“I
love teaching! Kids, teens, beginners to professionals. I’ve been doing it for over 17 years and
I love it all. It’s so important for singers to build a strong base and then their confidence
levels skyrocket automatically.”
“Some of my students are total beginners, kids and teens are a lot of fun. Some just
want to nail 1 song at the office Xmas party, some students have been signed to record labels and others are in musical theatre.
I’ve had people come to troubleshoot a particular vocal problem, learn audition techniques or even deal with
chronic stage fright. I get swamped when it’s audition time for American Idol. The variety
is fantastic but the common thread with all of my students is – they sing because it makes them feel good, and I never
forget that in my lessons.”
To date, Forbsey has taught master classes in Australia, England, New Zealand and the USA (L.A &
NYC). She has coached some of the ‘IDOLS’, has worked with acts from
EMI, Warner Music, Sony BMG, and is currently working with a child star from Disney who is preparing to cuts his first tracks.
Her aim is to nurture the individuality of each voice and all lessons are tailored to each student's goals, dreams
and plans.
“Although my studio is in West Hollywood, I also have students in Australia, London, Berlin,
Laguna and San Diego that I teach weekly, via SKYPE. I do weekly SKYPE lessons with a mum who lives 20
minutes away but can’t leave the kids. A neighbor minds her children for the hour lesson. Without
SKYPE this just wouldn’t be possible for her. Thanks to the wonders of technology, it’s just
like these students are physically in the room with me.”
Forbsey sang her first radio commercial at age 11 and soon became one
of the youngest session singers on the professional recording circuit. Forbsey is an accomplished singer/songwriter,
recorded her last album (SONY/Mushroom) in London, has a gold record under her belt, and is regularly heard on radio and TV
commercials such as Coca Cola, McDonalds, Kleenex and Kelloggs, just to name a few. She has toured
with Joe Cocker and Take That, and was recently featured on a female compilation album – ALL THE SONG BIRDS, in the
company of Aretha Franklin, KD Lang, Carly Simon and Rickie Lee Jones.
“It’s all about YOU and what YOU want to do. I’m
here to guide you and get you there in the shortest time possible, all the while having a giggle and many ‘ah ha’
moments as you learn. If you are searching for an instructor who loves to teach and will have you improving
faster than you thought possible – you’ve come to the right place."
