Lauren Chapman - Kinky Boots (Lauren u/s, Broadway & Nat'l tour)

"Michael's joy, passion, patience, and expertise helped prepare me for both auditioning and performing in the New York professional Musical Theatre world. The wide variety of genres and material we worked on allowed me to be ready for any type of audition--ranging from classical musical theatre to pop/rock. I knew exactly what was expected of me when I walked into the audition room. Though I am now based in NYC, Michael has continued to be a source of support and help from afar. Michael's knowledge and his ability to articulate that knowledge is what makes him so accessible, allowing you to reach your full potential as an artist. Michael is truly an invaluable resource and I feel so very lucky to have studied with him."

Jim Schubin - The Fantasticks (Matt, Off-Broadway); Lotte Lenya Int'l Competition Finalist; Solo cabaret show at the Metropolitan Room NYC

"Michael completely changed the way I sing.  When I first came to him, I was tense, my throat was constricted, and my voice tired quickly. After working with him, I felt as if I found my true voice and I now sing with ease. I cannot recommend him enough! An amazing friend and teacher."

Krista Buccelato - Phantom Of The Opera (Christine U/S, National Tour); Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby (Wendy, Nat'l Tour)

"As a singer I had come from a strictly classical background and struggled to find my voice (literally and figuratively) in the musical theatre world.  Michael knew how to harness and refine my skills in all the right ways.  I worked with him throughout my 4 years at Emerson, and with his help I was really able to explore new aspects of my voice that I was previously afraid to venture into.  His careful guidance really helped me to become a more versatile singer.  He's smart, funny, talented, and incredibly kind.  I'm so grateful to him for his patience and support over the years!"

Michael Niederer - Sight & Sound Theater, Lancaster Opera House, Princeton Opera Festival, Bucks County Playhouse 

"Michael is an excellent teacher who tries multiple ways to accomplish a teaching point and doesn't give up. I came from a classical background, so he was challenged with trying to get my voice up to current day musical theater standards. He pushed to make headway and eventually I got on the same page and was able to take off and learn. We formed a close bond and he was able to read me very well and knew when I needed to have a lesson that involved more teaching or a lesson that involved more singing. He attended almost all of my shows and gave feedback based upon what we had learned in our lessons. I am consistently employed in theater thanks to his passion, patience, expertise, drive and commitment."

Michelle Martinelli - Commonwealth Shakespeare, A.R.T./Oberon

"Michael's style is so versatile. He is just as agile and knowledgeable teaching pop music and its techniques, as musical theater and its proper vowels."

Jordan Gross - Barrington Stage Company, Park Playhouse

"Michael Kreutz is the best. His attention to detail is superb. Over the course of two years I was able to eliminate unhealthy singing habits, while developing proper technique in breathing, vowels & placement. What made us such a great pair was Michael's ability to bring a sense of joy & pride to our work."

Brock Bivens - Williamstown Theater Festival, The Public Theater

"Michael Kreutz is not only a fantastic voice teacher, but a genuine, wonderful person as well." 

Alexis Harter - Circa'21 Dinner Playhouse

"I thought I was a strong singer before working with Michael, but after almost three years working together my voice has strengthened and grown immensely. This transformation was due to Michael's emphasis on healthy technique and his clear expectations for what he wanted from me. Anybody would be lucky to work with him!"

Carolyn Meade - Virginia Rep Theater

"Michael was my first and only vocal coach. I haven't had a voice lesson in years, and directors still want to know "Who do you train with?!"."
