Brian is hands-down one of the best vocal coaches out there. He really understands the anatomy and science behind singing, and he explains what's happening in your body in a way that makes it easy to understand and recreate on your own. He's not cheap, but he's absolutely worth it if you want to learn efficiently instead of spending money on endless lessons that don't move the needle. I've been learning from him for almost a year, and I've learned so much more in that time than I did in four years at another studio. Thanks Brian!! read more

A little update here on yelp. It's only been four lessons, but I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate you by saying thank you very much for doing what you do!!! Music has always been there for me through many difficult parts of my life, but I've always felt like there was this gap between music and I that I could never close. I never felt like I had any talent to immerse myself, or further myself in it. Always just singing to myself, or when I'm alone, because that's the only time I have the courage to explore my voice. I have to say I've never felt this great singing before and it's only been four lessons. This year for me is big on self investment and rediscovering myself and where my interests/passion lies. You've gotta take some risks in life sometimes and taking a chance on vocal lessons with you has been by far one of the best decisions I've made in a while!. I'm still super stoked and I'm looking forward to what's to come!! Thanks voice dad! read more

In my personal opinion, I felt the cost for the lessons were a bit high compared to the other classes I've tried in the past but I hoped with the recommendation and reviews I would be paying more for better coaching. In the past I've taken classes as low as half of what Brain charged but I felt no improvements from those lessons. I'm now going a little over 2 months being coached by Brian and have noticed much improvements and an better understanding of my vocal/singing. In conclusion if your looking to improve your voice/singing, Brain is the person to reach out to. Pay for something that will give you results, no matter how cheap the other lessons might be, would be wasted if there is no improvement right? I'm providing an review with no filter and honesty so just reach out to Brain and find out yourself :) read more

Brian Lin Voice Studio - My practice station - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Pasadena, California

The 5* reviews say it all. I don't have much color to add except that Brian's language skills (Mandarin in particular) were helpful as I wanted to hone my karaoke chops (yes, this was my goal with Brian..he didn't even blink). Take the time to find your joy. If it's singing, Brian will definitely help you, and you'll leave every class with a huge smile on your face. read more

Omg my profile pic is old I need to change it Anyways....Brian is an amazing vocal coach. Growing up I was always in choir but never had the chance to shine, now that I'm working with Brian he's been helping my voice to it's full potential. One main reason I knew he was legit was because he figured out I was a choral singer in just the first 10 seconds and we're working together to get my voice to be more amazing ^__^ His teaching is unique because it's not just "relax" "breathe in stomach" he's the only one that I've met that EXPLAINED THE MUSCLES IN YOUR THROAT AND HOW TO USE THEM! There is a genuine scientific approach you won't get anywhere else! read more

I studied voice "old school" and thought that was it. Brian's "current school" methods go beyond--way beyond. My vocal range increased within a couple of weeks but more importantly the strength of my voice which in turn has tremendously increased my confidence. Noticeable difference according to the guys in the band. Terrific warm ups which are fun and challenging. Brian gives great feedback and visual cues that help make the new stuff imaginative. He can be very technical as well and nonjudgmental. Some of the songs I bring in are out there but he's so good and quick to help. I wish I had discovered him a long time ago but just glad for the opportunity to work with him currently. THE BEST vocal instructor I have ever had! Worth every penny! Plus he's a super nice guy! read more

As a singer that loves to sing in heavier styles, Brian is the only vocal instructor that has been able to guide me in the right direction without compromising my sound. I was unsure about trying out for The Voice/America's Got Talent, but he really built my confidence by helping me out with the technical and physics aspect of singing in general. Because of his great coaching, I finally became confident to at least try out. Brian is the only vocal instructor that I feel is able to understand the voice I want to have when I sing. I feel like other vocal instructors pale in comparison to Brian's coaching as Brian's coaching extends to not only deep intuitive knowledge of singing, but also deep knowledge of the physical voice. He can coach every genre, which is super important to me as I love to push the limits my vocal training. I was actually blown away from the first session we had because of his vast array of knowledge of not only the voice but also the physics behind it. Thank you Brian for all of your brilliant coaching! I look forward to our next coaching session! read more

