The Vocal Mechanics

Love her! I always look forward to my lessons each week and I’ve already learned so much and grown as a vocalist. She comes up with creative ways to help you understand how to sing better and I love how instead of teaching the traditional solfege she actually teaches you how to sing songs you love and that you want to sing. Parking is always easy to find by her place as well, which is a huge plus.

My daughter started going to Forbsey almost a year ago. She loves every lesson and I can even use it as leverage when she isn’t listening to let her know if she does not behave, we will not be going to singing lessons. That should say a lot. Her confidence is on the rise and I believe the singing lessons have even helped her school. Believe it or not, Forbsey is so amazing that she is even teaching my daughter how to rap. The songs on her album are not so much singing as rapping and Forbseys approach of breaking down the song or slowing it down, doing whatever she has to so every syllable is recognized and pronounced while keeping on beat is amazing. I have learned a lot how to help my daughter when we are practicing which is priceless to me especially since I have a younger daughter who this will directly affect. After combing all the ads and looking into all the schools or teachers around me in the South Bay, I decided to travel over an hour each way to get to Forbsey and I’d suggest you do the same. Lessons also available on Skype but I would suggest going in person. She is super inspiring to me and my little unicorns and I feel will play a vital role in my daughters success

Love this woman! I started lessons with her back in 2012 having absolutely NO experience and gobs of insecurities about singing. I had tried other singing «academies» at the same time, and they were very uninspiring. Forbesy is the true inspiration and a real talent. She’s worked in the music business for over 20 years and has gold records in singing and songwriting to prove it!
Anyway, she works with whatever skill level you have and works with you to achieve whatever you want. She even nudged me to write and record my first song, which was an incredible experience. I could literally not have asked for a better coach and human being to train me from raw beginner to a guy who can grab a mic and sing in front a group now!
I deeply appreciate all the time I’ve spent working with her. if you’re on the fence about hiring a coach, just give her a try. One visit with her and you’ll see what the real deal is.

Forbesy is Amazing!!! If you want to take your singing to the next level and beyond. She will give you the tools to make that happen.
I’ve been with her for over year now and my vocal ability has increased dramatically. As an experienced singer, I was looking for an edge and better control. Forbesy provided the template and understanding to become more self aware and take full control of my instrument!
I cannot say enough good things about her, if you’re looking for someone to trust and improve your instrument to the best of its ability she is the One!!!

We were searching around for a top vocal coach a young girl that hopes to be a professional singer. We interviewed many people until we met Forbsey! One word describes here AMAZING! She clearly is a seasoned and accomplished singer. She has the whole package. She knows how to listen; how to give feedback; and reaches into your vocal cords and tunes them up just like a piano tuner. I watched her in action many times during these sessions. What stood out most is her energy and ability to build confidence in her student (s). I came to realize that it was not just about singing, but having the confidence to actually belt out the music and sound like a professional.
Look you get what you pay for. If you want a run of the mill singing «instructor» then Forbsey is not for you. If you really want results; someone to challenge you; and to walk out feeling like you are on top of the moon then Forbsey is the best choice.
PS — Here’s a little secret, she is really connected in the industry and does work for Indie and Major label record/​management companies. she’s a GREAT person to know if you want to take your voice seriously and have a shot at going all the way…

A business like this one is the reason that I created this Unilocal account.
I have been searching FOREVER to find a vocal coach who really understands the demands that a professional singer endures. What I received exceeded my wish list, I am more than satisfied, I am elated!
I felt extremely relieved when I met with Forbsey.
Even before my very first session, I was informed of what would happen and what to prepare so it wasn’t uncomfortable.
I thoroughly recommend doing the 2 hour intro lesson as it covers all the basics + a vocal assessment. I was told that I would never listen to singers in the same way, ever again… and she was right! My jaw hit the floor!
In the space of 2 hrs, everything changed for the better.
I asked her 3 questions that other coaches have NEVER been able to answer
and she had crystal clear explanations and then some. She really is amazing!
She is the vocal whisperer, she really does know her stuff!
I was nervous when I showed up, felt comfortable during the entire process and left in AWE!
Not only does she understand the voice but also the business side of music and how to go about things, she totally rocks! I have been doing lessons with Forbsey for a little over 6 months now and the difference in my voice is– massive!
There are a lot of pretenders in this town but Forbsey isn’t one of them, she’s the real deal and I’m so happy I have found her.
THANK YOU!
I am extremely satisfied.

Finally! Finally! Literally all I can say is finally I found a voice coach that actually answers my questions and doesn’t just skirt around the topic or force me to do another round of lip trills! I mean seriously, what the hell are they for anyhow. Thanks to Forbsey, the Vocal Mechanic, my sustains are much longer and my timing is finally where it needs to be. Plus not to mention but she actually practices what she preaches and has a gold record! And with her the saying that those who can’t do teach is so far from the truth! Even in sessions I’m left in awe proud that this is my teacher and excited because she’s going to be teaching something that I can perform live and have others in awe as well.

Love, love, LOVE this girl! There ain’t a vocal problem that she can’t solve and WHAT A VOICE!

This lady is the real deal! She has a TON of experience and it totally shows. Efficient & fun. I needed to get 1song down for an acting role and she whipped me into shape in 3 lessons. Don’t waste your time or money going elsewhere.

Amazing! Awesome! FABULOUS! I have been missing out on so much fun but I’m making up for it now. Singing lessons with Forbsey are simply the best. All my fears and misconceptions are a thing of the past. All things are covered here. The first question she asks is, do you want lessons just for fun? Do we have a goal or event coming up?.. or do you want to have a serious shot at it?.. and we go from there.
I was so nervous before the 1^st lesson but that was just silly. I wish I had started this years ago… HAPPY :0)

Jenn Forbes (aka «Forbsey») is a fantastic vocal coach and I recommend her wholeheartedly.
As a singer I’m a beginner, but I’ve always wanted to sing with a band so I set my sights on perfecting a few rock songs I could perform at my 40^th Birthday Party. It was a totally amazing, fun and empowering experience and I’m grateful I had Forbsey to help guide me through it the entire way.
We worked together for several months before the party. I’m glad I devoted that much time to getting where I needed to be to perform for a big crowd. She taught me many exercises which, over time, really improved my singing to the point where I was not only totally capable but also confident in my ability. I learned how to breathe properly, hit notes that were previously impossible to nail, and power through the vocals without straining myself.
She also taught be something I hadn’t anticipated needing to learn: how to command the stage as a performer. That was one of my biggest transformations and it made all the difference when it came time to deliver.
Jenn is Australian (which is pretty awesome in itself) and it comes across in her vibe and attitude. She’s frank, funny, effective and she always made me feel at ease from the moment I walked into her studio. Admittedly, when we met for my first lesson I was really nervous to just start singing for a stranger but, within a very short time, it was like singing for a friend. She’s (obviously) a great singer herself and a teacher I would go return to for vocal training. A+
