I damaged my voice a little while back, and was advised to get
singing lessons by my throat doctor, Dylan was not the first teacher 
in the Southampton area that I went to see, but after a couple of 
lessons I found that the previous teacher was showing me things that
I know where not right, that's when I found Dylan. He has helped me
to support my voice properly and to stop singing in my throat, these
two things where the main reason for me damaging my voice in the first
place.

      Thanks for all your help,

                          Stu Simpson

 I've been singing in bands for years now and picked up many a bad habit,
most noticeably singing from the throat and a lack of proper support 
translating into pitch problems, and an ever dwindling confidence.

I went to Dylan wanting to start from scratch to correct my technique and 
ultimately get my voice in a healthier place. 

Dylan has left no stone unturned in finding what works for my voice and 
has remained committed to providing both practical and theoretical
knowledge to help me in a positive direction.  

You won't find a better coach, or a better human being for that matter!

'Hey guys. I've been vocal training with Dylan for only a few months and 
in such a short time my voice has come along a long way. I have been 
able to rebuild my singing technique and noticed how my voice has much
more clarity to it and definitely has less tension. This has given 
confidence to my performances and given me a wider range of songs 
to sing. I would definitely recommend everyone to Dylan as a vocal
coach as he's awesome, relaxed and definitely kicks some ass'

 About a year ago (2007) me and the rest of my band were looking for a 
new singer to take over lead vocals.  After spending a few months looking 
we realized that it was going to be hard to find someone who was right for 
us. It was then that we decided that I would give lead vocals a go.

Before I started the lessons I had only done backing vocals and was low on 
confidence.  Since meeting Dylan he has helped improve every aspect of 
my voice by greatly expanding my range, teaching me the correct techniques
to protect my voice, improved my tone and most importantly has given me 
the confidence to get up and sing in front of people.  Since starting my
lessons around this time last year (August 2007) my band has headlined at
both The Joiners and The Talking Heads, something I could not have done
without Dylan's Help.

On top of all that he is a decent bloke with a good sense of humor bringing 
a relaxed feel to every lesson.

Dylan has been, and continues to be an excellent vocal trainer, each
lesson has been a positive step towards my ultimate goal of total
protection of my singing voice through learning proper, safe
technique. As a professional singer I need to be at the top of my game
to stay ahead and I would highly recommend Dylan's vocal techniques
program to help anybody achieve that.

I started lessons with Dylan in January this year (2008) and 
in the short time that I've been learning from him I have realized 
that he has an amazing talent for teaching vocal skills. This paired 
with his enthusiastic attitude and genuine interest in helping me 
improve has brought me miles on and my confidence has rocketed! 

I feel I am now building to when I can start performing rather than if
I ever will. I have managed to pick up most of his techniques quite 
quickly but there are of course no guaranteed timescales. I would 
certainly recommend Dylan to anyone who wants to really get stuck into 
singing, it takes commitment... it's definitely worth it; my singing 
feels easier and sounds professional!

 Dylan's been teaching me for little over 3 months now and in this 
short space of time listeners have already noticed an improved quality 
and power in my voice. 

I've had several teachers in the past who haven't come close to the 
attention Dylan pays when you sing. He'll identify any  problems or
places to improve and after practicing his suggested technique you'll 
no longer have the problem! Lessons are also made easier due to the 
friendly and relaxed manner in which Dylan will teach.

I could go on forever and really wouldn't have a bad word to say.

Legend.

When I 1st came to Dylan I was a self taught singer and had never had a 
singing lesson despite singing in a rock band for years. I felt the time had 
come that I needed to learn the foundations in order to elevate my vocals to
the next level.
 
He definitely knows his stuff and has a great relaxed teaching style. Within 
a few sessions he was able to pin point my bad habits and through the 
use of several key exercises I no longer felt myself straining for the
high notes and my vocal cords started to open and feel relaxed.  My overall 
tone and control also improved due to the techniques which he was able to 
impart.He knows all the tricks and can hit things from several angles in 
order to instil the correct method for delivering confident and controlled 
vocals.
 
I had contemplated going the online or CD tuition route but within minutes 
I knew I'd made the right call in having 1 to 1 sessions. I was sure my voice 
was on the road to being damaged due to bad technique but now I can sing
for long periods without feeling any strain. I feel that my lessons with
Dylan are a wise investment for the future.
 
I've had nothing but praise on how much my vocals have improved and it 
shows through on my recent recordings. All around me have noticed it, 
so much so that I now feel the need to re-record all my old material 
in order to present my vocals as they are today.
 
The guy's a genius!

  I highly advise taking singing lessons with Dylan as they are both 
entertaining and fruitful. His boundless enthusiasm and Knowledge 
is infectious, allowing all levels from beginners to advanced to get up 
and have a go, his outlook ensures that you gain invaluable positive 
feedback and his musical ability inspires you to carry on.

  If your looking for a chilled out, relaxed yet high output singing
lesson then Dylan is your man. 

Since starting my lessons with Dylan I have come along so far, I have learnt
 so much, and the good thing with Dyl he doesn't only have one method of 
teaching so if something's difficult, he WILL find a way around it. 
Amazing tutor.
