Over the past 30 years, we have helped thousands of artists build their careers. We show our artists the path and system to building a brand and career that people will want to follow. Each one of our programs handles a specific facet of the industry to build a music brand and career that has true style, power and impact.

30+ years. Cari started her voice studio in 1987. She then created the online artist development and career programs in 2007 as the music industry transitioned away from developing artists to provide those services for independent musicians.
Cari has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment. In addition to a rich roster of emerging and independent artists, she has worked with such legends as Courtney Love and the band Journey, Grammy winners Donald Fagen/Steely Dan and Chrisette Michele and award winning singer-songwriters like Diane Birch, Julian Velard, Rainsford (Rainey Qualley), and finalists & winners from American Idol and The Voice.
In most cases it’s not necessary. Cari teaches vocal technique, artist development and career consulting by Skype (or in person in New York.) She also conducts vocal arranging sessions and preps singers and artists for their records over Skype. In some circumstances, producers Skype Cari in to sessions during recording sessions. However, in certain cases she is available to travel given advance notice.
Cari has worked with students as young as 7, although generally young students come to her around the age of 11 on up. Most of Cari’s clientele ranges from 18 – 40ish.
Yes, we run them frequently throughout the year. Fill out your name and email on our Home page opt in here to get notification.
Yes. Cari has worked with artists on all major and independent labels or independent artists developing their own careers.
Although Cari does not traditionally manage artists, her methodologies serve as a management tool. By providing artists with the know-how to become industry ready, she bridges the gap between artist and manager and makes an artist appealing for management. As a result of working with Cari, many artists have signed deals with management, booking agents, record labels and licensing.
We have a variety of programs that begin at different times throughout the year. To see the schedule of upcoming programs click here. Programs & Circles are run primarily online.. Private sessions with Cari are held by Skype or in person at her studio in New York, NY.
You are responsible to pay for the Product in full (including all applicable sales and other taxes or fees) and for providing us with a valid credit card or other payment method. If you have selected a payment plan and you miss a payment, your account status will be changed to “delinquent.” You will immediately lose access to future Modules and Bonuses and your access to all Program content will be revoked 7 days after your payment declines. You will also not receive access to future versions of the Program as it’s released until all payments are made in full.
If your account remains in delinquent status for longer than 60 days, the Company reserves the right to report any delinquent balance owed to a credit reporting bureau and/or collections agency subject to the Company’s sole discretion until the account is caught up and in good standing.
To be clear, CCVM programs are not “pay in part” programs where you can pay only for access to certain Modules and not others. They are full immersion programs and your payment plan is a convenience that we offer so that you can make the price sustainable.
CCVM Refund Policy
At Cari Cole Voice & Music, our mission is to create products and services that support your growth as an artist. We hope you will be satisfied with your purchase and always welcome your feedback!
Our refund policy is as follows:
- We do not offer refunds on digital products or downloads.
- Vocal Workshops – You may request a refund to an upcoming Vocal Workshop up to 7 days before the start date of that workshop. Since this program is LIVE with Cari and the Team (not pre-recorded), we do not offer refunds. You have up to 7 days prior to the program start to withdraw. Any payments made up to that point are non-refundable as valuable content is delivered immediately upon registration.
- 3 and 6-month courses – We do not offer refunds on our 3 and 6-month courses for many reasons. These programs are LIVE (not automated). Valuable content is given out at registration and space is limited which it would not be fair to others in the community. If you are facing financial hardship, we ask that you contact our team so we can work out a payment plan for you.
If you have any additional questions or would like to request a refund, feel free to contact us.
