About Topher
I love working with Singers, Actors, Voice Over Artists, Public Speakers, and other performers of all ages and ability levels. I've worked with dozens of "tone deaf" students to help them develop their ability to sing, and frequently train teachers in working with singers who struggle. On the other hand, I have many professional students who are professional singers and performers and work on highly advanced technique. I have helped young kids land their first lead role in a school play, and I work with professionals featured on Netflix, Nickelodeon, Hulu, Amazon, and other major networks. My VO Students range from complete beginners buying their first microphone to seasoned professionals cast in major animation projects and AAA video games.
I always focus on enjoyment in the lesson, as the best learning happens when we're having fun. I also work hard to build confidence and stage presence. I prioritize proper vocal health to avoid voice damage for all my students.
For Actors, we focus on developing stage presence, learning short monologues and scenes, building audition skills, and developing their vocal/facial/physical expression.
My Public Speaking Coaching combines the best of insights from Singing and Acting lessons to help you unlock the power of your speaking voice. I can help you with Job Interviews, School Presentations, and even major Public Keynote Speeches, or just in improving your daily conversational speaking skills.
For Voice Actors studying Voiceover, I can help with navigating the wide and complex world of VO, sharing best practices from Animation, Video Games, Narration, Audiobooks, Corporate Training VO, and other opportunities. We also discuss improving audio quality by treating your space, selecting proper hardware and software, and approaching auditions and the "business" side of VO.
Singing is one of the most vulnerable things a human can do. Learning to sing confidently makes someone feel much better about themselves and can dramatically improve self-esteem. I love seeing the smile on a singer's face when something 'clicks' and they hear their voice in a new way.
When my Acting students connect deeply with a character/role and feel themselves reaching a new level of skill through our work together it's very rewarding. Many of my students have landed their first lead roles after our work together, and seeing a student I've coached go on to a starring role on stage is always a thrilling experience.
All the work I do is done through the lens of a lifecoach/mentor. I focus on habit formation, overcoming anxiety, and developing self-confidence in every subject I teach. My students come out of a coaching session feeling more in control and less stressed about the challenge of our work together.

I began teaching lessons to my friends in high school 20 years ago. After studying extensively in college I went on to teach in public and charter schools while building my Private Studio. I also tutor math and standardized test/SAT prep (I took the SAT's 7 times for fun as a kid) and tested into both MENSA and the Triple 9 Society.
I am a quarterfinalist for the Grammy Award for Educator of the Year.
My Bachelor's is in Vocal Music Education from the University of Maine. I Also studied the Kodaly Philosophy of Music Education in my Graduate work at the New England Conservatory in Boston.
I've been featured in a variety of Film/Television/Podcast projects, including MTV.
I have over a decade of experience teaching private lessons, school choirs, church choirs, musical theatre productions, and a variety of community choirs, in addition to professional work as a singer including solos with the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Tanglewood Festival Chorus

Perfect! Topher is absolutely amazing!! He tailors his teaching style to fit the way his students learn! He is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable, and is also a very kind and patient teacher!! HIGHIY RECOMMEND HIM!!!
Perfect! He is very professional but he is also very compassionate and kind and understanding with my stage fright or fear I have of singing in front of others putting my art out there where someone could like or hate it. Scary and he made me feel so comfortable. He knows his stuff and is wonderful at explaining and making sure you understand. So excited to see my improvement after working with him for awhile.
Perfect! Topher has a balance of friendliness and professionalism. He knows how to make you laugh and smile while also being straightforward when it comes to your singing and advice.
I never had a session without laughing and learning something new.
It’s been 4 sessions consecutively so far, and I plan to keep on working with Topher until I achieve my goals.
Thanks for making me a better singer, Topher!Perfect! Clear direction, great examples and analogies, very helpful feedback.

Topher Is absolutely incredible! I've had many music theory professors, audio/visual teachers, vocal coaches, etc throughout my life, and Topher Is BY FAR the BEST of all of them! He has become my One-Stop-Shop for ALL of my music related questions, and he replies quickly and promptly. I've also had in-person lessons with Topher, and he is very patient and understanding, and he customizes each lesson to how the student learns best. Like I said, Topher is absolutely incredible!! Worth EVERY penny! You will not be disappointed whatsoever.
Topher is a wonderful voice coach. He really cares about his students by providing feedback and homework to support their goals. If you're looking to start your vocal or acting journey, or just improve your craft, he's your coach.
Topher is an exceptional vocal coach. He has made such a difference in my performance skills, given me an excellent foundation in using my voice and helped me to be much more confident. Anyone can benefit from a session with him!
