  • Love it

    The topics are really great and interesting as a voice coach to listen to I particularly like the one about appreciating our own success

  • Good knowledge but flawed execution

    Edit: after listening to all of the episodes it appears they have resolved most of the technical issues that occurred in the first year. I have included my previous review below but amended my rating to reflect that they identified most of these problems and fixed them (though I would still like to hear a little more from Gillyanne and a little less from Jeremy).

  • Good knowledge but flawed execution

Seriously though, the experience of both presenters is clear, but it’s clear that a lot of these are cobbled together from parts of webinars, classes and other recordings, often in a disorganized way and dangling just enough new information to encourage listeners to pay for the full archive, and they come across as extended trailers rat... more

  • Combining science, artistry and humanity

    Benefit from the wisdom of two wonderful teachers with decades of research and experience producing unique insight and wisdom. And such clear discussions that recognise how what we know and understand about voice is always developing-and they are at the forefront of blending musical aesthetic, empowerment of the singer and vocal technique.