I contacted Brian for lessons for my eight year old. He has been extremely helpful in helping her grow her talent and he does a really great job explaining what it is that she needs to do exactly. He has a gifted voice himself and is great working with children and a really helpful and wonderful coach. Not everyone is good working with kids and that was a concern of mine, however Brian has been great all around and very encouraging, and our family loves working with him. read more

Brian is an excellent voice coach! I've been working with him for over 4 years and every time we work together I feel like I'm learning something new. He's very good at providing details on what I'm doing well and what I'm doing wrong from a vocal perspective. If you've worked with a typical vocal coach before, you will tell the difference in how Brian coaches versus the others. A typical coach will just tell you what you're doing wrong, however, won't tell you what to do to fix it. Brian will provide technical details as why to youre not singing correctly and will work with you to help you sound better. I encourage everyone to give him a chance and you'll see the difference Brian makes with your voice. read more

Brian Lin Voice Studio - Doing a recording session with the man Brian himself! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Brian has a gift. Scratch that, Brian has many gifts. Among those gifts is an ability to translate his deep understanding of the scientific mechanics of the human voice in such a way that makes singing easy to comprehend for someone with no former knowledge of vocal control (me). He also has the ear to be able to offer precise personal feedback, and does so in an encouraging, enthusiastic manner. Not only can he help anyone unlock the potential in their singing voice, he's just a really good dude. 100/10. Stop looking, he's the coach you want. read more

Brian has a very complete understanding of how the human voice works and with his direction, he's set me on the correct path to building my voice. He doesn't have you make weird noises without giving you an anatomical reason for why you're doing it. He explains what that noise is enabling you to do which gives you something physical to pay attention to as you're trying to adjust your mouth in all the relevant places to create the sound you're going for. It's like if you're learning an instrument and he teaches you all the finger positions on it to play each note. This is the complete opposite of how I've seen teachers typically try to teach singing. I come from having no real experience in singing. I tried a few lessons years ago with a teacher who took a very classical approach and I understand it's unreasonable to try to see results after like 5 lessons, but what I remembered from those lessons is very abstract ideas to hopefully get me to produce the correct sounds. Stuff like being told to put the note in my chest and push it up or being told that I should loosen up or saying whoo while pointing into the air as if they're guiding the note out of my body or being told that I'm grabbing while trying to sing higher pitches. What was I trying to grab? I don't know. There were a lot of these types of rituals and I feel like I was being sold snake oil. These kinds of abstract instructions are used in place of actual science and come from the same paradigm as bloodletting and ice pick lobotomies. It's as if classical style teachers' curriculums are based on metaphors that try to describe the mechanics of the voice and a students compatibility with a teacher is if they vibe with those metaphors. Brian however is a man of science and his approach made me understand exactly what was causing my shortcomings. He starts you off with making weird noises too, but that's just used as a learning tool for beginners. Once you fully understand his explanations and study the sounds and the mechanics involved from his lessons, he starts treating you like an adult and gives you directions in terms of muscle movements and not abstract noise making that other teachers would base their entire curriculum on. It's almost like a prerequisite for his lessons is an anatomy class, but if you didn't come prepared like me, he gives very easy to understand explanations of everything you need to know. He has a very sensitive ear and it's obvious he's heard many people's voices and can instantly identify why you're making sounds the way you are because of his years of experience. He has the solutions to the problems with your voice and can give you instructions on how to clean up your sound and work your way up to your goals. I've been trained classically to play instruments so I was coming into this expecting to do the same thing. Work on stuff I don't actually want to play for months to build up to what I actually want to do. I was pleasantly surprised that wasn't necessary since my goal is more pop, rock, and r&b, which are the styles that Brian himself is into. His teaching methods focus on getting you to where you want to be as fast as possible without ignoring the fundamentals. It's like he has the fundamentals for the voice that are absolutely nonnegotiable for everyone then builds a unique experience for each student on top of them. His rates are higher than what you might see against other teachers who might even charge $50 for a whole hour, but you will probably end up spending the same amount of money but way more time to get to the point Brian can get you within a couple lessons. Some things are worth paying extra for and correct information from a guy who's pretty laid back is one of them. I'm not wasting time trying to decipher vague and abstract notes from my lessons, it's clear to me after every lesson why I'm struggling and what I need to do to improve. The only shortcomings at this point are the current physical limits of my voice and I will continue with Brian to push those limits to where I want to be. I'm very lucky to have found a teacher who cares about complete comprehension like I do. You can keep asking him "but why" and he'll be able to explain it down to the atom. read more