It’s hard to describe how lucky myself and my girlfriend feel that we have found Topher to work with. He delivers tons of value and insights every call that are communicated clearly for us to comprehend. Public speaking is apart of my career and my girlfriend is a singer/musician. Both of us have improved tremendously from Topher’s guidance and we HIGHLY recommend him!
Topher is an amazing coach! He is the coach for all coaches and my definitely Forever Coach! Thank you so much!
I can't say enough about Topher Keene. He's much more than a truly talented vocal coach and instructor. He couples his talent with genuine compassion and caring, and has a fabulous sense of humor. Topher also has strong family values which is reflected in the way he treats his many students. I would highly recommend Topher to anyone.
I really enjoy working with u. I learn something new every session.
I have been working with Topher for almost a year now and have tremendously grown as an artist. Topher creates a comfortable environment for you to learn and genuinely enjoy your craft. He focuses and alters the way he teaches for each of his students so that you can both enjoy and benefit from his instruction. Topher is one of the most professional people that I have worked with and will continue to work with.
I have had a wonderful time working with Topher. I feel like I learn something new every lesson! I highly recommend using his services!
TRULY TRANSFORMATIVE! My twin teenage daughters have always been introverts, rarely engaging in unnecessary conversation and answering most questions with a yes, no, or I don’t know. When school re-opened post-COVID shut-down, instead of seeing them excited about life getting back to “normal” with the start of their Senior year in high school, I was surprised by the amount of anxiety they experienced. They shared that they were embarrassed because during introductions and ice-breakers the teachers couldn’t hear them and would ask them to repeat themselves. I suppose for kids who do not enjoy being the center of attention, having the entire class focused on them, while they tried to speak through their masks, was just too much. I figured the perfect solution would be something like Toast Masters for Teenagers. In my search for an answer, I came across Topher Keene. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the transformation he has facilitated in my girls. After just one month, they were not only engaging with me at the dinner table, they were starting the conversations!!! They are more comfortable interacting with peers and adults (the Grandparents recently commented on how fun they had chatting with them over the holidays – which was a big change as they usually have their heads in a book or are watching YouTube). I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with their growth under Topher’s mentorship.
Topher has been extremely helpful to my daughter who was seeking acting lessons. He offers tips and provides feedback with each session. Hearing my daughter’s confidence grow as she works on what she loves gives me full confidence that Topher is helping her achieve her goals. We truly appreciate all that he offers!
Topher is a great coach who is very attentive and dedicated to my needs so I would recommend you to get him as your voice coach! You will surely make progress under his coaching.
COACH TOPHER IS EVERYTHING! Very caring and respectful. couldn’t ask for anyone else.
Topher is as genuine and authentic as they come. My daughter is six and that’s about as many seconds long as she pays attention. Topher always does a great job keeping her on task and focused while always being polite and courteous to her. I thought I was going to get away with taking her for lessons every other week but my daughter really looks forward to having her singing lesson with Topher every week! In the few months we’ve been going my daughters confidence and singing talent have expanded tremendously. I whole heartedly recommend Topher for any of your educator, musician, and mentor needs.
I've already released a couple of songs on spotify and youtube, and I came to Topher to get help polishing my vocals and improving my high notes. After just a few lessons, I can already feel my mix and head voice getting much clearer and easier, and I have way better stamina than I did before. He's the best!
Topher's coaching has helped me land my first role in a movie! Before I met him, I had no idea how auditions worked, I had never memorized a monologue, and I definitely didn't know what a slate was or how important it was. With his help, I feel like I can really make progress as an actor, and I can't wait to finally get on camera!
Topher is the first coach I ever worked with and he's taught me so much! Every week I feel like I learn something new about acting and get a deeper understanding of how to make it in this biz.
My son looks forward to his lessons with Topher each week. He used to get really nervous when he caught us listening to him sing, but now he puts on little concerts for us all the time and he's auditioning for his first Musical next month! We love Mr. Topher!
I've been taking Acting and Singing lessons with Topher for a few months now and it's been some of the most fun I've ever had with a coach. He's helped me nail a bunch of auditions and really build up my confidence. Highly recommended!
Topher has been an excellent Coach to work with. As a business owner and entrepreneur, it's important that I use my voice effectively and persuasively, and Topher has showed me wonderful tools to improve my communication skills. I'm already seeing an impact in my work. I recently had a presentation for a group of colleagues that went better than they ever have before! Thanks Topher!
Topher has been giving my 11 year old son voice lessons for a few months now and he has had a huge impact on my son's confidence. He is a dedicated teacher, who understands very well how to bring the best out of his student. My son always speaks very highly of him and I am glad I reached out to him here.
