Introduction: If you've been studying without the desired results, I guarantee that I'll get you the results! I can help you with the following: * Increased vocal strength * High notes without strain * Diaphragm control * Intonation * Vocal placement * Microphone technique Don't just learn vocal exercises. Learn to sing! Gene founded The Gene Townsel Studio of Theatrical and Musical Arts in Los Angeles, where artists such as Scat Man Crothers and Marques Houston of Immature, now IMX, were regular clients. He also founded The Balance Town Music Publishing and Production Company and The Artists Against Drug Abuse Program in Los Angeles, California. As a vocal coach/teacher to professional and aspiring artists for over 40 years, Gene has used his experience as an internationally acclaimed singer and his formal training (Florida A&M University) as a vocal music major to help his students develop the tools necessary to be competitive in the industry. Some of his more notable students are Academy Awards nominee, Margaret Avery ("Sug" Avery/Color Purple), Verdell Brown (keyboardist with Gladys Knight) and Damon Hines (Lethal Weapon) and has arranged scores for "Moesha" star, Sheryl Lee Ralph, at the beginning of her career in Japan, as well as having been instrumental in the development of many other gospel and secular artists. In 1997, while still residing in Los Angeles, Broward County, Florida, declared a day in his honor, "Gene Townsel Appreciation Day." Gene has had a long and successful career as a top-draw entertainer from LA and NY to Asia. He has performed with and done backup vocals for the likes of Dusty Springfield, Lou Rawls, opened for Bobby Bland and many others. He has done arrangements for many well-known entertainers. After over 23 years of having a successful music studio in Los Angeles, he has only recently relocated to Florida to be near his aging parents. Gene's studio is in Boca Raton Florida and he still performs as a solo artist and conducts singers workshops for aspiring artists. It is very rewarding to see aspiring artists who work hard and apply themselves gain control over their voices. There is nothing like a seeing an unsure nervous singer develop into a confident expressive one.

Just had my first lesson last night, and I was impressed with Gene's knowledge as well as the areas he has targeted for me to improve. I can't wait to see the difference he makes in my vocals.

Gene is an exceptional voice teacher! I was amazed at how quickly he identified exactly what I needed to work on. He is very articulate and explains the mechanics of singing in a way that is easy to understand. In only 3 months of weekly lessons, I improved more than in 20 years of singing. You won't find a better teacher than Gene and I recommend him without reservation!

I wish I could select all five for Gene, he really is a great coach, he takes the time to explain what he means to where you understand. I have increased strength in my voice along with increase in my range and I am currently in the process of taking a package lesson from Mr.Townsel . If you listen to him and believe in yourself he can take you very far.

I have worked with Gene for 4 years and I can’t tell you the amount of progress that I was able to gain with my vocal ability. I’m now so confident in myself and have accumulated a lot of opportunities as of result of his trainings. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for get lessons. He is patient and has tons of professional experience in the entertainment industry.

Gene knows his stuff. He's given me some concrete tips on how to project better, and he's got me practicing. (I hate him for that) ;>) He's the goods, I recommend him. And he's a nice guy.
