocal Method my voice is not only sounding better than ever before, it is keeping up, and is way more reliable for the first time, ever. I am no longer getting hoarse or losing my voice! I have struggled with this for my whole life! This is just amazing. Thank you!!”
— Charlotte Beerda / Actress, singer, poet
“Working with Cari is the single most influential choice I have made on my path to becoming a professional recording artist. Cari saw and believed in my potential even more than I did. She has been there to guide me while I find my sound and style as an artist. Her guidance led to my first label signing. I know if it weren’t for Cari, I would still just be dreaming of what could be. She is a friend, and a mentor, and her steadfast commitment has changed my course as an artist for the better.”
— Rainsford / Award-winning singer-songwriter
“In nearly 15 years working as a professional singer I have never received the kind of guidance and support that Cari Cole offers. My voice now a stronger instrument, I had the pleasure of testing it next to none other than the world’s most beloved tenor Andrea Bocelli, who invited me to sing alongside him at the end of his Latin American tour. I am now at a level that would’ve taken me at least 10 more years to master. Working with Cari and her method is truly an
amazing gift.”
— Cristal Marie/ Award-winning singer-songwriter
“It’s so nice to have a program that you can stick to and a guide to follow every single day. I’m finding really quick results. I played a four-hour gig two weekends ago and literally sang for four hours and was not hoarse at all after. After singing for years, that’s a first.”
— Joseph Eid / Award-winning singer-songwriter
You have been told to manage expectations, to protect what you have left, to accept a smaller life for your voice.
You were never given the real answer. Nobody offered to fix the problem at the root, until now.
This is where recovery begins.
You have built a practice you are proud of. Your students trust you. And you know there is a deeper level — for them and for your own voice — that your current methodology isn’t reaching.
Real singers are better coaches. Your own growth is the key. nd coaches need support too. V-YOU builds both — your voice and your teaching — at the same time while supporting both sides of you.
This is where your teaching transforms.
You bought the Vocal Freedom Circle. You started the work. And then — life happened. You are not alone. Self-study is hard without accountability. It is not a character flaw. It is a common problem.
The Vocal Mastery Program is the perfect next step. Reinforce Level I with Cari in real time. Go deep into Level II. Weekly sessions, weekly accountability, Cari beside you every step of the way.
There is where you finally do the work.
Cari Cole is a celebrity and holistic vocal coach, artist development expert, music mentor, and founder of the Cole Vocal Method. Over 40 years she has helped upwards of 50,000 singers build or recover their voices, from rock legends and Grammy winners to independent artists across every genre, including Journey, Donald Fagen of Steely Dan, Courtney Love, Chrisette Michele, Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler, Diane Birch, and Rainsford.
She is a Grammy voting member and Mentor for Grammy U and Women in Music. She has taught at Columbia University and NYU, and served on the Board of Directors of the New York Singing Teachers Association. She is also an artist in her own right, whose record Circle of Fire landed on the Grammy ballot for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance alongside Christina Aguilera, Annie Lennox, and Sarah McLachlan.
For four decades she taught this privately, one singer at a time. The Voice YOUniversity is how she brings it to you.
Cari is on a mission of helping singers step into their full potential and transforming 1 million voices worldwide.
The Studio seat is a monthly membership, so you can join V-You at any time.
The year-long programs opens in October.
The programs: Vocal Mastery II and II open every October. You can purchase Vocal Mastery ala carte with your Studio membership, or bundled inside The Academy Seat.
The Intensives:
The four Intensives open for enrollment every three months, in October, January, April, and July.
The Academy
The Academy presents a full curriculum for Year One and Year Two starting in October. The curriculum includes The Vocal Freedom Circle, The Vocal Mastery Program and the Four Intensives.
If you are ready now, start with The Studio so you can be in the room with Cari every month while you prepare for the October curriculum or to join an Intensive. The Vocal Freedom Circle, our self-study foundation, is also available to start whenever you are ready.
If you have been singing for a while and you can feel more in there, this is for you. Maybe you keep hitting the same ceiling, or your voice is strong some days and unreliable others, or you have taken lessons and still want a real foundation under your sound. That is exactly who this membership serves. You get live monthly sessions with Cari, where you get her guidance in the room, built around a focused topic each time with time for questions. You also get a room of singers as committed as you are and a clear plan to practice, whatever you sing and however you already train. Start with The Studio to go at your own pace, or step into The Academy for the complete year. If you want to keep growing, this is your home.
There are two ways in, so you can join at the level that fits where you are right now.
