“What could someone say about David Coury that hasn’t already been said? Kind, creative, generous? That only scratches the surface of this truly amazing man. I was happy yet nervous when I was first accepted into David’s class. My fears were put to rest after the first lesson. He is a wizard. He passed along his secret tools to successfully open my voice and take my gift to higher levels I never thought possible. His psychological approach is that of a spiritual nature not only to the voice but to the soul and heart as well. David is not only a vocal coach, but also a living, breathing performer’s guide to perfecting one’s stage performance. It is true what they say: When you come out of a David Coury class you start working! I am truly thrilled and honored to be his student."

Recently named a "Mover & Shaker" by leading self-help and transformational publisher Hay House, David's unique combining and application of the physical voice with the metaphysical voice is helping so many make a greater impact in the world. Of his many television appearances, David still cites the episode on ABC's original Extreme Makeover that featured his staggering transformation of a young rapper with a severe cleft-palate. "Everyone - no matter what their field or background - everyone wants to make a difference, everyone wants to feel confident," says David. "The voice, ultimately, can and will reflect who-you-really-are."
David holds a B.A. in Communications and Theatre from Rhode Island College and is the recipient of the Musicians Institute's "Heal L.A. Through Music" award.
