“Valerie Fahren is hands down the best voice teacher I have ever worked with.  For the first few years I was in Los Angeles, I floated from teacher to teacher and never saw much of an improvement.  Within weeks of studying with Valerie, I saw fantastic gains and my voice felt better than ever.  It was such a huge relief to find omeone who actually knew what they were doing.  My voice is very important to me and since it is such a delicate instrument.  It’s essential that I work with someone as caring as Valerie.”

“Valerie’s technique is unsurpassed!!! 

Since I started studying with her, my voice has become stronger, clearer, rangier. I have control and confidence that I never had before. I was a Shirley Partridge finalist for the VH1 series In Search of the Partridge Family,  beating out thousands of women nationwide for the role.  I just starred as Polly Peachum in a Critic’s Choice sold out run of The Threepenny Opera. And now I’m the first soprano for an amazing jazz group, Crescendo () who’s recording and touring the world and gigging all over Los Angeles. Val’s a talented singer and dedicated, supportive teacher and all around great person and friend.”

“Val worked with me from start to success, working bit by bit and adding each new part as I learned the last, just like it should be.    I worked with Valerie 2-3 times per week and within the shortest period of time I booked more shows than I could handle, including Broadway shows, booked all the way from LA!  In short, the sky was the limit, and anyone who hears of me learns to quickly associates me with great singing.  I really do owe her so much for her help.”
 
Miles Alden, Bobby C, Saturday Night Fever




I am a great singer! I can say that now thanks to my vocal coach Valerie Fahren.  I have been on Broadway, on tour and am currently in a hit show here in LA…  but it is only since I’ve been working with Valerie that I’ve truly begun to find my voice. I’m what one might call a reluctant singer… if that makes sense. I’ve loved to sing for years, but never had any real confidence in my ability. Since working with Valerie I have a new found certainty in myself and my ability… which, in and of itself, makes a difference in vocal quality.  In my two months as her student, I have increased my range, improved my breathing and stamina and have learned techniques that have kept me vocally healthy through colds and vocal exhaustion.  It would be worth it to study with her for those reasons alone, but the other fabulous thing about Valerie is her heart. She cares so much about her students and is committed to our growth and success. You can feel it in your very first lesson… there a safe place that she provides so that you can soar as an artist. I have complete confidence knowing that I am studying with a master who has my best interests at heart.

I am reminded of a quote that sums up Valerie and who she is for me.

“There comes that mysterious meeting in life when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can become, igniting the circuits of our highest potential.”   - Rusty Burkes

Thank you Valerie for showing me my potential and being a source of encouragement and inspiration as you guide me on my path to extreme fierceness!!

Nayo Wallace
The Lion King, Broadway National Tour, Lead


The results I have gotten with Valerie are nothing short of amazing.  Just ask the people who knew me 4 years ago when I didn’t sing a note.  Now, I’m singing opera, and constantly being asked to sing at events. After one event last year, one woman demanded that I record an album so she could buy it! And after singing in my acting class recently, my acting teacher (a professional singer for more than 30 years) said that the change in my voice in two years is “extraordinary.”
