Darci Monet is a vocal coach and active professional vocalist, performer and songwriter currently based in Los Angeles. A former Nashville resident, she brings twenty-plus years of formal study and hands-on experience to her coaching. She offers training in contemporary vocal styles based in a combination of classical and speech level techniques, performance skills, basic musicianship and songwriting consultation. Darci's clients have appeared on national television (American Idol, 24, Choice Hotels), on Broadway (Rent, Million Dollar Quartet), L.A.'s historic clubs (The Viper Room, The World Famous Roxy) and everywhere in between. She serves as head judge for Mario Pescatore's "Fame" (a weekly singing competition in Studio City), and her award winning songs have been heard on television, in independent films and on radio worldwide. Darci just released her latest album "Fusion" in May and is currently performing in support of it.

"Darci Monet's deliberate style and phrasing simply cannot be touched. Her ability to transport any audience from the venue to her living room is nothing short of alchemy. Monet conveys a sincere desire to share her considerable gifts with her artists. Study with her; you have nothing to lose -- except reasons for record labels to pass on you."

"Darci is an amazing voice teacher. I could tell a positive change in my singing after the first lesson. Her easy-going personality created a very welcoming atmosphere and I was comfortable practicing around her. She gave me tons of positive reinforcement and now I can get to a high F# an octave above the staff!"

"Growing up as an instrumentalist, I always wanted to be a singer. I was nervous to take voice lessons, but Darci eased me into it using great techniques and showing me that she is the REAL deal. I really enjoy going to my lessons and learning from someone who KNOWS her stuff…"
