Sarah has been teaching voice professionally to students of all ages and experience levels for over 10 years.  She has over 15 years of vocal and musical training with the nation’s top instructors and holds a Masters in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music.  Sarah is a highly skilled vocal technician known for her fun approach to singing, knack for crafting personalized lessons, and accessible techniques that get results.

I am currently accepting new students at my studio in Los Feliz. If you’d like to inquire about lessons, please email me at ms.sarahjreynolds [at] gmail [dot] com or call 213.915.4167.

Everyone has the right to discover his or her true potential as a singer. Whether you are a curious beginner pursuing singing as a hobby, a recording artist or singer-songwriter in search of skills to maximize your vocal performance and boost your singing career, or a working professional who views voice study as a means to build confidence in other disciplines such as acting, teaching, or public speaking, I am excited to help you achieve your goals.

I understand firsthand that singing is an incredibly personal event and lessons are taught one-on-one, in a relaxed setting where singing is approached according to the student’s needs, pace, interests, and goals. Lessons can include:

• exercises that develop essential skills in posture, breathing, vocal support, tone production and resonance
• learning songs and choosing audition repertoire that best suits your voice and showcases your unique talent
• the design of a warm-up routine to use before a performance or rigorous recording session
• special attention targeting trouble spots in music, issues with vocal range or transitions between vocal registers
• coaching in diction (English, Italian, French, German, et al), articulation, and projection
• music reading skills and ear training
• short-term audition preparation and help learning music
• other areas of focus inspired by the singer’s strengths and challenges

Singing is an aerobic activity; your body is your instrument. My teaching emphasizes the vitality of a strong mind-body connection, reliable vocal support, and efficient, healthy vocal production. These universal techniques will equip you with greater vocal range and agility, stamina and health, confidence and power—and they can be applied across musical genres. Whether your specialty is rock, pop, r&b, jazz, country, opera, or musical theatre, my voice lessons will help you to prepare, practice, and perform at your best.

Sarah has taught me so much about my voice as an instrument. Sarah teaches voice for both singers and speakers. I started taking classes with her to work on my breath support and speaking style for a TV gig. Immediately, we got to work with singing exercises (which actually changed the way I support my breath when I speak). Sarah is supportive and calm in her lessons. Her home studio is a very relaxing place, so it doesn’t feel like work at all. She emails me after each lesson with a reminder of homework and setting up the next session with her is a snap! I would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to work on their voice, or anyone who wants to learn about the instrument they carry with them all the time.

I have been taking voice lessons from Sarah for almost half a year and in this time, she has improved my vocal range and agility tremendously. Her feedback for my original compositions is invaluable. I recommend Sarah as a voice teacher for students of any level.

Sarah Reynolds is an amazing vocal coach. Not only is she extremely professional, but she is charming, witty, fun, charismatic and challenging. Taking vocal lessons with her would only be a compliment. Thank you Sarah!!:)

-Penna P., Singer-Songwriter

I came back to singing after quite a long hiatus. My goals with Sarah were to get back in shape vocally, and feel confident going to Musical Theatre auditions; as well as reconnect mind and instrument. What I received in my lessons with Sarah was much more than this. My confidence not only as a vocalist but as an actor and in my personal life were rather low when we started. Sarah guided me through an amazing journey of self discovery. With emphasis on how our minds and bodies connect and using imagery that just resonated so well with me; Sarah helped me open everything up. My confidence grew and grew, which translated into my singing and life in general. My new mantra “assume success” is taken directly from the lips of Sarah Reynolds. Her future students are so blessed.

I had always thought of singing as something that my mom or my friend did well, and that someday I should really take lessons to see if I had any talent. I wasn’t sure about the talent part. I had absolutely no experience-no choir or singing groups as a child, and I had avoided karaoke whenever possible. In my first six months, with Sarah’s practical and fun approach, I am learning my range, and developing basic skills that I am excited to build on. Sarah explains things so clearly, in a way that someone without formal training can really work and grow with. I have also strengthened my speaking voice, and learned how to protect myself from the overuse that I am really prone to… my only regret is not starting sooner.

-Deb L., Doctor

I worked with Sarah from 2005-2008 after deciding to take voice lessons to improve my shower singing. Now I not only sing along with the radio better, but I find I often use her techniques in my daily life. When I’m feeling stressed, I remind myself to relax my face muscles. When I am leading a group meeting, I now know how to project my voice without causing strain. Sarah is a fun, caring instructor. During my sessions with her, I felt I was not only being taught by a teacher, I was being cared for by a friend.

-Anna Koon, Artist

I worked with Sarah to prepare a musical theatre piece.  This was my first musical since high school. I was nervous and wasn’t sure I could pull off an entire song on my own.  Sarah helped to calm my nerves and feel prepared.  I really appreciated the amount of time she spent teaching theory, timing, and structure.  I have a better understanding of how to use my voice and I can’t wait to audition for my next show!
