At Empowered Voices with Kiki Deville, I am dedicated to nurturing vocal talent and vocal health with inclusive coaching.

​

With over 17 years of experience as a vocal coach, I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life—diverse in culture, identity, ability, and musical background. My approach is rooted in inclusivity, respect, and a deep belief that every voice not only deserves to be heard, but should be. Whether you're a complete beginner, a seasoned performer, or someone rediscovering your voice, my goal is to help you connect with your unique sound while keeping it healthy, strong, and clear. I create a safe, supportive space where we can explore your full vocal potential together, whether it be as a singer or a speaker - on your terms, at your pace.

 

For the first 15 years of my professional singing career, I was a session singer, and my job was often to sound like someone else. This left me with an identity crisis as a singer for a very long time as I really didnt know my voice. I also had a unique sound that didnt quite fit the mould. 

 

Once I began to write my own songs and find my own style, it became clear to me that a singers strength is truly held in knowing who they are and what they are capable of as a singer. To be great, you need to really know your voice! 

 

When I started coaching, I started with that as my ethos, that I would always help people find the strength in their own voice and help them explore the opportunities for improvement. 

 

For many of my younger years I suffered from vocal fatigue and hoarseness after shows, but after training and research, I began to thoroughly understand how the voice works, why we have problems with it, and how to fix those problems when they happen. I have become a "go-to" person for helping singers when their voices gave them issues. 

 

I believe in instilling confidence in people regarding their voice, and I do believe that everyone can sing, but more importantly, that they should. I take a physical approach as the voice is a muscle, and I feel that anyone who wants to use their voice, with help, can do so, regardless of physical limitations that may exist. It is all about finding ways outside the box to help you use your voice!

 

I truly believe that everyone has important stories to tell. That may be through song, public speaking, teaching or business, but they are all important. I also believe that to tell these stories, you need a strong, clear, healthy voice to do that. I am on a mission to make sure that you can always tell your stories.
