MEET SETH & MARGARETA

​

Seth Riggs — Legendary Voice Teacher to the Stars

Margareta Svensson Riggs — Voice Teacher Trusted by Superstars and Legends

​

Two extraordinary careers. One exceptional partnership.

​

Who do Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Natalie Cole, Ray Charles, Brian Wilson, Prince, Avenged Sevenfold, Michael Bolton, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Barbra Streisand have in common?

​

They are among the extraordinary artists whose voices have been guided by Seth Riggs and Margareta Svensson Riggs, individually or together, across decades of music history.

​​

Seth Riggs has spent more than seven decades teaching some of the greatest singers in music history. From Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand, Madonna, and Ray Charles to countless others, his extraordinary career has helped shape the sound of popular music. The author of Singing for the Stars and founder of Speech Level Singing, Seth is perhaps the most celebrated voice teacher in the world, with more than 135 Grammy Awards earned collectively by artists he has taught.

​

Margareta Svensson Riggs is a voice authority in her own right and Seth's equal teaching partner, leading their sessions with internationally renowned artists including Stevie Wonder, Michael Bolton, and M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, as well as singers of every age, level, and musical genre.

​

She has made what she and Seth consider revolutionary discoveries about what the singing voice actually is and how it functions. Her discoveries go far beyond conventional approaches to voice teaching, revealing fundamental principles that now form the foundation of everything she and Seth teach together.

​

Her expertise as a voice authority, combined with her extraordinary ability to demonstrate precisely what a singer needs to do, her mastery of the piano, and her exceptional musical ear, brings an entirely different dimension to their lessons — creating a complete vocal and musical experience.

​

Both Seth and Margareta are accomplished performers in their own right. Seth performed for ten years on Broadway and with the New York City Opera. Margareta is an internationally accomplished singer, pianist, recording artist, and performer, with more than 6,000 performances worldwide, including for world leaders and celebrities. She has also served as an expert judge on the international television competition The World's Best.

​

"Whether you are a beginner or a superstar, regardless of musical style, if you aren't singing seamlessly throughout your range and making an impact on your audience — or if you're still experiencing vocal problems, whether you're disguising them or not — it's time for us to show you how to do it, so that you can do it too."

​

Seth and Margareta teach private voice lessons in person and online, and present vocal workshops and masterclasses internationally. They have studios in Los Angeles and Stockholm.
