Clear vocal diagnosis.
Practical solutions.
Better singing.
Audition prep
A note that won’t sit right
A “take” that isn’t landing in the studio
A full technique overhaul
Whatever’s not working, get it diagnosed and get it fixed
If a teacher has already helped someone with your exact problem, they can probably help you too. If they haven’t you’re the experiment.
With 23 years of experience, across beginners and professionals, classical to musical theatre to rock, there isn’t a vocal problem I haven’t already seen.
If I don’t think I’m the right fit, I’ll tell you - and point you toward someone who is, rather than take your money for the sake of it.
“Singing Teacher” isn’t a protected title. Anyone can call themselves one - trained or not, tested or not, results or not.
Three ways to work with me
One-to-one coaching, group and choral direction, or training the teachers. All built around your goals, not a generic syllabus.
Beginner to working professional - we start with a proper voice assessment, then build a plan around your goals, not a fixed curriculum.
In Liverpool, UK (face to face) or online, anywhere via Zoom
Lessons recorded for you to practise from
Studio session support before recording dates, or in the studio on the day itself

"I came to Ian after having suffered an emotional setback that severely affected my voice. After working with him for several months I have noticed how my instrument has gone up a level, not only overcoming the blockage I felt but also expanding my vocal, expressive and teaching capabilities. I have had lessons with teachers all over the world and Ian is, without a doubt, one of the best. You have to have lessons with him! Thanks Ian!"

"As a vocal coach, I have worked with some of the best vocal teachers of our time for my own development. Over time, you develop a sense of what helps you and what doesn't. For this reason, I wholeheartedly recommend Ian Davidson. His experience in vocal analysis is remarkable. He is very goal-oriented and works in a friendly manner. If you want to make fast progress, book a lesson with Ian. He is the right person for you!"

"Having recently done some studio recording, it was so helpful to able to bring the songs to the sessions and work on them individually. This increased my confidence massively when it came to recording. Having experienced other vocal tution previously, Ian's has been by far the best. I couldn't recommend him more."

“I began taking vocal lessons with Ian in November 2022. Since then I have seen immense changes in my voice and a greater understanding of how my voice works, which has made me a more confident singer and performer. I also now have many more tools to use with my students. In February 2023, I had the pleasure of travelling to Thailand to observe Ian teach masterclasses and lessons in person. I learned more in that one week from him than I have learned in all my years of teaching. I am so grateful to be under his guidance and look forward to being a better singer and music educator with him as my teacher and my mentor.”
