David Babich has been offering singing lessons in all styles for more than 10 years. He is a creative and intuitive music instructor, and is dedicated to each student's success, whether beginner or professional. His ability to clearly communicate to students of all ages, combined with his extensive knowledge of the voice have made him one of the most sought after vocal coaches in San Francisco and Los Angeles. David Teaches private voice lessons as well as private vocal coaching in voice-over. In addition to being one of the most qualified voice teachers in the Los Angeles area, he has a recording studio, which can be used for high quality recording of Voice Over Demo CD's and Music Demos.
David holds a Bachelor's in Voice from the University of California at Los Angeles, and is also a certified VoiceWorks Associate. He is an expert in many vocal styles and techniques, including Rock, Pop, Folk, Jazz and Musical Theatre. David is a member of Actor's Equity Association and the American Society of Composers and Publishers.
David's students come from many areas of the Southern California area, United States of America (U.S.A.) These include Palms, Culver City, Los Angeles, West Los Angeles (WLA), Marina Del Rey, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Rancho Park, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Venice, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Mar Vista and Century City, 213, 310, 323.
Voice lessons and recording sessions are held at my home
studio in Palms, which is just north of Culver City, and 3-4 miles south of
Westwood. I am only a couple miles from I-10, off the National Exit. The closest major cross
streets are Venice Blvd. and Motor Ave. I am in Los Angeles, CA 90034.
The singing lessons consist of breathing and support techniques,
vocalizations, and song coaching.
Usually within the first 20 minutes of the first lesson, I can assess
your vocal strengths and weaknesses.
During this assessment I am listening to the following vocal
parameters:
Vocal Cord Function – Are the vocal folds vibrating against
one another in a safe and efficient manner.
Breath Support – The relationship between airflow and air
pressure, and how this is connected to vocal cord function.
Ear/Intonation – Singing right on pitch, and the ability to
recall a series of tones (tonal memory)
Resonance - The
manner in which air vibrates through bones and crevices in the head. (kind of
weird, huh?) It is resonance which
gives a singer ‘color’, and creates a palette of specific sounds.
Performance – Confidence, Emotional Connection and
Expression.
These areas of vocal study in addition to several others
will be addressed and developed on an ongoing basis as we work to unlock your
natural, free voice.