I contacted Brian after I was wanting to get back into singing after many years of taking no lessons. Throughout my teens and early 20s I studied classical voice. I decided I didn't want to pursue becoming an opera singer and my involvement in music kind of fell by the wayside. Coming back to singing I really wanted to concentrate more on popular music, jazz and blues from the primarily from the Big Band era (1930s, 1940s) because I have always loved the greats classics from this era. I had always loved all the great female singers of this era like Ella Fitzgerald and Lena Horne but had no idea I could have a sound like them until I started working with Brian. Singing classical, I pretty much just stayed in the range of a lyric coloratura soprano, so my lower/middle voice was never even developed . Brian has helped me discover new facets of my voice I didn't know were there. I like that he is very knowledgeable of the human voice and always knows what to recommend to make my voice better. I like that he is constantly offering me challenges everything we have a lesson because this makes me a better singer. I highly recommend you take lessons with him if you are looking for a great teacher who can help you develop your voice! read more

I had been suffering from chronic, recurrent sore throat and voice hoarseness that made it difficult for me to even have conversations with people. It had gotten so bad that at one point, I could barely speak above a whisper for more than a few sentences at a time. I realized I needed a vocal coach to help me learn how to phonate properly. My wife found Brian's coaching program and referred me to him. Within my first coaching session with Brian, my voice was already sounding better, because I learned within my first session how to recruit different sets of muscles involved in formulating different parts of my voice. This allowed me to redistribute the workload away from the vocal muscles that I had previously been overusing. I've now been training with Brian for about 2 months and my sore throat issues have almost completely resolved. I even recently got a cold, but it didn't cause my voice to become hoarse like it used to in the past, since I'm now utilizing a wider range of vocal muscles to speak. And because the coaching sessions involve singing, which gives me the opportunity to practice how to properly recruit the different vocal muscles for different notes, I've gone from barely being able to talk, to now being able to decently sing different genres of music, which for me is a dramatic improvement. Brian demonstrates an extensive knowledge of not only how to effectively coach people in maximizing the utilization of their voice, but also has an impressive and intricate understanding of the muscular anatomy that is involved in vocalization. This allows him to quickly pinpoint problems in vocalization and provide specific adjustments to solve the problem. My daughter is also training with Brian, and he is very patient and friendly as he coaches her, and as a result, her vocal development has been amazing as well. All around an outstanding vocal coach! Thanks Brian! read more

Brian is an extremely kind, competent, and personable vocal teacher and I'm SO glad I had the opportunity to learn from him as my first voice teacher. As someone who had grown up primarily singing church choir, I enjoyed singing, but wanted to feel more confident in my ability to develop my voice properly with professional help. My goal with voice lessons was to be able to understand my voice better, sing with better technique, and gain more confidence with singing around other people. While working with Brian, he helped me access and play with new vocal registers in a short amount of time (just under a year, with lessons roughly every other week). Brian knows how to break the lessons down in a way that makes proper singing technique feel clear and accessible, and I could always trust that he knew how to both challenge me while also supporting me with the right training to get to the next stage with my voice. I highly, highly recommend working with him if you're a professional singer, or if you're just looking to take on a new fun personal goal like I was! I miss working with him a ton and would love to restart lessons again one day once I have the capacity to take on more lessons. Brian helped me feel capable and confident in myself as a singer, and I can't thank him enough for that gift (: read more

