Andy is a professional vocal coach, not a school teacher or piano teacher doing a few singing lessons in their spare time. Unlike a lot of voice teachers, Andy does not insist on long-term tuition, where students have to attend regular lessons, repeating the same exercises until their voice improves. You can attend as often as you like, but there's no compulsion to attend every week or every fortnight. In fact, many students only book sessions every 4 to 6 weeks.
Estill Voice Training™ is known for producing quick results. Quite often, Andy finds that long-standing problems can be fixed in the first few lessons. At your first session, Andy will give you an assessment of your abilities and draw up a plan that ensures you get to where you want to be, as quickly as possible.
If you're ready to take your voice to the next level, book a singing lesson with Andy today (see bottom of page).
Andy runs studios in St Helens and Manchester, so is ideally located for students in the Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire areas. Please check out the separate pages for students from Liverpool, Warrington, Widnes / Runcorn, Wigan, Cheshire, Lancashire and North Wales.
Although Andy works mainly with professional singers, he's more than happy to work with serious students at all stages of their career development, to ensure they're given the right guidance at the right time.
For professional singers, Andy can help with gig and audition prep, vocal strengthening, range improvement, tonal balance, learning new vocal styles and voice rehabilitation for those occasions when things have gone slightly off track. If you're an opera singer who is suddenly having difficulties, or a lead singer in a band just looking for a vocal MOT before an important gig or audition, Andy will be happy to help you.
If you've recently graduated and are preparing for professional auditions, Andy will give you an honest opinion of your performance and the kind of feedback you might hope to get from an audition panel (but don't always get!)
If you're leaving higher education and want to audition at a major college, Andy can help you prepare your audition material and work through any technical difficulties to ensure you present yourself in the best possible light.
If you're unsure about your voice and just want a professional opinion of your abilities, Andy will be happy to arrange a consultation where you can discuss your needs and desires - and help you draw up a plan of action.
Andy passionately believes that all singers deserve the best tuition. This especially applies if you're fairly new to singing, but serious about your future. At this stage, it's vitally important that you're taught the basics - and taught them properly. Whether you want to be an opera singer, a lead in a musical, a front man in a band, a solo artist or a worship leader at your local church, Andy will ensure that you learn at your own pace, giving you the time and freedom to discover your own voice.
Andy has great experience of teaching singers how to 'cross over' styles. If you're an opera singer who wants to audition for musicals, or a pop singer with a Jazz gig coming up, you'll need to understand the different techniques required to make you sound authentic. Andy can give you this knowledge in a way that will seem like second nature, as though you've been singing that way all your life!
