What Makes Us Different
Hollywood Vocal Studios specializes in attaining a perfectly balanced voice—the ability to move from low chest to high head voice with no breaks or changes in resonating quality. Through their unique applications of the Speech Level Singing (SLS) technique, HVS’s Master coaches have helped all types of singers hone their technique and finally dominate their mix, a common struggle for even the most talented singers.
Speech Level Singing was developed in the mid-20th century by Seth Riggs. Originally based on the bel canto technique, SLS trains the vocalist to utilize the vocal cords while singing exactly as one does while speaking. Because it aims to isolate one’s vocal cords and intrinsic muscles in order to move as “naturally” as possible, it is applicable to every genre and style of singing. During his time as a coach, Seth worked with all types of singers, from jazz legends like Nina Simone to pop wonders like Michael Jackson.
Hollywood Vocal Studios’ teachers studied SLS under Riggs for over a decade, eventually rising to the roles of Master Coaches. Today, HVS coaches bring this technical foundation coupled with their real-world experience in Hollywood in order to best serve each individual student’s technical, stylistic, and professional-based needs.
By studying with their best-in-the-business coaches, Hollywood Vocal Studios can help you achieve your wildest musical dreams.
