As I clicked on the option to rate this business with five stars, a corresponding message comes up on my screen, saying "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" I thought to myself, "how apt." I firmly believe that in terms of vocal teachers in a Orange County, Jennylyn Chung is as good as voice teachers get. Her traditional Bel Canto style of singing is especially what makes her studio so fantastic for every style of singer. I started taking lessons from Jennylyn because I had talked to one of her students, who recommended that I try a lesson with her. The voice teacher I had before Jennylyn had me straining and belting, which hurt in the process and eventually did negative things to my voice. For so long, I was under the impression that singing was work and that this wear-and-tear I was experiencing would eventually iron itself out, which is what my teacher seemed to think. She didn't seem to take my concerns seriously and brushed them under a rug. Right off the bat, Jennylyn started helping me rebuild my technique. Unfortunately, I had to start from square one again because everything I knew was strained. Since then, Jennylyn has helped me take almost all of the tension out of my voice and replaced it with comfortability, ease, and confidence. I cannot say that I've quite arrived in the time that I've been taking lessons from her, but I know that with every day that passes, I'm getting closer and closer to my goal. I'd recommend Jennylyn to anyone and everyone who is serious about learning to sing well. Don't waste your money with teachers that teach at a university and claim to be an amazing teacher by backing their argument up with their degrees. Jennylyn does have a Masters in vocal performance (if I remember correctly) from Cal Baptist University, but her experience in the real world, having been with countless misguided teachers, is was really makes her the most competent voice teacher in Orange County. Jenny's extensive experience with many types of teachers and teaching styles gives her a clear picture of what vocal students often go through. She knows a damaged voice when she sees one and she can help fix and repair it. Even for those without damaged voices, Jennylyn knows how to lay the foundations down so that you can reach your full potential, no matter where you've come from in the time that you've been singing. The bottom line is that if you want to take voice lessons with a teacher who really knows what technique to teach and how to teach it, come to Jennylyn. I can't imagine that you'd be disappointed. read more

First time around, I was confused. Wait, we start from bottom of range and build up to a higher range? I was used to being told by my previous teacher that I needed to start from middle of range and vocalize to the top to build on the lower range. What I did not realize is that her purpose is to get all of her students to sing relaxed with a neutral larynx position at a quiet volume and build up to a large sound once the vocal chords can relax from bottom to top without stretching the chords. The key is a gentle and natural zipping of the chords that occurs naturally when we speak correctly, however with a background of vocal strain some gentle vocalizing is required to build strength in the vocal chords so that you have one, unified voice and not two or three distinct voices. The whole process might seem unusual and unlike other teacher's you have studied from, but I assure you, she has spoken the most sense to me than any teacher I have ever had and I have had several at the university and throughout the seemingly professional community of south and north orange county. I am appalled that there are not more quality and caring and gifted teachers like Jennylyn. She is not only great at breaking down things in an easy-to-understand way, but she is a kind and giving person who will truly support hard-working and driven individuals. She will encourage you and challenge you and she will help you reach your goals, be that becoming a better singer for fun or a professional career. read more

Hello, I have only had three training sessions with Miss Jennylyn so far and I have to say that I am pleased with her commitment to my training and my improvement. We have recorded each lesson and with daily dedication to the homework she has given me during each lesson, I feel I have improved. I would recommend her studio. read more

Jennylyn is a great vocal coach and she really know's her craft. I enjoy going to her studio weekly and I can really see major improvements in my voice and confidence since July. read more

Jennylyn has the most beautiful operatic voice and an elegant presence about her. She sang at my wedding and not only was her voice powerful and melodic but she was also full of grace and refinement...which was a great addition to my wedding. It was a hectic day and, of course, not everything I had planned went as planned...but as soon as the the string quartet started and she began singing, everything just felt perfect. It was definitely one of the highlights of the night. read more

This woman has an amazing voice and is constantly growing in her understanding of vocal technique! She is very professional and works very hard to be the best teacher/singer she can be. We are honored to be a small part of her success! read more

