When I first met Richard Fink I just knew this method would be extraordinary! Throga truly reaches the depths of what we need to know about reaching our best vocal potential!

Richard's vocal coaching was second to none! After a 24 year absence from singing professionally, I needed to get ready for a reunion. Richard's Vocal Gym was truly the only way I was able to ready to perform.

Richard Fink IV has been our daughter's vocal coach since July 2019. Richard is truly an exceptional coach. He combines vocal science and a highly organized methodology (outlined in his '7 Dimensions of Singing' book) with a genuinely kind, caring, flexible and supportive approach. By building trust with his clients, he gives them a safe environment to develop their singing ability while also building their confidence to perform as a vocalist. At age 16 our daughter has successfully performed in several musicals, choruses, and has achieved nearly perfect scores as a vocal soloist in 2 New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) competitions. Richard Fink IV has been instrumental in all of these vocal accomplishments. I am confident she is performing at this level at this age because she is under Richard's tutelage.

A few years back I had vocal surgery to remove a granuloma on my vocal cords. After the surgery it was difficult to even talk. Richard took the time to understand what was happening with my voice and helped me to not only talk again but sing again! I highly recommend throga!

I’ve made tremendous improvement as a vocalist under the tutelage of Richard Fink IV. His book, 7 Dimensions of Singing The Throga Technique, is a comprehensive guide to understanding and improving your voice. The 7 dimensions are outlined in an accessible manner and explored from anatomical and practical perspectives. This holistic approach has deepened my connection to my voice and empowered me as a vocalist. The online “Vocal Gym” exercises continue to provide new challenges and opportunities for growth. More specifically, they provide the means to develop individual dimensions and in turn, find new ways to express myself as a vocalist and artist. Richard has been an irreplaceable figure in my journey as a vocalist and I am grateful for him as a teacher and mentor.

Richard Fink IV guides students in a way that encourages not only developing the voice, but also developing an understanding of the health of the voice and how the voice works. We've had a fantastic experience with lessons and in the Throga online Vocal Gym and Beyond the Gym courses.

Throga is the truth! I’ve been using Richard for many years and he has truly helped me discover a voice I didn’t know I had! His understanding of the voice and how to get the most out of each individuals voice is truly amazing!

I've been singing my whole life and have been through a few vocal instructors. While I appreciated each of them, I never went back more than a couple of times. Richard Fink IV as a coach is quite different. The way he explains things, really gets to know YOUR individual voice, and teaches you how to maintain a healthy, functional voice is everything. Understanding why and how we do the things we do is really important to growing. While dealing with allergies and acid reflux, using the techniques that The Vocal Gym has presented to me has made singing, playing shows, and even speaking easier. I'm really grateful to Richard for his knowledge and expertise. I'd recommend him to all singers, professional speakers and just anyone who wants to grow vocally in a healthy and consistent manner.
