Monica Margolis, LA based vocal coach and founder of the "Monica Margolis Vocal Method" has been working performers for over 20 years specializing in teaching her vocal method to beginners thru performing artists!

Woodland Hills, CA (prHWY.com) May 26, 2011 - Monica Margolis, a Los Angeles based vocal coach and founder of the
"Monica Margolis Vocal Method" of vocal training is launching a new
website. Monica has been teaching vocal mechanics to singers, actors and
dancers for over 20 years. She has worked in theater
and film, appeared in variety shows, worked as a voiceover artist and
was chosen as Musical Director for the West Coast Dance Theatre.
Monica specializes in teaching her vocal method to artists at every
level of their career, from the young beginner to the major label
artist. Students fly in from around the country and around the globe
for "The Monica Margolis Method": the revolutionary approach to vocal
training and technique. It's easy to see why- Monica has collaborated on projects
with many world-class musicians ranging from country songstress LeAnn
Rimes to rock god Gene Simmons


Monica believes there are no secrets to singing correctly. If you use
proper vocal mechanics you will find what you are looking for. In
this pursuit she developed the Monica Margolis Method, which teaches
"healthy singing" whereby the student learns to sing using their
natural speaking voice, eliminating stress and pressure from the
vocal chords. Students also learn to rely on their diaphragm for
support and power. Because of its effectiveness, The Monica Margolis
method has become one of the most successful programs in the United
States. Monica's students have been accepted to some of the world's
most prestigious singing programs including Cal Arts, The Berkeley
College of Music and UCLA. Under Monica's guidance, many of her
younger students have been accepted to some of Southern California's
premiere performing art's high schools. Monica's students have also
been featured on shows such as Entertainment Tonight, Extra, The Teen
Choice Awards, Late Night with David Letterman, E! and Apollo Kids,
and in the publications Time, People, Tiger Beat and Pop Star
Magazine. Monica's clients have also had the opportunity to work with
A-list producers such as Tim Kelly/Bob Robertson (Baby Face, Boys 2
Men, destiny's Child) and the Wizard of Oz Production Company (Ricky
Martin)!


Monica's first stage was a wooden stepping stool in the living room
of her childhood home. Her great grandparents would sit on the sofa
enjoying her sweet renditions of the songs she was learning in
nursery school. At 2, talent scouts singled Monica out of the crowd
at school, which led to her first performance in front of a large
audience. She was hooked; even at such a tender age she knew singing
and performing would be a part of her life forever. Monica grew up
performing in the hit kid's performing troupe Starmakers. When she
auditioned she had no idea that the group was only looking for boys,
but once the director saw Monica and heard her sing, it was all over.
They hired her on the spot. With the group Monica toured all over
Southern California performing at celebrity functions, amusement
parks and many other venues, garnering awards and accolades.


Monica signed her first record deal as a teen and began teaching
vocal mechanics at the age of 18. This dual emphasis on performance
and teaching became a prominent focus in her blossoming career. She
often toured for a few days and then returned home to teach, always
remaining committed to her students and their progress. Over the
years Monica toured extensively all over the world, not only as a
contracted vocalist, but also as model, actress and voiceover artist
appearing in commercials for Johnson & Johnson. She even performed
for Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcus at her presidential mansion!
Returning to California, Monica was asked to be the Musical Director
of the West Coast Dance Theatre. For two years Monica created all the
vocal arrangements for the theatre while maintaining a busy teaching
schedule. Soon her appointment book was overflowing with students and
professional vocalists as well as celebrity clients and she decided
to dedicate herself to coaching full time. Monica has collaborated on
past and current projects with artists such as Multi-Platinum
recording artist LeAnn Rimes, Cindy Margolis- internet supermodel,
actress and TV Host, Natalie Raitano- star of the Pamela Anderson hit
TV series VIP, Dineh Mohajer- entrepreneur and founder of Hard Candy
make-up, Eyvette Barlowe- lead singer of the hit group (and Rick
James produced) The Mary Jane Girls and TV host, Angel Faith- lead
singer of the Platinum group No Secrets and now a solo artist, Gene
Simmons of Kiss fame, Stanley Clark, George Duke, George Clinton,
producer Danny Niam of the Cave studio who has worked with stars like
Justin Timberlake and Patti Labelle and Producer Charles Farris who
has worked with The Eagles, .

Monica also worked along side world-renowned vocal coach Seth Riggs
for over 10 years, however she graciously declined being an associate
due to her own growing following. Seth Riggs has made a name for
himself in the industry as vocal coach to A-list performers such as
Kim Basinger, George Benson, Michael Bolton, Belinda, Carlisle, Ray
Charles, Cher, Natalie Cole, Susan Dey, Kirsten Dunst, Sherilyn Fenn,
Robert Guillaume, Julio Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias, Janet Jackson,