The Studio is where you start, and The Academy is the all-in year. The Studio is an always-open monthly membership that puts you in the room with Cari every month, with two Live Sessions, the Private Global Community, four Resource Libraries, and member pricing on every course. The Academy gives you everything in The Studio plus your full year of curriculum bundled at the best rate. Go month to month at your own pace with The Studio, or take the complete year with The Academy, which is the path we recommend.
Yes. A V-YOU membership, starting with The Studio, is the home the curriculum lives in. When you join, you get access to the programs at the ala-carte Studio discount, the community, the monthly Voice Mastermind with Cari, all under one roof.
Yes. The Studio is a natural stepping stone to The Academy. You can join The Studio and enroll in courses à la carte at member pricing whenever you are ready, and you can move up to The Academy to get your full year of curriculum bundled at the best rate. The upgrade path to The Academy membership opens in October.
Start with The Studio, and you will have access to the Live Monthly Voice Mastermind, The Accelerator Session with Cari and the Community Forum right away. When you are ready, you can enroll in the Vocal Freedom Circle to begin with CVM Level I.
Then, when the October enrollment window opens to purchase the year long program or join The Academy (full curriculum), you can decide whether you are ready to step up into the Vocal Mastery Program, or add one of our additional courses one at a time.
There is no prerequisite to join The Vocal Mastery Program Level II. The Vocal Mastery Program teaches both Level I and Level II of the Cole Vocal Method, so you do not need prior training to begin. If you have already completed the Vocal Freedom Circle, the Vocal Mastery Program is the natural live next step to deepen the work.
Yes, and here is why. The Vocal Mastery Program gives you the training, and the membership is how you keep the gains and keep growing. In The Studio you stay in the room with Cari every month through the Voice Mastermind and the Vocal Accelerator, with the community, the libraries, and member pricing on everything you add. If you have completed Vocal Mastery Program II, the next step is Vocal Mastery Program III, the advanced year, which opens each October and is included in the Academy. Your voice is an instrument, and an instrument needs to be played. This is where you keep it sharp and keep climbing.
Yes. We are a global community. The live masterclass sessions and the Voice Mastermind are conducted over Zoom and accessible from anywhere in the world, and session times are scheduled to accommodate international members as much as possible. Details on session timing are provided upon enrollment.
The Vocal Freedom Circle is a self-study program. It runs 8 weeks at your own pace and covers the foundations of CVM Level I, which makes it a powerful starting point.
The Vocal Mastery Program teaches Level I and II in a live interactive setting, giving you a full year of weekly live masterclass sessions with Cari Cole personally, covering Level I and Level II of the Cole Vocal Method. Level I is reinforced at the top of Level II because it is a robust curriculum on it’s own that needs review. Then in Month 4 Level II curriculum begins.
Many Vocal Freedom Circle students find that the Vocal Mastery Program is the natural next step, the place where the self-study work finally gets reinforced, they get direct access to Cari in class where their experience of the Method gets deepened, and taken further.
Vocal Mastery Program II is the intermediate level of the Cole Vocal Method. It builds resonance and agility, strengthens the belt, and smooths the passaggio, so you gain strength, range, and endurance across the bridge, covering more than 190 exercises across Levels I and II. The first three months include a complete review of Level I taught live, so you can start here and learn Levels I and II together.
Vocal Mastery Program III is the advanced level, the deepest training Cari teaches, carrying you into more than 150 advanced exercises for big power notes, long held notes, riffing, speed, flexibility, higher range, and the finishing techniques that polish a professional voice. Both are a full year of live Zoom training and open each October.
Both levels are taught within the single year of the Vocal Mastery Program, so you are not waiting two years to reach the intermediate-level work.
The Voice Mastermind and Vocal Accelerator Sessions are included with both tiers, starting with The Studio.
Both are monthly live sessions with Cari Cole personally, open to every V-YOU member regardless of tier. For one hour every month, the science meets your voice. You bring your voice, your challenges, and your specific ceiling, and Cari teaches in real time, the same way she teaches in the studio and the same way she has taught Grammy-winning artists and recovering singers for 40 years. This is not a pre-recorded webinar, and it is not a moderated Q&A. It is direct access to Cari, every month.
The Voice Mastermind is your monthly touchpoint with Cari held Live on Zoom. Each month she presents a vital topic on voice to present to you with full slides and learning with a little time at the end for questions.
