“I was told many years ago, by a singing teacher, I had the worst voice he had ever heard. Due to that, I lost the confidence to sing for many years.

Paul Sykes vocal coaching has transformed me from the worst ever to having faith in the improving sound of my own singing voice. Through Paul’s expert and professional vocal coaching, I know I am becoming the singer I have always wanted to be.” – Phil

…you make learning to sing fun, my lesson is the high point of my week…

“Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, patience and inspiration. I started off feeling apologetic about wanting to learn how to sing properly, as I had been told that I sounded like a cat being strangled. I really didn’t think I had much of a voice, just in my imagination.

It sounds like a whopping big cliche, but I feel that so many possibilities are opening up now. You are teaching me the nuts and bolts of singing, but in a way that builds my skills without confusing me with too much detail. You make learning fun, and yes, I can say that my lesson is a true high point of my week. Everyone has a voice, often hidden away. It takes real talent for someone to gently perservere in revealing that voice, and you certainly are doing that. Thanks again,” – Jane

“Paul has helped me to develop and grow as an artist. I just love jamming with him to my own tunes and listening to what he has to say about them.
Without him, I don’t think that I would have the understanding of myself and my musical direction that I have today. Nor would I know the secret to hitting very big notes without actually having to belt my guts out. So to sum it all up, Paul is a legend.” – Shalee Treharne.

“Without Paul to help guide my mind in a positive way I probably would have been scared out of my wits to perform live in public. The right type of unique voice exercises for my singing style gave me the confidence to go on stage that I really needed. Getting the right notes was no longer hit and miss. His patience, understanding and encouragement were very much appreciated. The best singing lessons I’ve ever had!!!” – ER

I have been seeing Paul for nearly 6 months now and have gained confidence through not just singing but stage performance and recording. Paul’s wide range of knowledge has given me an insight into the music industry. He has changed the psychology behind my singing and look forward to everything else he has to offer in the future.” – Danni Teychenne

“Hi my name is Marc Galletti. I have been one of Pauls’ students for 11 weeks now and he has turned my view of singing around. Doing pub gigs used to leave my voice sore and tired but through his techniques and brilliant knowledge of the voice i am starting to learn that it doesn’t have to be a strain to be a singer, especially a good singer. I look forward to each lesson as i endeavor to learn more of these fantastic methods. I advise anyone who’s remotely interested in singing to give Paul Sykes a try, he’s a very easy going teacher.” – Marc Galletti

“I’ve been singing in pubs and clubs for years before commencing formal vocal training with Paul. I’ve found that Paul has been able to effectively prescribe, describe and demonstrate vocal exercises in ways previous teachers simply could not. Through these exercises I’ve learned how to refine my voice. It’s now more effective and efficient. Paul’s wealth of knowledge on the craft of singing keeps me excited in discovering the dynamics of my voice.” – Julianne Bremner.
