Vocal Boot Camp is a two-week artist makeover set in downtown Los Angeles. The backdrop is an open studio space outfitted with the best choreographers, vocalists, pianists, guitarists, bassists, and more! Students are challenged and pushed daily to become better performers. Students will get a rare opportunity to record at the famed Westlake Studios complex where Michael Jackson recorded his record-smashing Thriller album that remains an industry standard nearly 30 years later! Each student will also learn how to produce their own music and attend master performance classes. With many surprises in store for the students, the Vocal Boot Camp staff will specifically design personal success strategies for each student. "Plant a seed and watch it grow!" is how Vocal Corner Store Founder Nick Cooper best describes the experience of the Vocal Boot Camp.
