One-on-one, paced by your ear and your progress. Most people start weekly, and stay long enough to hear the change clearly: usually months, not weeks. Beginners, people who were told they cannot sing, working singers and recording artists all start the same way.
Voice building works very well over a good audio connection, and most students worldwide work this way. You'll need a quiet room, a wired headset or decent microphone and a stable connection. Camera on, so the jaw, tongue and posture can be seen.
Book a sessionThe same work, in the room. Useful for advanced students, for tone work that benefits from real acoustic feedback, and for anyone who wants the intensity of in-person sessions. The studio is private and equipped for both training and recording.
Book a sessionVocal-producer work for artists in active recording: conditioning before the session, take-by-take tone shaping, matching the voice to the production, and longevity through tour and studio schedules. Booked in blocks rather than single hours.
Book a sessionA structured course built around audio exercises, anatomy plates and a progressive routine you can run on your own. Designed to extend one-on-one work, not replace it. Coming soon: join the waitlist.
Join the waitlistThe studio is in Beverly Hills, minutes from West Hollywood and Hollywood. Students come from across the city, and many switch between the studio and Zoom. Everyone else in the world works online.

If you can talk, you can learn to sing. Everyone is born with the musical part. What most people lack is a muscular instrument strong and coordinated enough to do what the ear hears. That part can be built, and I have watched people who were told for years that they had no voice become real singers.
Almost never. Singing on pitch is the vocal folds reaching the right length for the note you hear. When they fall short you sing flat, when they overshoot you sing sharp. That is a muscular problem, and it is fixed by strengthening and coordinating the pitch muscles, not by ear training alone.
Some changes are immediate: a deeper, more resonant voice can show up in the first sessions. Real building takes months, on the same timeline as a body in the gym. There are no shortcuts, and there are no plateaus that do not break.
No. Breathing is a natural part of singing and does not need direct work. When the larynx, pharynx and mouth are strong and coordinated, breath manages itself. The diaphragm is the inhalation muscle; during the sung exhale it is largely passive. "Support from the diaphragm" is half wrong, and the wrong half.
The idea that the voice is delicate is simply wrong. The vocal folds and the muscles around them are endurance muscles; you talk all day without tiring. They are built by load. The exercises keep the larynx low, the throat open and the folds in healthy contact. What damages voices is the opposite: weak muscles, a high larynx and singing in keys that are too high.
Your essential tone is the one thing voice building does not change. It enriches and cleans it. Shaping the colour, texture and edge of your voice for a particular song or record is a separate job, voice conditioning, which we do once the instrument is capable.