Jennylyn is such an inspiraton and a great motivatior, and an all round incredible human. She connects your past and present issues to seek a way to help you deal with them or resolve them. read more

I've only been taking lessons for a few weeks and already I hear a difference in my singing. Jennylyn is very skilled at targeting exactly what you need to work on in terms of technique and bringing out the best quality in your voice. I also like the fact that she doesn't just teach just one genre of music. She also exposes you to everything from classical to jazz to pop. Her style of teaching makes it so your voice is versatile whether you're singing an opera piece or a Whitney Houston song. If you're serious about your career and/or passion in singing Jennylyn will help you reach your full potential. I highly recommend her read more

Mss. Jennylyn is not only a great singer but also a perfect voice teacher. She cares for your voice and supports her students very hard. I have been with her for 1 year and I can hear the difference in my voice by her training. She always encourages, and challenges me by picking a song for me, help to strengthen my voice and be confident in singing. I highly recomment you her studio if you really want your dream of singing become true. read more

I have been studying with Jennylyn for 6 months now, it was the best decision I have made when it comes to my voice. I have a job where I do lots of talking, this was causing me terrible vocal strain, it hurt to speak and sing. I truly thought my voice was gone for good. I tried different free online vocal lessons which did not help me at all. In my search for someone local, I ended up on yelp and found Jennylyn. I read all these reviews and then went and watched some of her YouTube videos and I knew she was the perfect fit for me. 6 months later and I have made amazing improvements! I love the Bel Canto technique she teaches, it is also very relaxing. When Jennylyn teaches, she doesn't just tell you how to do the exercises and techniques, she explains why and what your vocal chords and larynx are actually doing. She is not only a great teacher, she has an amazing personality and I feel a great connection which I feel is important in a teacher of the arts. read more

I have been to two recitals now for students of jennyln and both have been done with excellence, a great blend of professionalism and caring warmth is obvious. I would recommend this studio to anyone who is serious about taking their vocal performance skills to the next level read more

Jennylyn is a special teacher who will bring out the best in her students, at least that has been true with my case. I was under a lot of pressures from work, and needed an artistic outlet to de-stress, and I found her singing Italian Arias video clips, and reached out to her. I ended up signing up for her 8 weeks, and successfully completed it. I commuted after work 2 1/2 hours from LA to her Huntington Beach studio every week with a goal to finish the lessons off by performing at the Christmas recital on the last week with other students. Commuting was challenging every week with heavy traffic, but I am glad to have completed it because I started her lessons never knowing that I had a musical voice, and later learned that with a right teacher, anyone can learn to sing beautifully. She made me feel comfortable even though I was super nervous. In the beginning, she focused on teaching me basic vocal health, which helped me to be grateful and respectful for my voice box. Week after week, she inspired me and helped me to gain confidence in my voice. On my last week, I've caught a bad cold and almost lost my voice, and I wanted to give up, but she kept encouraging me to just sing very quietly with many breaks in between, and I should not give up so easily. As a result, with the limited vocal sound, I did my piece as well as the group songs, and did not feel nervous singing in front of other people. Thanks to all of her confidence building in me. I had so much fun and felt therapeutic from the lessons. I highly recommend her as vocal teacher, and vocal counselor. Most importantly, she cares for her students. read more

cannot get any better than jennylyn chung!!! she sang on my wedding June 2014 and I have no regrets of hiring to sing at our wedding. not only is she an amazingly talented singer, but she's super professional and very high class. there's really a major touch of elegance that she contributed to our special day that no amount of flowers, decoration or party favors could ever bring. not to mention that she saved the day after the last minute disaster of finding out that our pastor did not know how to sing the song he picked during our ceremony. read more

