In some studios, this is not what happens, you get there and you start from scratch, with the Village, you get your set up exactly as you want it and you have a whole team of people ready to help you out whenever you need to. They have an awesome mic locker, a lot of history, great people and a super warm and friendly but genuine vibe. The people are crazy chill but know how to fix a problem. And did I mention that they are relatively affordable? Okay maybe I can say that they probably offer the best value for money with the studios around LA. I don't ever remember being less stressed in a studio session than when I do one here.

Future Sound Studios Hollywood

Working with Rene at Future Sound Studios was the best decision I made in 2018…read more The worst decision I made was using my drummer's boyfriend's studio. I had three great songs that I had written over the summer that I decided needed recording for my debut album. My drummer offered her bf's studio to record the band, which was cool at first. It ended up being a HUGE mistake--the drums sounded AWFUL recorded in his place. Small, tinny, behind-a-padded-wall sound. Out of sync totally. Not to mention his overall attitude was weird--it ended up being his session, not mine. I thought there was no hope for saving these records. And I still had yet to record my vocals. Luckily, we found Rene on Yelp. With his help, I was able to record my vocals and get the drums fixed to a T. Rene made my songs go from B-side 1960's crap small-studio sounding to 2019 sparkling, widescreen Katy Perry perfection. We also go the songs done relatively quickly. I was obviously a bit trepidatious going back into a studio after that last experience, but I shouldn't have been. Rene is very nice and personable, the opposite of what I experience so often in Hollywood. I felt comfortable in his studio the second I stepped foot inside. Rene and I are also on the same wavelength creatively--we both feel when a take is right and when it's not, when a song is hot and when it's not. He is very honest and will tell you the truth, which I appreciate. My favorite part of working with him is his sense of humor. I also respect how I requested no autotune on my voice and he actually listened--most other engineer/producers I've worked with laugh right in my face at that and never do it, they're too egotistical to ever let the singer make mistakes on their record. But he let me try it. Remember, as a mixer, masterer and engineer, his success is your success. He is a hard worker-I must have asked him for 40 files for TV and film placement purposes and he sent me every single one immediately. He is a walking plethora of musical knowledge. The actual room is small where I recorded, but it worked fine for me and my backup singer. If you really wanted to, you could cram a small choir in there, maybe a horn. Rene's studio is for overdubs, not bands. So, keep that in mind. Although he does have other rooms. Great, high-quality gear, too. Fantastic mics. Rene is awesome! I can't imagine going to anyone else to finish this album. Excited to work with him again. Would recommend! 10/10 ***check out edithviolette.com to hear the final product, will be out soon***

And his gift is not just all things guitar, and bass, and...whatever else, but his outta sight customer service. And what that means is... he is patient, personable, listens carefully, wants to know what you want from your guitar, discusses options with you, makes suggestions. He does what YOU want to do. And he doesn't rush stuff. He carefully tags it and he's honest with you about how long the work will take and he gives you options if you want it faster. And if something goes wonky later on after you get your guitar back and play it a while, or you have some additional preference after you pick up your guitar, he invites you to bring it back. Maybe you want something adjusted a little bit differently. Maybe the neck settles a little bit after set up even though he gave it a couple days to settle before he turned it over to you. Who knows. It's your pleasure. And his delight to help you. And when you pop back in, he'll take a look at your guitar and, if you can wait a few minutes, he'll tweak it or zap it and hand it right back to you faster than you could get an In-N-Out Burger drive-thru. I wish I had more guitars to bring to him. And that wouldn't be for repairs, although I would love him to do repairs, but that would be for upgrades and custom work and enhancements.

Paloma is a seasoned professional with an absolutely beautiful voice, and she made the entire process approachable, easy to digest, and genuinely fun. She taught me how the voice truly works--breath support, diaphragm use, vocal anatomy, resonance, tongue placement, and effective exercises that rebuilt my voice with care and intention. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional, yet she explains everything in a way that feels clear and accessible. Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Paloma's expertise, patience, and encouragement, I was able to deliver a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to my mother. If you are returning to singing after time away or preparing for something truly meaningful, I cannot recommend Paloma highly enough.

After my acting teacher recommended all actors do vocal training, I took the opportunity to try it. As an adult beginner with no real singing experience, searching for a place to start was intimidating, but I'm so glad I took the leap with this studio. Through the Vocal Foundation program with Stuart Wheeler, I've learned that I'm indeed NOT tone-deaf, and that with the right training and technique, I've been able to unlock a part of my voice that I've not been able to access until now. Stuart is a highly-skilled teacher, singer, and musician, with the ability to articulate complex musical terms in a way that easily clicks in my mind (and I'm not an easy person to teach!). He is a patient, compassionate instructor who provides a safe, fun space to learn and explore. I've enjoyed being able to choose the songs that we work on. My lessons have always been insightful and surprisingly empowering. In just a few months, I've gained much more control and confidence in my own voice, expanded my range, learned to be more mentally focused and present, and have sharpened my listening skills. I can now sing for pleasure without being so self-conscious. My vocal training has even helped improve my piano and guitar practice! The session rates are reasonable and the location/parking are convenient. I haven't had a chance to work directly with Jane but she has been lovely over our communications. Overall, I've gained so much from my training here and I look forward to continuing.

They offer classes in narration, commercials, audiobooks, promo, and animation/video games for all levels, and you can sometimes audit a class for free first before committing to a whole series. There's also super specific courses like Accents & Dialects, where they'll bring in an expert like Alyson Steele to teach how to crack any accent, and master the main ones you'll get called for in auditions. They've also brought in Randi Thomas, the woman who live announces the Oscars and a LOT of other award shows. She does a lot promos too, but she was the first woman to do the Oscars and it is a super tough and specific technique. I heard about Double RR from another student, and decided to check it out because I had always been interested in animation, loved audiobooks, fascinated with documentary narration, etc. I loved it, and kept going to as many classes as I could at that studio before branching out to others. But I kept going back to Double RR, and worked my way up to the higher level courses. Their classes were absolutely instrumental in launching my voiceover career. The main instructor is Laurel VanderLinde and she is an absolute force. She's incredible at assessing your skill level and an amazing director.
