Step into a professional partnership grounded in care, clarity, and craft. Commissions at Once Upon a Voice are available to those who want to hire Marcellé or her adult students, through the studio, to complete specific creative work without enrolling in the studio’s educational services. These offerings reflect the same trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming values that guide all work within Once Upon a Voice—clear boundaries, thoughtful collaboration, and respect for creative process—while remaining fully client-centered. Once Upon a Voice is a music production company specializing in voice-led creative work and musical authorship. Commissioned projects are completed within the same studio ecosystem that supports Marcellé’s work as a self-producing artist and the studio’s support of Voicelore. Work is completed by Marcellé independently or in collaboration with Once Upon a Voice’s adult students—musicians who already operate within the studio’s trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming standards. This structure allows professional work to serve as real-world creative training while remaining accountable and discreet. When a project requires outside expertise, collaborators are engaged thoughtfully and compensated fairly. If a client’s needs fall entirely outside the studio’s capabilities or availability, Marcellé may refer trusted colleagues for independent work. Commissions are available in singing, songwriting, piano, and music production. Singing work includes studio recording, background vocals for stage or screen, and cover song performances at venues. Songwriting commissions provide toplining and lyric writing tailored to the client’s creative direction. Piano services include custom accompaniment tracks, session playing, and original arrangements. Music production offers full-track instrumentation, vocal arranging, and the technical assembly of demos or masters. Please note that requests for Marcellé as a featured artist, or bookings for her to perform original music, are handled separately through musicbymarcelle.com. All commissions are project-based and priced individually after a proposal is submitted. Creative parameters, timeline, usage, collaborators, and deliverables are clarified before work begins. All commissioned work remains private and confidential. Nothing is publicly shared, referenced, or used as an example without explicit permission from the client. That boundary is fully respected. Adult students of Once Upon a Voice who are seeking guided, educational support for their own stage or studio projects should visit the Projects section of the Teaching page instead. Projects are instructional add-ons that include coaching, feedback, and process transparency. Commissions are distinct: they are completed creative work delivered on behalf of the client. Both pathways are available to adults only. If you are looking to hire Marcellé or engage the Once Upon a Voice studio team for professional musical or production work, this page is your starting point. If you are looking to learn, grow, and create with guidance, the Teaching page is designed for you. Both paths are intentional. Both are respected.
