I have a BA in Business Management so when i say she is an excellent teacher I mean it. She motivates students and she reminds me of the movie with James Olmos "Stand and Deliver". This is the kind of teacher we need in all schools. She always has a positive attitude and never in a bad mood. It's never boring in her class and everyone's is captivated by her teaching. Many students have passed their real estate license thanks to her. I also like that she always has a smile and has a welcoming demeanor. I also like that she never makes you feel stupid when you ask questions even though some of them might be lol. She's always well dress and well-groomed and never has messy hair or undo makeup. She really cares about her students and she never rushes to leave and will stay after class if you have any questions. I could truly say she goes beyond the Call of Duty. She seriously reminds me of Tony Robin's the famous motivational speaker. She encourages you and doesn't give up and that's why so many students have passed the exam. God bless her efforts . Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions I would be glad to answer them all..

If you want to sit and review with others I'd say you can go there and see the office and make a decision. For me, integrity is a huge part of it all. I am aggressive and I can't sit for a long time and listen to the others in class 'get it'. I'm doing real estate today and yet I am the client. Getting a RE license may not give me an advantage. It actually could be a bad thing. Limiting is a word. Intelligence, solid energy, and integrity... these are of great importance. That said, if there's no integrity the other two don't matter. I believe that this gentleman has integrity. For the Beginner this is a safe place to be. You'll never regret that you trusted him. He will guide you and protect you.

Vinny's class is the best acting class I've taken. He keeps the class on the smaller side, which…read moremeans everyone gets a chance to work on monologues, scenes, and even upcoming auditions. Vinny is a supportive teacher who gives honest and constructive feedback without being mean or discouraging. Unlike a typical acting class where you work a scene to death until the instructor is pleased, Vinny has you explore scenes and monologues with different objectives. This has been extremely helpful for taking direction in auditions and work, plus it keeps the scene interesting for you. If you were a football player you would practice in the off-season, which is exactly what this class is. It's acting practice.

I've been in this business for 13 years and I have studied with many teachers. Before going to…read moreVinny I had been out of classes for a year so I decided to audit some of the "best" teachers out there. It wasn't pretty! Felt like a lot of teachers were more interested about being the most recognized teachers than actually learning about their students! You go into these big group meetings where the teachers begin by telling you how great they are and how many celebrities they have trained. Luckily I ran into The Sport of Acting (which is Vinny's class) as soon as talked to Vinny I knew he was my teacher! It was only confirmed when I went and audited his class and saw how down to earth everyone was and how it felt more like a group of friends getting together than a class! Vinny is a great actor himself so he recognizes the struggles we all go through and he knows exactly what it takes to get you the job! His approach to acting is simple and direct and he will call you out when he sees something wrong! As far as a one on one coach Vinny is also great! He comes prepared to your sessions and when he leaves you are left with a sense of confidence that leaves you relaxed for the audition! The small changes that Vinny has helped me with in my acting are speaking volumes in the audition rooms!!!! If you are interested in learning acting in a comfortable non judgmental environment with no bs where the teacher will be honest with you and in turn allow you to be honest with him then check out The Sport of Acting and Vinny Gustaferro!!!

Richard Fredricks actually stunned me with his ability to return to me the voice I had when I was…read moreat the height of my professional opera career! I came to him with my voice in pieces...and he thoughtfully applied his pedagogical brilliance to release my many long-grown faulty habits. For many years I was a successful opera soprano free-lancing out of NYC, who, as the years went by, forgot my daily discipline, so I was totally foundering vocally when I found the guts to approach such an eminently qualified teacher as Richard is. I attended a lesson of a friend and was struck by the depth and clarity of his technique...by his ability to pinpoint exactly what technical aspect needed to be fixed and just how to adjust it. I had a tiny hope that he could at least help me to sing through a phrase. What a surprise that he led me back to the freedom and quality of the truth of my voice! My task now is to create a consistency of my easy technique. The intimacy which he has with vocal science is astounding. His ear, his knowledge, his integrity, his patience are mind-blowing. And...unlike so many voice teachers - he can easily demonstrate all that he asks. It has been decades since I have partnered the likes of Justino Diaz and Carlo Bergonzi. Since my relocating to L.A. I have hungered to be in the company of a fellow professional as Richard. We share more than memories of NYC, of our active careers and fellow musicians...with Richard I am returned to the atmosphere of the highest standards of performance vocally and dramatically. I have taught voice throughout my performing career. Neither I nor any of my previous teachers had the overall vocal knowledge this maestro carries within himself. It is indeed a privilege to study with Richard Fredricks! I call him my scientific wizard.

