Becoming a Pro Singer in Los Angeles
By Ben M. – Glendale Singing Teacher
You know the saying, "Hollywood is where stars are born!" It's both true and misleading. I've found a better way to put it: "Hollywood is where people realize they're already stars!" And no, I'm not talking about fame. There is a common misconception that in order to "make it" in LA, you have to become famous. You may hold this misconception yourself because most - if not all - of the entertainment professionals you know are celebrities. You rarely hear about the thousands of regular people who came here to be in the industry - and succeeded. There are studio singers, tour singers, wedding singers, music therapists, singing teachers...the list goes on and on. Taking singing lessons in Glendale, California and exploring the LA music scene are great ways to get started in your dreams to succeed in your career as a singer.
Los Angeles is the rare city that has no real central hub. Rather, it consists of a number of communities all in close proximity to each other; and Glendale is just one of these communities. Singers just getting their career started will find many like-minded individuals in the many nearby communities of Silver Lake, Echo Park, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Burbank, and Studio City. I've found that the easiest and most effective way of finding other open-minded singers is to visit one of the many popular "open mic" nights and artist showcases in these communities. To supplement your singing lessons in Glendale, hit up any of these well-known spots to connect with fellow singers eager to share and collaborate:
Room 5 - Hollywood This should be everybody's first stop on the LA music circuit; it's a glimpse into the heart of Hollywood's hardest working musicians. If you're from out of town, you will be amazed at the caliber of talent that graces the stage at Room 5 every night. It's a testament to the vast amount of talent that exists here. Say hi to your favorite singer after the show, and ask them about what they do. They will undoubtedly have valuable knowledge to share with you. http://www.room5lounge.com/
The Hotel Cafe - Hollywood You may have heard a live album from one of your favorite artists that was recorded here. This venue does a great job of making room for all levels, whether you're just starting out or are a national act. If your material is good, they will make room for you. https://www.hotelcafe.com/
The Troubadour - West Hollywood A unique venue with a whole lot of history. They don't have an open mic here, instead focusing on touring artists with draws of 100 or more. It's a great place to get a taste of what Los Angeles is all about. http://www.troubadour.com/
Silver Lake Lounge - Silver Lake A tiny venue that focuses on local independent artists, especially in the rock genre. This place has a certain flair to it and is a great spot if you're looking to meet some of the more eccentric members of the LA music scene. http://thesilverlakelounge.ticketfly.com/
Tribal Cafe - Echo Park An all-ages cafe with a very relaxed atmosphere. They insist on creating and maintaining a friendly and casual environment for both musicians and spectators. Once you get to know other musicians at a similar point on their journey, you can start attending the countless auditions that are held here every week - both by companies and individuals. You can also ask to be introduced to other pros who might be looking to work with someone like you. http://www.tribalcafe.com/site/
As you grow with your peers in this city, it's important to continue improving your skills. Taking singing lessons in Glendale from a local teacher is a great way to hone your talent and learn about your instrument.

*** Lesson Details ***
I am pretty easygoing, because I realize that students probably have a lot of homework, jobs, children to raise, etc. I believe that music should be enjoyable as well as educational! I also know that when a student practices, it heightens their enjoyment of music because it is far more fulfilling. I can guarantee that if you work with me as hard as I work with a student, you will feel excellent about your progress and ability! I have experience teaching people on the autism spectrum and those with Down Syndrome.

About Vanessa L.

I can teach you to sing many styles, all with using proper vocal technique.
About Vanessa
I earned my bachelors degree in music education with an emphasis in vocals. I learned music appreciation, theory, history, choral singing and classical voice training.
I love music and cannot picture life without it. Music is an expression of life! I also love to teach music to others as I feel I'm passing on a great gift.
*** Lesson Details ***
As a teacher I fall somewhere in between strict and laid back. For instance, if you don't practice I won't scold you, but I will remind you that you can only be as good as you work to be. If you don't want to put in the effort you will waste your time and money, as well as not receive the results that you were desiring.
Our lessons will consist of many vocal exercises, go
If you are serious about becoming a better singer/musician you will enjoy our lessons.
I encourage my students to strive for excellence and will do all I can to draw that out of you.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide the tools to learn theory, songs to choose from and I do have my own portable keyboard. Students would need to have a tape or digital recorder to record their lessons and a positive attitude.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in classical voice, and vocal training, (learning how to use your voice properly).

She is such a sweet teacher who feels easy to teach you at the right level. With great understanding, warm passion, and sufficient knowledge, she’s just made me more and more confident!
I enjoyed every lesson she gave. Time went by without knowing since I was absolutely attracted by her every instruction and demonstration! I’m probably the oldest student, over 70, a total beginner,. Yet, this is no problem to her at all!
Vanessa makes me think of the popular saying: “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. “
Dear teacher Vanessa has certainly inspired me a great deal!
