Welcome …

… to the Deborah Ellen Vocal Studio website. My goal is to provide you with the principles of the Speech Level Singing Technique in an exciting, open, safe and growth oriented atmosphere. This technique has been developed over the past forty-three years by Seth Riggs of Los Angeles, California. It is the foundation on which over 100 Grammy award winners, four Metropolitan opera winners, and countless Broadway stars and major Motion Picture and Television personalities have built their careers. It is by far the most sought-after technique in the world today. Whether you are a professional or just love to sing, we can help. The secret is simple. Speech Level Singing is based on the fundamental truth that it is possible to sing with the same comfortable, easily produced voice you use, or should use, when you speak.

The Speech Level Singing Institute was created to develop and train vocal instructors in the technique of Speech Level Singing. All instructors are required to complete a certification program and remain current with continuing education requirements in order to maintain their status as a certified associate. This ensures that students receive a qualified instructor who can prove and demonstrate the principles of the technique with his or her voice. The Deborah Ellen Vocal Studio is a Certified Seth Riggs Speech Level Singing Studio.

I hope you enjoy the site. Please sign the guest book and feel free to contact me with any questions. I’ll look forward to meeting you.
