“John has an incredible gift at teaching the art of singing. He helped me understand the structure of the voice and the way it works, so that I could really use it, and stretch it beyond the limits I thought I had.”
– Mai Bloomfield, Raining Jane

“John has an amazing way of spotting the trouble and communicating the correct technique that applies to you, instantly.” – Paul Rivera

“John has a way of explaining vocal technique that really makes sense to me. He is patient and encouraging, and I always feel comfortable to take vocal risks with him. I have definitely felt my voice change for the better, as well as the way I think about singing. He has helped me increase my range and feel less strain when I'm trying to sing with power.” – Sara Bareilles

“I've worked with John for over ten years, and his voice lessons have helped immeasurably both my singing and my acting! I drive around singing along with the CD of my most recent lesson, which helps keep me centered and cool in Los Angeles traffic.” – Bill Moseley, Actor and Musician

“John Deaver rocks and he rolls! As a singer/songwriter one of the greatest things about working with John is that we get to work on my songs and hash through some of the more challenging melodies that really push my range. He also challenges me with harmonies and music theory. I give him all the credit for making me the singer that I am today!” – Ruby James

“I've experienced a very noticeable improvement in vocal ability as a result of taking lessons from John. My range, tonality and pitch have greatly improved in the past year due to taking lessons from him.”