I know nearly nothing about music and less about voice and vocal technique, so bear with me here as I do my best to express our experience with Miss Jennylyn. Miss Jennylyn Chung has been instructing my daughter for over a year now. Previously, my daughter had attended community college instruction and had voice instruction provided at her elementary and secondary schools; all taught by 'accomplished professionals'. Oh, what little I knew! What a world of difference between those teachers and what this year with Miss Jennylyn has brought us! Miss Jennylyn is accomplished in her own right, but as a teacher- she has some of the the rarest of qualities. She seeks out the heart of my daughter, pulls hidden treasures from within, and identifies unique qualities. While strengthening my daughter's weakness in technique, Miss Jennylyn encourages her spirit and develops a beautiful, endearing confidence. As a parent of a voice student, I have learned much from Miss Jennylyn. She has taught me about music and voice, training and future school selection. Miss Jennylyn does this and so much more, all with gentleness, grace, professionalism, and precision. Beyond the phenomenal approach and technique, she pours into my daughter much more than singing or music. I could not have been more impressed than when I attended the first recital with all of Miss Jennylyn's students. With a range of ages, styles, qualities, and sounds, the vocal technique was consistent throughout, thoroughly enjoyable, and made me confident about our having chosen Miss Jennylyn, with a taste of what the future will hold for my daughter. These days, I love nothing more than to just sit and listen to my daughter sing. I hope to send all of the rest of my children to Jennylyn. read more

I was blessed to hire Jennylyn as the singer for our wedding. Our ceremony was in a large, old church in Fullerton. They offered their organist and singer, but since music is so important to me and my husband, we opted to bring in a string quartet and Jennylyn as the singer. It was truly beautiful. Her voice filled the entire church and her songs were impeccable. Guests told me they got goosebumps. I highly recommend booking her for weddings and events! She's seriously a show stopper. read more

My 11 yr old daughter has been going to Jennylyn's studio for the past couple of years and we just love her! I have heard my daughters voice grow so much it's unbelievable. She has taught her breathing techniques, and how how to read music as well. She puts on recitals a couple of times a year so her students get to show off what they have learned, and she encourages all of her students to support each other. My daughter has grown so much because of Jennylyn that she is going to apply for the Orange County School of the Arts, and Jennylyn is helping here with her audition pieces. She is an amazing teacher, I don't know what we do without her. read more

Jennylyn is not only a wonderful singer but a stunning performer. When she sings, all eyes are on her. Her performance is unique and full of passion. read more

I have been making my living as an audio engineer/producer for almost 20 years. Jennylynn is no doubt one of the finest vocalists it has ever been my privilege to record. Definitely NO AUTO TUNE Required!!! Not only does she have a fantastic voice but she also brings such a positive vibe to what ever musical environment she enters. read more

SO I've only been taking lessons from Jennylyn for maybe 3 or 4 months now but I already know that with her, my dreams and goals are in good hands! When I was first looking for a voice teacher, I did not know what to expect. I looked into online courses, different schools, and other voice teachers. In the end, I decided to go with Jennylyn... AND BOY AM I GLAD I DID!!! Over these few months, not only has Jennylyn trained my voice, she has also listened to my aspirations and my goals and my personal life and it really seems that she genuinely cares about making you the most successful person you can be. She also teaches differently from other instructors, making sure that her students have fabulous technique so that they can have the skill and confidence to conquer anything. She doesn't cut corners and she loves what she does. If you really want to take your voice/vocal performance to the next level, STOP SEARCHING! GO WITH JENNYLYN! I promise you won't regret it! read more

I have been with Jennylyn for 3 years and my voice has been transformed within these 3 years! First, I love the classical bel canto technique that is taught, no voice teacher has ever shown me this technique. I find myself singing jazz, pop, musical theatre and opera! I love how the studio isn't specific to one genre of music and the vocal technique taught can be used for any type of genre. Jennylyn loves each and every one of her students, she believes in them and is very supportive which is rare to find in a vocal coach. She cares for your voice, training you in a way that can last a lifetime instead of what sounds good at the moment and then your vocals are sabotaged. I cannot wait to see what the future holds and how my voice will continue to grow, I got my confidence back in my voice and, most importantly in myself, to me that is priceless. If you're looking for a vocal coach to really make a difference for you, this is the place to come to. read more
