Testimonials!

Evan Patrick

Lead of Quartet Linc 182 and Director of Youth in Harmony in The Illinois District.

"Being a trained actor with roots in barbershop allows Dan to quickly assess where a group’s performance strengths and weaknesses are. From there he finds fun and easy ways to accentuate those strengths and shore up any weaknesses in ways that are simple to understand so that you can better connect with an audience. Any quartet or chorus would be lucky to have him as a coach."

B Rauch

Director of Vocal Confluence. Award-winning a Acapella group in Pittsburgh.

“Dan has a real gift for helping ensembles to escape the technical mindset and bring their most authentic self to the stage. His passion is infectious and he has an easy, relatable way of explaining things that resonates with singers of all levels, making for fun, engaging sessions that create a supportive atmosphere to encourage risk taking. Every coaching session with Dan raises the standard for excellence in Vocal Confluence.”

Gabriel Spector

Bass of Smoke Ring Quartet, 2025 Harmony Sweepstakes National Champions, and top 10 BHS International Competitor.

"Dan has a knack for putting an ensemble at ease in order to allow for playful exploration, even with emotionally intense repertoire. His in-depth knowledge of acting technique and genuine enthusiasm for barbershop specifically (and music and performance more broadly) make it very easy to find new and exciting choices with any kind of material under his guidance. He excels at finding solid ground for new songs, and bring new life to tired mainstays."
