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.

I teach vocal health above all. This is key to longevity in a personal or professional career. I also coach students in vocal stylizing in a variety of genres. I teach students to sing in the right tone, quality, with appropriate ad-libs, riffs and runs to make their voice stand out and shine. I want my students to be versatile and well-rounded, finding "their" voice and being able to fit it into whatever style of music they like.

My goal is to work with the individual singer in acquiring a solid, healthy vocal technique which results in healthy singing. Students will learn to navigate their voice and work around problem areas. Students will expand range and learn to manipulate the voice to fit the musical style required of the piece.
Each private voice lesson will consist of focused work catered toward the students’ needs. The technique will then be applied to the repertoire chosen by the teacher and student.
About Jennifer
Upon completing my Bachelor’s degree, I received an M.M. in Musical Theatre from the Boston Conservatory. When I wasn’t enjoying some wicked good clam chowdah, I could be found onstage as a concert soloist with the Boston Pops conducted by Keith Lockhart or belting the national anthem at Fenway Park.
Wanting to combine my joy for traveling with my love for performance, I also studied acting at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford, England, musical theatre at NYU’s CAP 21, and opera at OperaWorks in California. I have performed in New York at Birdland and the Laurie Beechman Theatre, and in New Hampsh
Fueling my wanderlust, I traveled the world in the International Tour of CATS. I have also performed in many regional theatres throughout the country. Some of my favorite credits include: The Marvelous Wonderettes, Light in the Piazza, Guys and Dolls, The Golden Apple, and The Full Monty.
I've been teaching private lessons since 2006 and have loved helping my students expand their vocal range, increase their repertoire, gain solid technique, and just enjoy singing. Each lesson will begin with a vocal warm-up focusing on breath, posture, and technique. We will then work on your music together. I want to know what type and styles of music you like and am happy to help provide you with new material ideas. My background is primarily in musical theatre/Broadway which embraces all styles of music including classical, jazz, pop, rock, and country.
I can't wait to meet you!

About Deanna

· Singing · In studio
Where do I begin?...
I am a musician of 15 years – with a background in composition, vocal performance, piano technic, percussion, production, etc. I have worked with several different vocal instructors throughout my lifetime. I have been a solo artist for 2 years at Pledge Empire Records while studying at McNally Smith College of Music for 2+ years before moving to Los Angeles, CA.
To say the least,
the day I started working with Deanna is the day I became a REAL musician.
Looking back at my previous experiences as a musician, pianist and especially a vocalist; I am disappointed that I didn't know Deanna sooner!
I've taken lessons from so many teachers over the years but Deanna was the only one that worked for me. She will tell you the truth, she will motivate you and guide you through it all. Being a performer for years, I have always struggled understanding my voice. Deanna explained the technicalities to me so I could understand what I was doing wrong.
She is simply wonderful! I can’t emphasize enough on how much she has helped me develop my skills in singing and as a musician. She’s not only a great teacher, but she is incredibly knowledgeable, talented and humble given the incredible accomplishments she has achieved in the past! Given her experiences, she does so much more than teach you vocal lessons; she shows interest in the type of musician YOU want to become so she can help you reach your own personal goals as an artist. I have never had a teacher (vocal, piano, percussion, etc.) that has ever executed that type of behavior. That alone makes her different from the rest.
What I love (and I mean LOVE) the most about Deanna is that she really listens. She can hear problems so well that her corrections help you get better quickly but also make it very clear for you. She is the most gifted vocal coach I have every had the pleasure working with. I have never met anyone who blends expertise, sensitivity, instinct, and compassion into her students as well as Deanna. It is safe to say, without a teacher like Deanna – I would’ve probably given up my singer career and headed back to my hometown in Minnesota.
Deanna is much more than a vocal teacher… She has been a motivation to me as a musician, such an amazing mentor and I am incredibly proud to say that I have a fantastic relationship with her.
She is flat out, the best vocal coach I’ve ever worked with!
Thank you for everything, Deanna!!

Stephanie will work with you and adjust her teaching style according to your needs. She explains technique in different ways until it clicks for you, and then she reminds you with the cues you find most helpful. Everybody learns differently, so a flexible teaching style like Stephanie's makes a huge difference in a lesson's effectiveness.
