What happens after I pay?
You pay through Stripe’s secure checkout. Then you sign in at members.tedsvoiceacademy.com with the email address you paid with: type it in and I send you a sign-in link. There is no password to set, and it works on your phone, tablet and computer.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time. In the Studio, press the “Manage my subscription” button, then Cancel. You keep access through the period you have already paid for, and nothing renews after that.
Is there a free trial?
There is no free trial, and your first 30 days are covered: if the Studio is not right for you, press Refund my first payment in the Studio within 30 days, and your first payment comes back to your card in full. You can also cancel any time before it renews. To try something free first, take the click-through tour of the real Studio, use Pitch Matcher, take my free course Vocal Health Essentials for Singers, or join my monthly newsletter.
Where do I start?
Bring one goal or question. Build a routine in Vocalise Studio, open the song you are learning in the Song Practice Player, or mark a script in Reading With Meaning. There is no required path through the whole collection; “Your first week” above has two suggestions.
Where can I find free sheet music to sing?
The Online Voice Studio holds 60+ public domain songbooks and single songs as PDFs you can read on a screen or print, more than 7,000 pages in all. They are sorted by the voice each book was published for. Public domain means the copyright has expired and the music is free to use.
What tongue twisters actually help my diction?
The Tongue Twister Lab holds 200+ lines. Sixteen groups each work one specific thing: lip precision, tongue-tip agility, the two TH sounds, R against L, clear word endings, numbers and names. Five more groups hold 40 classic tongue twisters, sorted by sound. Each group comes with a short guide, in a standard version and a youth version for ages 14 to 18; the lines are the same in both.
How do I practice reading out loud?
There are 35+ practice scripts, each one built around a single speaking skill: introducing yourself, explaining something, making a case, telling a story, which word matters, pace and pauses. Reading With Meaning lets you mark stress, breaths and pauses on your own text before you read it aloud.
Which vocal warm-up should I do today?
50+ warm-ups and handouts, grouped by the kind of day you are having: a first warm-up, everyday use, a tired voice or an early call, a whole chorus, and one particular voice type or style. Vocalise Studio can also build a routine for your goal and the minutes you have.
Do I need to be able to sing already?
No. There is a shelf for a first warm-up, written for somebody who has never done one, and every item in the library has a short description, so you know what it is before you open it. Many of the warm-ups also show how many minutes they take.
I am a speaker, not a singer. Is this for me?
Yes. Reading With Meaning, Speaking Under Pressure: Conversation Practice, the 35+ practice scripts and the Tongue Twister Lab were built with speakers in mind, and Pre-Show Calm and Vocalise Studio serve speakers and singers alike. Warm-ups work the same voice either way.
Can I use it with my chorus, quartet or students?
For your own practice and your own performing, use all of it, and print a sheet and mark it up. If you sing in a chorus or a quartet, the group warm-up is there to run with your own group. The files stay inside the Studio, so each singer, speaker or student who wants the tools needs a membership of their own. For group ear training, I sell group licenses for the Intonation Lab, from a quartet up to a large group.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, on a phone, tablet or computer, in your web browser. There is nothing to install. Some tools save your work to your account and some only in the browser you use; each tool’s own Help in the Studio says which.
Do the tools use my microphone?
Some do, to hear you sing and show what they hear, and your browser asks your permission first. Many need no microphone at all. Every tool on this page says whether it uses one.
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
The tools that listen check your voice on your own device. Some let you record and replay yourself, and each app explains what it keeps. Songs you open in the Song Practice Player play from your device and are never uploaded.
Can I buy a course instead of subscribing?
Yes. Courses are also sold outright, one at a time, and buying keeps that course with no time limit. Studio + Courses opens every course and all the tools for as long as your membership runs.
Is this the same as lessons with you?
No. This is the material. Lessons are the hour where I listen to your voice and tell you what I hear. If you want that, the free 15-minute call is where you start.
Is new material included in my plan?
Yes. New tools, warm-ups and library material are included in both plans, and new courses are included in Studio + Courses. I add to the Studio most weeks, and your price stays the same for as long as you stay a member.
Where do I sign in?
At members.tedsvoiceacademy.com. Type your email and I send you a sign-in link. There is no password to remember.
