"I've done one month with her so far and start my second month this week. I am normally someone who is terrified to sing infront of anyone, but she makes it a very safe and welcoming environment. I have really enjoyed my lessons and can't wait to continue them! Highly suggest taking lessons from her."

"In a word, Johanna is amazing!
I've been playing guitar for many years and have always wanted to accompany myself by singing but never felt comfortable with my voice (except for occasional backup singing). I started interviewing local voice instructors, and was disappointed to find that most were basically non-professional singers who provide either opera and/or choral type lessons. They weren't very passionate, and ironically enough, they all sounded similar. Their voices did not move me. I decided to go online and purchase DVD lessons. Although the instructors were good, the lessons were too generic. I knew I was doing certain things incorrectly, and the DVD lessons couldn't help with that. I needed personal hands-on instruction. I stumbled across the Thumbtack site and found Johanna. On the initial phone call, I was impressed with her professionalism, and the passion she had towards singing. I explained that I wanted a teacher that was honest and would tell me when I was doing something wrong. None of that Oh you sound wonderful (even when I don't), nonsense. I don't subscribe to the kind of instruction that instills false confidence. It needs to be honest otherwise it's useless IMHO.
I almost walked out of my first lesson when I heard her sing. She is THAT good. I actually consider her to be one of my favorite female vocalists. She is also an accomplished pianist. Johanna has a way of pulling things out of me that I didn't realize were there. She is tactful, but also a very direct teacher. She instills true confidence. I used to have a whiny singing voice due to improper technique. Now my voice feels like an instrument that I can use to create music with. I have moments where I sing and think, Wow, was that me? It's pretty awesome! And this is after less than a year of training. I plan on continuing lessons for a while. If you want to be taught by a world-class vocal instructor, give Johanna a call. She will take your voice wherever you want it to go. The icing on the cake is that Johanna is a wonderful, friendly, and fun loving person."

"I was really nervous and unsure of myself and my abilities; inspite of all of that Johanna has made me feel at home and comfortable. We laugh and sing...it's a great time. Worth every penny."

"Johanna is GREAT! She's very professional and considerate. As a beginner, I could always learn more each time I go to see her, and she's rocked my voice on every level. I do look forward going to her lovely studio soon again."

"OMG!!! Johanna is a great vocal coach!!! Very professional, very nice, and she knows what she is doing! She has increased my range, and now I working on singing Bruno Mars songs! I learn something new about singing - and about myself - each time I see her. You would be a fool to pass her by!!!"

"I had a great experience working with JB Vocal Studios. She really helped take my voice to the next level and had me singing songs I never thought possible for my range."

"My experience has been nothing but positive with JB Vocal Studios! Three years ago I had vocal issues that were solved through doctors and Johanna. She has given me tools to work with to strengthen my voice and to not loose it! I would refer her to anyone that wants to better their range, learn ways to breath better and all around be a better singer! Instead of letting the doctors start cutting on your vocal chords...please seek the professional coach Johanna! I came from a chronic cough and a constant raspy voice to singing every weekend with a six piece band and never loosing my voice!
Johanna has also worked with my fourteen year old daughter. My daughter started to get stage fright and loose her confidence. Johanna has pulled something out of her that I, or even our musical family has not been able to do! She has heard a voice that she knew she had, and just did not know how to project it! Johanna's approach is so easy and laid back that you will feel comfortable as soon as you meet her. A lady of few words, but a lasting impression. She is a class act and Raleigh should be so proud to have her! I know we are!"

"Voice lessons with Johanna are a real treat! Johanna focuses on your specific needs - and makes CD's of your lessons, with you singing and her playing keyboards. It makes practicing more fun - and you will be able to hear your progress! Plus, she sings/plays locally, which is great inspiration!"

"I came to Johanna after working with three different voice teachers in the Raleigh area. I wish I had started with her, rather than wasting all that time and money with the others. She has helped me make my voice stronger and more flexible. I am a beginner-to-intermediate singer; she helped me find correct placement and achieve the resonance I had been missing. She's a terrific teacher with a solid knowledge of how the voice works. She's also patient, and has a great sense of humor, which helps when I get nervous about doing a tough song!"

"I am an "older" (only 32!) student with some professional training, but wanted to get my voice back in shape and start singing again from a long break. I was only able to work with Johanna for about 6 months due to becoming pregnant.
In that time, not only did I build confidence, range, and strength, but she became a friend. Johanna is experienced and a professional. She pushed me to try songs that I didn't think I could sing. She helped me out of my comfort zone, and though I cracked up and laughed at how silly I sounded at times, it is just what a I needed to come out of my shell.  
Although I still have work to do, she helped me find my passion for singing again and my voice has improved tremendously, even in just 6 months.
Just listen to her sing and you will know you are in good hands! I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their voice and confidence."

"When I stepped into my first lesson with Johanna, I will admit, I was a skeptic. I had been singing at a moderate to high level for the past 10 years and thought "what good can this really do?!" Hadn't I alreadly learned everything I needed to know? Boy was I ever wrong... When I left my lesson on that first day, I knew that she was going to help me explore areas of my voice that I never dreamed possible. Together, we have worked on my problem areas and I have already seen a huge difference in my sound. And so have others! I can't count the number of people who have noticed the improvement in my singing and asked me what I did to get better. Every time, without hesitation, I tell them that Johanna Boberg of JB Vocal Studios is my vocal teacher and suggest that they take lessons with her if they want to maximize the quality and strength of their voice. She is an amazingly talented woman and a great teacher that makes learning proper technique fun! If you are serious about singing and want to be the best that you can be, take your lessons from JB Vocal Studios. She will help you reach heights that you never thought were possible!"
