🎤 Let’s Be Real, Singers 🎤
You ever hit a note and think, “Why am I still struggling with this?”
Voice cracks, pitch off, breath runs out mid-line...
That’s not because you’re not talented. It’s because even talent needs training.
Yes, even Beyoncé still has a vocal coach.
Why? Because great artists don’t leave their voice to chance—they sharpen it on purpose.
💸 Our vocal coaching sessions are just $40 a class—that’s less than $1 a minute to invest in the one thing that literally carries your career: YOUR VOICE!
Here’s what we cover at Music Theory Studios:
🔥 Breathing Techniques that build vocal power and stamina
🎯 Pitch & Tone control to get you sounding smooth and on-point
🚀 Range Expansion, so you can hit those high notes with confidence
🎤 Stage + Studio performance skills that make you look and sound like a pro
🎧 Recording Prep so your voice translates crispy and clean every time
This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about getting serious.
🗣️ Stop guessing and start building.

Your ear is gold, but your mixes sound bronze.
And every time someone says “yo can you turn my vocals up more, I sound nasally or the beat is too loud can you make my vocals clearer? ”
—it gets frustrating as an engineer.
You know you got the ear. You spent hours working on the song. And Yet here you are making corrections on corrections. Its not the artists - its you. And you what you lack is the TRAINING.
And talent without skill?
That’s wasted legacy.
The AVID Pro Tools Certification Course ends May 20.
Get certified or keep letting your gifts collect dust.
Your call.

Fear of Staying Stuck
You’ve been grinding for years, but your at home setup is still stuck in 2018.
Let’s be real: you not building a career—you playing and its a hobby.
Every beat, every session, you feel it—you could be great if you just had the tools.
Pro Tools isnt just software—it’s your gateway to sessions that pay, artists that matter, and rooms that change your life.
But only if you stop stalling.
📅 May 20th. Be certified or be sidelined.
