Simi Valley, CA Opera Voice Lessons

Opera is all about flexibility and support! Let me help you get the techniques and conditioning necessary to sustain through a long recitative or soar through an aria.

Customized vocal lessons built on foundations of great vocal care & technique, songs that fit your voice sound & type, building repertoire and ear training. Sight singing can also be taught during the lesson.

We will work on proper breath technique, vocal conditioning, vocal placement, identifying and expanding your range, note sustain and power. Work on Arias that that will showcase your voice as well as ones that will challenge you to grow. Work on proper pronunciation of foreign language text.

Learn to sing correctly using the best techniques in the world. I studied voice with Robert Austin at USD and Richard Nichol in San Francisco in the Garcia-Marcheisse Institute. I have over 35 years of on-stage performance including Opera performances, Broadway Style Musicals, Sacred Oratorios as well as Intimate opera dinner gatherings. From Soloist at St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco to entertainer at corporate events with over 5,000 in attendance.

My students get so much more than JUST Voice lessons. They will have a full resource from a professional still working in the entertainment field. I share everything I have learned and am still learning with my students. Besides learning an incredible vocal technique that will help avoid vocal blow out, I teach emotional connection to your songs, on stage performance, mic technique, studio performance and work with song selection. I share my whole self with every student whether they are a beginner or a pro.

Classical 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).

There is only one way to discover if you have talent for singing Opera, is to take few lessons with an opera singer!
Even if there's something missing for the big voice, there is always a great technique that comes with studying classical singing.

I studied Audio Engineering and Vocal Performance at MI since I was 15 years old. Music became my passion and that's why you'll love this class. They are all customized and all ages welcome. I'm bilingual (English and Spanish)and I teach an Italian technique named Bel Canto. My voice was completely different before learning it, it felt weak and not good enough. Now it's completely different, it's fuller and powerful. You want that power in your voice, singing becomes more fun, no stress about those runs or high notes. This technique helps you getting to pretty high notes without even struggling and I'll also teach you the essentials of songwriting. My classes are fun but still pretty serious. My goal is to make your voice sound killer. Let's prepare you for that audition, that concert, that recording session. You'll feel different, you'll be 100% more confident. Like I always tell my students: DO IT OR DO NOT, THERE'S NO TRY.

I am a classically trained vocalist (bass-baritone) for 9 years. I am able to teach several styles of singing including but not limited to pop, a cappella, musical theatre, classical, choral, etc. I have performed roles such as Leporello in Mozart's "Don Giovanni" and Morales in Bizet's "Carmen" (both performed in the Valley Performing Arts Center). I have a strong understanding of music theory and can work with voices of any range. I'm an extremely chill and nerdy guy with a huge passion for music and just want to inspire others.

My goal as a teacher is to help students, both children and adults, find their own unique voice and to teach them how to use that gift to its highest potential. Singing is something so powerful and to help someone to hone their abilities and gain confidence in their voice brings me a lot of joy! I specialize in Broadway and Classical Styles with a bit of Pop thrown in. I think singing should be fun and never scary, so I try to bring that into all of my lessons. I can assist with audition prep (song selection/cuts, how to be professional, etc), movement and performance skills while singing, and whatever else you may be searching for in a lesson. Learning proper technique, finding the right songs for you, and feeling more confident can make a world of a difference for singers and I would love to help make that happen.
