Vocal Performance &
Production Fundamentals

Intro to Vocal Techniques is one of the most important singing classes an aspiring singer can take. It acquaints students with the fundamental concepts of singing that activate vocal freedom and a healthy voice. Students will learn the fundamentals of singing, including: breath support, phonation for pitch accuracy, resonance for tonal variety and articulation for clarity. This course provides singers with a foundation of the necessary concepts, terminology and techniques that result in a balanced voice with dynamic range and tone.

The experience our founders and faculty have earned by helping produce songs like Brady’s “Long Distance,” Chris Brown’s “Take You Down,” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Einstein” will play a big part in this course.

Advanced Vocal Techniques explores complex vocal concepts such as range, expression, and vocal health. Our founders and faculty’s experience on tracks such as “Torn Down” (Brandy), “Winner” (Justin Timberlake and T.I.), and “Get It Over With” (Rihanna) will bring invaluable insight during this course taught in Los Angeles.

Students in this singing class will learn methods that increase the vocal registers, blend the voice, and express stylistic choices such as riffs while developing a consistent practice routine geared towards optimal vocal hygiene. Each week, the student will have opportunities to apply and perform the new techniques with coaching and feedback. By the end of the course, students will possess a deeper understanding of advanced vocal techniques and be able to seamlessly sing throughout their range.

The Vocal Performance course combines the art of singing with elements of stage performance and collaboration. Storytelling through expressive singing, stage presence, body language, and choreography is emphasized, in addition to stage awareness and collaborative techniques.

Our founders and faculty will be able to leverage their experience working on songs such as “Suit & Tie” (Justin Timberlake), “That's What I Like” (Bruno Mars), and “Free Fall” (Beyoncé) to explain concepts from the course. Students taking this singing class are exposed to stage equipment, including microphones, backline, and leading a band while learning necessary concepts, terminology, and techniques for vocal performance in a modern environment.

Vocal Recording focuses on recording technology to prepare a singer for a versatile career in the studio. Our founders and faculty who instruct our singing classes and programs have contributed to songs such as “American Wedding” (Frank Ocean), “Hold On Longer” (John Legend), and “Mirrors” (Justin Timberlake) that give them insider knowledge to the vocal recording process.

This course provides singers with a foundation of the necessary concepts and terminology for recording vocals. Modern recording techniques will be explored and demonstrated, including the use of GarageBand, microphones, audio interfaces, and best practices for editing. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to record, edit, and enhance their voice efficiently and effectively.

Advanced Vocal Recording elaborates upon the concepts and techniques that are discussed and demonstrated in the Vocal Recording course. This course provides students attending our singing classes in Los Angeles the ability to understand the studio recording process, troubleshoot vocal chains, select the proper microphone for a vocal recording session, arrange background vocals, build a vocal recording studio, create a rough mix of vocal tracks and deliver files to clients and collaborators.

Our founders and faculty will draw from their experience working on “Dedicated” (Mariah Carey & Nas), “Blow” (Beyoncé), and “Please Me” (Cardi B & Bruno Mars) to explain concepts. In addition, this course will include automation using GarageBand.

The Business of Singing class taught at our LA campus prepares a singer for a professional career in music. In addition to performance skills, a professional singer must understand how to attain and manage work as a professional. This course lays the groundwork with an emphasis on audition techniques, business basics, branding, and social media as a calling card.
