Cara’s expansive presence and indomitable energy make improvisational vocal work with her feel equally effortless and effervescent. She has a gift for holding safe space while coaxing fun and joy in learning. Her keen intuition allows her to guide students towards their freest, most expansive, and most unbridled selves. It is my honor to have had the opportunity of working with this gifted vocalist, creative teacher, and magnificent human being.

Cara brings such a joyful and soulful energy to this work. She is connected, curious and inclusive and creates a safe space for exploring and finding out what we are truly capable of doing. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from her.

Cara is a delight. She is so positive. As she led our group, she was easily able to see each individual while maintaining a sense of what the group as a whole might need. I loved that she brings her work with Ruth Zaporah into the Vocal River. Cara is a model of creativity and spontaneity. I look forward to working with her again!

"New to the Vocal River methodology and community, I am so grateful to have experienced Cara’s teaching and vocal leadership. She is joyful, creative and generous of spirit. She is silly and rigorous, fun and no nonsense, and brings so much love to the community and craft of improv singing. She made me feel totally welcome, inspired and daring in a way I have never felt before as a singer. I can’t wait to sing with her again."

"Cara is the kind of artist and teacher that gives you full permission to be your weird and wild, courageous and fully present, creative self. As a student, in her presence, it feels safe and exciting to step IN, to explore the unknown and to set yourself free. Cara has been a massive inspiration to me. She walks her talk. She is able to serve in such an authentic and free-spirited way because it is who she IS. She’s the kind of master teacher that will draw you out and lift you up with such a fearless ease that you’ll find yourself in places you didn’t even expect. She is the real deal. I am so glad to have learned and played with her."

"Cara's passion and skillful teaching approach have transformed my vocal abilities"
