James P.
The course you wish you had from day one.
At this stage I have only purchased the Udemy TVS course which to my understanding is a "Lite" version of the full TVS Four Pillars of Singing Course. As a precursor to my review I would like to start by saying I have been singing now for 5 years and gone through a series of different vocal coaches due to the change in my geographical living situation and also searching for vocal coaches who are the right "Fit". In my experience I have noticed that very few vocal coaches resonate with me in that they can answer my technical questions and even understand their own methods to why they teach what they teach. In addition to this, I have had few vocal coaches that had the ability to help me produce acceptable results and understanding in a reasonable amount of time. At the point of this review I would say that I am about 70% through the Udemy course content and have learned so many teachings that have either supported well explained concepts from other teachers in the past, or that this course has absolutely taught me new concepts that nobody else has been able to explain to me in such a simple and detailed delivery to help me understand. Furthermore, I really value that these ideas, concepts, methods etc. are then backed up by practical application of Robert singing. We all have different learning abilities and for someone like myself who is a visual learner and needs to understand everything in an easy, step by step manner, Robert's teaching style is very friendly, enthusiastic, easy to follow, and just an absolute pleasure to watch. Occasionally he makes me laugh with some of his personal quirks where it is apparent he LOVES to do what he does, and that's sing and help others do the same. In fact, for someone like myself who struggles to sit and study, I get excited to grab my pen and notebook with a coffee and take notes to what he is explaining. I often have those "Ah huh"! moments where things "Click" because I now understand something that might not have been well explained before or Robert might offer a fresh perspective that just makes sense. TLDR: This is the online course I wish I had known about years ago at the start of my vocal journey. No online or text book course, in my opinion, will ever substitute 100% for in person physical vocal coaching, however this is as close as you could possibly hope for; and Robert does offer real time face to face coaching, too! We all have different vocal goals, yet the teachings are universal. I love this course and I'm excited to keep working through it. There is so much value that each time you re-watch and re-read the provided content, you'll never stop learning. Thanks Robert. Thank you for being so passionate about your craft and providing us the knowledge from your 10,000 hours of training so that we may be well equipped for our own journey, too!
