About
In 1985, I began Teaching Voice while residing in Glendale, California. Despite my busy schedule of Performing and Touring, I maintained a small Studio of students. In 1996, we constructed a residence in West Palmdale. Fast forward to 2005, we built my Lancaster Studio, whose doors opened in January 2006. I commemorated this milestone with an Opening Night Event, where the Cast of Beauty and the Beast was in attendance. In under 90 days, my student population swelled from three to 50 Private Students, and it has been thriving ever since.

Numerous students of mine have gone on to engage in professional vocal work, with some performing in different parts of the world. Additionally, many of my students have secured recording contracts, while others have received full scholarships to their desired universities. As of now, I have two students with Producer Callbacks to The VOICE, one student with a Lead Callback for Hamilton, one student with a Callback for Evita's National Tour, one student who has won the LPAC Scholarship, one who attended NYU, and many others who are currently enrolled or preparing to enroll at various prestigious Colleges.

Teaching voice has been one of my greatest pleasures, specifically when witnessing students who initially had little knowledge of proper singing techniques grow to become well-rounded and skilled. My ultimate goal is to enable my students to succeed, as I believe that success is achieved where Preparation MEETS Opportunity.

Donna was my instructor for the initial lesson this week, and it went excellently. After just one session with her, I am more confident about my breathing, which was my primary objective.

For over four months, Donna Parsons has been my voice coach. Prior to beginning lessons with her, I had no experience in voice training, but I recognized the need for a skilled mentor to teach me the fundamentals of singing. Although I had taught myself by emulating other singers, this had resulted in the formation of several bad habits over time. When I began auditioning for theater roles, it was evident that I needed to improve my technique as I was no match for the trained singers I encountered. Ultimately, my goal was to refine my overall sound by honing essential skills such as maintaining line flow while singing, enhancing breath support, expanding my vocal range, and perfecting note transitions to prevent my singing from sounding strained or forced, but rather, effortless and controlled. Donna has been able to guide me in achieving all of these objectives and more. From day one, she instilled in me a sense of confidence that I had the potential to become an outstanding singer. Each week, I feel like I'm making progress or discovering new things about my voice. Her range of teaching methods are innovatively designed to suit every learning style, enabling her students to better comprehend and visualize their lessons. I cannot praise her enough; she's truly remarkable! Although I would love to elaborate further, I don't wish to reveal any of her trade secrets. Ultimately, if you're searching for an outstanding and well-experienced teacher who will go above and beyond to aid their student's growth, look no further than Donna Parsons. Although her instruction may come at a cost, the benefits and reward are immeasurable. She truly cares about each of her students as both musicians and individuals - something that is all too rare in most instructors. I'm incredibly grateful to have discovered her!