Words can't fathom what an amazing teacher, vocal coach, and person Brian is, but I'm going to give it a shot! I have no singing experience (other than sounding like a dying cat at karaoke), trauma from when I was a kid (forced to sing in front of a crowd with no preparation and being laughed at for a good solid 7 months), and overall just having a not so confident personality. But I love music and I love to sing. Being immune compromised, I didn't want to live a life full of regrets and a bucket list unchecked, so I decided to invest and take vocal lessons before COVID had a chance to get me. Of course I was hesitant due to many reasons and it took me 4 months of research before I found and contacted Brian. My main priorities were to make sure that the instructor I went with was able to teach me to sing in a safe way but also knew that practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. I'm a kinesthetic and visual learner so singing was definitely a challenge since everything was now virtual. BUT YOU GUYS. I don't think it would've made a difference if the lessons were in person or virtually because regardless, Brian is so good at what he does, he makes it work. Brian is all these things: extremely knowledgeable, detailed, adaptable to your learning style, so patient, encouraging, kind, engaging, understanding, super funny and will give you a loving kick off the cliff of fear and you won't even be mad cause you know he deeply cares. But what I loved most about my experience with Brian, is he made me fall in love with the journey in using/expressing a voice I never knew I had in a space that felt safe and with no judgement. He also put up with me and my annoying reluctant personality so that's a plus! I also loved that Brian isn't salesy or money hungry. If you're a noob, a pro, browsing or at your wits end, look no further! This is your sign. Contact Brian! I've had to put my lessons on hold unfortunately, but I won't be going to anyone else when I come back! Thank you Brian for all that you do! read more

There are good teachers and there are great; Brian is great. Brian--like us--loves singing but didn't have a strong voice to begin. He started taking lessons when he was 17. My theory is that because he started when he was older, he knows how to articulate the technique needed to improve the quality of the voice. By the end of the first lesson, my daughter (16) and I witnessed immediate improvement in our voices: amazing. We knew Brian was special, so I brought two other members of our family to him. My son (14) didn't like singing--rarely sang--but now loves it. And my tone-deaf husband even took lessons--mostly to enhance the richness of his speaking voice. He can carry a tune now. read more

Brian's approach is unique in that it really breaks the art of singing down to a science. I've been out of practice for years and his guidance has allowed me to not only regain my voice, but also take it to another level. I highly recommend Brians teachings for anyone looking to unlock the full potential of their vocal ability. 10/10!! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Brian. I've been singing for over 10 years without a hint formal training. I've always just tried to copy my favorite artists and, more recently, looked through YouTube coaching videos. I picked up a few good things from those videos, but I felt I wasn't really getting to where I wanted to be, so I went online and looked for a coach. I was hesitant about getting lessons because of cost and there's no guarantee they'd work. On top of that, I decided to get coaching right as the COVID pandemic hit. All coaches had moved their classes online, but I was really looking forward to in person classes because I thought there were going to be things my coach wouldn't be able to catch online. Any good coach can add value, but Brian made me a believer in what a great coach can do. He catches even the most minute things and has an abundance of knowledge regarding technique and exercises to address your weaknesses and push your strengths further. I'm well on my way to re-learning different ways to go from my previously learned habits and cannot be happier about what I'm hearing and feeling from my singing now. He's also hilarious and it makes the sessions feel very organic. Brian seems as if he was placed on this Earth to do exactly what he is doing. I'm glad to have found him. read more

