STARFACTORY ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
Private
Star Factory Artist Development is a vocal coaching and artist-development studio on West Eight Mile in Oak Park, founded by singer-songwriter Brandon Smith and built around his 'The 5 Phases of Singing' method. Clients work through voice coaching, stage presence, songwriting and studio recording sessions, offered as 1-on-1 development, group vocal technique classes and studio time. Its youth offering is a year-round track called Star Status Kids; the studio's own site lists no summer camp, though third-party directories mention a kids camp.

★★★★★Javante DavisStar Factory is a dope place that feels like home! The environment is welcoming, safe, and inspiring. Brandon truly pushes everyone to find their greatness and helps enhance our talents in ways we never thought possible. His dedication and guidance are unmatched, and the support from the entire team creates a space where you can grow and thrive. I’m grateful to be apart of the team.
★★★★★Kayla MorseI love Star Factory!! I’ve been apart of the artist book camp for about 6 months and counting. I’ve learned so much about technique and singing properly. I notice I’m using what I’ve learned when I’m performing. In addition to vocal training and technique, I have gained more performance skills. Learning how to curate a show and making it truly entertaining has been invaluable. Having access to a good quality studio and learning how to record myself and creating content has been helpful. If you’re serious about your craft and getting to the next step, SF is where it’s at! You can see what I’ve learned from Star Factory all over my Instagram @ylathesinger 😊
★★★★★Kyndal KillebrewBrandon is a great teacher! He knows how to find ways to teach you in the way that you learn. I get nervous a lot and he has a ton of patience, so Im starting to feel less shy when singing! I went to his classes years ago, and Ive been back for about 3 or 4 sessions and I already see progress! Brandon is also extremely professional, I've come across a lot of people in the music world that are frankly not good people, but when I'm at Star Factory I feel really safe which is extremely important to me and the main reason I returned here and will always suggest other singers go to him. Thank you Brandon for not only being a great teacher, but also for helping me to rebuild my confidence and give my dreams another chance! If you're reading this review, go sign up now and thank me later! 3.16.23 Update: Google asked me to update my review. I've been back for a year now and I'm sad that our specific class is coming to an end soon but this has been a fun and insightful journey. I'd still recommend Star Factory to any music artist! Whether you want to be a star or you just want to practice doing what you love, network, maybe even make some friends, sign up now!
★★★★★MaMeMuBrandon Smith truly understands technique and relaying what's happening internally to help his students/clients achieve certain notes. Some things I struggled with for YEARS finally clicked in just the first two to three private lessons I had with him!
