I'm Richard Fredricks and with me you will find the voice
teacher/vocal coach in Los Angeles who has done it all from
rap, pop to grand opera. If you need to improve your voice
as a classical or pop singer or to strengthen your voice for
the theater or public speaking or if you are a beginner who
just wants voice lessons for a shot at "American Idol", give
me a call!
As a former leading baritone with the Metropolitan and New
York City Opera Companies, I will give you the technique
I've developed and used during my long successful career.
This will help you attain your best singing voice, whether
you are a beginner, a professional in trouble or one who
just needs that extra edge.
As a voice teacher/coach I can raise your current vocal
level dramatically in the first lesson! I'll teach you to
produce proper flexible support for any vocal challenges
that a song or aria may present. While on the faculty at USC,
I raised every voice of my predecessors eleven students at
least a third and at least doubled the apparent voice in
their first lessons. I do it with everyone.
As a music therapist, I have fixed vocal problems through my
support and focus technique with Andy Williams, Pat Boone,
Renata Scotto, Georgio Tozzi, Ann Blyth, Howard Keel, Jerry
Vale, Constance Towers and a host of others who came to me
for help.
My studio is centrally located at the intersection of the
I-10, and National Blvd, one half mile east of the
interchange with the I-405. If you live or work in Beverly
Hills, West Hollywood, Bel Air, Santa Monica, or the Valley,
you are in my back yard.
