Noel Smith is a master voice teacher, recording artist, and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in musical theater, pop, and classical voice. She is the founder of Noel Voice Studio with locations in Boston and New York City, where she has trained performers who now appear on Broadway as well as with national tours, regional theater, and cruise lines. Her students have performed leading roles in Wicked (Elphaba), Hadestown (Eurydice), Mrs. Doubtfire (Christopher Hillard), Swept Away, Waitress, Funny Girl, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Moaning Myrtle), and Beetlejuice (Lydia), among many others.

Smith is a recognized leader in the voice teaching community. She serves on the National Board of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and was selected as a Master Teacher for the 2025 NATS Intern Program (four teachers are selected nationwide each year), where she mentored early-career voice teachers from across the country. She is cofounder of Vox Futura, New England’s premier recording choir, and has recorded vocals for international video games and film soundtracks. She is also the author of Teach Voice, Make Money and the forthcoming The Path to Broadway.

Smith is excited to return to Boston Conservatory at Berklee—her alma mater—where she earned her undergraduate degree in voice and piano, and where her passion for teaching and performing first began.

In Their Own Words

I want my students to leave every lesson with practical tools, artistic confidence, and a deeper understanding of their own voice. My goal is for them to feel technically secure, musically expressive, and professionally prepared, whether they are stepping into an audition, a performance, or a recording session. Most of all, I want them to develop the confidence and self-awareness to tell their story authentically through song.
