Can You Sing a HIGH C Without Straining? If not, let me show you how!
I teach in a professional recording studio and have over 50,000 hours of experience training singers, writing and producing music. I love delivering spectacular results fast.
If Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman from THE OFFSPRING can extend his range by 7 notes after his second lesson, so can you! Train with me in a professional recording studio using world-class microphones and preamps. The audio quality is superb!
I use Microsoft TEAMS for online training. Online technology works so well now that when I teach, I hear you as well as if you were standing right next to me in the studio singing. It’s amazing! I record your lesson to MP3 files and send them to you via dropbox after the lesson. I’ve given online lessons to singers around the world for years now. It’s a proven, effective way to learn how to sing a HIGH C without straining and improve your vocal technique without ever leaving your home! If you live close to the studio, my recommendation is to come in for in-person lessons. But if you live a ways away and/or can’t easily commute to my studio, online training works great!
After the lesson I send the audio file to you via email using Dropbox so you can practice at home.
Not a requirement, but it's smart to go through my 12 lesson Fundamental Series before we start working on songs. This gives you the skill needed to be able to follow my direction in a song lesson. Even if you've had prior training it's still a good idea to lay a good foundation with the fundamental lessons.
Watch the video below to get an overview of what training is like with me at my studio in Orange County, CA.

General rule of thumb - the more often I coach you, the faster you improve. Some singers train every day, some do once or twice per week, some do 2 sessions per day and complete the Fundamental Series in a week. A good game plan is to train daily for the first 12 hours (vocal technique fundamentals), then train as often as you can after that when we start working on advanced vocal technique and songs.
After you've completed the 12 Lesson Fundamental Series we start the Advanced Vocal Technique Lessons and song work. The advanced lessons are divided into ten 10 hour series (100 hours), each emphasizing one harmonic interval with lots of ear training. It's very comprehensive and will leave you with a complete understanding of your voice and how to use it.
A big part of how I help the singers I train is writing, arranging, recording and producing music for them. My recording studio is a great teaching tool when we start working on songs and a fabulous resource for singers that need a demo. I play guitar and keys at a pro level, and if you’d like to record your own original music, or original versions of covers, I can either write and produce the music or help you tweak music you already have that needs some finishing touches. The music I produce for you will be at a quality level that rivals the top studios/producers in the world.
Creating a compelling music video is a great way to start building a fan base and become known online as a singer and I can completely take care of producing a video for you. We can do this with original music or an original version of a cover. There are over 100 music videos I’ve produced on my YouTube channel you can watch as examples of my work, some at the level of a short feature film. After we finish your video I can help you create a powerful online marketing program that will start getting you new fans within hours of the video launch.
