• What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

  A lot of things are hyped up in Hollywood. Television, movies and music are all forms of entertainment that we as consumers love to enjoy, relax with, zone out and be entertained by. This is wonderful being a consumer of music, but what about if your dreams are to become a pop star? Well this is a whole different ball game. At this point all that matters is; how good you are, if your industry connections are willing to help, and if your talent and those connections happen at the same time, in that one moment that I like to call “Your break”. When preparation meets opportunity and you nail it, then you just might get that chance to live out your dreams of becoming a star. This is when magic happens. So let me tell you a little bit about how to create that magic. Let’s start with your talent. Regardless of what people say about becoming famous, talent and skill does matter!!! Everyone from Mariah Carey to Britney Spears worked their butts off to hone their exact brand of vocals, and it was not an easy road. Years of hard work, training with a celebrity voice coach, and never giving up their dream, is what made these artists voices so recognizable. Say what you want about Britney Spears, but every time you hear one of her songs, you know that it’s her. This is the difference between working with a celebrity voice coach, and taking standard singing lessons in Los Angeles. A celebrity voice coach knows that ‘how good you are’ is completely dependent on having your own unique sound. Almost any singer who’s got the chops, can learn to nail a Karaoke song. We take singing lessons; we memorize the techniques, get all American Idol on everyone, and we copy a song perfectly, but what does it take to be a real star? Well, you might argue that Kelly Clarkson, and Carrie Underwood were on American idol, and they became huge stars among countless others. This is true, but the reality is if you are someone trying to become an artist who is not on a TV show with 30 million viewers each week, you better come to Hollywood with more than your ability to copy other singers. You need to have your own unique sound. This is why you need a celebrity voice coach in Los Angeles much more than you need singing lessons. A celebrity voice coach will know exactly how to take all those techniques you learned from your singing teacher, and use those skills to help you find your own voice. This is one of the hardest parts about becoming a star. This requires digging down deep into who you are as a person and developing a sound that is uniquely yours. It requires knowing yourself, and let’s face it, most of us don’t really know ourselves. This is where working with a celebrity voice coach can be so helpful. Their expertise is in being able to analyze your vocal talent and your personality, and lead you in the right direction. This is why on American Idol, they helped Carrie Underwood to go Country instead of R&B or Pop. The celebrity voice coach on the show knew exactly what to do with her, and helped make her a huge star. On that same note, the Beatles would have never even made it on American idol. The point of saying that, is to reiterate that having your own sound is actually more important than nailing technique. I teach both to my clients. We start out learning all the techniques so that we can copy other artists perfectly, then once we know the basics, I work with you on your own personal style. If you want to become a star, then we find your own true voice. It took me years to figure out who I was as an artist and so I coach with the intention of saving you all that time. I am blessed with the gift of being able to help you find your voice. So all in all, yes, it does make a difference to work with a celebrity voice coach. There is a reason why celebrities hire them, and not standard singing teachers. The proof is in all those platinum records. I hope you enjoyed my article. Love, Aria Johnson The Golden Voice
