About Raul
Raul Morales was born and raised in Orange County, California. His passion for singing was nurtured at St. Jeanne De Lestonnac Elementary School, leading him to join two internationally acclaimed performing groups. At age 10, he was accepted into the All-American Boys Chorus, and at 14, he became a member of The Young Americans.
Raulβs passion for classical music flourished during his time at Mater Dei High School, where he competed in the opera division of several prestigious vocal competitions. He earned coveted awards at the Opera Pacific, Young Singer of the Year, and the Southern California Vocalist Association Competitions during his junior and senior years. He was also selected to be in the Orange County Youth Choir, under the direction of Bruce Bales.
Raul's dedication and talent also caught the attention of Dr. William Hall, head of the music department at Chapman University, who awarded him a full talent scholarship to join their highly regarded opera program.
Raul studied opera, musical theater, and pop styles with some of the most internationally distinguished vocal coaches including Richard Dastrup, Joan Simonek, Jan Ritschel, Edward Sayegh, Billy Purnell, Maurice Allard, Peter Atherton, Rachael Lawrence, and Guy Babusek. Raulβs last two coaches trained with Seth Riggs, renowned vocal coach and originator of Speech Level Singing, known for his work with numerous Grammy Award-winning artists
Raul has devoted over 30 years of his life to perfecting his craft and is not only an accomplished singer, but has developed such a refined ear, making his style of instruction incredibly precise and effective. His mission is to make his clients feel more confident in their craft, so they can be well-prepared to achieve success professionally, should they wish to pursue that.
His unique style benefits everyone tremendously, and he looks forward to continuing to share the wealth of knowledge he has acquired.
