Manage episode 478761396 series 2890804
Valerie Morehouse is one of the most sought-after vocal coaches in the entertainment industry, renowned for her unique blend of artistry and business acumen. With a BFA in journalism and a background as one of the youngest members of Chapman University’s acclaimed chamber singers, Valerie has worked alongside top ear, nose, and throat surgeons to develop innovative methods for rehabilitating singers from vocal trauma. Her client roster includes chart-topping musicians, actors, and even sports broadcasters, making her a true authority on both the craft and the business of voice. Valerie’s journey from church soloist to industry leader is a masterclass in following your passion—while mastering the business side to build a sustainable, lucrative career.
On this episode we talk about:
– How Valerie made her first and most recent dollar (from singing at church as a child to coaching and publishing a book)
– The science and art behind vocal coaching and rehabilitation
– Why most people can learn to sing—and the rare exceptions
– The importance of combining artistry with business skills to succeed in creative industries
– Building a powerful professional network and landing high-profile clients
– Pivots in career paths: turning passion into a business, even if the dream changes
– The discipline required for success—whether working with actors, musicians, or athletes
– The realities of touring, film work, and managing creative personalities
Top 3 Takeaways
1. Most people can learn to sing with the right training and patience—only about 2% of the population is truly tone deaf, and the voice is an athletic instrument that can be developed over time.
2. Success in creative fields requires both passion and business sense; understanding your strengths, building relationships, and having the patience for long-term growth are key to turning talent into income.
3. Building a strong network and reputation—through integrity, hard work, and word of mouth—can open doors to working with top clients and sustaining a fulfilling career.
