I've worked with many teachers for singing over the past decade - Mark is the only one who I've ever seen improvement from working with. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the craft and will meet you where you are. He also has a warm and giving energy which creates a very safe environment for learning. I started working with Mark in April 2023 and I still work with him consistently every week. My husband has also started taking lessons after seeing my progress. The improvements from where I started are night and day - I truly can't recommend him enough! read more

Mark is amazing! His skillset and personality are phenomenal. I came to him with almost no experience. He helped me open up my voice, my self confidence and inner voice in a matter of a couple months! Mark is very patient and also pushes me to do more, in a great way. The best kind of teacher! 10 stars thank you so much! read more

Mark Goodman Vocal Coach - Vocal Coach Near Me - Burbank, California

I can't recommend this voice teacher highly enough. His approach to teaching focuses deeply on the technical foundations of the voice. Rather than just working on songs, he breaks down the mechanics of singing in a way that is clear, practical, and empowering. He has a remarkable ability to explain complex vocal concepts--Every lesson feels purposeful, and you leave understanding not just what to do, but why it works. His focus on solid technique has helped build confidence, consistency, and a healthier, stronger voice. If you're looking for a teacher who truly understands the science and technique behind singing and can help you build a reliable vocal foundation, he is exceptional. read more

I'm a semi-pro musician (bass) with decades of experience playing live and on records. As an "old man" my main gig now is a live karaoke band. I'll sing a song or two when we play, and have always been able to muscle through those. In my previous bands, I've sung background vocals and, again, have always been fine. I released a record last year and am now playing live gigs with this project and, as I skew flat, I realized I needed some work on not only my pitch but my stamina and confidence. My previous experience with vocal coaches has always been awful. My "day job" is acting in movies and tv and, decades ago, I had a very famous vocal coach for a film where I sang. It was a horrible experience... his yelling... me crying... him berating... it only made me dread singing and I had an idea that vocal coaches were screaming bastards who felt they had to tear you down to build you up or something. I googled "burbank vocal coaches" and lo and behold the google gods were with me and I found Mark. This past spring I began weekly half hour sessions with Mark. Having had other teachers in my life, I can honestly say that Mark is one of the finest I've had. The best teachers make you feel as if you're their only concern and that's so true with Mark. There's progress with every session. I always walk away with something to work on and something I didn't know before. What a gift. He is insightful, funny, clever, gentle, encouraging, tough when he needs to be, backs off when it's appropriate, but *always* has the goal of making me a better singer. And... obviously knows his sh*t. You can tell when someone is full of bluster and ego and when someone has a wealth of knowledge. Mark is the latter. Regardless of how I sing, I now look forward to singing. I can get through a 2 hour rehassle without running out of gas. My pitch has improved. Most importantly, I look forward to singing and I definitely look forward to each lesson with Mark. Ultimately, music should be fun. Singing is something that should be joyous and something you enjoy. Yup, being a singer is the most terrifying role in music. You can't hide behind an instrument or volume or fashion. It's so personal. It's just you and your voice and the song. How fun is that? Mark's helped me remember that. read more

Mark is wonderful! Very patient and kind! He is really knowledgeable and my voice has improved so much, definitely recommend!

Mark is an excellent teacher and person. He has helped me make enormous meaningful strides in my singing. Strongly recommend!

I cannot recommend Mark more highly. First, a kind and encouraging teacher. Second, a great communicator who knows how to bring out your best. Third, he is not just a vocal coach but a voice mentor. Someone who can help you take your voice to the next level. Mark has worked with dozens of my dance students, helping many of them to reach their dreams of being on Broadway. I am currently studying with Mark and can tell you from personal experience that he can help you find your best voice, whether you are a beginner or a pro. PS. His rates are incredibly reasonable, especially for such excellent training. read more

Mark is not only an amazing vocal coach, he's also an amazing human being. Caring and very knowledgeable. One of the best. read more

Mark is absolutely, and unequivocally the best vocal coach I've ever worked with. He approaches teaching in a way that explains things so succinctly that you see, hear, and feel growth much faster as a result. He also teaches through immense kindness and encouragement, but with a firmness that won't leave you wondering if he's "just being nice." He's very honest about how long the process will take, and invite you to take joy in it. I've been with him for well over a year now, and intend to be for as many years as he'll teach me! Can't recommend him enough! read more

