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 ***
The lessons are designed around each student's particular need, especially when it comes to how the student likes to learn, not every person learns the same way, so flexibility is key. The student will be given a solid concept of good breath support, work with matching pitches, singing with a line, producing good tone quality and singing with good diction and projection. The student is ultimately going to learn how to become their own voice teacher, they will learn how to listen to their voice and be able to identify warning signs of vocal trouble and how to prevent and solve problems. After about three months the student will be producing much prettier tone and begin to grasp the concept of breath support. As time moves on, they will build their ability to support their voice, open up their sound so they can get more volume without hurting their instrument and the student will develop a better endurance, being able to sing longer and not tire out too quickly. As the students technique develops and strengthens, they will become more confident. If the student is already performing or has worked to the point where they are ready to start performing, then we will spend more time on interpretation and acting as well as developing a confident stage presence.

About Moriah L.
CloseI'm a personal trainer - for your voice! My trainings incorporate modern twists on the most effective techniques from the Swedish-Italian school of singing. I use this classical technique as the foundation for compelling vocals in commercial styles, such as pop, soul, and rock. You will learn how to use your body and breath together to produce powerful and beautiful sound!
Your lessons are handcrafted - warmups, exercises, and all - to wherever you are in your vocal journey. Through each lesson, you will receive the tools you need to strengthen your voice and reach your goals. Let's have fun crafting a voice that stands out. Message me to get started, I can't wait to meet you!
About Moriah
I specialize in singing and teaching commercial styles, particularly pop, rock, and soul, but my approach to all commercial vocal practice is derived from classical traditions, mainly from the Swedish-Italian school of vocal production. No matter your skill level or background, you can be assured that you will receive a solid foundation in theory and technical skill through our lessons. Our sessions will take place in my
While I primarily teach voice, I have had extensive piano training, so if you are interested in playing the piano while singing, I will gladly help you develop that skill. As an avid songwriter, I can guide you through the songwriting process, show you how to write melodies that fit your range and vocal timbre, and give you tips to improve your songs.
in addition to helping you strengthen your voice and reach your vocal goals, I will teach you how to maintain your progress and prime yourself for continuous growth. You will never feel judged or put down in your lessons with me. I make it my mission to foster an environment of encouragement, self-esteem, and fun. However, like a personal trainer, I will hold you accountable, because I want to see you excel and stand out in your singing endeavors. I want you to thrive as a vocalist. I look forward to our first session together!

Her lessons usually start of with a couple of stretches (usually just upper body). This is to help relax your body, jaw, mouth, etc before singing. Then she will do some vocal warms that at first seem pretty basic, and not intense, but they will help you in the long run! Trust me. Then she will practice with you a song you want to try to sing or need help with. As you progress, she will have you work on reading music and other skills. (Course, she is open to working on anything more or less as you need). Once again, your lesson is customized on what YOU need.
I’ve been working with her since July 2018. I know that I have improved on ear training immensely! I am able to pick up melodies much faster than before. I am able to sing more powerful than before which is something I struggle with consistently. She will push you! She will take you out of your comfort and push you to have confidence in yourself. She has a great personality. Kind. Fun. Energetic. Intelligent beyond her years. I’m continuing to take lessons with her until she makes me the next Beyoncé or something.
So I highly recommend her. Book a few lessons with her, attend them, don’t forget to take your water, and a recoding device, be responsible and take it serious because she is taking you serious. After all you’re paying for the lessons. You want to improve. And you will.
I’m looking forward to continue working with her and be stretched more.

CloseClassical vocal technique with a contemporary application. A solid classical vocal foundation crosses over into any style of music you wish to sing. I am a classically trained opera singer (UCLA: BA Vocal Performance, Graduate Studies: École Normale de Musique de Paris) who performs in both classical (opera and choral) and non-classical musical settings (musical theater, jazz, and pop).
About Taj
I believe in establishing a solid technical foundation based in classical singing technique. The technique I teach comes from the Russian school of Bel Canto (beautiful singing in Italian). By gaining control of your voice through breath control and precise vocal placement, anything is possible! A solid technical foundation will assure the longevity of your voice and its application crosses over into any genre of music you sing.
As a singer, I have performed in a
Singing is ultimately a form of artistic expression and release. The end goal of all the technical training is to create an artistic moment for both you and the audience. When you begin the journey of discovering your own unique voice, you will also begin a deeper journey with yourself. Singing has brought me so much joy in my own life and I look forward to sharing that joy with you!
