Testimonials
I am searching for the words to describe an experience that can’t be limited to words. First off I would just like to start by thanking the Goddess herself Rush Dorsett, for holding such a beautiful and safe space. I felt very open and free to be myself the whole entire course right off the get go.
The breakthroughs that I have seen and felt because of this course are very many. I truly began to love my voice and tap into my own authentic and unique sound. My freestyling and flow became easier and more aligned to what my intention was to say in the first place. I finally started feeling safe to be seen not only myself but others. I found structure in my craft and learned how to take a rush, hehe pun intended, of inspiration and follow through with it til I finished. I finished writing two songs during that time when I never finished a song before. I fell in love with my music and learned that it isn’t even about others. Our voice is an instrument for healing and through my own voice I healed more parts of myself and my life.
My favorite parts of the course was aligning the chakras with our voice and attuning different energies based on a certain chakra. That was very intriguing to learn. I also have to say the masterclasses when everyone shared what they were working on. I loved sharing and I also loved hearing everyone’s own unique sound.
I would have liked to have had more meditation, it was lovely to have during the course because it really helped me see my own blocks and what I wanted to create instead.
If you are thinking about joining this course I would say GO FOR IT!! It is amazing it helped me out of my little shell so much and I have learned so much to help me be a better singer, rapper and stronger empowered voice all around! Rush is amazing and I wouldn’t want to do this journey with anyone else.
I feel that this class empowered my voice in exponential ways. I am more open and vulnerable yet strong and grounded. I have some amazing tools that I will take with me wherever my voice may lead me!
-Maggie L.
The course was a very rich experience vocally, emotionally and spiritually for me. I came away with much clearer ideas about how I want to integrate music and singing into my life, and what I need to work on to accomplish my goals.
-Christine F.
I’ve always wanted to sing but struggled for years trying to get my voice to come out. No matter what I did, my voice felt trapped, meek and not ‘good enough’. I almost gave up thinking that, although I dreamed of singing, it might not be for me.
But when I met Rush, everything changed! She taught me techniques that helped me release my voice through the chakras while honouring my feelings and authentic self.
Most of all, Rush made me see that singing is my birth right and a very important part of me.
Thanks to our lessons, I began to feel more comfortable expressing myself through singing and my voice started doing things that I never thought it could do! Rush weaves a safe, non-judgmental space and has an amazing way of feeling into what someone needs in order to support them in the best way possible. She has been particularly compassionate during my many moments of self-doubt and performance anxiety. Thank you so much, Rush. I have found so much healing and freedom working with you.
I will be eternally grateful <3 xxx

Rush is a masterful teacher.
She presents vocal techniques in an organized way and at a perfect pace. She is extremely warm, kind, encouraging, and accepting of all levels of students.
Truthfully, I cannot imagine a better teacher.
-Sheridan A.
“My experience with awakening my voice has been mind blowing.
I am a singer songwriter. I have always felt musically inclined, but unable to fully breakthrough and keep up with my peers in the industry. It has been so exciting to have tools that have broken me out of this and shown me how truly powerful I am not only as a performer, but also as a human being. I am now starting to record my first E.P and being on stage feels something I am looking forward to more and more every week. Rush is an amazing teacher and guide and could not recommend sessions more with her.
You’ll never feel judgement and your voice is going to really change and amaze you”
– Kelly I.
“This class is life, as well as voice transforming.”
“Studying with Rush has been life changing. As soon as I saw the EV curriculum, I knew it was the program I had been looking for my entire life! I knew that I absolutely had to be a part of this. I couldn’t be happier with both the process and the results.
In addition to a remarkable improvement in every aspect of my voice, it provided me an opportunity to reclaim my body from childhood trauma. I learned to bring all of who I am and to express myself even more fully than ever through my voice.
I am thrilled with my new, more liberated vocal expression and highly recommend this course. Sign up now! You will be so happy you did!”
– Cindie A.
I am deeply grateful for the nine month journey with an intimate female circle led by Rush as she not only imparted the integrative principles of the Embodied Vocal Academy program but also held space for our individual vocal growth, unique challenges and spiritual deepening.
The process allowed me to approach my voice as not just an athletic performative instrument but from a holistic perspective that is deeply healing and nurturing, encouraging a grounded and supported presence that invites relaxation and spacious openness for the resonance to flow through. Rush helped me with unlearning previous unhealthy patterns of throat area constriction which was crucial in order for me to continue singing with ease and joy.
Not only did I learn useful techniques for the health of my voice as well as fresh ways to expressively and artistically interpret songs from a variety of genres but I appreciate how the program gave healing room to honor the real life circumstances that can affect the voice and creativity. It was amazing to see how Rush was able to skillfully weave in specific chakras and corresponding yoga poses, certain sounds, breath and spiritual concepts to address whatever issues I was undergoing.
And to observe how certain attitudinal patterns of behavior and thinking surfaced that no longer served and required relinquishing.
