I’ve been working with Brian for about 6 years now. I truly feel like I have grown as an artist with his coaching. He teaches performers to think for themselves and how to use the music as a catalyst for the acting. He’s professional and dedicated to his student’s success. Highly recommend.-Victoria Staley, Atlanta area actor
Brian worked with us on episode 409 of HBO’s Doom Patrol, which is a musical. Brian handled 10 to 15 actors, some who were not totally comfortable as singers, with such professionalism and insight that I believe we absolutely could not have completed the episode without him. He was so essential to the actor’s learning their parts and performing them, that I just cannot thank him enough. Great keyboard player, great vocal coach, great singer, straight up fantastic, professional MUSICIAN, I cannot say enough good things about Brian!! I work with the best musicians in LA every day, and Brian outshines many of them!!!-Kevin Kiner, composer and Emmy nominated and BMI Award winner
Brian was my coach and music director for my first “Mrs. Lovett.” He was one of the best music directors I’ve ever worked with. I could have never done Mrs. Lovett without him!! He was so patient and kind.-Elin Bhaird, Actor
During my college training at Oklahoma City University, Brian Osborne was one of the first people at OCU to truly make me feel comfortable in my skin. This allowed me to focus more on the performance aspect of the song and not spend so much time in my head. Brian’s heart and passion shines through his profound knowledge and depth of guidance, which will enable any and all of his students to be the best vocalist they could possibly be.-Christin Byrdsong, The Lion King National Tour
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Brian as an audition coach. He has helped me find new material, create audition cuts, and completely revamped my character development and story telling. He has an amazing way at pulling things out of you that you didn’t know you had, and I leave every session with confidence and a clear direction for my audition. Having successfully used his coaching, I highly recommend him when preparing for your next audition!-Brian Slayton, Atlanta area actor
Brian has helped me unlock so much with my voice in the last few months. I have been singing dream songs that I knew I could but couldn’t figure out how the magic placement and he’s helped me do that. I always feel a jolt of energy and confidence after working with him.-Courtney Morgan, Atlanta area actor

Please let me know how I can be of assistance to you in your company or you as a performer. As a performer, I will meet you at your level and will help you find your most authentic presentation. Looking forward to helping you take it to the next level!
I coach out of my home in Woodstock, but I am willing to come to you! I can’t wait!
