Hi,
I’m Claire.
Singer, expert coach trusted by top agents, vocal producer, animal lover, insane foodie and unshakeable optimist, dedicated to helping you reach your greatest potential as a singer. To help you really “make it.”
About Claire
Claire Hosterman is an international singing coach who teaches students from all over the world.
Her clients have appeared on The Voice and American Idol, on Broadway, and in major films and TV shows such as Songland, Modern Family, Shameless, and on Netflix, Nickelodeon, Disney and more.
Clients range from students who have never sung before to singers sent by agents and studios for training. She also works directly in recording studios, helping to fine-tune performers between takes, and help translate the producers’ visions to the vocal artists.
Claire has studied voice for over 15 years — in Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, and Paris. She has helped thousands of singers learn to navigate all styles of singing (Pop, Rock, Musical Theatre, R&B and Opera) while keeping their voices strong and healthy. Claire is the sister of Emmy-Award-Winning actress and singer Dove Cameron, and daughter of acting career consultant Bonnie J. Wallace, founder of Hometown to Hollywood.
A surgical striker who gets results FAST
“Claire is a voice doctor. She’s a surgical striker who gets you results FAST. In only a few short lessons, Claire helped me get a callback for Burr in the touring Broadway show, Hamilton. She even taught me to rap better!”
— Cole, New York
Coaching with Claire
Claire is my vocal shaman
“The difference between Claire and a regular ‘singing teacher’ is that she not only has the top techniques out there, but also applies this intuitive, energetic, mental and emotional aspect. I spent years with another teacher with good techniques, but I wasn’t able to get past my energetic blocks (which I didn’t know existed). Claire is my vocal shaman, lol!”
— Erika, Los Angeles
Technique.
The right vocal technique is everything, and you can waste years and years and thousands of dollars pursuing the wrong singing technique.
By investing in yourself with the right teacher, you can become part of the elite singers who know the top secrets and methods that aren’t taught anywhere else.
Getting famous these days is easy; lasting and enduring in a world where your voice is constantly being pushed to the limit isn’t. You want a voice that doesn’t just book the job and turn heads, but lasts. You need to know proven methods to activate your “IT Factor,” unlocking the potential that’s already inside you.
Start your journey toward unshakable vocal health, superior technique and a lifetime of confidence.
Hi, I’m Claire Hosterman
I coach singers of all levels to bring their voices to the next level.
I am known in the industry for using a unique combination of top exercises I have learned from teachers around the world, while being a pioneer in my own right, using brand new approaches that have transformed the way my students view singing.
I also teach middle voice, which is neglected by most teachers, who still only teach chest and head voice. True middle voice allows you to sing using your face, helping you to bounce the sound off of the tiny caves and bones of your face, instead of using your throat to sing.
Most people sing using their throat and haven’t been trained to aim the sound into these hollow caverns in the face, which allows you to sing 100 times louder, much higher and with power, resonance, ease and emotion. (Sadly, many students who believe they have been “taught” middle voice still injure their voices and get nodes — like Adele, Megan Trainor and Demi Lovato — as they are often taught basic and common-place exercises.)
I teach middle voice the way I believe it’s meant to be taught, which can be viewed in many of my Instagram video tutorials.
I would love to help you bring your voice to the next level. Sign up for singing lessons today and start your journey to becoming a truly elite singer!