What was also very special was the camraderie and connections created with the other ladies over the nine month period. In fact, I was able to collaborate with one of them in creating and completing my first original song! To have been given a safe, encouraging creative space to accomplish this has truly inspired courage in me to pursue a lifelong dream to create an album of original music that speaks to my authenticity.
I have come away from this program with a deeper ownership of my voice and in who I am, empowered by embodying sound as medicine.

“I feel confident that working with Rush Dorsett will allow me to achieve all of these goals and more.”
“I have loved singing all of my life, and have taken part in various choirs for most of that time but I only started taking voice lessons over the past few years. My goal today revolves around being able to have fun with my voice. I want to feel free in my self-expression and even find my own style rather than assign myself to a particular one (especially if I have a sound that no one else has shared before) before attempting my larger goal of singing professionally.”
“I have had a handful of vocal coaches over the past few years, and none of them train the way Rush does. Her combination of vocal exercises, physical and energetic connection with the body, and spiritual intuition not only helps me develop a deeper relationship with my voice, it is also empowering me to express myself more authentically in all areas of my life. Over the years I have developed a certain level of trust in my inner voice and have overcome some self-doubt and fear of speaking up for myself. Training with Rush speeds up that process and helps me move beyond my edge again and again.”
“Even though our lessons are virtual, Rush demonstrates a natural ability to create space for me to hold myself, my voice, and my natural gifts as sacred. This helps me stretch beyond my comfort zone without feeling ashamed, judged, or afraid of making a mistake. I am even able to tell her when I have intrusive thoughts about my abilities or the quality of my voice, and she helps me move beyond them to a new level of self-mastery.”
“There is a delicate balance of guidance and holding space that she achieves with an air of grace and ease, and I am grateful for the progress I have seen after working with her for just a few short months. I love the opportunity to play, to let go of things that are weighing me down (like self-doubt, stuck and stagnant energy, and even just the negativity of the day), and to increase my ability to flow effortlessly. Sometimes my lessons with Rush are the most movement my body gets all day and it feels AMAZING. I feel that anyone who wants to free their voice or be more authentic in their self-expression – for whatever reason you can imagine – will benefit from training with Rush if you are committed to that goal.”
– Melissa R.
“Rush has helped me in owning my voice on the deepest levels.”
“I have noticed many shifts within myself since working with her, the most important one being understanding and honoring my power instead of running from it. She helped me to go deep and release fears both consciously and subconsciously. I am able to stand in my truth and speak my truth more confidently. I feel seen, hear and understood by Rush more than anyone I have ever worked with. She is so present in each session and gave me the space and full support to fully express myself.”
— Arika K.
“I now speak from an embodied place and with an active awareness.”
“I found Rush the moment I decided to get real with my voice. Since working with her I am more comfortable expressing myself. I used to feel shy and never wanted to speak of be vocal — and now it all feels different for me. Rush helped me many times with my emotional concerns while speaking and expressing myself. I am now able to do my own live events where before I would not even consider it! Rush is super present in our sessions and we have the right mix of what I need. She has a 6th sense. My body is happier and breaks out in song all the time.”
“Working with Rush has been an amazing and opening experience for my voice and self-confidence. I sing to everyone now. I wish I had started this work when I was younger, but I’ve learned it’s never too late. I’ve learned that singing is not about the words; it is the emotion behind the words. Rush knows how to bring this forward from you.”
— Isabel C.
“I can’t say enough about how much working with Rush has impacted my life. She was an incredible support through a profoundly transformational time in my life. During my time working with her, I left a career that wasn’t in my highest alignment, learned to stand up for what I believe in and began my journey into an authentic life. With Rush there cheering me on, I was able to truly find my voice.”
“I felt deeply seen and understood by Rush in a way that allowed me to see myself with deep love and accountability. She opened up new perspectives and introduced me to avenues of healing and creative expression that I didn’t know existed before working with her. If you are on a personal development journey and looking to embody your true voice, and have the opportunity to work with Rush, I highly recommend it.”
— Mari G.
“Working with Rush has awoken a spiritual journey within me. I love how she provides customized tools and daily practices to ensure that my personal vision and goals become realized. He powerful connection to Source makes me feel so supported as she cheers me on and keeps me lifted in light. Since working with Rush, I have seen a shift in my accountability, commitment, and life.”
“Because Rush helps me clarify my vision, I am constantly celebrating manifestations coming to fruition. For example, she created an emotional cultivation mediation for me to dream up my ideal job, had me list the details of what I wanted, and then, exactly a month later, I was offered the exact job I had envisioned. Rush is remarkably intuitive and empathetic so I really feel that she is in tune with me in our sessions. She generously keeps in touch in between sessions and truly goes above and beyond to support her clients.”
— Hunter T.
“The lessons are full of Magic and flow.”
“I came to Rush wanting to heal and open my throat chakra. Immediately, Rush made me feel the most comfortable I have ever felt singing and expressing my authentic voice. I was guided to find spaces in my field that I had never explored before. There were so many breakthroughs. The opening and expansion was like finding brand new rooms in a house. Upon completion, I signed up for Toastmasters to begin my journey with public speaking.”
