Can an Online Vocal Teacher Really Transform Your Voice? Hear the Proof!
If you’ve ever wondered whether online vocal lessons with a private coach can truly improve your singing, the answer is a resounding YES—and today, I’m going to prove it to you.
Brand New to Beginners
If you’ve been following my blog or are familiar with my portfolio, you probably know that up until very recently, my coaching career revolved exclusively around celebrity singers. I mean, color-me-lucky that I have a roster of already successful singers under my belt already, but it's not something I chased specifically: my career path just organically unfolded that way. (That's a story for another blog article.) So, for years, I've worked as a vocal coach exclusively for artists who already knew how to deliver powerhouse performances.
But when Fiverr approached me to lead the implementation of their Fiverr Pro program, overseeing the rollout of online music lessons for voice, I thought it would be something cool and different to add to my resume. What I didn’t expect? That I’d be just as passionate—if not more—about working with A.) non-celebrities and B.) beginners.
3 Beginners, 3 Lessons Each
My first three students experienced such mind-blowing transformations that I knew I had to take this further. And so, for the first time in my career, I decided to go public with my vocal coaching—to help more people learn to use their voices, no matter their starting point.
And the results? Well, you’re about to hear them. Below, you’ll hear real before-and-after clips of my very first 3 students who, in three lessons or less, made incredible transformations with their voices.
These students came to me with zero vocal training, but they were all eager to improve. (Right attitude = 90% of the hard part. Read more about that here.) As you're about to hear, having the right attitude and the right vocal coach turned out to be the secret formula for the immediate success of these three novice singers.
If you've been searching for an online vocal teacher who delivers real, measurable progress—this is your sign.
Let’s dive in.
Student Number 1 – From First Lesson to Singing a Duet in Just 3 Sessions (Well, 2 Lessons, Technically...)
Student Number 1 had never taken a formal voice lesson before, but from the start, it was clear that he had natural musical instincts. He had an excellent sense of pitch and a cool, unique swagger in his baritone voice. During his third lesson, we did something special—we recorded a duet together live over Zoom. (Yes, ladies and gentlemen, what you're about to hear was recorded on Zoom because that's the name of the game with online vocal teachers - unless you're in New York City, we'll meet up on webcam... so yes, the audio is not recording-studio-level, but it's actually not bad...)
In under three sessions, he learned breath control, phrasing, and vocal blend, and really learned to bring out the unique colors previously hidden in his voice, allowing him to hold his own in a professional-level duet with a bona fide professional singer who's worked with the best of the best (how's that for intimidation?).
You'll hear us singing in the same audio clip as Student 2 below.

👂 Student Number 2 – From Pitch Uncertainty to Ear Training Success in Three Online Voice Lessons
Student Number 2 and I had been messaging back and forth for a while before we actually met for a lesson on Zoom. I almost fell off the piano bench when I heard her sing the first time because it gave me flashbacks to the day I took out a tape player and recorded myself singing. Student Number 2 and I started at exactly the same place.
That's all I'll say for now. I'll let you hear the progress she made in the recording below!
If you struggle with pitch accuracy, you don’t have to stay stuck. Virtual ear training with an online vocal teacher can help you find your voice and sing with confidence. Trust me, I went from the struggle bus to Carnegie Hall and now I'm here to help you nail it, too!
🌟 Student Number 3 – From the Silence: A Stunning Coloratura Voice
Student Number 3 told me right off the bat that she had never sung a note in her life, she had no clue what, if anything, would come out of these vocal lessons, but she was an open book and willing to try anything. She also mentioned that she spent a portion of her life being nonverbal and taking voice lessons was a way to push herself beyond her comfort zone to make up for lost time. I knew she was my kind of person right away - this is the beginning of someone's success story if I've ever heard one!
"You're willing to try... anything?" I asked. In every singer's first session with me, I do a lot of listening while they tell me about themselves, what they like, what makes them laugh. It's important for me to establish an authentic friendship with my singers because singing is so intimately tied to our emotions and our past traumas and our heartbreaks and our proudest achievements... Pretty much immediately after they start speaking, I know what voice type they are, what their challenges will be for singing, what they are going to be exceptionally good at with singing, all of that fun stuff. Singer Number 3 was giving me something I'd heard before, but not to this degree... never. "Okay then, can you whimper like a dog?"
"Oh, I'm actually very good at that," She responded.
(I knew it.)
And she whimpered like a dog way up into the stratosphere of her voice, navigating those whistle tones with such impressive skill and ease that I nearly fell off my piano bench (again). That day we discovered that she had a very rare (and extraordinarily preserved) coloratura soprano range, the type of voice millions of people across the world would kill for.
Since she was such a good sport and completely trusted me with her voice and her vocal journey, I came up with a little vocalise for her to sing (a vocalise is a piece of music for the voice that doesn't use words, rather it is sung on vowels). She made up a narrative to go along with this original composition about looking for a lost friend in the wilderness, and when she finds the friend, they harmonize together. Y'all better buckle up.
If you’ve ever doubted your own potential, let this be your proof—you have a voice worth discovering.
🎤 Why Online Vocal Training Works (Even Better Than You Think!)
If these transformations prove anything, it’s that virtual singing lessons work—often better than in-person coaching. Here’s why:
Skip the Nerves and Get Straight to the Voice!
I've found that, especially with beginner singers, we make much faster progress with online lessons than we do with in-person lessons. Why? My theory: there is definitely a window of time when people first start their voice training where the singer is getting comfortable letting someone else hear their voice in such an intimate setting. With in-person lessons, this period stretches out much longer than with virtual lessons because people are WAY more comfortable letting their inhibitions go when they are surrounded by familiar things instead of a strange music studio they've never been to before. Plus, when lessons are set in your home, it's easier to establish a regular practice routine in the same space in which you've just had a lesson. Much, much faster progress (and a fabulous online voice teacher doesn't hurt, either!).