Topher is a master mind of a coach. He has numerous acting methods to get your brain working each session. I truly always look forward to and enjoy my sessions with Topher as I’m constantly learning something new and in such a short amount of time.
Topher never fails to amaze me and succeed in guiding me, improving my comfort ability and skills so far and I look forward to growing with his coaching more!
Thank you Topher!
Working with Topher is a great experience. He is a dedicated musician who not only enjoys what he does but he is also dedicated to his students successes.
Topher was amazing with my daughter who took voice lessons and also SAT prep with him. He is patient , kind, charismatic , fun, professional and effective.

Topher has be fabulous with my daughter. She's always dreamed of being an Actress and he as a great way of nurturing her passion while keeping her engaged. He's great with teens and I fully recommend him as a coach!
Topher is an excellent teacher. I came to him as an experienced instrumentalist who nonetheless still had some big problems with ear training and sight singing. Topher has been very good at diagnosing those deficiencies and giving me personalized exercises to even out my idiosyncratic imbalances.
Incredibly talented teacher and performer. His breadth and depth of knowledge is expansive and versatile, which is highly conducive to enhancing both the technical and artistic components of your vocalization skills. Interpersonally, he fosters a fun, flexible and laid back approach to teaching, and he provides consistent, formative feedback in a manner that is both constructive and motivating. Very fun to work with, and is sure to help you cultivate valuable skills applicable to any range of settings and contexts. Whether you are a business professional seeking to enhance your presentation skills, a musician seeking vocal guidance, an actor seeking to expand your vocal, expressive or tonal range, or an orator desiring to perfect your delivery, I strongly recommend Topher as a valuable resource to promoting your development and progression.
I've worked with Topher for several months now on both Singing and Acting and I've learned so much! His lessons are always fun and full of useful info, and every week I get new exercises to work on so I can really see my skills growing every time I see him. He's great to work with and I definitely recommend checking him out!
I have been working with Topher one on one for a little over a month now. He has been helping me tune and hone in on my acting skills. Topher actively looks for opportunities within me for growth, and I feel that he truly cares about my progress. Topher is truly an excellent teacher and I value and appreciate every lesson. He provides me with all of the tools to be successful, and instills in me a passion for acting.
Topher is very experienced in this field. He is respectful, knowledgeable, and supportive. He makes the lessons worth your time AND money! Every session he is ALWAYS prepared, supportive, and determined to make sure you get what you put in. I enjoy my classes with Topher and I know great opportunities will arise because of his teachings and support!
I’ve worked with different people in the past, and nobody has been able to help me in the way Topher has! his approach to teaching is incredible, especially if you’re a visual learner he finds ways to show you a sound should be taller or how it should be sang like and it perfectly translates in my brain. goes the extra mile and is genuinely interested in the musical projects outside the lessons. I've had such a. great experience that ive even brought my bandmates into a few lessons each!
My experience with Topher has been great! He helped me notice and work on aspects of my voice I wouldn't have been able to without his help. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience.
He is always positive and encouraging.My sessions with Topher have reawakened my love for the world of acting. Not only is he approachable and sincere, he is a true professional who injects so much passion and knowledge into his sessions. His energy, honesty and expertise make him a dream coach. Topher is worth every penny and I cannot recommend him enough to ANYONE-- of any age or level of experience.
I have taken acting and singing lessons with Topher, and watched him work with choirs and musicals. He is a fun, exciting, and warm teacher who students love working with! I've always had a great time learning from him. He is kind, friendly, and truly knows how to bring out the best in people. I have learned so much working with him!
Topher is an excellent coach, and I always have a great time when we're together. He keeps things fun and engaging but always leaves me thinking about something new after the lesson. I've really seen a lot of improvement since working with him!
All together I had a great time! He provided a lot of value and gave me a clear view on how to move forward with my skill. The time we worked together was very efficient. I connected with him very well and I’m excited to keep working with him!
My granddaughter loves taking voice lessons with Topher - he is engaging and patient. He shares his knowledge of music and arts to help her grow and has a wonderful way of combing learning with fun!!
Topher helped me become more confident in my voice. Our lessons are always fun and he's a wealth of knowledge. I wasn't sure if online lessons would be right for me at first but I ended up really loving it!
Topher was a great coach for my child. He always had fun at lessons and his voice got so much better, his confidence also greatly improved. He's started auditioning for musicals at his school and just got his first lead role!
I was blown away by the things you were saying - and feel as if Amanda learned in that one hour more than she's learned in a year of voice/piano!
I only wish we had known you a year ago!
Your enthusiasm, experience and passion are amazing!Topher is a wonderful teacher with a real gift for helping singers. I felt so much more confident in my voice after just one lesson.
