Adreana Gonzalez
Executive Director of HVF
Adreana Gonzalez has spent more than twenty years as a professional singer, actor, writer, dancer, producer, and vocal coach. Now, one of her greatest callings is providing access to world-class vocal education for artists who would otherwise never receive it.
​
Her journey began at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, where she stepped into the recording booth for the first time and quickly became the voice behind numerous radio spots and national commercials for companies like Mattel. As she deepened her own vocal study—ultimately training with Jeffrey Skouson and Seth Riggs in Speech Level Singing—Adreana discovered not only the full potential of her instrument, but also a desire to help others unlock theirs.​
Her dedication to vocal mastery led her to co-found Hollywood Vocal Studios in 2007, where she and Lee Lontoc have since developed and mentored some of the most compelling voices in the industry.
​
As a top vocal coach, Adreana has worked with artists such as Will Ferrell, Jessie Reyez, Lu Kala, Dior Goodjohn, Li Jun Li, Savannah Hudson of “Between Friends,” James Tormé, Vinchenzo, Graham Patrick Martin, Lexi Ainsworth and many more. She continues to collaborate with major and independent labels including Island Records, BMG, Geffen Records, Sony Music, Capitol Records, and Artist Publishing Group.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Yet over the years, Adreana saw a troubling pattern: talented singers with tremendous potential were being shut out of high-quality vocal training due to financial limitations. She witnessed firsthand how few programs provided truly modern, industry-level education — and how many gifted artists never had a chance to develop their voices, their artistry, or their confidence.​
Adreana established the Hollywood Vocal Foundation out of HVS Conservatory to bridge this educational divide and open doors for financially underserved singers across Los Angeles. Through HVF, she channels her expertise, industry relationships, and deep commitment to community into scholarships, mentorship programs, and accessible high-level training. Scholarship recipients receive comprehensive training in vocal technique, songwriting, performance, ear training, production, engineering, piano, guitar, branding, marketing, music business, and wellness—an immersive, modern curriculum designed by educators and professionals at the top of their fields.​​​
With 60% of HVS Conservatory students on partial or full scholarship each year — and 90% of donation funds going directly to student support — Adreana’s vision is as heartfelt as it is ambitious: to ensure that transformative vocal education is not a luxury reserved for the privileged, but a pathway open to every deserving artist.
Adreana continues to pour her expertise, time, and heart into the Hollywood Vocal Foundation, with a simple yet profound mission: to create a community where every artist, regardless of background, has the opportunity to be heard, mentored, empowered, and given the tools to thrive.
