Your Best Singing Is Still Ahead of You — Here's How We Get There Together
Not a course. Not a quick fix. Ten sessions of private coaching built around your voice, your goals, and where you actually want to be by the end of 2026.

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.

I Know What Bad Teaching Costs a Singer — Because I Carried It For Years
My first singing teacher left me with a limited range, the wrong vocal classification, a throat full of tension, and mental blocks I didn't even have the language to describe.
The cruel part? I kept performing anyway.
For years I sang professionally — shows, gigs, auditions — while quietly believing my voice was fundamentally broken. I turned down opportunities I didn't think my voice could handle. I watched other singers take roles I wanted and told myself they simply had something I didn't. I nearly walked away from performing altogether.
When I finally studied formally — a university degree majoring in voice — I hoped that would be the turning point. And in some ways it was. A second teacher gave me correct vocal technique for the first time. The foundations I'd been missing were finally there.
But the tension didn't just disappear. The mental scarring didn't lift overnight.
Years of believing my voice was broken, of bracing before every high note, of thinking I had to force a huge sound to be heard — that doesn't go away because someone shows you the right exercise. I still flinched. I still compensated. I still felt the weight of everything I'd been taught to believe about my own voice.
What eventually changed things wasn't a single lesson or a revelation. It was years of patient, deliberate re-education — studying deeply, and teaching others. Because when you have to understand something well enough to explain it to someone else, and then watch what happens when they apply it, you learn it at a level no classroom reaches.
That's where my real understanding of voice came from. Not just the technique — but the whole problem. The mechanical layer and the mental layer. The habits that live in the body and the beliefs that live deeper than that.
I've now been teaching for over 25 years. I've performed professionally in opera, musical theatre, and big band jazz. My YouTube channel has passed 200,000 subscribers. But none of that is really why people trust me with their voice.
They trust me because I understand what it's like to perform while secretly doubting your own instrument. To have tried the right things and still feel stuck. To know intellectually that your voice is capable of more, but not be able to access it when it matters.
That's not just background. That's the lens through which I listen to every singer I work with.
You're not broken. You may just have never had someone in your corner who understands the full picture — and knows how to work through both layers with you.
That's what these 20 weeks are for. And it's why I keep this small.

Why Personal Coaching Over 20 Weeks Changes Voices When Other Things Haven't
After 25 years of teaching, coaching over a thousand singers privately and learning from the struggles of more than 200,000 online subscribers, I've come to understand something that most singing advice misses entirely.
The gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to do it isn't filled by more information.
It's filled by someone listening to your specific voice, in real time, across enough sessions for real change to take hold.
Here's what I mean.
Most singers who come to private coaching aren't starting from zero. They've watched videos. They understand the concepts. They can tell you what good technique looks like. But understanding something intellectually and being able to feel it, reproduce it, and trust it under pressure are completely different things — and the distance between them is where most singers get stuck.
That distance closes through repetition, personalised feedback, and time.
Not a weekend workshop. Not four sessions. Not a course you work through at your own pace with no one listening.
Twenty weeks of fortnightly sessions means we work on something, you go away and practise it with the support of my between-session feedback, you come back and I hear what's changed and what needs adjusting — and we do that again, and again, until it's not something you're thinking about. It's just how your voice works now.
That's what this program is built around. Not a method you apply to yourself and hope sticks — but a guided, adjusted, personalised process with someone who has spent 25 years knowing exactly what to listen for.

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.
How Your Voice Will Develop Across 20 Weeks
Phase 1 — Assess & Release
Goal: Understand exactly what your voice needs and begin releasing what's holding it back.
- A detailed assessment of your voice, your habits, and your history
- Identifying where tension lives — in your body, your breath, and your approach
- Beginning the release work specific to your patterns, not a generic exercise set
- You'll leave the first session knowing more about your voice than years of practice alone could tell you
Phase 2 – Build Your Foundation
Goal: Strengthen your vocal cords and stabilise your tone.
- Targeted work on cord closure, airflow, and resonance
- Exercises chosen specifically for what your voice showed us in Phase 1
- Beginning to combine foundational techniques so they start working together
- You'll feel your voice respond with more clarity and noticeably less effort
Phase 3 – Build Your Range
Goal: Open up the notes that have felt out of reach or unreliable.
- Personalised range development work based on where your break actually sits
- Bridging chest and head voice in a way that works for your specific voice type
- Practical approaches to the exact pitches where you usually crack or brace
- You'll begin to sing through your break instead of around it
Phase 4 – Bring It Into Songs
Goal: Apply everything we've built to real repertoire — the music you actually want to sing.
- Working on songs together so technique stops being something you think about and starts being something you just do
- Real-time feedback on phrasing, tone, and expression in context
- Identifying where old habits creep back in when the stakes feel higher
- You'll experience what it feels like to sing a song the way you always imagined it

Bass players are usually ignored, and in 20 years of active gigging, I had rarely received much attention for my vocals. After using Ian’s exercises for about 12 months, I booked a four-pack of lessons, and his guidance and encouragement helped me make practical adjustments that improved my tone, pitch, and confidence. Now, when chatting with people after gigs, I occasionally get complimented on my vocal performance, something that never really happened before. Thanks Ian!!!

I came to Ian carrying twenty years of evidence that I simply couldn't sing. My voice was thin, unpredictable, and I'd long since made peace with the idea that some people just aren't built for it. I'm not an easy student, singing is exposing in a way that makes me genuinely uncomfortable, and I don't respond well to feeling incompetent. I nearly didn't show up for the first session.
Six months later, I have range I didn't know I possessed. What actually convinced me something had changed wasn't a dramatic lesson moment, it was singing along at home one evening and suddenly realising it felt easy. That I wasn't bracing for my voice to crack. That I didn't hate the sound coming out of me. That's a quietly extraordinary thing to experience after decades of the opposite.
Ian is affirming without being vague. He's specific about what's going wrong and precise about how to fix it, which is exactly what I need. His exercises are well-targeted, he works with music I actually want to sing, and he has the good sense to not make the process feel like homework. The fact that he can genuinely sing himself and has performed matters too. I look forward to lessons now. I didn't think I'd ever write that sentence.

I am a novice singer-songwriter with no formal musical training. I have been wanting to improve my singing abilities to make my own songs sound more professional. I came upon the 'Aussie Vocal Coach' on YouTube and many of the exercises seemed to touch upon areas where I was struggling.
Eventually, I connected with Ian for some personal lessons. He is wonderful to work with and gave me the boost I needed. Ian’s intuitive observations helped improve my tone, range, and resonance, while also helping my phrasing to present a more polished and connected performance.
