"Don't just sing, PERFORM!" Aubrey moved to Los Angeles after earning her BA in Theatre Performance and Musical Theatre at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City. Since moving to Los Angeles, Aubrey has taught as a summer Musical Theatre Director at the prestigious Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts (YADA). There she helped direct full musical productions of “Legally Blonde Jr” and “Once On This Island” with children ages 5-16. Shortly after, Aubrey was a Youth Musical Theatre director, teaching courses on acting and singing, with the organization, "Act I Act III." She also spent time as a Beginning Ballroom Instructor at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Pasadena.
In her early scholastic career, Aubrey taught acting and musical performance to kids and young adults in Las Vegas for several years, where she grew up learning and discovering her passion for the arts. She spent this time performing in venues such as The Smith Center of Performing Arts and various showrooms on the Vegas strip. Some of her favorite roles include Violet (Violet), Mrs. Banks (Mary Poppins), and Elle Woods (Legally Blonde). She also had the incredible opportunity of starring in two, one woman shows, as a tribute to Doris Day and her singing idol, Barbra Streisand.
During her first years in LA, Aubrey was a soloist and dancer for a vintage chorus girls group, “The Hollywood It Girls,” where she had the pleasure of bringing Vaudeville theatre to life for a multitude of events, including a monthly residency at Pour Vous and The Federal in Long Beach. Now, she works closely with P3 Theatre as a cast member in their monthly comedy musical, "Funny Bonz," as seen in Hermosa Beach and Long Beach theaters. She also spends time volunteering for "Compassionate Artists," an organization dedicated to bringing professional performances to a variety of underfunded Senior Living Facilities in the LA area. All the while she is continuing to pursue her musical theatre career, while exploring the world of storytelling, television, and film.
Using her college training, performance experiences, and time spent as an educator, Aubrey specializes in vocal training, vocal performance, musical theater performance, acting, scene work, scene into song, audition preparation, and so much more! She tailors her lessons to every age, skill level, and need. But most importantly, she aims for you to have FUN.
Aubrey is thrilled to share the art of performing to help you achieve your goals and ignite your passion for creativity. She can't wait to meet you!
Reviews from Another Lesson Platform
Audrey is great with my 11 year old. She is prepared with fun games to warm up and is teaching her a lot of beginning skills! She is fun, engaging, and gives immediate positive feedback! I love that she gives her reasonable homework assignments too!
Super nice, and extremely helpful in explaining things so far!!!
I had to sing a Broadway solo for my choir final and was feeling very insecure about the way I was singing and my bad breath support. I set up two half hour lessons with Aubrey to prepare for the performance and came out feeling confident and more educated about proper singing technique! Even in the short 30 mins we covered SO MUCH! I got an A on my final :)
She gave me so much confidence in singing 🤩
very patient
Aubrey is an amazing teacher! I really enjoyed improving my vocal skills through singing my favorite songs. Aubrey is very knowledgeable - she provided me with the tools to fine tune my voice and hit notes I was missing. As an instructor, Aubrey has a warm energy and helps her students feel confident to step out of their comfort zone and takes them to the next level. I definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to grow their singing skills.
Aubrey is awesome! She has a wonderful way of connecting with my daughters and delivers constructive feedback and great content with all of the lessons. They have grown so much. Highly recommend.
I loved the class! I've learned a lot about acting and enjoyed it thouroughly!
Aubrey is super kind and fun to work with. The time goes by so quickly! I’ve really heard a difference in my voice and she’s helped me a lot with just being a more confident singer. Definitely recommend.
Really personable and made me feel comfortable to sing with her and confident in myself
Aubrey is a great teacher very meticulous. I learned a lot and progressed in just a few lessons.
My daughter had a great first lesson with Aubrey! She was kind and helpful and we are looking forward to more lessons!
Aubrey is fantastic! My daughter really enjoys and feels comfortable with her!
Aubrey was fantastic. Zeroed right in on what I already understood and what I didn't, was laser focused on fixing my mistakes with the right focus on how to handle those mistakes with fundamentals. Very supportive, gave great feedback. Didn't shy away from telling me what I was doing wrong while helping me fix it, which I appreciate a great deal. You don't get better if someone won't tell you what's wrong! She will, and she'll never make you feel bad about it, it's just something to work on. If I keep up with singing I'd be happy to come back to her.
