Voice lessons, singing classes, acting classes, musical theater training, and performance opportunities for adults in San Francisco and online.

DAMATO is the hub of voice and performance science.

Our pedagogy draws from current research in vocology, motor learning, anatomy, and adult psychology. We use scaffolded instruction to support progress over time, with no one-size-fits-all corrections.

The name D’Amato means “beloved” in Italian.

It reflects the music that shaped our founder—Italian opera—and the kind of studio culture we build here. We believe that great voice work begins with a foundation of safety, care, and respect. Our students are not just welcomed. They are known and integral co-creators of our culture.
