ABOUT THE SINGING TEACHER

Why I Do What I Do…

I’m David Jayden Anthony — a voice teacher, acting coach, composer, and longtime musical theatre educator with 20+ years of experience on both coasts. With degrees from Berklee (Songwriting & Music Production) and BerkleeNYC (Musical Theatre Writing), I blend performance, composition, and pedagogy to help artists unlock their story and sound—fast.

I’ve coached international students through The Young Americans, trained performers at the college level, and developed new works in rehearsal rooms and studios. Whether you’re prepping for a Broadway callback or building confidence for your first audition, you’ll get clear, actionable tools in every session.

To the right is a student who had never been able to belt. She entered head-voice right away. I checked her for tension and then it happened. Tears of joy over her new-found power!

I first met David Anthony when I was eleven years old through McCoy Rigby Musical Theatre Conservatory where he was music directing multiple shows during their summer stock season. I then went on to continue taking classes from David through the McCoy Rigby Conservatory and through MTU – Musical Theatre University. Shortly there after, I started to take private voice lessons with him. I have been training with David for almost 10 years now and he has had a huge impact on my life. He has acted as my teacher and mentor and he has inspired me to do things I did not think were possible… CONTINUED

I met David when my daughter was blessed to have him as the instructor of her school’s musical theater voice conservatory class. She came home after a few weeks of being under David’s instruction and begged, “Can I pleeeaaassse get David as a private voice teacher?” She said through all her years of musical theater voice training, she had never been challenged and encouraged in her vocal skills like she had by David.

We were able to arrange private voice lessons with David, and in a matter of months, she went from struggling to control her singing gift to winning multiple and exclusive vocal competitions, along with being cast in lead roles. David not only taught her how to properly use her voice but helped her to expertly craft songs, bringing out the intent of each and every lyric. In a short amount of time, her younger sister, who is also passionate about musical theater, was under David’s instruction as well… CONTINUED

Musical Theatre Momager of 2

Ever since I began vocal lessons with David, my singing has monumentally changed. I had been to multiple teachers in the past for my voice, and although they were all great, none of their teaching styles made sense to me like David’s. While catering specifically to my needs, he knew how to prioritize the most important vocal adjustment to unlock parts of my voice I didn’t know I had. Furthermore, something I’ve found that works for me in my learning is the passion a teacher brings to the subject they teach. David Anthony is an intense teacher when he sees that his students really want to improve. He truly hopes to help people become better performers, and there have been countless times where he will, after spending hours outside of our lessons thinking, come back with an answer to a problem we’ve been stumped on. Remember how I said he prioritizes the most important thing, he constantly prioritizes his students even outside of lessons… CONTINUED
