Roger Love
Roger Love has often been called the, “Voice Coach to the Stars.” For over twenty years he has been helping to build some of the most successful talents in the entertainment and business worlds. His work with recording artists in the studio has resulted in over 100 million album sales worldwide.
When Roger was 16 years old, he was already the singing coach for The Beach Boys, Earth, Wind, & Fire, the 5th Dimension, and The Jacksons. Since then he has continued to teach some of the most famous singers in the world , including the hit groups Matchbox 20, Eminem , Three Dog Night, Chicago, Scorpions, Mandy Moore, Papa Roach, Wilson Phillips, Def Leppard, Robbie Robertson, Bernie Taupin, Billy Idol, Motley Crue, Poison, Hanson, Phish, Al Jarreau, Lisa Marie Presley, and Iggy Pop. He has also trained actors and celebrities such as Alicia Silverstone, Essai Morales, Martin Landau, Victoria Principal, Marla Gibbs, Stefanie Powers, Elvira, Janine Turner, John Stamos, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Milla Jovovitch, Tyra Banks, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen, Christopher Lambert, and celebrity speakers such as John Gray (Men Are From Mars, Women Are from Venus), Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Suze Orman, and Tony Robbins. As well as top ranked radio hosts like Mike Reagan, Bill Handel, and Phil Hendrie.
In 1991 Roger wrote and produced the innovative video title, “Learn to Sing Like The Stars,” which was nominated as the “Best Instructional Video of the Year,” by Billboard Magazine and the American Film Institute.
In 1992 Roger created, “Pop Rock Warm-Ups,” for Warner Bros. Music. This remains as the best-selling chorale vocal warm-up program in the school system in the United States.
For over ten years, Roger has been part of the faculty at the prestigious UCLA – Extension Program for Entertainment Studies in Los Angeles.
In 1994 he became the head of the voice department at the prestigious New York Musical Theatre Works Institute.
In 1998 he became vice president of A&R at Extasy Records International, with headquarters in Los Angeles. The label is distributed by WEA (Warner Bros.) It is the Unites States division of a record company with an incredibly successful history in Japan and throughout Asia.
In 1999 Roger wrote, “Set Your Voice Free.” (Little Brown/ Time Warner). The critically acclaimed book and CD combination was instantly picked by the “Book Of The Month Club,” and by the “Quality Paperbacks” organization. It remains as one of the best selling books on voice in the country.
In addition to developing the most successful voice training program in the world, Roger is the President of Voiceplace Inc., an interactive media content company which specializes in the development, design, and fulfillment of vocal-related content covering both educational and entertainment properties.
As part of the WB’s hit TV show “POPSTARS”, he helped create the group “Eden’s Crush”…five girls that went from unknown to platinum selling stars in less than 10 weeks. Their first single went to number one on the Billboard music charts and sold over a million copies. The TV show broke 11 records for the WB that year, and was incredibly popular.
Roger’s first book, “SET YOUR VOICE FREE”, (Little/Brown) released in October of 1999 still remains as one of the top selling books on voice in the country. The paperback is due in stores this August and is directed toward an older demographic interested in “speaking” as well as singing. We believe the publicity from this release will trigger necessary media attention for “I Love to Sing!”
Roger is also working on a new DVD/video project with Razor & Tie, the company that’s sold over two million copies of “Darren’s Dance Grooves”, the top 10 biggest selling DVD and video of the year. Roger’s product will be a follow up to that very successful title, and be sold directly on TV with short form commercials featuring Roger and some of his biggest celebrities.
Roger has worked with Nightingale- Conant to create and produce “VOCAL POWER-Speaking with Authority, Clarity, & Conviction”, a seven CD audio program that will be marketed starting this April through large-scale direct mailing campaigns. The product also comes with a 60-page workbook and a one and one half hour video. The product is the most complete and effective communication audio program ever created with voice as it’s secret weapon.
Roger has also been a guest on many TV shows, entertainment programs, news magazine formats, and is one of the most in-demand public speakers in the world
