A little about me:

Roberta Duchak is one of the most sought-after vocal coaches in Chicago and New York City, and the only Chicago-based Broadway vocal coach working consistently with Broadway performers, Tony Award winners, and top New York casting directors.

As a leading musical theatre vocal coach in Chicago, Roberta trains singers who are serious about pursuing careers in Broadway, national tours, television, and professional performance. Her students work directly at the highest levels of the industry and she is often the bridge connecting Chicago talent to New York casting opportunities.