Is anyone looking for an Amazing (online) Vocal Instructor? If so, I have THE best Vocal Coach and he just now has some openings. Let me introduce you to Mark Goodman! Mark has been a Vocal Coach to the Stars for decades. He is truly the most remarkable and intuitive Vocal Coach I have had the privilege of training with! You see, 1 1/2 years ago, out of the blue, I lost the top six notes of my voice. I was devastated (only a singer can understand the level of despair of damaging your voice). I live in Panama. Mark lives in Los Angeles. Nevertheless, Mark agreed to attempt to "rebuild" my voice through online sessions. With a lot of work (and a lot of patience on Mark's part) I was able to regain all of the notes I lost and acquired a greater degree of control. I didn't know that it would be possible, but oh, am I grateful! SO...if you are looking for a Master Vocal Instructor, I highly recommend Mark Goodman! He is the BEST! If you are interested send me a PM and I will provide you with his info. read more

Michael's my favorite vocal coach and has nursed my voice back to health... I had nodules on my vocal chords which were hindering my range and Delivary... I've been working with him on a weekly basis for several months and grateful to be able to sing just about anything I want! read more

Mark saw me in a show so I went to him figuring he'd really know what I needed. And was I ever right ! He took me from a belt voice to a very different and precisely placed sound. Ive been able to expand my repertoire and sing a variety of different styles as a result of this new placement. I highly recommend him as one of Los Angels top singing coaches. He's also a wonderful person. read more

where to begin... Mark has been the biggest gift to me and my music. I was first introduced to him from Sam Babayan and I am so grateful for the guidance, positive encouragement and relentless pursuit of excellence.. I have been studying with Mark very consistently often 2x per week and now I find myself hearing even the radio with more discernment and understanding. I was a drummer first and really needed some ear training, structure and guidance. All I have received this and much more from Mark. I have also referred several clients to him and all have been thrilled. If you want to dramatically improve your singing and vocal range and especially pitch... Do not hesitate, mark is the man.. some dramatic before and after is my first album to second.. they are on itunes.. pre mark Album is called freedom for your soul.. The latest album is called Long way home.. lots of pitch correction on first album.. almost none on the later... Paul Greene read more

Plain and simple, there's no other vocal coach that makes any sense to consider knowing Mark is out there. There are plenty of vocal coaches in LA, and I'd been to a number of them before I found Mark, but he stands above for a few reasons - and now that I've found him I'll never switch. He's so good at identifying exactly what it is about your voice that's special and honing in on it and sharpening it, while also improving all aspects of your range, pitch, and tone. He's very familiar with all styles of music, and can teach the subtleties that help your voice fit whatever genre you're trying to sing. Mark also charges an extremely reasonable rate compared to some people and makes it affordable to go multiple times a week. In a little over a year I've gone from a shower / car singer to someone who is super confident with his voice playing gigs, recording, etc. Whatever your goals are with your voice, Mark can and will get you there, without a doubt. read more

A couple years ago, I heard a guy with an angelic voice singing in a racquetball court at the YMCA. I asked him how he learned to sing like that and he directed me to Mark Goodman. I've been taking weekly lessons from Mark and I LOVE working with him. My vocal range is expanding and my voice is getting stronger. read more

Mark is extremely knowledgeable and a gifted teacher in the way he shares that knowledge. He is always encouraging and his lessons are relaxed and fun while still staying focused. The progress I have made as a singer is astounding thanks to Mark. Whatever your style of singing I know you couldn't do better than choosing Mark as your teacher. read more

Honestly... where do i begin?? I've always been interested in singing but haven't had the will to actually do it since high school. A friend of mine recommended Mark and I've been with him for at least 9 months now. I was so nervous to start but got to know Mark & gave it a try. THANK THE LORD i didn't let fear get the best of me! Mark is amazing for many reasons. He's patient, extremely motivating, and the best of the best. He's a man of many talents but singing is one of his passions & he's so knowledgeable. I was a complete beginner and with months of lessons with him, him & i can both see such a difference in my voice. Singing isn't suppose to be easy! I can feel the work out that my throat/voice gets, it's so fun and I'm so motivated to keep going!! Extremely grateful to him and can't wait to see where the future leads. read more

Mark is such a good teacher. He is getting me to my goals of becoming a professional dancer that can sing as well! He is encouraging, patient, and he knows what's best for you and your voice! So glad I found him! read more

I have been studying voice with Mark Goodman on a weekly basis for over ten years. Mark has helped me with certain issues I have specifically for my situation ( I am a performer who has to use the vocal styles of a well known person when I perform, often) - this can be problematic and Mark has helped me so much tackling this particular vocal glitch. Plus as my voice evolves, Mark has been able to help me move through new issues as they evolve. I am devoted to Mark as a teacher, rely on him to get me through, professionally, some of my challenges. I highly recommend him for newbies and for pros. read more
