About Me


Voice Technique and Performance coaching
Rachel Lynn has opened up her home studio to students who are serious about improving their vocal technique and becoming better performers, both in the Studio and on Stage.
"I make a living with my voice and so can you...Some people say that you're either HOT at recording or HOT at performing. I'm here to say that you can be both. If you're wanting to perfect your craft from head to toe then I'd love to speak with you."

The Studio:
The RL Vocal Studio is located near the corner of Lincoln Blvd. and Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica, CA. There is ample parking available for students and no parking permit is needed for up to two hours. RL also teaches kids of all ages at All Access Musician Studio in Sherman Oaks.
Ask about house and recording studio visits for onsite coaching for those who can't make it to either RL studio location.
RL Vocal Session:
At your first session, RL will recognize immediately where you are in your vocal development and work with you to create a personalized workout.
'As a student of voice it was very important to me to always be challenged and to always learn something new. I didn't want to feel as if I was doing arpeggios that I could easily be doing at home. In that same light: I want my students to know that they're improving by being on top of their progress and moving with them to whatever level they're willing to work for.'
All sessions that follow involve an extensive vocal workout, troubleshooting and caregiving, recording or performing technique practice and always end with a small career coaching and inspirational session.
'I like to be familiar with what my students are doing with their career and support them in any way that I can. Career coaching isn't something I've studied...it's something that I naturally do with my own peers and other area musicians. Remember that your success is my success: I know that to be true on a very literal and spiritual level.'
Each session is recorded on a CDR for you to take home.

Philosophy:
'I can't tell you how many friends and fans have come up to me and said, 'I've always wanted to sing.' or 'If I could have one thing in the world, it would be the ability to sing'.

Well, here's what I believe: I believe that we can have anything we desire. Yes, anything...and I'm the first to agree that some people have 'natural talent'. But, even those people had to choose to recognize and improve their talent...and you can too. First you have to get out of the 'comparison' mode that we've been brought up with, ex: "I can't sing like her, but at least I sing better than her"...because let me tell you: If you're not the absolute BEST that you can be, then what's the use of comparing? (and this applies to the most ADVANCED of singers) You'll always short side yourself as long as you're one little step above someone else. I'm here to help you recognize your talent and to develop it to whatever capacity and to whatever level you're willing to take it, so you can be your best.'

Technique:
Every smart vocalist begins and maintains their craft with correct singing technique. Simply 'singing from the diaphragm' doesn't cut it for the professional and RL is here to show you what does. She will create an individual workout for you that strengthens and tones your vocal muscles so you can sing into that mic with total confidence.

RL's technique is a combination of basic Speech Level Singing and 18 years of experience: simply put.

'What works on paper doesn't necessarily work in the studio and many times hasn't worked on stage...unless it is practiced. There are simple lessons to be shared and exercised for those 'heated' moments of vocal anxiety. Those moments can and will be in the past for you. Knowledge is power.'