To the Mother who said, “Yes” to having me while on a phone call with my Dad in New York (she found out that I was a “surprise” pregnancy, and has always told me that I was the “best surprise” ever since 🥰): I LOVE YOU more than all the atoms and star dust that brought us together. Thank you for birthing Chloe and I into this lifetime, and for letting us be whoever we are, at any given moment. Your permission for us to be ALL of who we are, and to love us fiercely and demand only that we stay loyal to our innermost truth is why I think that you are the best mother that anyone could have (my best friends growing up all agree!). Even when we were being total “beasts”, as you would call us when @dovecameron and I were having a sister squabble, and were getting on your last nerve (you’ve put up with our “Beastliness”—and continue to! 👹—which is what a mother does 😂). Thank you for continuing to nurture all of our incarnations. We love you so much 🔥🌙🌸🌷🌺🌞✨🌻
Many people ask me, “How do I get MOTIVATED to practice singing? Does motivation just ‘happen’?” 🙄🪴
In my case (and in many profession singers’ cases), 🎤🌞 motivation often begins with ACTION towards doing the thing you’ve committed to doing (in this case: practicing your daily singing routine). I’m often not enthusiastic to practice in the beginning, 🤪 and so I need to just start with the ACTION, and then this gathers MOMENTUM and INSPIRATION, which leads to MOTIVATION. 👏🏼 🌈
Seems so easy, but can be so hard to start, right? Just begin with a simple action, like setting a timer for 10 minutes to practice your singing. ⏰ After about 5 minutes, you may start to feel some excitement and momentum growing 🤓and then after ten minutes you are likely feeling more motivated to continue your singing! 🥳
I do this with things like cleaning my closet or a part of my house: I’ll just do ten minutes worth of the chore and soon I’m PUMPED, and I continue. 🌺💕
Try this simple MOTIVATIONAL trick out today with your singing routine and let me know how it goes in the comments below! 😎🌻✨

Many people ask, “Why is it more expensive to work with a MASTER singing teacher?”
Great question! Why do we pay doctors so much money? 💰 💵
Because they put in years and years in their craft and we trust them to get the results we need within minutes. ⏰
Would you trust a surgeon who had only studied two years in medical school? 😳 No. We’d want them to have studied all the years and gone to ALL the schools!
A top singing teacher has likely studied as long as it takes to become a surgeon (sometimes 2-3x LONGER!) and can help singers get the results they need within MINUTES. In comparison, many beginner singing teachers (who may have a bachelor in music from a college, but don’t have a lot of training in vocal mastery) may have a lot of information of the BASICS of singing, but cannot deliver fast results in the same way.
It’s all about how much you want to invest 🌈 in ☀️ yourself 💕 ✨
Working with a beginner teacher may be much cheaper, but it will likely take you YEARS to get to where you want to be, versus a master coach who can get you there in a fraction of the time. 👏🏼

LOVE Skype singing lessons with my student, Callie! (And love, even more, that we both had a stash of #gretherspastilles in our singer cabinets 😂). They’re fantastic for keeping the voice and cords moist, and I recommend them for every singer. You can find them on Amazon today! (This is not an ad—they’re just a staple for so many pro-singers that I had to share!) 🎤✨

Happiest Birthday to my Goddess-Mother of the Universe 🌚✨🌌
I’m so indescribably happy that you’ve found deep, soul-filling, heart-healing love, and to see you opening (flowering) into this next chapter. Every second with you is my favorite. There’s no place I’d rather be 💖💖💖 Even sitting in silence with you is like a balm of wisdom for my soul—I always learn SO much from you. I am so grateful and excited that we are all about to be able to HUG (vaccine countdown!) and cook, read, be together indoors and go on adventures and travel again. To have someone in this lifetime who understands me to the depths of my soul is the greatest gift. I feel so seen by you and @dovecameron. I love you beyond star dust, owls and pussycats, and long rides in the car listening to Jill Sobule and drinking butterscotch milkshakes. 🌸🦋
Love forever,
Your Clairie
Dear singers, I bet you’ve made this common mistake (like I have): you’ve obsessed and worried about how the song is SOUNDING to your ears, versus doing this ONE CRUCIAL thing: simply allowing yourself to FEEL the vibrations hitting your face, head and body. As you may know, the way I teach singing is by aiming the sound in the face (instead of pushing from the throat, as so many other teachers do 😞). It’s actually crucial that we stop judging our voices based on how it SOUNDS, and start focusing on the VIBRATIONS that are hitting our body and face while we sing. If you only focus on how your voice SOUNDS, you will miss out on important pieces of information such as:
1.) Is this an actually HEALTHY technique?
2.) Am I using my maximum amount of power and vocal control?
3.) Does this even FEEL good?
Imagine if you could learn to approach singing like a bat does with sonar: feeling where you are AIMING the sound, instead of relying on your ears. I always tell my students: I have gotten to the point of my singing education to where—if I had to sing with earplugs and I couldn’t hear myself—I would STILL know with 100% accuracy that my singing was on key and using the maximum effectiveness of depth and power.
How do you feel about this? Have you learned to practice your singing based on FEELING the vibrations that bounce off your face, head and body—or are you judging your singing only based on how it sounds (which is very normal and was me in the beginning!)? Drop a comment below and let me know! Share with a friend who needs to hear this 💖

