SINGING BEYOND THE NOTES: The Art of Vocal Interpretation, with Paulette McWilliams - Masterclass SATURDAY 10/18/25, 2-5pm PT



Paulette McWilliams leads a Masterclass in the Art of Vocal Interpretation: SINGING BEYOND THE NOTES, Saturday 10/18/25 from 2-5pm PT in-person at historic Enterprise Recording Studios in Burbank and over zoom. 

Only 8 singers get to work with Paulette in this hands-on, on-the-mic setting. There is the option to AUDIT (in the room or online) for a reduced fee. 

"A live performance is a conscious decision to reveal who you are through your music. This masterclass is the product of my findings after years of being on stage and years of guiding other artists. I want to help you become a truly memorable performer and deliver your message, in your style, with confidence." - Paulette McWilliams

Vocalist Paulette McWilliams has recorded or performed alongside some of the greatest voices of all time: Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion, Michael Bublé, Aretha Franklin, Lauryn Hill, Dolly Parton, David Bowie, Luther Vandross.... She brings a lifetime of wisdom as professional vocalist and coach to this vocal masterclass at The Songwriting School to help singers become complete vocalists.

When Aretha Franklin died, we all lost an icon. Paulette lost a friend and colleague. This is the level of experience you have access to in Paulette.

"I am a vocalist, not just a singer," Paulette remarks proudly. "I can do anything with the voice: demos, jingles, front person, background singer, close harmony duets, part of a choir, you name it. Whatever the situation, I can move a room with my voice. And it is my great joy to help others find that freedom and confidence in their own voices."

Paulette McWilliams has made a career as an artist herself and as one of the most in-demand background vocalists of the past many decades. The Songwriting School of Los Angeles is proud to offer this interactive masterclass for intermediate to experienced vocalists.

This masterclass is right for me if...
  • I have been singing for a while and I am trying to elevate my skills, confidence, and tools as a performer to connect with the material, myself, and my audience.
  • I have a handle on my vocal instrument and I am looking to be challenged to grow as person, vocalist, and artist.
  • I am ready to push myself as a performer under the guidance of a master
What if I'm a newer singer but I really want to work with Paulette?
Reach out to discuss your candidacy. Some less "trained" singers are ready sooner than others for this level of instruction. You could pay to AUDIT this first masterclass, to learn some principles from Paulette and prepare for the November Masterclass.

If you are early on your path figuring out your vocal instrument, you might be well served taking The Voice Lab with the great Bob Garretta small group class that builds technique and performance skills through regular exercises and individual work--or by working with Paulette Privately.
