"I have been delighted
with Mr. Gerard's work at Gurari Studios. As a voice teacher I have
been impressed with his ability to obtain a true and authentic
sounding result, and his musical knowledge and keen insight into the
voice are distinct advantages. This facilitates not only an
understanding of how to capture the individual at their recorded best,
but an efficient use of editing time as well. I highly recommend
Gurari Studios."

"Several of my pupils have
gone to Gurari Studios to have recordings made and in each case I have
found the final product to be of the highest quality. It isn't easy to
record operatic voices, especially those who sing heavier repertoire,
and I feel that Jeremy Gerard has the technical expertise and the
musical sensitivity to capture the true quality of those who sing
classical music."

Studios several times for recording both in the studio and at the
theatre. They are fantastic! In particular, their deep knowledge of
opera makes the project go smoothly and quickly. The post-production
results are first class!"
-Michael Capasso

"Meticulous
and exacting. You can depend on Jeremy to make you sound your very best!
I was so surprised by his knowledge of the classical voice and
impeccable ears. His attention to details is first rate. In other

"I have had the privilege to work with Jeremy on several
occasions at his studio conveniently located in midtown Manhattan.
The equipment, room, and piano are excellent. As a singer with a
large voice, I find the space works beautifully for me, and as a
singer himself, Jeremy brings to the recording sessions a special and
added expertise you will not find elsewhere in NYC. He makes the
entire process easy and stress free and was very quick to not only
work me into his busy schedule, but also to get additional
copies off to me around the world. I happily and honestly
recommend him to my colleagues and will absolutely use his fine
services in the future. Thank you Jeremy for being the
difference in NYC."

"Jeremy Gerard and
Gurari Studios has renewed my belief in competent recording engineers
after having had several bad and costly experiences. Jeremy is
extremely knowledgeable in the recording industry and as a singer as
well. The studio and piano are wonderful and the room is very easy to
sing in, even with a bigger voice. His recording produced a
true-to-life sound, perfectly matching the real voice with no
artificial covering or film. His easy going personality made a
stressful experience a pleasure. Jeremy went out of his way to make
sure that I was satisfied with the final product and the recording far
exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Jeremy and
Gurari Studios to my colleagues and will definitely be using his
services again."

"I've made several
recordings with Jeremy Gerard at Gurari Studios. Jeremy is an
excellent audio engineer, he's very personable and has a very fine
ear. The recordings Jeremy creates are very natural sounding and
clear. The studio is beautiful and has a fantastic piano. I've been
hired for several jobs based solely on recordings I have submitted
that Jeremy produced. I highly recommend Gurari Studios."
-James Archie Worley, Tenor

"I have made a lot of demo
tapes in the past and have never been happy. Finally, I found Jeremy
at Gurari Studios and I have a recording I'm proud to send out. With
Jeremy I never felt rushed. He knows how singers operate and his
attention to detail is extraordinary. I will definitely use Gurari
studios again!"
-Jennifer Roderer, Mezzo-Soprano

"Gurari Studios
came very highly recommended to me and I am extremely pleased
with my end result! From my first moments at the studio, I felt
completely comfortable and confident in Jeremy's ability to get a great
result. He was professional, efficient, friendly and also
worked hard to get my recording done in a time crunch. Because
of his
vast knowledge of the classical vocal repertoire, it made the
recording that much easier and stress-free, and allowed me to focus on
singing my best. The recording quality is beautiful and
the
experience was really invaluable!"
-Rachele Gilmore, Soprano

incredibly high quality recording. His knowledge of opera and
song, along with his discerning ear are invaluable, and his patience

" I've made a dozen
recordings with Jeremy over the last ten years, and I recommend him
whenever anyone asks for advice about where to record in New York. A
singer himself, he knows voices, and he knows the rep. so you can
trust his ears. The piano and the acoustics in the room are phenomenal
and and he's a tech.wiz, with state of the art equipment. And he's one
of those completely reliable people who gets the job done right and
on-time every time. Herr Gurari creates a professional and
relaxed atmosphere in the studio that lets you do your best work.
"
-Ethan Herschenfeld, Bass
-Teatro la Fenice, San Francisco Opera, New York City Opera

of recording oneself is made easier in the highly professional and
relaxed atmosphere of Gurari Studios. Jeremy Gerard has done
everything right to create a first class recording establishment.
Highly recommended."
-Glenn Morton Vocal Coach, Mannes College of Music,
NYU School of Music
"Jeremy was the perfect
engineer for my CD of original compositions and improvisations,
"Songs & Soundscapes." His equipment is superb (I just
love his piano!) and his technical skills are awesome. I
particularly appreciated how Jeremy understood the artistic
possibilities of my new music and the advice he gave me to
crystalize the music's potential."
