About Me
I started singing when I was very young, anywhere I could! My formal training started in choir and band, where I learned how to read music and sing harmony. I trained classically and in pop/R&B, and finally found that musical theater was my forte’. I started assistant teaching at a local performing arts studio, and after high school I moved to New York City and trained at the American Music and Dramatic Academy. I have performed all over the United States, Canada, South America and Mexico. A few roles include How to Succeed… (Rosemary), Forum (Philia), Kiss Me Kate (Lois/Bianca), Putting it Together (younger Woman), Crazy for You (Irene), A Chorus Line (Maggie), Seussical the Musical (Mayzie), A Little Night Music (Petra), Barry Manilow’s Copacabana (Lola) and Fiddler on the Roof (Chava).
I continued teaching whenever possible, and eventually realized that was where my true passion was. My students have performed at venues such as the Candlelight Pavilion, Crystal Cathedral, Performance Riverside, Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland, The Fox Theater, and many other venues in Southern California. A few of my students have made it to Hollywood Week on American Idol, and one of my students is in the performing group 5 Little Princesses, currently touring. In addition to my private voice lessons, I founded Musical Kids in 2004 , a program that brings music, dance and theater to preschools throughout southern California. I was the vocal instructor for the Fender Center of Performing Arts in Corona, CA (now "Kids Rock Free"), from 2007-2012. I started the vocal group, “In the Mix”, a group of Fender students ages 7-17 that performed all over the Inland Empire and Orange County area. I now offer private voice lessons, audition coaching and a vocal performance group "Major Minors" at my studio. I love what I do, and I am thankful for all of my students!

I’m the type of person that asks a lot of questions about different technique. I needs someone to explain things very clearly in order for me to understand, and Brittany is really good at that!

Brittany is energetic, helpful and always positive. Based on your skill level she adapts in her teaching methods. She has a great selection of Broadway style music to learn from but teaches a broad range and is great in helping you choose a song that fits your voice. I’ve only begun working with Brittany a few months ago and my husband agrees that I have come very far from where I was, now knowing how to stretch my voice without straining learning techniques from a myriad of warm ups. I would highly recommend her as a singing instructor, especially if you are interested in auditioning for musical theater. In fact, I have recommended her to my sister as I think my nine year old niece would love singing with Brittany.

~I was looking for voice lessons for my daughter when I came across Brittany McMains. Being new to voice lessons and not really knowing what to expect, I signed her up and started weekly lessons. That was about a year and a half ago now, and we are still going strong! Brittany’s great with the kids, and is always patient, professional and has a teaching style that my daughter looks forward to every week. My daughter’s vocal skills have improved tremendously over the last year or so, and are due to the skills taught by Brittany. Brittany has also provided opportunities to perform in front of an audience that is invaluable for the growth of a young aspiring singer. Thanks Brittany!

My daughter has been going to Brittany for private lessons for three years now. She has helped my daughter tremendously, not only with bettering her skills, but with building her confidence and comfort. Brittany is nothing but encouraging, always maintaining the "You CAN do it" attitude. She is not only an awesome professional, she's an amazing, kind, and genuine person...what more could anyone ask for in a vocal coach? :)

BRILLIANT! If I only could describe Brittany in one word, that is what it would be. For me finding Brittany's Vocal Studio was and is the beginning of my daughter's dream come true!!! My daughter loves to sing and now with Brittany's help she enjoys singing so much more. Brittany has an incredible sense about one's singing voice. She has taught my daughter to use her voice in a healthy and safe way in no time. Brittany sets up great venue's for performances....venue's where family and friends can go and enjoy these beautiful talents. My daughter is looking forward to performing at Disneyland for the first time with a group Brittany put together. THANK YOU BRITTANY!!! We are so lucky to have found Brittany McMains Vocal Studio. If you get the chance DO NOT PASS IT UP!