Aubrey's an amazing singing instructor, and I'm so glad I got to learn from her. There were so many moments during our lessons that felt like she could read my mind because I'd feel something's off about my singing and struggle to put into words, but she'd know exactly what I meant and described it back to me better than I ever could. Then she'd tell how to address those issues in a way that was so easy to understand! Every one of her suggestions would quickly make such a clear improvement to my singing, I felt we're making so much progress every single lesson. She was attentive, fun, and an absolute joy to be learning from. I look forward to more lessons with her in the future, and I can't recommend her enough!
Aubrey is both clear in her instructions and patient with students especially since I am a beginner singer. Her warm personality makes every class an absolute joy. I love and look forward to our sessions together.
My lessons with Aubrey help me feel more confident in my singing, while also scratching the itch to work in music more professionally than I would have the opportunity elsewhere. As I've told Aubrey jokingly before, I chose her over BetterHelp.com (using music therapy in place of traditional therapy) and it was the right choice to make!
Can't wait to continue with Aubrey! Already improved a lot from one lesson. Thank you!
She makes you feel SO comfortable and is such a knowledgeable person!! I've taken lessons in the past and she is by far my favorite!
Aubrey was so amazing to work with! I just had my first lesson with her, and I went into it slightly skeptical on how effective an online-lesson could be for singing. I'd always thought my singing sounded a bit odd, but I could never pinpoint exactly what it was. But after hearing me for just a few minutes, she was able to put into words /exactly/ what I'd been feeling! She guided me through what and how to improve, all the while being so supportive and highlighting the strengths in my voice that I hadn't noticed either. She's amazingly friendly, attentive, and gave me so much direction in just a single session. I'm so glad I found her as my instructor, and I'm already looking forward to future lessons!
My daughter absolutely loved Aubrey and is excited to continue working with her!
Aubrey is so helpful and encouraging! I’m going to continue my lessons with her for sure.
I have learned so much from her!
Very patient. Makes great use of limited time.
I'm so glad I connected with Aubrey. She set me up for success for my first in person theatre audition. Looking forward to our next lesson.
Had five lessons and I had a great time and learned so much in all of them. I'm surprised how much improvement I saw with Aubrey's coaching! Fantastic experience all around.
I’ve had seven lessons with Aubrey so far and it’s been so much fun! She’s clearly a very knowledgeable and does a great job explaining how to get the right sound. I’m slowly starting to understand the nuances of using my voice and I never thought I would! She’s encouraging and just the best hype-person! I look forward to working with her more.
She was great and used the time wisely.
Aubrey is an amazing vocal coach. Within 2 weeks, she helped me find my chest voice and get ready to perform one of the hardest songs on Broadway at a level that is much better than when I started. Can't wait to keep working with her!
Aubrey is amazing! She has helped my daughter develop her character for her current show. She’s taken it from beginning to an amazing improvement! My daughter loves her and her style of teaching. We will definitely continue with her!
Aubrey helped corrected my technique, taught me warmups, and was always encouraging! Couldn't have asked for a better instructor
Having a blast learning from Aubrey. She is very knowledgeable and explains things in a very easy way to understand. She even breaks down all the nuances of a song in terms of feel, flow, diction, placement, etc to help improve your performance. Highly recommend Aubrey!
I learned a lot!
Aubrey is a truly amazing singing coach. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her craft and vocal technique. She acknowledged every little step that I grew and give very constructive notes to help me improve. She provides encouraging, energetic, and compassionate space to help me be more comfortable and more confident with my voice. I had tremendous growth just after 5 classes. It was such a fun and rewarding experience. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a vocal coach!
My employer gifted me virtual singing lessons, and I feel so lucky that Aubrey is my vocal coach. She listens carefully and provides detailed feedback. Indeed, I’m amazed she picks up subtleties (such as dynamics) during our virtual lessons! I appreciate her positivity and look forward to our time together. We have so much fun!
