Marissa Rago Voice — Local services in New Providence

I started taking lessons with Marissa as a way to reconnect with my creative and musical side. As a mom with young kids, I really missed singing—something that had been a big part of my life when I was younger, performing on stage and in choirs in high school and college. Voice lessons felt like the perfect way to rediscover that part of myself, and my experience with Marissa has been absolutely amazing.

She’s warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The environment she creates is relaxed and welcoming, which made it easy for me to jump back in without pressure. Marissa is a great listener and has a real gift for observation—she quickly identifies techniques that suit my voice, while also encouraging me to trust what feels good and authentic to me. I love that she offers different ways to approach a goal, giving me room to explore and make choices.

She’s also helped me set meaningful vocal goals and has supported me every step of the way with encouragement, humor, and thoughtful questions that really help me stay engaged in the process. Lessons are always fun, sometimes challenging, but never intimidating. I’m loving my progress and genuinely look forward to...

Marissa is in a class of her own—knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly talented. She has an instinctive ability to pull the right exercises at the right time, drawing from her wealth of expertise. What sets her apart is her personalized approach—this is not a one-size-fits-all experience. She takes the time to truly understand you, your voice, and your essence, tailoring every lesson to your unique needs.

Since working with Marissa, my vocal improvement has been undeniable. My range has expanded dramatically, and I’m mastering my chest and head voice in ways I never thought possible—Broadway, is that you calling? She instills not just technique but also the belief that you can achieve your goals. I’m “almost there”!
