Throga is truly wonderful! This review is long overdue, and it's so important to share our powerful experience with Throga, Richard Fink IV, Johnny Cummings, Sam Polizzi, and the rest of the team! Our daughter attended the Throga music retreat at the age of 8, and she walked away with loving memories, as well as practical and critical tools that are still part of her vocal routine today. She also collaborated with Johnny and Sam, utilizing the Throga platform when writing, recording, and releasing three original songs that were dedicated to kids and teens who struggle with their emotions. Throga has a huge place in our hearts and we highly recommend exploring their menu and learning from Richard and the talented team.

The Knowledge is Incredible 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.

We are so thankful for Richard and his Thoga classes! There are not enough words to describe how incredible Richard Fink IV is!! Richard is a fantastic coach - and he LOVES teaching and singing! My son went through puberty, a major voice change, and he had lost much of his natural confidence while struggling to find his voice again. Richard, Throga, the vocal gym and the seven dimensions of singing all gave my son the JOY back when he sings! I love listening to Richard coach him every week and hear Cameron continuously improve. Richard takes the time to assess what portions of his voice / vocal cords that Cameron can strengthen and fosters his love of singing and performing. He is an incredible coach and I would HIGHLY recommend him and his Seven Dimensions of Singing to anyone that is looking to grow their vocal talents.

Richard Fink and his Throga technique… Richard Fink and his Throga technique completely changed the trajectory of my career. He helped me improve tenfold in the years he was my coach, and better than that, he taught me how to analyse my own abilities and tweak things myself. I would say Richard is the best vocal coach I ever had, and to this day, I still use the tools he taught me and the 7 dimensions of singing. Thank you Richard!

Throga effectiveness I started out training with Throga, not understanding notes or how to use my voice to create music. He believes that anyone can learn to sing, and i am living proof. We would start our classes with the vocal gym and finish them with singing. The vocal gym exercises, were fun and always changing. Like a gym, i started seeing improvement in a few months. He focused on different aspects of the vocal ability; Range, strength, accuracy of pitch were a few of them that i’m paraphrasing here. I find myself humming the exercises as i commute to open up my voice even when readying to speak to different folks or when i lose my voice at a loud bar. It’s really quite profound that i lose my voice at a bar, and can re invigorate it by doing the exercises which release the swollen vocal cords. Richard has done his research and is committed to helping people discover their true voice and capabilities. I think it would be highly beneficial to give his book and online course a try. And if one has the resources, his personal sessions are outstanding.