My singing has improved significantly since working with Aubrey. Even on songs that we aren't working on together! I appreciate her encouragement that makes me more confident to take risks and try new things in my singing, even if it doesn't turn out great the first time.
I don't have any singing experience and it has been a joy learning from Aubrey! I've noticed huge improvements through my classes already. She is patient and encouraging and goes through it step by step. She is always willing to get into it and make sure you understand. Super communicative and classes always productive and personalized :)
Aubrey is incredible and my daughter has grown so much as a vocalist under her tutelage! Highly recommend!
Aubrey is amazing. She’s professional, has great energy, and she really cares about the craft of acting and of helping you learn it. I can ask her any questions, she’s honest, and I’m so happy to have found her!
Aubrey is great, and I come away from each lesson a better speaker. My friends and coworkers have noticed the improvement from her coaching.
Aubrey is great in that not only does she create a comfortable space for learning, but she also is understanding and flexible when it comes to last minute changes.
She’s really amazing at what she does, I always look forward to seeing her and think about what we are gonna do next every day😄😄
Amazing instructor, she gives helpful lessons and practices for vocal training👌A1
I received singing lessons as a work BlueBoard reward. I hadn't had singing training since jr high choir, but enjoyed singing karaoke and in the car. My lessons with Aubrey exceeded my expectations - she gave clear feedback and I felt a lot of improvement over only 10 lessons! I would totally learn from her again
Aubrey was my first and best vocal teacher on this website. She helps me with so much and I couldn’t possibly make it as far as I am now without her coaching. The only thing stopping me from giving her 6 stars is the platform.
I'm feeling very lucky that I found you! Thank you for getting me ready for my song in a very short time. Can't wait to work with you on a regular basis to train my vocals!
Aubrey is an absolute star! Extremely helpful and wants you to succeed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Aubrey is very patient and encouraging. My 7 year old daughter had a great experience with Aubrey. I definitely recommend.
As both a hypnotist and martial arts instructor, I talk in a variety of vocal ranges. When I came to Aubrey, I was struggling because of the strain my martial arts instruction was having on my voice, leaving me unable to talk the next day. In just two sessions with Aubrey, I've already started to feel a shift in the way I speak, using the exercises she has taught me, and reaching a better, healthier sound with my voice. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for fun and efficient vocal training!
Helped me with confidence!
Appreciated the package of what we reviewed and went over. My time was not too long but I felt it was well spent and methods were given that I could work on further and practice. I would return for another lesson.
Aubrey is an amazing teacher and teaches in a fun and in-depth way! I enjoy every session and I learn a lot!
Aubrey is an amazing teacher, I highly recommend her! She makes you feel comfortable and is very patient. Shes also been very helpful on giving tips to help improve your singing voice
Aubrey is an exceptional teacher who goes above and beyond to bring out the best in your voice. She also is great at getting you focused not only on how you sound but also on how you move and portray yourself on stage. I have taken lessons with several other teachers on ******, and Aubrey has been the best with helping me perform overall, not just hit the notes. She's also very flexible with scheduling and was always able to accommodate my busy schedule.
Great lessons, very helpful!
Aubrey is amazing and is helping me shape my voice with control and relaxation. I am grateful and happy with the progress being made. Thank you so much!
She taught the first live class I ever attended. She’s super upbeat and encouraging. I was super nervous with it being my first class, but her positive attitude instantly helped me to feel relaxed. Will definitely work with her again in the future!
She Helps you With singing and acting, She has great presentations prepared for every class and is my favorite teacher for acting and singing!
Please disregard my earlier review. I was in Mama Bear mode and after having discussed the matter with Aubrey, I retract my statements. The only suggestion I might make is that she check in with the students about how they felt about their class today? I know time is limited and this would be easy to do in a perfect world. I truly appreciate the way she reached out to me and my child to explain the misunderstanding after the fact.
You kept my child muted almost through the whole class, even while he was singing and you paid little to no attention to him at all. He was excited to learn dynamics as a singer and you CRUSHED him. I used to teach private violin and I would never have acted so unprofessionally. You practically made him cry. This hurt us both.
Aubrey is an absolute gem — kind, professional, intelligent, funny, focused, and fiercely dedicated to her craft. Highly recommend!!
