Introduction

I started Teaching Voice in 1985 while living in Glendale, Ca. In between Performing and Touring, I kept a small Studio of students. In 1996, we built a home in West Palmdale. In 2005 we built my Lancaster Studio, which opened its doors in January 2006 and did an Opening Night Event for the Cast of "Beauty and the Beast". I went from "3 to 50 Private Students" in less then 90 days. It has been constant ever since. Many students have gone on to professional vocal engagements, performing in different parts of the country and the world. Some hold recording contracts as well. Many of my students have received full scholarships to the University's of their choice. I've had 2 students with Producer Callbacks to The VOICE, one with a Lead Callback to Hamilton, one with a Callback for Evita (National Tour), two are the winners of the LPAC Scholarship, one currently in China with the Sound of Music Global Tour, one at Disney Tokyo, one attended NYU, five attended Berkley, one at Vanderbilt and numerous other prestigious Colleges. I enjoy watching a student come in with virtually no knowledge of how to sing properly and quickly learn how to implement the techniques I teach. Watching a student succeed is the pleasure I aim for. Success is achieved when "Preparation MEETS Opportunity".

I have been taking voice lessons from Donna Parsons for more than 4 months now. I had never taken voice lessons before I began with Donna, but I knew I needed a good voice coach to teach me the mechanics of singing. I had basically taught myself by imitating other singers, which had caused me to develop several bad habits through the years. It became evident that I needed to improve when I began auditioning for theater roles, and I was NO MATCH for the trained singers I was auditioning against. I was looking for someone to help improve my sound overall by teaching me how to maintain flow of lines while singing, increase breath support, increase my vocal range, and ease onto notes so my singing didn't sound forced or labored, but controlled. She has helped me do all of those things and more! From the first day she made me feel like I had the potential to be fantastic! Every week I feel like I make progress or learn something. She has an entire repertoire of teaching techniques that are creatively designed to teach all types of learning styles so that you can visualize and better understand her lessons. She is truly amazing! I would go into detail, but I don't want to give any of her secrets away. Bottom line is that you will NOT find a better, or more experienced teacher, and she is MORE THAN WORTH the price of her lessons! She really genuinely cares for each one of her students as singers and people. You don't get that kind of personal feel from most instructors. I am so glad that I found Donna!

Donna O Studio's reply

I enjoy working with you and helping you to understand not only where you are currently, vocally, but where you are going. Some Techniques are often harder to grasp until you simply "feel them"! It's at that point of understanding when the lesson is truly learned. I know you will understand what I just said as you experienced it just yesterday. C, it is a true honor to work with one who has given so much to protect our country.

Just after High School I was offered a recording contract. I then headed to college and studied Applied Voice at KState. I moved to LA, where I studied privately with Carol Newbar, Keith Wyatt, Frank Fetta, but ultimately was lead to Georgio Tozzi. I did multiple shows in LA, acquiring my AEA card, performed for LA Music Center Opera (a special show with Dudley Moore) and began touring with Opera Ale'Carte with Richard Sheldon.