The Vocal Accelerator is your monthly voice lesson with Cari held Live on Zoom. Each month you hop on for a lesson while Cari teaches from the Cole Vocal Method. The Cole Vocal Method works the source and provides solutions that other techniques miss.
Every V-YOU membership includes two live sessions with Cari each month, the Monthly Voice Mastermind and the Vocal Accelerator, in both The Studio and The Academy. When you enroll in a program like the Vocal Mastery Program or an Intensive, you get even more, with three live classes a month, including Masterclasses where Cari teaches the method and a monthly coaching call where she works directly with your voice. The deeper into the curriculum you go, the more live time you get.
Yes. All sessions are recorded for replay and are uploaded within 24 hours. We encourage participants to attend live when they can, but if you are in a different time zone or at work, you can watch the replays. For those who can’t attend Live, Cari will answer questions submitted ahead of time. Submit questions for upcoming classes at least 48 hours prior to info@caricole.com.
All questions are welcome. Most people ask about technique or how to solve issues or challenges with their voice. When your question is addressed, the whole room learns from it, and that is the power of the masterclass format. The best part is listening as questions will arise that you didn’t even know you had.
The Vocal Accelerator is a group vocal lesson teaching the broader audience a particular area of focus from the Cole Vocal Method each month. Participants get a customized lesson plan moving through V-You and specific questions pertaining to your voice can be discussed at the sessions.
The method is built for focused, consistent practice of about 20 minutes a day, five days a week. Many singers feel a difference in their tone and range within the first couple of weeks, and the deep, structural gains arrive over about six months of consistent work. Your time each week depends on your tier. The Studio asks for as little as two hours a month for classes, and once you enroll in a program you add its live classes plus daily practice. Every session is recorded, so if life happens you never fall behind. The more you put in, the faster the transformation
For decades, the vocal science behind world-class voices lived inside the operatic world. Trained in Dr. Edward J. Dwyer’s pioneering vocal science research, Cari Cole was the first to develop it into a complete Method translating the work for pop, rock, and commercial singers developing the biomechanical framework that makes the Cole Vocal Method stand out. The result is Grammy winners, chart-topping records, singers on The Voice and American Idol, and forty years of independent artists building careers that last.
Yes, the Cole Vocal Method is built for all genres. Because it is bio-mechanical in nature, it works with your instrument to improve your natural sound while strengthening and preserving your voice. Pop, rock, R&B, country, worship, musical theater, jazz, whatever you sing, the method builds the instrument and you bring the style.
No. Your style stays fully yours, and your sound improves. CVM strengthens your natural voice rather than replacing it. Just as an athlete trains strength and stamina to build on their natural gifts, the method improves the biomechanics of your instrument, bringing more tone, power, resonance, and freedom, while your timbre and style stay untouched but improved.
The Vocal Wellness Hub is included with both tiers, and it is one of the most loved parts of the membership. It brings together 40 years of Cari’s holistic voice care in one place, with natural remedies for the everyday challenges singers face, her trusted list of natural products, and her guidance on finding the right natural practitioners when you want expert care beyond the studio. It is a mix of resources and natural vocal remedies, and it lives alongside the rest of your member libraries. Everything here is educational, and it is always meant to support the care of a licensed physician rather than replace it.
Yes. Some singers prefer to work one on one, for scheduling or for focused attention on their own voice. Cari accepts a limited number of private students as well as VIP Private Programs when time opens up. You can learn more at caricole.com/#private-vip.
The certification is built on the Cole Vocal Method, which means you need to know the method from the inside out. The Vocal Mastery Program Level II is where you learn it live, with Cari, week by week, and the certification work runs alongside it. By the time you are certified, you have lived the method rather than only studied it
The only way to get certified to teach the Cole Vocal Method is to enroll in the Vocal Mastery Program with the adjunct Certification path.
Yes you need to be a singer, but you do not have to have previously taught. Certification is open to singers who have not taught or coaches who already teach. Prior teaching experience is not required, though it is highly recommended. This certification is designed for serious vocal coaches who are ready to take their practice to the highest level.
Most vocal coach certifications teach physiology or anatomy. The CVM Certification teaches the biomechanical science behind the technique, so you understand not only what to teach but why it works. Your students hit ceilings because that science was never available to their coaches, and the CVM Certification puts it in your hands. We know that real singers make better coaches, and your own growth is the key. No other certification is built on this lineage, this methodology, or this depth of vocal science.
Yes. Payment plans and extended financing are available. Pricing and payment options live on checkout pages that you click to from the sales page. Visit caricole.com/voice-youniversity for full details.
