Singing

Grammy Award winning Soprano, International Opera Star, Experienced Voice Teacher,  Highly knowledgable in all styles of music: classical, musical theater, pop, jazz, and blues.

Originally from Longview, Texas, I grew up Shreveport/Bossier, Louisiana.  I went to college at Stetson Univ in DeLand, Florida, and did my Master of Music degree at DePaul Univ, in Chicago. 

I grew up singing from age 4 at church and in musical theatre shows, playing piano from age 5, performing recitals and accompanying choirs and singers throughout my high school and college career.  I started singing professionally in college and made my Lyric Opera of Chicago debut at age 26.  

I sang in Europe numerous times and eventually landed in Los Angeles, where I have worked with LA Opera since 2007.  **It is with LA Opera that I won a Grammy Award for my performance in the opera Ghosts of Versailles.**    

Singing, performing and teaching has always been my way of life!  I started Voice Academy LA last year and have been building up my private voice studio since my college days.  I am experienced, very knowledgeable, and have a fun personality!   I take time to explain everything to my students so they can grasp healthy, vocal technique, and duplicate it on their own.  

I demonstrate what I teach and will create a unique vocal plan for each student so that they can achieve the best results.  We will have fun together and you will see results in time.  I teach a classically based technique that build your voice and can be applied to whatever style you prefer.  

Singing is a lifelong pursuit, and while I can coach you for an upcoming audition, it is dedication and regular practice and application that will sustain you in the longterm.  I work with students at all levels, beginner to professional.

Highly knowledgable in vocal technique, breathing, and repertoire in classic literature as well as musical theatre, pop, standards, and jazz.  Past students have performed world-wide, on Broadway, Opera and Symphonic stages, in concert with bands and numerous recording studios.  ***I work with students to help them understand their instrument, build a healthy vocal technique that works within the style of singing they are interested in.  Lessons consist of vocal exercises and work on repertoire/songs.  I play piano and accompany my students either live or through an accompaniment track that I record. I accept students age 10 and above, at all levels of study.  I am personable, fun, and patient, and want my students be the best singer they can be!***

Great teacher. Instructive, understanding and willing to accommodate different requests. 

The section was wonderful. I loved it, and I'm going to continue working with her.

Amazing and positive teacher. I could tell a difference on the first lesson. Definitely recommend.

Lori is such a blessing!  I have learned more with her in under a year than in ten years of choir and several years of vocal training with other teachers combined.  She is very professional, encouraging and kind.  If you're thinking of trying lessons with her, don't hesitate, sign up!  She is also very reasonable about scheduling :)

LoriAnn is patient, and willing to teach. I'm so glad I found her!

Lori Ann is the best voice teacher I’ve ever had! She taught me for the last 2+ years and I’ve improved by leaps and bounds thanks to her patience, flexibility, astute feedback, and unwavering support. I can’t say I’m the easiest student to teach but Lori Ann truly was with me every step of the way. 

Through our lessons, I was able to develop a real, working framework for how I, personally, can continue to improve as a singer. That is priceless! 
In summary, Lori Ann is the best — don’t wait for a chance to take lessons with her!

LoriAnn is hands down one of the best vocal teachers here in Takelessons. She’s patient and takes her time in teaching students’ proper technique. She also has a way in making students feel comfortable. I love her teaching style and always learn a lot during our group classes. Definitely A+++.
