"Making great progress with Rian’s help.

Pop. Rock. R&B. Jazz. Musical Theatre. And every song on the request list at one of the hottest piano bars in Los Angeles. I'm David Jayden Anthony — and before I tell you about my degrees, let me tell you about where I honed my skills as a commercial music performer: Tramp Stamp Granny's, Darren Criss' legendary North Hollywood piano bar. Every genre. Any song. Any key. On demand. That's the kind of real-world musical flexibility I bring into every lesson. My credentials: a Bachelor's in Songwriting & Music Production from Berklee College of Music (studying under Grammy Award-winning artists in lyric writing, composition, production, and mixing), and a Master's in Musical Theatre Writing from Berklee's NYC campus — where I studied with Broadway legends Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, Adam Gwon, and Michael Starobin. Before Orange County School of the Arts had a commercial music program, I built one from scratch — teaching Pop, Rock, Jazz, and R&B, writing original arrangements, and directing concerts for audiences of 2,000+. My students call me 'The Auto-Mechanic of the Voice' — because I diagnose fast and fix faster. I make abstract vocal concepts tangible. I help you understand text and storytelling at a level that transforms your performances — not just your technique. Whether you're a pop singer pushing too hard, a musical theatre performer hunting for the perfect audition song, or a songwriter who wants to finally record something extraordinary, I will move you faster than you thought possible. YES — you can use acting and storytelling technique to create brilliant pop and commercial music performances. That's not a theory. That's what I teach, every session. Rapid results. Real technique. Commercial music first, Broadway when you need it. SuperCoach — Top 3% on TeachMe.to. 5.0 rating. 30 years of teaching, performing, music-directing, and writing. Let's get to work.
"The lesson was quite thorough, with David exploring many techniques, and I appreciated how invested he was in helping me find my voice and achieve a breakthrough. Still, I think continuing to balance and control my own voice will be important moving forward. I’ll definitely look to return for the next lesson, since that lesson really highlighted his attention to detail and genuine commitment.

Hi there! I'm an experienced volleyball player (Duke University) and coach spanning the last 20 or so years. I love the sport and my passion for volleyball is contagious! I have spent many years fostering a love for the game in others, from beginners to more experienced players (including collegiate D1 players) ranging in age from 9-30. I'm committed to helping student athletes realize not only meaningful volleyball skills development but personal growth too.
"I loved that the lesson was good and well-paced. Louis made it enjoyable and engaging throughout. Everything felt smooth and well-organized, making it easy to follow along. If you're interested in improving your volleyball skills in a positive environment, Louis’s lessons are definitely worth trying. You’ll have a great time learning and practicing new techniques. Give it a go! 🙂

"The lesson wasn't too intense, but I did pick up some helpful tips on controlling my paddle better, especially when returning quick shots. Still, I think a few more practical drills could make a difference. Kurt's approach is pretty straightforward, and I’m hopeful that with a bit more focus, I’ll see stronger results soon.