As the rest of the previous reviews mentioned, Brian does a great job at explaining how the body works as a musical instrument and that he recommends you to bring a song that you know well but somewhat difficult to sing and 2GB of free space on your phone for recording. However, the one thing that I blew my mind is that the recording is actually to record his lessons with you so that you can go back and review if you choose to do so. The guy straight out told me to pull my phone out and to attach it to his tripod for better sound recording. You get to record as he goes into full science mode on the breakout of how the sound is produced and how the body works. Not to mention sharing of videos and anatomy diagrams to drive the point even further. This is part 1 of the lesson. He lets you know when to stop the recording and when to start recording part 2, which is the practicing and application of the lesson, for easier review and to go over and practice as homework. Never have I met a professional or a teacher that encourages and pushes for voice recording of the lesson which speaks volume for his character as a teacher as one that cares about the development and growth of his students. Kudos Brian! read more

In addition to just being a cool, likeable guy, Brian is a perfect teacher. I do not give such a high compliment willy-nilly. I used to take voice lessons a long time ago, and I never felt I was improving. The exercises seemed cut and paste. Another teacher I had more recently was a bit... insulting and critical. Lessons with Brian are not like that at all. They are tailored to you, and he helps you grow while simultaneously being encouraging. It is a wonderful blend. I was a terrible student in school, and I appreciate a teacher like him who can adjust his teaching style and explanations for all types of learners. I love that he not only knows the mechanisms of the human body and how vocal chords, folds, etc work, but is also knowledgeable about diet, habits, and all things that can affect your voice. This. This is so amazing. Because of him, I realized I have allergies and acid reflux that ideally, someone who wants to sing, should fix. I am so glad I ended up going with him. Thank you to all the other Yelpers who wrote such rave reviews for him. read more

Brian is an amazing vocal / singing coach. He strikes a great balance between a warm, friendly personality, backed with intelligence, expertise, and genuine passion for what he does. We've made a ton of progress in just a short time, and I always look forward to working with him! read more

I've been learning with Brian for about 3 months and I've seen a tremendous improvement in my voice!! Brian is great at gauging where you are as a singer and breaks things down in a way that is simple and easy to understand. He knows how to train your voice to achieve the tone and quality that you want. He caters every lesson to your goals as a singer and manages to help you achieve something new every time! You can tell that he is an extremely knowledgeable and capable coach. Not only is he incredibly talented, he is also so fun to learn with. I am laughing in every session and really enjoying myself! Every session is a treat with Brian. It's really exciting to see how my voice has improved these past few months and I can't wait to see where it will go. read more

Brian is great! I had bought an online course from a prestigious singing instructor, and after completing them, was ready for an in-person instructor to correct my bad habits. I've only had 2 lessons with Brian so far, and I'm already sounding better than I ever have. He explains things clearly and tangibly- no vague and heady nonsense. I'd highly recommend Brian if you're looking to take your voice to the next level. read more

Brian is the perfect teacher for me and I'd guess for almost anyone: he can zero in on your voice immediately, assess your strengths and weaknesses, and pinpoint exactly what can help you grow, while at the same time giving succinct but thought-provoking overviews of the vocal instrument, both in it's mechanics (musculature, organization) and physics, in a way that helps you understand clearly exactly what you need to do and why you might be having issues. Personally he's also very straightforward, neither too easy-going nor too stringent. The lessons go all the way from general to laser-focused in on your and your voice. I must admit that I thought I might not be able to afford more than a lesson or two, but given how much I've been learning and how I can see such a difference immediately I've done three already and plan to do many more. Every lesson builds on the last in tangible ways. He seems to have himself experienced many different types of vocal teaching/approaches/styles/theory and syncretized them into one approach that probably contains the best of everything. Can't recommend any more highly. read more

Brian is one of the coolest people you'll meet in your life, read that twice. Authentically unapologetically himself this guy will surprise you and level up your delivery game with your vocals. Communicative, patient, understanding and attentive to detail you'll be grateful you can drive out to South Pasadena and learn at Brian Lin Voice Studio. read more

