Singing Still Feeling Harder Than It Should?

In 4 Weeks you can reduce tension, build reliable high notes, and finally understand how your voice works.

 

Does This Sound Like You?

  • ✅ Your high notes feel tight or strained
  • ✅ Your voice cracks or tires quickly
  • ✅ You practice regularly, but you’re never sure if you’re doing the right things
  • ✅ Confidence comes and goes instead of building steadily

Why Most Singers Struggle 

 

Your range, habits, coordination, and tension patterns are unique to you. That’s why even helpful exercises — like the ones you may have discovered on my YouTube channel — can only take you so far on their own.

Many singers make progress initially, but then hit a plateau because they’re still applying general guidance to a very specific voice.

Without personalised feedback, it’s easy to:

  • Practice good exercises in the wrong way

  • Miss the real cause of tension or instability

  • Reinforce habits that feel productive but don’t fully solve the issue

That’s when progress starts to feel inconsistent instead of steady and reliable.

Private coaching bridges that gap by turning general advice into specific adjustments that work for your voice.

I Know This Because I Struggled as a Singer

 

I’m Ian Castle, your Aussie Vocal Coach.

When I first started singing, I had plenty of passion but very little guidance.

I pushed, strained, and developed habits that made singing feel like hard work — especially on higher notes.

For years, I genuinely believed something was wrong with my voice.  I avoided songs that went above my break and could hardly sing for 10 minutes without my voice getting tired.

It wasn’t broken, I simply hadn’t been taught how to sing efficiently, with the right coordination. Once I understood how my voice actually worked, my high notes became easier and my break smoothed out — not overnight, but in a way that was reliable and repeatable.

That experience shaped how I teach today and with my guidance you can see real progress by joining my 4 week coaching program.

Inspiring Stories From My Students

 

Marcia Lucas

Ian was a huge help to me as I was preparing to sing a soprano solo in the Messiah for the first time. My high notes were tight and the transitions between my high and low registers were choppy. Ian was patient and insightful, making useful suggestions for exercises and techniques to loosen up my voice. When the time came for me to sing the solo, I was relaxed and confident. The sound flowed from me to the audience in a way that had never happened in rehearsal. Several friends told me later that the solo was stunning! I would never have made that much progress without Ian's guidance. 

 

 

Bill McGowan

Working with Ian has truly transformed my singing. His coaching and YouTube videos are a wealth of vocal knowledge. Ian helped me understand why my voice was breaking and taught me the techniques to navigate those transitions smoothly. Thanks to his guidance, I can now hit high notes I once thought were impossible, and my confidence and skill have grown tremendously. I’m truly grateful for everything I’ve learned.

 

How This 4-Week Coaching Program Works

 

This is private, one-on-one coaching, designed to help you either:

  • ✅ Learn to sing correctly from the ground up
  • ✅ Fix the specific issues holding your voice back right now

Over four weeks, we’ll:

  • ✅ Identify what your voice actually needs
  • ✅ Reduce tension and effort
  • ✅ Improve range, control, and consistency
  • ✅ Build confidence through clarity, not force
  • ✅ Create a clear practice plan so you always know what to work on

This is Why Private Coaching Makes the Difference

 

Every voice is different.

That’s why this isn’t group coaching and it isn’t a generic program.

In private sessions, I can:

  • ✅ Hear exactly what your voice is doing
  • ✅ Identify where tension or imbalance is coming from
  • ✅ Adjust exercises in real time
  • ✅ Help you understand why something works, not just what to do

That level of feedback is what accelerates progress and builds confidence quickly.

Before I became his student, I was a long time follower of Ian Castle and a religious practitioner of his online vocal exercises. After I started taking lessons from him, I benefited from his structured teaching style, gentle feedback, his attention to details, personalized and to the point exercises. Being a Turkish singer, I was impressed by his ability to quickly understand, adjust and cater to a musical style which he wasn’t familiar with. He makes every lesson fun, engaging and deeply productive. He’s an exceptional instructor that I would recommend to any singer who wants to advance his/her singing.

 

This is What’s Included

 

When you sign up and become a private student of mine, you’ll receive:

✅ 4 x 30-minute private coaching sessions with me
✅ Weekly lesson plans tailored to your voice and goals
✅ Clear guidance on what to practise and why, so you’re never guessing
✅ Focused support to help you build confidence and consistency

This is not a course or group program. It’s hands-on, personalised coaching designed around your voice.

 

The investment for the 4-Week Private Coaching Program is:

$497 USD

 

This reflects direct, one-on-one coaching and a personalised plan designed specifically for your voice.

I want to be upfront about something.

Because of the level of personal time and attention involved, this price is unlikely to stay this low. Future intakes will almost certainly be priced higher to reflect the true workload and support required for private coaching at this level.

Because this is private coaching, I’m limiting this program to just 10 singers.

There are over 100 singers on my waitlist, but I keep cohorts small so I can give each singer real attention and support.

Once these spots are filled, enrolment will close and I won’t be accepting new students again until availability opens — at which point pricing may be higher.

Gareth O'Neill

I’m a hobby musician in my forties trying to teach myself to sing after years as a guitarist. 

After three or four months of following exercises I worked up the courage to arrange my first lesson. Ian put me at ease and we went through some exercises to check my range and look for any bad habits to work on.  Ian is always encouraging and provides practical advice on improving my delivery. I always come away feeling like I’ve improved my performance of the song.

I can highly recommend Ian as a teacher. He’s a great chap and makes the lessons enjoyable and constructive. Having a regular lesson has kept me honest with practise and I am definitely a far better singer than when we started. If you’ve never taken lessons before give it a shot, you’ll probably surprise yourself. You will be in safe hands.