She is kind and knowledgeable teacher! She always gave me appropriate advices and I know exactly what I have to do. I took her lesson a month so far but definitely my voice is improving each lesson and I can't wait to see how much my voice will change in a few months, a year!!
Aubrey is the best! My performances are starting to come alive because of her expertise.
Aubrey is a kind, patient, and all around a wonderful teacher. She is knowledgeable & understanding of my 7 yr old daughter’s silly moments and is able to get her to refocus & really improve.
Aubrey is a fantastic she is a great fit for my 13yr old who is a lot more confident in public speaking after Aubrey’s magic touch.
I have had the privaledge of being around the most iconic talents ever in show biz because of my father Harvey Korman.So having heard Aubrey Sing it harkens me back fo my favorite singers Joanne Gleason Bernadette Peters and Eydie Gormes,Karen Carpenters.The best compliment I can give Aubrey is that she is a songstress.Thats a artists who can sing and tell a story with inflection in all the right places while she expresses her humanity through song.Like her idol Barbara Streisand she is just one exuisite artists that lives and breaths and embodies every song she sings.You would be hard pressed to study with anyone as polished and dedicated as Aubrey.I don't have a daughter but if I did I hope she ends up like Aubrey then I know what it is to have created a masterpiece.She is a second generation artists her father is also a very sublimely gifted artists Glenn Williams here in Vegas.
I have been taking lessons from Aubrey since last year and she has been a tremendous teacher! She has an uplifting presence and passionate spirit as well as a wealth of professional experience. Aubrey has a great way of letting me develop my character on my own, while also critiquing and pushing me out of my comfort zone. Become a student of Aubrey Williams and take your passion to the next level!
My name is Glenn W., and I am an Acting Instructor, Vocal Teacher, and Educator of the Performing Arts at ******, since 2005. I have received many awards and accolades during my tenure, (please feel free to peruse my Profile), and, to date, have accumulated over 75 student reviews, ALL 5-Star rated, and none of my reviews are ever solicited. I make mention of my successes as a preface to this review/recommendation because I believe that the young lady who has now made herself available for hire, Aubrey Williams, is on equal par with my abilities. I mentored Ms. Williams for many years here in Las Vegas, observing as she matured as a singer and actress, procuring many prime roles in productions around the Vegas Valley. Always hungry to learn and absorb, she ventured to Broadway and was accepted at the prestigious Marymount-Manhattan College in New York City. (Over a thousand applicants auditioned, less than 50 were chosen). After studying and further honing her craft with the Best of the Best in NYC, she secured her Degree in Musical Theater and returned to Las Vegas to contemplate her next professional move. In the interim, I hired her to teach at my studio, and observed her as she enriched the lives and skills of her students to such a degree as to astonish even ME, an old sage educator... It was her choice then to relocate to Los Angeles in 2019, where she was immediately accepted in the industry, and became gainfully employed as both a performer AND an educator. What is Las Vegas' loss, is now Los Angeles' gain. For any prospective actor OR singer, any age, wishing to begin a new journey in your life, or if you are already working professionally in the industry and desire to sharpen your skills, Ms. Williams would be my OVERWHELMING choice to guide and mentor you. She is passionate about her craft, and her passion is INFECTIOUS. She is currently a working actress and performer, so her skills are contemporary and relevant. She has a knack for providing what it is you require as an individual entity, to enhance your unique talents and presentation. And always, ALWAYS, her sessions are predicated upon having FUN. She is an amazing singer, a brilliant actress, and an accomplished dancer. In our business we refer to such gifted individuals as "Triple Threats"; and due to the fact that she has the extraordinary gift to TEACH these skills in a manner that is massively informative, enthusiastically creative, currently applicable, and passionately enjoyable, in my book makes Aubrey Williams a "Quadruple Threat"... If you are serious about this endeavor to which you are about to embark (and my guess is YOU ARE, or you would not be reading this right now...), look no further than Aubrey Williams to join you in your journey on a Magical Road to unleashing your abilities as an actor and/or a singer. Trust ME. It will the wisest, most satisfying and fulfilling investment you will ever make....