Had an amazing first session with Brian! The techniques in which he uses are completely unique and sooo useful. I noticed a difference in my singing right away. I did things with my voice that I have never heard myself do before. All good things of course :) His understanding of the vocal chords and how they work sets him apart from others. I learned more about the vocal chords in my first session with Brian than I have ever learned before. So if you are looking for a vocal technician that will push you to be the best and most powerful singer you can be, while teaching the anatomy of the vocal chords, definitely come see Brian Lin. read more

Brian Lin Voice Studio - First Lesson with Brian!! Such an awesome experience!!! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I am a music producer and previously only sang casually with a few lessons here and there with prior vocal coaches. Brian is easily the best vocal coach I have ever worked with. Extremely clear, methodical, and aware of the "meta" of singing education - often rife with frustrating abstractions such as "breathing from the diaphragm" or "singing from the throat". He breaks all of those down in an extremely clear way. Every time I meet with Brian I find new tools and new perspectives on my own voice. So many things are hidden within the world of singing and completely unintuitive unless explained, and Brian does it amazingly well. I work with extremely talented vocalists as a producer and so I know where the bar lies and set the same standards for myself. Brian is starting to help me get there and I can feel the progress even after a few lessons. read more

I got very lucky finding Brian's Voice Studio. It's so nice to finally have a music instructor that is approachable, charismatic, and has a lot of patience. I really appreciate it when Brian breaks down things because he does it so well where everything clicks right away. He really helps me with not only vocal techniques but with recording set-ups. I get excited coming into my lessons with him (which is the complete opposite of how I felt from other private lessons I've taken). Very comfortable with Brian and I hope he continues to teach for a while. He is such an awesome person to work with. 10/10! Thank you so much Brian for your wisdom and patience! read more

1st Lesson with Brian was very successful! I learned so much, and there are so many different exercises that will get your voice working CORRECRLY! Excited for the future with more lessons :) THANK YOU! read more

Brian Lin Voice Studio - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Brian is an amazing voice coach!! I have never met anyone quite so talented in voice and music. My daughter always looks forward to her weekly singing lessons and is improving so fast, I am feel very grateful and blessed to have found him, worth every penny! read more

I took vocal lessons from Brian on-and-off for about two years (Feb 2020 to Mar 2022). I would have taken them more consistently throughout the years if it wasn't for my inconsistent work schedule, and I would take lessons still if it wasn't for a new move and house purchase. At any rate, Brian was AMAZING to work with and very patient and understanding of my goals and in trying to help me reach them. He was accommodating when we did lessons via Skype AND in different time zones since I was living in Japan for a large portion of our lessons. He was still as attentive online as when I had lessons in-person! What I appreciated most about Brian was that he truly cares about his students and tailored his lessons to ensure we (I) got the most out of each class. Even when I kept pushing to try to sing early on, he reiterated his course structure and emphasized to me why building a strong foundation and understanding of the mouth/throat/vocal chords are more important early-on than to immediately jumped into singing a song. I soon appreciated and am grateful to Brian for stressing that foundational build-up since it helped me later on when we progressed to more challenging warm-ups, scales, and intermediate songs. While I am no where near where I want to be yet in my singing goals, I am glad to have found Brian and had his help along the way! Once I get my finances in check, I definitely will be taking lessons from Brian again. You simply cannot go wrong with him, especially if you want a lesson focused on the science behind singing and classes tailored to your needs. Thanks so much, Brian! It's been a blast... till next time :) read more

