I am a working vocalist in Los Angeles and a professional voice finder. It's my passion to work with unique singers from all around the world and guide them in their artistic journey. Singing is a joy, an art, and a lifestyle to me. I'd love to share that joy with you.
Lessons can be done from anywhere in the world via Skype / Google Hangout / Zoom! All you need is an internet connection, some speakers or headphones, and yourself :)
Please have the song you’d like to work on picked out or if you prefer, I can suggest a couple songs I think might be suited to your voice/encourage growth for you.
Lessons begin with vocal exercises, which are the fastest way for you to learn what healthy singing feels like in your body. I’ll point out small but effective adjustments you can make to improve your tone and quality. We use these exercises to improve pitch, flexibility, placement, technique—you name it! Every lesson is tailored to your needs and abilities.
After vocal exercises we’ll move on to the material that you’ve selected. We’ll work with that song and I’ll help you identify adjustments you can make to sound your best!
It is always my first priority to avoid vocal damage. Throughout the entire lesson, I will guide you on how to sing safely and comfortably so your vocal chords stay healthy and flexible!
Lessons are $50USD per half hour and can range anywhere from a half hour to an hour and a half. I recommend at least bi-weekly lessons, and weekly lessons for shorter lessons. We are re-programming your muscle memory and repetition is key!

Hi, I'm Catherine Rose Smith.
Over 15 Years of Professional Training
I began my own formal vocal training at the age of five after my parents noticed I wouldn’t get off the karaoke machine at my Dad’s birthday party (singing Lion King songs non-stop, naturally.)
Since then, I have been obsessed with becoming a better singer and helping other people to do the same. I have trained with a huge variety of excellent and qualified teachers. My training includes musical theater, pop, R&B, and classical style vocals. All of my teachers have placed an emphasis on healthy singing, and thus I have an extensive knowledge of singing with support and avoiding vocal damage.
I truly believe that anyone can sing and everyone has something special about their voice. It is my passion to work with someone to uncover what that special something about their voice is.
Curious about what makes your voice unique? Book a lesson with me—we can diagnose your voice and talk about some of the things that are happening when you sing, both the good and the mistakes you might not realize you’re making. Introductory lessons can be just that, with no commitment to a lesson package.
