Traditional, Classically-based singing lessons are not appropriate for modern commercial singers. To learn to sing Pop and R&B, you need to understand the very different requirements of each style, and how to adapt your voice to meet those requirements.
Andy Follin is a Certified Master Teacher (CMT) of Estill Voice Training, a revolutionary method of singing and learning to sing that puts the singer in complete control of their voice. With Estill Voice Training, the singer is empowered to make subtle choices, to use their voice in a natural way, and to take ownership of their own artistry.
As the only CMT working in the North of England, Andy is uniquely placed to assist pop singers in the area.
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 lesson with Andy today (see bottom of page).
