Amber Light Voice Studios

Lessons with Ben is simply amazing!
I’ve gained so much range, control and style through our lessons. I’ve been through a number of vocal coaches and Ben is definitely one of the best coaches I’ve worked with. Ben is a great singer himself.
I even made to 2^nd place in a singing competition through working with Ben.
Highly recommend anyone who wants to drastically improve their voice!

Amazing!
She’s a great teacher.
I think she’s some sort of musical genius and she’s got an amazing voice too.

I took a trial session with Andrea, and she is wonderful. She understands the art of singing and trains you to know what and how you’re doing so you can get better can wait to go back.

Andrea is amazing!!! Started with one class a year ago through a groupon and have been coming back weekly ever since! You’ll notice the difference in your singing within one session.

I grew up singing in musical theatre and had some vocal training between the ages of 11 – 16 in that genre. So I know what it means to do full warm ups, to access my breath/​diaphragm /​head and other more «formal» practical techniques. I am incredibly grateful for that training.
The trouble is, I haven’t performed in musical theatre in over 15 years! What I DO do, is perform in bands and write my own music and I never felt like my voice fit the genre or could cut through over the drums or guitars. I would come out of rehearsals feeling a little defeated, like my voice was strained and just didnt know how to make my voice sound like a real rock/​pop singer– even though everyone said I had a great voice.
I looked around before to find a good vocal studio, but in LA/​Hollywood (without a solid recommendation from someone I trust) I just didn’t know who to trust wasn’t going to scam me!
I decided to buy a Groupon at the end of last year on a whim and LUCKED OUT! I’ve now been taking lessons weekly with Ben. He quickly evaluated what I could do in our first lesson, he never skips warm ups (cuz that’s the foundation) and he’s always supportive and helpful.
And because of my background, he doesn’t take it easy on me and continues to challenge me with songs that test my agility and stamina. He asks what I want to focus on and hones me in on those areas. And he puts his «money where his mouth is» demonstrating the techniques he’s asking me to practice. Plus, he’s been totally open to — and even encouraging me to — work on my original songs, helping me feel even more confident in my new set.
I am incredibly happy that I found Amber Light and can’t recommend Ben more highly. THANK YOU, Ben and Drea!

I’ve taken 4 classes with Andrea so far and have absolutely loved my experience. She is down-​to-​earth and really knows how to put me at ease. I don’t like singing in front of other people and wanted to just get more comfortable for social events like karaōke or even singing at church. My lessons with her have given me a lot more confidence in such a short amount of time. Highly recommend. Thanks Andrea!

I have worked with Ben for about 2 years now and I have nothing but great things to say! I have learned so much about my voice and about music from him. Ben is an excellent teacher. He is very patient but he is always challenging me in order to make me better. I feel that my vocal ablities and confidence have improved dramatically as a result of working with him. Not only has he helped me become a better singer, but he has also helped me reach a lot of my goals and has helped guide me in a direction that I want to go in for my music career. I see Andrea all the time as well when I am there for lessons and they are both always so nice and supportive. I would definitely recommend taking lessons here to anyone!

I signed my daughter up to take lessons with Andrea through a Groupon. My daughter loved working with Andrea that we continued on after the Groupon expired. Andrea is a fantastic instructor and has built my daughter’s confidence with singing. She also encouraged my daughter to try out for a singing solo with her school’s vocal workshop in which she did and got a solo. It was an amazing experience for her.
I highly recommend Andrea as a vocal coach. She has great techniques to help improve your singing and performance, as well as being super supportive.

I’ve known both Ben and Andrea since the beginning of our college days, and worked with each of them on many, many projects. I can’t say enough about how comfortable and professional the atmosphere is when working with them. Not only do they have years of experience performing, recording, and teaching, but they are both VERY aware and understanding of what their students’ goals are and how to help them achieve those goals. I’ve seen students they took under their wings from the beginning — some with absolutely ZERO vocal experience — go from borderline tone deaf to someone I would gladly have sing for my own music. I have a lot of friends in the same industry who I DON’T go to for projects — when I know I’m working with either Ben or Andrea, I can relax.

Drea is the shit. She’s comfortable to be with and open to whatever genre of music you’re into and whatever you want to work on vocally.
She uses a proven method in vocal performance to help you reach your personal goals, but she doesn’t go by the book on it; she helps figure out what techniques will help you in your problem areas.
I’ve been to other voice teachers, and the often don’t know what they’re doing, but Drea really does. You’re getting a good one, here.

My daughter took lessons with Andrea, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. We had two goals in mind: 1) to hone my daughter’s skills when she’s belting out songs around the house (which is pretty much a constant thing these days), and 2) to work on the songs she had to sing solo in her school musical theater performances. The progress my daughter made with Andrea in a short period of time was quite impressive. Thanks to Andrea, my normally shy daughter had so much confidence when she performed her solos in front of 100s of people.
In addition to being very knowledgeable about vocal techniques, Andrea is sweet and encouraging. She definitely has a way with kids. My daughter always looked forward to her weekly voice lessons with Andrea, and she’s anxious to start them up again later this year.

I absolutely LOVE taking lessons with Andrea. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. Her patience and knowledge is really something to be admired. She has really opened my voice up and given me to confidence to go out there and sing knowing what I’m doing.
I look up to her. Her techniques and own vocal skills inspire me to work harder. If you’re looking for a vocal coach, look no further. :)

I started coming to singing lessons at Amber Light as a complete beginner. I knew nothing about singing, although I had secretly wished I could sing my whole life. I took the classes for fun and to learn a new skill. Working with Andrea, I was able to learn techniques I had never thought I would ever be able to do, and I actually can sing pretty good now! Classes with her are fun, relaxed and really focused. Her teaching style is perfect for beginners or advanced students because she can improve anyone’s abilities with her training. I reccomemd her to everyone who is even just a little bit interested in learning to sing. I came to just get a handle on my voice but I keep taking classes with her because I keep learning AND improving with every lesson! I cannot say enough about how much I love her as a teacher and I am truly blessed I found the best voice studio in Los Angeles!

I started taking lessons with Andrea back in Boston (and I am so lucky she moved to LA when I did, so we could continue lessons!). I hear a dramatic improvement in my voice during every single lesson — yes, every lesson over the last two years we’ve had together! She is not just an amazing singer herself, but a wonderful teacher. Whenever I struggle with a riff or a note, she pinpoints the issue and shows me a way to practice it. She guides our lessons, adjusting to the level I am ready for, so I have achievable goals every week. She also helped me break out of my shell — I am so much more confident in my voice, and it shows when I perform. I didn’t even know I was capable of belting melodies, and now it is almost effortless.
If you have ever considered taking voice lessons, come see Andrea today (the sooner, the better). Whether you are an amateur or have even earned a degree in music (like me), you can certainly learn something from her, if not everything about your voice, and be more proud of your singing! Thank you, Drea!

I have been singing my whole life and really needed a teacher when I moved out to LA last fall. I studied classically and primarily sang musical theater. My challenge was finding my own voice for my own songwriting music that was of a very different Genre.
Drea has taken my voice and worked miracles. Her teaching technique is VERY tangible and easy to understand and if you’re willing to do the work, you’ll DEFINITELY see results. Quickly. Each week, I hear my voice grasping new style techniques that give me the skills to find my own voice as a singer/​songwriter while still utilizing my underlying classical technique for vocal health.
Each show I play, I’m complimented by my friends for how much my voice has grown over the past year, and I owe so much of that to Drea and Amber Light Studios!
If you’re looking for a good voice teacher, this is the right place for you.
THANKS DREA!