Former New City Opera and Met Baritone, charges $200 for a lesson either in person or online via…read moreskype. This fee is too high compared to what you don't get like a good pianist, showcase opportunities, connections, studio setting, or practice facility. Mr. Fredricks teaches in his tiny and filthy apartment (no studio!) in West L.A. He does not have a Masters, Ph.d, Bachelors, not even an Associates Degree in Music. He can't help you understand Music Theory, Sight Reading/Singing, or Music Business. He doesn't understand the current Music Industry how to get work, or audition. No job connections or friends who even hire his students for choral roles. Yet he expects students to pay him $200 per class. He's proud of these rates. He should only charge $50 per lesson lets be real. He can't even play piano very good and it's old, ragedy, and out of tune. Is he for real? So sad. R.F. was not a major star like Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti. He never was signed on major classcial labels such as Decca, Deutsche Grammaphon, Sony or EMI. There is only 2 entire opera works La Traviata and Roberto Devereux. Unfortunately he does not have any connections in the music industry. A gifted voice student would hope to find some work after paying these high fees. I see this as a problem in Los Angeles where we have tons of acting and music teachers who are so fast to take your money but cannot provide the service that one can have a career in this field even when the student has the talent needed. Sadly enough he does not even organize showcases for his most talented students or help them to get an audition in an opera house, theater, for an agent or manager. Most likely because he does not have the connections anymore. Mr. Fredricks teaches his own vocal technique. Many things about his technique are good; however, a vocal coach is like a medical doctor who cannot apply the same medicine for each patient. The entire technique is too mechnical forced and lacks natural smoothness and easiness which produces the beautiful belcanto sound we want. His teaching method is like the man too extreme focused on one direction there is no space for any other. His technique covers the tone too much and he never talks about the importance of head resonance and overtones which is important for all voices especially the higher ones. The correct application of head resonance guarantees a long lasting singing voice. UCLA Music Instructors think he's crazy so don't tell them b/c they will laugh and say "he's coo coo." USC fired him. Who knows why. If you trained with him you can't even mention it. He cannot play piano good and does not offer a pianist, you have to bring own piano player. The man does not understand pedagogy how could he since he didn't get a Music Degree. He lacks good communication skills and he yells at singers. Yelling at people does not help to find a inner relaxation which the student needs to produce a free and open sound. It makes it even worst when he pushes his limited baritone range up to sing along which the high voices such as Soprano and Tenor. How can a higher voice learn from a Baritone to sing their high notes who does not have those. He also does not provice proper warm ups. The student just came in to the lesson and must sing out of his full voice without even had the change to be warmed up suffienctly. Especially the higher voice need to find the connection to the head voice meachanism to reach easy and clear the top ranges. Starting with the darker vowels such as "o" "a" is not a good advise when we have to find first the head resonance and the mask placement of the voice by singing bright vowels such as "e" or "u" vowels. To sum it up, I am very sceptical regarding all those private acting and music teachers in Los Angeles and eleswhere who mostly take your money but cannot provide the entire musical training such as Music theory, piano, knowledge in the business of music (most important beside the skills as a performer), performing experience etc. one needs to make it in the music field; therefore, my suggestion is it to attend one of those local music programs on a community college or university where a student can get financial aid, permantl use of a practice room (which this private teacher never provide!!) because repetion is more important than the right voice teacher after the student has a clou how to sing. Least but not last a student obtains a music degree (bachelor, master, PHD) where he or she can also find a stable career in teaches music on a college or university full time, part time or later on after the promising career has ended. Stay away from Mr. Fredricks he proclaimes that only his teaching is the only true way. His credentials are questionable b/c most of the old guys who trained with him are dead and some still alive but they had big careers long before they met Richard Fredricks. In closing, he has a weird attitude but I'm sure he'll say that he's right.