Brian is THE vocal teacher, words aren't enough to show how great he is as a person and mentor. He is so knowledgeable and is a master at his craft. I have the ugliest baritone voice and I am a beginner singer. However, I love singing and appreciate music. From the start, Brian knew exactly what I needed to improve and provided me with exercises that are EFFECTIVE and actually WORK. Each lesson he aims to reach an improvement or goal and really challenges you. I was so shocked that I was able to belt notes and I felt my voice grow stronger overtime. I am very shy and self conscious but he made me feel comfortable despite going out of pitch and cracking lol. This overall gave me more confidence. I have had various music teachers and I can say with certainty none of them compare to Brian. Unfortunately, I had to stop my lessons due to family and health issues and I thought it was very nice of him that he contacted me to see how I was doing. Not a lot of teachers do that and it says a lot. I will definitely be taking more lessons in the future. Brian you are the best! read more

I have been taking lessons from Brian for 6 months, and I have really enjoyed our time together. Brian has been excellent in explaining the mechanics of the voice, helping me understand the various tools that I can employ while singing. Even though I have been singing for over 10 years, with Brian's help, I feel like I have much better control and knowledge of my own voice! Brian doesn't use a "one size fits all" approach. He takes the time to listen to your strengths, weaknesses, and goals, to determine the best pedagogical method to use. It was only after 10 lessons, that he "revealed" a concept that we had been working on and how that created a stronger foundation for the work to come. I really enjoy Brian's lesson structure: technique + exercises + practical application on a song. I highly recommend Brian for singers of any level! read more

Spent three months with Brian to better focus on my voice. Absolutely godsend. Great dynamic when learning from him and amazing communication when explaining things. 10/10 recommend to anyone seeking to improve themselves! Certainly an improved experience compared to previous vocal coaches! read more

I had singing teachers in the past, but by far Brian is the best one. He really gets into the granular details of singing by first explaining physically how your voice works and later using very useful metaphors to locate that certain voice. My family and friends were surprised by the significant progress I made in very few lessons! Brian is very funny and encouraging, and above all else he wants his students to succeed. I am excited about where future lessons and practices with Brian will lead to. I highly recommend! read more

My 13 year old daughter has been working with Brian for a couple of months now, he is a talented, patient, and knowledgeable teacher. Her skill and confidence in singing has grown tremendously. She enjoys the lessons, learns more each time, and I appreciate that he provides guidance on how she can care for the health of her voice over time. I would highly recommend Brian as a voice coach and can attest that his style with kids and teens is engaging and fun. read more

Brian is a great teacher. Explanations are very clear and easy to understand, going so far as to teaching you the science behind vocal techniques. He does not cut corners but is also kind when correcting any mistakes. He also easily dispelled a lot of vocal myths that most people would usually believe to be true. Brian is definitely recommended if anyone is looking to find vocal guidance they can trust. read more

If you're serious about learning how to sing like a professional, do yourself a favor and choose Brian Lin! There are some things about singing and performance that can't be taught. But what CAN be taught--Brian teaches it best. I used to think there were certain vocal techniques that I would never be able to pull off. Just a few lessons with Brian made these techniques become natural to me. Really thankful that I decided to take vocal lessons from him in 2020. So worth it. Singing is a timeless skill set, and with enough practice, lasts forever. read more

After a long break from active singing, I was having a hard time with rhythm and wanted other general improvements in pitch and range. I found Brian and his stellar reviews and decided to give voice lessons a shot because I wanted someone who could pinpoint my issues. I've only had a few lessons so far but Brian has already been able to diagnose my issues, explain why I was encountering them and given me the tools/tips I need to correct them. Even though I am a little old to be taking voice lessons, I feel like he has (in such a short time) been able to break through this vocal ceiling I've been hitting my whole life. But I appreciate that it isn't only about technique. His positive energy and passion for singing/music mixed into every minute makes each lesson such a great experience. Highly recommend! read more

Brian is wonderful!! He knows how to pinpoint exactly what to work on and gets the point across in such an effortless way. Having been classically trained most of my life, his lessons have been very transformative and eye-opening. It's clear that he devotes so much to learning and teaching in the best possible way for all his students, and it's been such a lovely experience working with him!! read more
