TESTIMONIALS:
"Not only is Hailey Clark one of the best sopranos of this age, but she is also a generous, kind, and insightful mentor. I've come to Ms. Clark looking for guidance several times over the years- from an individual voice lesson to a 'working in Europe' coaching session- and I've been met with care and thoughtfulness each time. After every conversation, I leave feeling inspired, excited, and enriched with invaluable knowledge. She has a remarkable gift for explaining complex technical singing concepts and demystifying the professional landscape abroad, making both feel clear and accessible. Her generosity has had a meaningful, lasting impact on the singing community, and those who work with her quickly understand why she’s so widely respected." - EMILY BLAIR, SOPRANO (Coaching Client, Voice Lesson)
“Professor Clark is so wonderful. There are simply not enough words to describe how amazing she has been this semester as a teacher and person. In Tech lessons working on breath, chest voice, legato, body connection, positive mindset and much more than I can list here has been so great. Also, the use of studio class, diverse repertoire, emphasis on constructive and positive feedback is immensely appreciated. Moreover, she has cultivated a community in the studio I have not seen before and it has brought smiles, laughter, and excitement. Also, Professor Clark has been one of the most kind, professional, caring, fun, and wise professors. Her encouragement, professionalism, work ethic, and care have been excellent." - ANONYMOUS, VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY (Voice Student)
"I worked with Hailey to learn more about auditioning in Europe. She provided practical, honest, and detailed insights regarding my website, audition package, resume, and biography. As I prepare to audition in Germany in the fall of 2025, I am immensely grateful for our consultation and for Hailey's words of wisdom. Not only is she knowledgeable and experienced, but perhaps most importantly, Hailey is kind and highly supportive. She is also available for follow-up questions after sessions, which I greatly appreciate." - SARA LEMESH, SOPRANO (Coaching Client)
"I had the immense privilege of meeting, observing, and working with Hailey during her debut as La Contessa at Palm Beach Opera. Singing is such a deeply personal art, and watching a professional perform at such an extraordinary level is profoundly impactful—especially when they share your voice type or are singing roles you dream of performing one day. Shadowing Hailey in this role was exactly that kind of experience for me. She not only welcomed my questions and generously shared her insights, but she also included me in her process. She made me feel like we were on the journey together—an experience I will never forget. In those few weeks, Hailey went the extra mile. She was more than just a prime example of masterful singing, she was a mentor to me in a way that will have a lasting, positive impact on both my artistry and my heart for the rest of my career.” -ALEXIS SEMINARIO, SOPRANO (Voice Lesson, Working in Europe Masterclass, PBO YAP)
"Hailey Clark's teaching method in a masterclass setting was very productive, direct and focused, while being respectful of my own process. She made the most of our limited time together, and I left our session inspired and excited to apply her advice in the practice room! Hailey was also very generous in offering me [solicited] career advice, and she was open to connecting me with her network. She was incredible to work with, both as a colleague on stage and as a guide for a young singer seeking counsel!" - MIA MANDINEAU, SOPRANO (Masterclass, SUNY-Fredonia)
