Hi there, and welcome—I’m Nyla Cione, owner and voice coach at Wilmington Voice Coach. Since 2004, I’ve been passionate about helping singers discover and develop their true, authentic voice, providing expressive, fun, engaging science-informed vocal training in a professional virtual studio environment where every voice is valued, celebrated, and supported.
I work with singers ages nine and up—from beginners just discovering their voice to advanced performers refining their artistry. I offer 30- or 45-minute lessons, beginning with my 3-Week New Student Spring Special, which includes three elite 30-minute online voice lessons plus my signature vocal warmup program. Singers notice immediate results, building confidence, creativity, and connection from the very first lesson. → Learn more, get started.

In your lessons, we’ll work through any vocal challenges you’d like to overcome using a blend of Estill Voice-based methods, Bel Canto breath and open-throat techniques, and Speech Level Singing for a balanced, easy-to-feel approach. We’ll smooth out transitions between your vocal registers and expand your range, helping your voice feel strong, connected, and authentic. You’ll notice steadier pitch and a more beautiful, expressive tone—without tension or strain.
In each 30- or 45-minute online lesson, we integrate these science-informed methods into your warm-up so you’re immediately engaging and coordinating your voice for greater flow, ease, freedom, power, and control.
As we move into song, your voice naturally recalls and sustains these patterns, leading to noticeable breakthroughs and faster progress. Every lesson includes follow-up exercises to reinforce what you’ve learned to support continued development between sessions.
Originally from Miami, FL, born into a musical family with both parents as national and international jazz artists, I followed in their footsteps. I began singing at the age of 4 and performing professionally by 7, in theater shows, private engagements, solo performances in places of worship, and as the featured lead vocalist in pop/R&B bands, jazz trios, and on recording projects. My vocal training encompasses a variety of methodologies, including science-informed pedagogy, Estill Voice Training principles (Levels 1 & 2), Bel Canto, and Speech Level Singing, which translate across all musical styles. I've had the opportunity to study with a diverse group of voice teachers, beginning with Carolyn Stanford (Classical, Miami), Brett Manning (Speech Level, Nashville), Claude Stein (Pop/R&B, NYC), and Joe Spinella (Classical/Musical Theater, SRQ). I've been coaching since 2004 and have been a resident of Wilmington, NC, since 2012. Questions for Nyla, click here.
