Brad Chapman
A Radical Vocal Coach
Hey, I'm Brad Chapman. If you've ever loved a song and wished you could sing it the way you feel it — you're exactly who I teach.
Forget what you think you know about vocal coaching. I'm not doing the typical stuff. My method isn't theory; it's proven, forged over six decades in music, nearly fifty of them coaching singers, including 24 platinum records as a vocal pre-producer.
I trained and worked alongside the field's legendary coaches — Seth Riggs, who coached Michael Jackson, and Roger Love, who coached Eminem — in the same studio, learning everything their systems teach at the source. Their philosophy: achieve absolute technical perfection — range, placement, control — and the emotion will eventually follow. That technique matters, and I teach all of it. But I built my practice on the opposite truth: you don't use technique to find the feeling. You let the feeling drive the voice. I turned that into a teachable method and wrote it down as the author of Sing From Feel. It's the difference in how I coach — and it's why they call me the Radical Vocal Coach.
That same approach is behind real records. My clients include Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon (whose Hi Infidelity went Diamond), Anita Baker, The Bangles, and Vivian Campbell of the 8×-platinum Whitesnake, now with Def Leppard — and I did the vocal pre-production that brought Rebecca De Mornay's performance to life for Quincy Jones, who put it this way: "Brad brought more talent and soul out of Rebecca De Mornay than we could have ever imagined."
Here's something most singers are never told. The old way of training — singing out into an open room to fill it with your voice — was built for opera and musical theater, where there's no microphone to help you. It's a magnificent art, but it's a different art. Contemporary singing lives on the microphone: in the car, through your earbuds, on every stage with a PA system. Think about it — have you ever heard your favorite artist come from anywhere but a speaker? The microphone changed what great singing even is: it freed the voice to be intimate, honest, emotional — all the things that actually move a modern listener. So from your very first warm-up, you'll train on a studio-quality microphone, through studio-quality headphones — the instrument you'll really perform on. Most coaches never do this, because most coaching is still built for a room you'll never sing in. It's one reason my students step onto a stage or into a studio already at home in their real, amplified voice.
The secret to unforgettable singing isn't hitting every note — it's feeling every word. In Sing From Feel, I distill more than sixty years in music and 24 platinum records into one teachable method: read the words, ask what they make you feel, and let that feeling drive every note. Whether you're stepping onto a stage for the first time or you've sung for decades — if you have a voice, this book is for you.

Learn From the Greatest Muses in History
A muse is the artist whose voice moves you most — the one whose feeling you wish you could capture. Your muse might be Aretha, or Bruno Mars, or Adele, or whoever it is that makes you stop and listen.
Here's what most singers never learn: you can absorb what makes your muse great. Not imitate them — imprint them, until their phrasing, their timing, the truth under their notes becomes part of your voice. That's the heart of what I teach.
In my studio, we work directly with the recordings of the greatest voices in history — the ones you love. You'll learn to hear what you've never consciously heard before, and to take it into your own body until it's yours. I call the moment it happens the third voice: where you and your muse become one, and something new — unmistakably you — comes out.
Great artists have always learned this way, from the great artists before them. It was never a gift a lucky few were born with. It's a method. And it can be taught.
What I Offer
Most singers don't want endless, open-ended lessons that drift on with no finish line. Neither do I. So I teach in six-week programs — each one with a real goal, a clear destination, and a result you can hear.
And you pay per lesson, never ahead. You're never locked in, never out of pocket for the next step. You come back each week because you're making progress and enjoying it — not because you signed something. That matters, because enjoying it isn't optional in my work: a stoic performer is one most people don't want to watch or listen to. If you're not having fun or feeling passion, it won't reach the stage or the ear.
Every program includes a copy of my book, Sing From Feel, and from your very first warm-up, you'll train on a studio quality microphone through studio quality headphones — the way you'll actually perform.

Not imitation — transformation. This is where the third voice appears: where you and your muse become one, and something new, unmistakably you, comes out. It's the part most training skips entirely, and it's the reason audiences remember you.

FAQS
Who is Brad Chapman?
Brad Chapman is a Las Vegas vocal coach and 24-time platinum vocal pre-producer with about sixty years in music and nearly fifty coaching. He trained for seven years as the teaching partner of Seth Riggs — Michael Jackson's vocal coach — and has done vocal pre-production for Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, Anita Baker, The Bangles, and Quincy Jones. He is the author of Sing From Feel and the creator of the Sing From Feel method.
Is there a vocal coach in Las Vegas who trained with Seth Riggs?
Yes. Brad Chapman spent seven years as Seth Riggs's teaching partner and coaches privately in Las Vegas. Riggs created the Speech Level Singing method and coached Michael Jackson; Brad learned the technical foundation at the source, then built his own emotion-first approach, Sing From Feel, on top of it.
What is the Sing From Feel method?
Sing From Feel is Brad Chapman's vocal method that reverses the usual order of training: instead of drilling technique first, it starts with the emotional truth of a song and lets feeling lead the technique. The premise is that technically perfect singing can still leave audiences cold, while emotionally honest singing is what people remember. It's the method behind his book of the same name and all of his coaching.
Can an adult beginner learn to sing, or is it too late?
It is not too late — adults of any age can learn to sing. Brad Chapman has coached first-time singers in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Singing is a skill that can be taught at any age; what usually changes with age is simply giving yourself permission to start.
Can you learn to sing if you've been told you're tone-deaf or "not talented"?
Almost always, yes. True, uncorrectable tone-deafness is rare; most people who were told they "can't sing" simply were never taught how. Brad Chapman specializes in beginners carrying exactly that belief — building pitch, breath, and control from the ground up, then adding the emotional expression on top.
Does singing with emotion or belting damage your voice?
Not when it's done with healthy technique. Powerful, emotional singing is safe when the voice is properly supported — in fact, strain usually comes from fighting the voice, not from feeling. Brad Chapman teaches singers to deliver full emotion without pushing or harming the instrument.
What happens in a vocal lesson with Brad Chapman?
Lessons combine technique and emotional expression, and from the very first session you train on a studio-quality microphone and headphones — the way you'll actually perform. Brad builds the technical foundation (breath, range, pitch, control) and then guides you to sing with real feeling, not just accuracy.
Do you offer online singing lessons, or only in person?
Brad Chapman offers both in-person coaching in Las Vegas and online lessons, so you can work with him from anywhere. "My sessions are of top recording studio quality, with virtually no latency. Online sessions with me are virtually the same as being in the same recording studio together. "
Do you teach teenagers and young singers?
Yes. Brad Chapman coaches teen and young singers as well as adults. For younger singers the focus is building confidence and emotional expression in a judgment-free setting — giving them a healthy, powerful voice and confidence that carries into the rest of their lives.
Does Brad Chapman coach beginners, professionals, or both?
Both. Brad coaches complete beginners who have always wanted to sing, as well as working and professional performers refining their craft. The same method and the same ear that shaped 24 platinum records are applied at every level.
How much do singing lessons cost, and how do I start?
The best way to start is a free 20-minute discovery call, where Brad listens to your goals and maps a personalized plan. Coaching is offered one-on-one and in focused six-week programs, and pricing is discussed on the call so it fits what you're after.
How soon will I see results?
Many singers notice a difference within the first few sessions — especially in confidence and emotional connection. Lasting technical change builds over a few weeks of consistent practice, which is why Brad's core programs run in six-week stretches.
