About Extreme Vocal Institute Vocal Coach David Benites

David Benites is a vocalist and vocal coach specializing in vocal distortion and the owner of Extreme Vocal Institute. He has taught vocalists of all levels from all over the world, working in the studio and on tour with some of the most prominent bands in metal and artists in rock, country, rap, K-pop, musical comedy, acting and voice acting. David has been a guest clinician at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and The New York Singing Teachers' Association as an expert on extreme vocals.

David’s approach to teaching vocals comes from a combination of his background as a classical musician, knowledge of the human body from his experience on a powerlifting and bodybuilding team and passion for physical fitness, insight as a member of the metal community, and research of speech pathology and singing styles from a wide range of cultures and genres. His goal is to present information in a simple and clear way for others to understand and be able to replicate for themselves.

Energetic and enthusiastic, David’s optimism is contagious and apparent through his lesson videos posted on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok earning millions of views. His love for this craft is infectious and his personality shines through his instructional videos. Meet David and you’ll find that he’s exactly the same way, always smiling and ready to talk vocals. 

David’s devotion to music started as a child and only grew with age. He has a jazz, classical, choir and theater background and attended Berklee College of Music before leaving to pursue touring and vocal coaching full time. Beyond vocals, David is a multi-instrumentalist and excels in songwriting, engineering, production, mixing and mastering.
