“David is my son's vocal coach. We first met David in a show that he was the musical director for and was so impressed with his musical talent and ability to teach that we begged him to instruct my son. We have been with David for over a year and have seen amazing improvement and technique in my son's vocal abilities. More than teaching the technical part of voice and singing, David has instilled in my son a confidence that is unmatched. My son will go to Broadway one day because of David's impression on his life and for that I will be eternally grateful. David is our best kept secret. I selfishly want to keep him to myself and not let the world know of his greatness, but here I am recommending him on Linked In because it's the right thing to do. I see great feats in David's future and one day I expect to see him with Tony in hand for music and lyric composition of some great Broadway musical, (that envitably my son will perform in). All joking aside, I truly believe this is where David is heading....Broadway greatness. And, I being one of his biggest fans will be cheering him on all the way.”Marlena F., parent · shared by David

About DavidPop. 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.

“The lesson with Ali was quite engaging, especially since my son loved learning about the layup technique, which he’s been eager to master. Though we still hope to tackle mid-range shots next, I appreciate how Ali clearly explains fundamentals without rushing through. It’s quite helpful and, honestly, still leaves room for us to build further skills. Still, if you're looking for a coach who can balance instruction and patience, trying a lesson with Ali could be worth it.”George, parent

About Tom👋 Hi, I’m Coach Tom (Tom Ziv) — a private tennis coach in Los Angeles, California.
I competed at a high ATP level, ranked inside the ATP top hundreds, and was #3 nationally.
After my playing career, I became a coach for one reason:
I love helping people unlock levels they didn’t think they had.
❌ most lessons fail for a simple reason:
there’s no plan. It’s just hitting… and hoping.
Now I coach adults and juniors who want real improvement — real results!
My coaching style:
✅ sharp technical details (so you know exactly what to fix)
✅ footwork + patterns that translate to match play
✅ strategy + confidence under pressure
✅ high-energy sessions (cardio + intensity)
✅ and yes… music — because the vibe matters
My philosophy is simple: a real plan creates real results!Go to profile
