2. Modern Singer

I’m a little newer to discovering the Modern Singer, but it was love at first sight. They consider themselves a lifestyle magazine for today’s artist and they definitely live up to it. They cover everything the modern musician and singer needs in their tool belt like motivational articles, entrepreneurial tips, and a healthy dose of other fun, valuable content. I haven’t seen anything else out there like them. They are absolutely worth checking out.

Vocal coach to Sia, The Chainsmokers, 5SOS, Noah Cyrus, and many more... itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/liproll/id1448580251

Another one with an impressive client list, and was the vocal coach to the actor/singers on the former hit TV show Nashville, Valerie Morehouse is definitely one to keep up with in the singing community. She also recently launched a podcast called LipRoll, which brings me to number 4!

(Valerie will be a panelist at Vocal Masterclass: A Conference For A Cause coming up June 21-23 in Los Angeles.)

“Valerie Morehouse, a celebrity vocal coach (Sia, The Chainsmokers, Ozzy Osbourne, Jeff Bridges and more) is joined in each episode with world class musicians, songwriters, actors, and more to discuss how they use their voice to build and sustain an influential platform in a creative industry with a landscape that is always changing and evolving”. (Excerpt from the LipRoll website.) The episodes are really personal and valuable in terms of hearing real artists’ journeys. It’s a window into the reality of the music business and singing for a living.

5. Reena Gupta

Laryngologist (voice physician) and Laryngeal surgeon, caring for professional voice users. www.ohnifoundation.com

Los Angeles based laryngologist Reena Gupta is one of the best voice doctors I’ve come across. She is connected to the singers community and shares a lot of really cool stuff on her feed. Hopefully you don’t get freaked out seeing pictures and videos of vocal folds healthy and not so healthy. Vocal health is not something to be ignored. Every singer should get a baseline strobe even if they are totally healthy. If you’re in the LA area Dr. Gupta is teaming up with Mindy Pack for a three day Vocal Masterclass: A Conference For A Cause coming up June 21-23 in Los Angeles. Valerie Morehouse (number 3 above) will also be a panelist.

6. Wendy Parr

Vocal Coach to @reginaspektor @sarabareilles @littlebodybigheart @lynngvnn @themidnightofficial @morgxnofficial @theaces Founder of @theartistscircle
www.wendyparr.com

With a client list like Wendy’s, it’s easy to see she’s got her finger on the pulse of how to help artists find, express, and use their voices in a healthy and powerful way. I would not only follow her on IG, I’d sign up for her newsletter to stay in the loop with her latest blog posts and other news. Wendy also founded The Artist’s Circle which sounds amazing. It’s a safe and supportive community for artist’s and people who work with artists. There are events in various cities with guest speakers, challenging exercises, meditations, and a place for artists of all levels to connect with one another. It’s definitely worth checking out everything Wendy has to offer on IG and signing up for her newsletter. And, PS, she recently relocated to Los Angeles, so lucky us West Coasters.

Inquiries: natalieweissofficial.com/teaching

First of all, Natalie doesn’t take herself too seriously, which I love. Prepare yourself for some good laughs when she shows herself making mistakes or singing out of tune. But don’t let that fool you, she is a true professional. She posts awesome videos of herself teaching and performing. You can learn a lot just by watching her teach others. You must also check out her YouTube channel (HERE) and watch her Breaking Down the Riffs videos. She has a unique way of teaching riffs and they are great fun to learn and practice. I had the opportunity to take a Riffing class with her online and she was awesome and so fun to work with! She is such an incredible singer with a beautiful voice. I’m a total fan.

Last but not least, Nicolette Maas is another one who puts out valuable content that’s educational and inspiring. Her thoughtful posts say a lot about her and I’m quite sure she is loved by her students. I like her approach to technique. She’s confident and seems to be able to back it up by getting good results from her singers. I enjoy the clips she posts of herself teaching as well as her honest posts about life and her thoughts about singing.
