Through her guidance, I was able to clearly design my pitch; I identify with my audience, explain how I can help them and give a call to action.

I'm looking forward to the next sessions where we'll learn microphone and voice techniques and figure out how to shave off those extra 6 seconds.

Micayla De Ette is as good as it gets as a singer. She can give Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera,…read moreWhitney Houston, and Aretha Franklin a run for their money! Not only that, but she can teach! I should know. She's my voice teacher. I've always loved music and singing. From the time I was a little girl, I would sing along to all the Disney movie music from The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. In high school, I was in musical theatre, and I was a singing narrator in "City of Angels." That said, I never had a singing lesson. I just tried to repeat what I was taught. I was a copycat with no training, and it worked okay. Then, I met Micayla. She was leading the worship service at Faith Tabernacle Church in West LA, and my husband and I were completely blown away! She has so much passion, soul, and conviction. I thought, "She HAS to be somebody famous!" So, one day after church, I approached her about teaching me to sing so I could sing to my husband on our wedding day (which, by the way, was 2 months from that day). She had me sing something for her on the spot to determine how much help I was going to need. Thankfully, I am an okay singer on my own, and she agreed to work with me. Within the first 2 weeks, I already noticed a change in my voice ... and in my confidence. It was amazing! We went through the basics at the beginning. We exercised my diaphragm. She taught me how to breathe. She showed me the proper posture. She also evaluated my range, and it turns out I have a 3&1/2 octave range (Micayla has 4&1/2. Mariah Carey has 5.) We discussed resonance. She taught me how to properly warm up my voice. She gave me advice on how to care for my voice. She taught me to stop straining my throat. These are just the basics ... and then, she taught me how to really sing. Teaching is difficult, but Micayla is so creative and so good that it seems completely natural to her. She really pushes me outside of my comfort zone and gets me to go to the outermost boundaries of my voice. She is helping me build confidence, and I'm so incredibly grateful for that. What I appreciate the most about the lessons, though, is that they are specially crafted for me. It's not a cookie cutter, textbook lesson. She works with my range, my voice, my confidence, and the music I like and want to sing. Needless to say, my song at the wedding was a huge HIT! My husband was very emotional, and everyone there, including my closest family and friends, was totally blown away. Most people who really know me know I love music and that I did musical theatre, but hardly anyone who knows me knows that I can sing. I was incredibly nervous to sing in front of a crowd on my wedding day, but when I saw my husband's face and his reaction, it was all worth it. Micayla helped me make my wedding day truly special and personal. In fact, I was so impressed with her lessons that I signed up to continue learning from her! Trust me when I say she is worth every penny. If you have any other questions, check her out (her voice speaks for itself): www.facebook.com/micayladeette www.youtube.com/user/kayladeette www.soundcloud.com/micayladeette *P.S. She's available to perform at any function, and she can literally sing ANY type of music. It's pretty incredible.

I have always really wanted to take voice lessons. When I was younger, all my friends seemed to be…read morein voice lessons but I was already in piano lessons and dishing out the cash for both wasn't really in the cards for my parents. Thus I recently decided that I would check Yipit daily until a deal came up. You can imagine my excitement when a Lifebooker coupon appeared for a great deal on 4 private voice lessons. I purchased it immediately and waited until morning to schedule my sessions. I met Amber in Silverlake at what I assume is her studio apartment. She said she usually teaches in Echo Park but she had a bunch of online appts that day so she worked out of here. She looks pretty young and she sat with her keyboard set up and a chair facing it, which I sat in, in a very small bedroom. We started by going over why I'm taking lessons. I love music, playing the piano and singing, but I have a raspy kind of voice... which I like... but I have a difficult time hitting higher notes. And mainly I just wanted to kind of develop my own style of singing that would complement my voice. Amber talked and went over the basics for most of my lesson. It was informative but it wasn't really anything that I was excited to go home with or anything, plus I knew a lot of it already. But being the first lesson, I realized a bit of orientation was probably standard and would be helpful later. I was mostly excited for my next lesson though, as there wasn't a ton of opportunity for me to sing to even really get a feel for me as an individual. The next week I realized I wasn't positive where we were meeting as she said she "usually" meets in Echo Park but she also said she had a lot of online appts that day and since we were supposed to keep our lessons in the same day I wasn't sure if that meant she worked from home Wednesdays. I sent her a quick email about 45 mins before my appt. She responded about 10 mins before my appt. She was probably in another lesson and this was my fault for not really thinking about it sooner. But this did not leave enough time whatsoever to get from WeHo to Echo Park on a Wednesday at 5pm. Turned out that did not even matter because someone was blocking my car in anyways which has never happened before. I knocked on every neighbor's door only to find out the girl went to the movies with her boyfriend. I came inside right before the response from Amber saying we were in Echo Park. I responded immediately explaining the situation and asking if I could reschedule, or given that it was last minute, even relinquish one of my four lessons and see her again next week. No response at all I finally got a response the next day saying "Hi Melissa, As you read on your voucher, any cancellation without 24 hours notice, voids the voucher. I have so many clients to juggle that I can not afford to sit and wait when I could be teaching. I am so sorry but I must be consistent and apply the same rules to everyone." She offered me a discount in her normal $80 rates if I wanted to continue. Alright... Now I understand having to give up one of my lessons but there's absolutely no reason why I shouldn't be able to come back for the last two. Additionally, I explained the situation in time to have taken a cab and made the last 30 mins of my lesson, which still would have been cheaper than her $80/hr rates, so the voucher wouldn't be "void" (the phrase alone irritates me... Like she can't do anything about this "void voucher"... Like some sort of "system" will no longer allow me access. Ugh.) And no, I didn't read the fine print on the stupid voucher until this happened, after which I read "voucher MAY be void". And honestly, even if I had read that I would have thought, well I'm contacting her with a situation out of my hands, her studio hopping added to the confusion, and she didn't respond when I asked about rescheduling until it was too late. Of COURSE a business seemingly just starting out because there are no reviews whatsoever (except for the quotes of reviews she wrote on her site, which who's to know if she didn't just make them up. I mean... where is she quoting from anyway?) would want new clients to be happy. And even if the voucher does say that, why on earth would I want to buy extra lessons from someone who I feel just ripped me off? Anyways, she seemed nice at first, she seems like she probably has a good singing voice and perhaps she's helpful. I, however, will never know because I will not be going back. Plus I don't exactly see myself having warm feelings for the girl anytime in the near future.