On this day of Easter/Ostara (in the Pagan religion, celebrating the goddess, Eostre), I want to celebrate the renewal and rebirth that my sister @dovecameron has given to herself as she sheds old parts of herself and transforms heartbreak into powerful self-love and alchemizing truth. My interpretation of her song (which is based on a breakup) is about realizing that life and the universe is happening FOR us (and not TO us) and seeing that even the most “terrible” things usually contain a gift inside: loving yourself even harder and deeper, and only letting in the people who deserve your vulnerability. THANK YOU, Chlo, for birthing this masterpiece! Happy Easter/Ostara to all of my goddesses! 🐣🐰
Does 45-60 mins a day of vocal practice seem like a lot to you? Many people tell me that they want to be the next Dua Lipa or Ariana Grande, but when I tell them how much much work these singers put in, in order to get to where they are now, many people just roll their eyes and say, “But do I really need to work THAT hard?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YES. And this is the difference between those singers who put in the months and years on their craft, versus the people who think that a career in singing “looks fun” on the outside, without fully understanding (or even wanting! 😅) the work that it takes to get there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YOU CAN have a successful singing career, but it’s going to take what 99.9% of most people aren’t willing to give: their time, commitment, risk, belief in themselves and a steady drive that guides them through the ups and downs of the industry. Having a sister, @dovecameron, who has spent much time in both the music and tv/film industry, I have seen what it takes to become a successful singer, and the very foundation (before all else) that you need is DRIVE. If you are not driven, then it doesn’t matter how much talent you may have: you need a constant momentum pushing you forward. For example, I was/am very talented and studied in many places around the world to become an actor and opera singer, but I learned that I don’t have very much drive and would rather have a more balanced life (that wasn’t at the constant whims of the ever-changing industry! 😅).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think of this? Are you someone who wants a career in singing? On a scale of 1-10, what is your level of “drive”? Mine is about a level 3, which is why I never went for a career, myself. Let me know in the comments below 💖

Sunday reflections 🌈🌻🦋😍✨ Whether you practiced singing 1 day or 6 days this past week (or zero days! 😂), it’s good to focus on small wins you’ve made, to help propel and inspire you into next week. Praising and celebrating your “wins” is far more productive than beating yourself up for what you didn’t do (and you’re much more likely to KEEP those habits/routines when you’re gentle and positive with yourself). Share below 👇🏼 what your singing “wins” for this part week are!

Why did Adele have 3 vocal surgeries? Did she have a bad singing technique? Actually, Adele did so many things right as a singer, but it was often the LITTLE things that she did incorrectly that later turned into into BIG problems for her voice, causing long-term damage. You want a technique that also focuses on the small, crucial facets of singing that many teachers don’t teach (such as aiming the sound in specific points in the head and face; mindset; breathing from the entire body and not just the “diaphragm”... and so much more)—and not just the basic, obvious parts, such as “chest and head voice.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The world of singing is changing. We can’t just depend on a technique that was invented 200 years ago, because music had changed and the demand on our voices have, as well. Gone are the days when we just had a “chest voice” and “head voice”—we must grow and evolve, and so must our singing technique. Begin your singing journey today and SAY YES to yourself by clicking the link my bio ☝🏼🥰💖 I would love to teach you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
