Twenty years of teaching singers to trust their own voice.
Before Vicki Lee ever taught a lesson, she spent years on stage and in front of a camera — which is exactly why her students walk away able to actually perform, not just hit the right notes in a quiet room.
From the stage to the studio
"I don't teach a curriculum. I teach the voice that walks in the door."
— Vicki LeeVicki Lee has run Studio 105 Recording's vocal program in Jacksonville since 2004, working with everyone from beginners chasing their first solo to touring artists prepping for the road. Every new student starts the same way — an honest, unhurried assessment of where the voice is strong, where it's holding back, and how that person actually learns.
Long before she was teaching, Vicki was the one on stage. She performed across the Georgia rally circuit, appeared on the Ralph Emory Show, and spent years building a career in country music that put her in front of real, unforgiving audiences — the kind that don't clap just because you tried hard.
That difference shows up in the lessons. A lot of vocal coaching stops at technique: hit the note, hold the note, move on. Vicki's approach doesn't stop there, because a note held perfectly in a practice room means nothing if it falls apart the first time someone's actually watching. Breath control and range are the starting point — what she's really training is the nerve to walk on stage, or into a booth, and deliver.
She still performs today as The Vicki Lee Show, which means the coaching stays current — every note of advice comes from someone still doing the thing she's teaching, not someone who used to.
How two decades on stage became two decades of teaching
The short version of a much longer story — the details come out in the first lesson.
Cutting her teeth on real stages
Years of live performance across the Georgia rally circuit — the kind of rooms where a shaky voice gets found out fast, and where Vicki learned what separates a good singer from a good performer.
The Ralph Emory Show
A television appearance that put her in front of a national audience and sharpened everything she'd been building on smaller stages.
Launching the vocal program at Studio 105
Vicki began teaching out of Studio 105 Recording in Jacksonville, building a coaching style around the same honesty and stage-readiness that shaped her own performing career.
Still performing, still teaching
Vicki continues to perform country music as The Vicki Lee Show, while teaching in-studio and online students of every level — from a first lesson to a professional demo.
A teaching philosophy built on stage time, not just theory
Every voice is different
No generic curriculum. Your plan is built around your range, your genre, and how you actually learn.
Technique before repertoire
Breath support and control come first, so the fixes actually stick instead of falling apart under pressure.
Honest feedback, always
Specific, direct notes — not empty praise. You'll always know exactly what to work on next.
Built for the stage
Performance nerve is trained like any other skill — because a great voice with stage fright never gets heard.
On stage, in the booth, and in the lesson
