In a Nutshell |
Very compre-hensive.
Extremely well structured.
Extremely useful, for all levels - beginner to true pro. See
results soon, and continue learning from it for years -
that's how good this product is.
The Rolls-Royce of "learn to sing" courses. Not cheap but
worth every penny. |
A truly great
audio program accompanied by
extremely effective books and
an excellent software package.
Easy, fun to use software enables you to make the most of
your practice sessions. Mini Recording Studio Software great
for children (=Fun!) and professionals (=Effective!) alike.
Email personal consultation line a great bonus, itself worth
the price of the product! |
A good
program. Effective for all levels - from novice singer to
advanved. Audios and book teach many aspects of singing.
A good course previously marked by a problematic Money Back Guarantee,
but it seems like they've now fixed this. |
Fun, and effective, but not
good enough for advanced and professional singers. Several
software bugs and glitches. May slow down computer to an
extent that it cannot follow your singing.
More of a toy than a serious teaching aid. |
A Blues
course - not a full singing course. Narrowly focused
- but so good at it!
A must for Blues singers (beginners to pros), un-needed by
those who don't sing the Blues. |

Our Review |

Our tests of leading singing courses laid out a very clear picture of the market:
Although we have tested several courses,
we listed here only the five top-rated products. This means
that all products listed above are good, and provide
effective results. In addition, none of them is a scam, and
you can safely buy and use any of them. However, most singers
normally buy only one or two courses, and
you certainly want to put your dollars only on the programs that
give you the best value. That is why we have to pick our winners:
The best "learn
singing at home" course here is Singing Success.
It costs more
than other programs, but you get more than you pay for and if you
want the best program available - this is the course for you.
However, if you cannot or don't want to spend $199 for a course,
Singorama
makes an excellent 2nd-best. Providing
almost as much for half
the price, we consider it
the best deal
in improvement-per-dollar terms.
Putting things into perspective: only Singing Success and
Singorama can guarantee an increase of a full octave in your vocal
range. This is how good they are.
Singing Success is the most comprehensive program. With over 300 audio files, a DVD and an e-book, it
will lead you on your way from beginner to pro, constantly
teaching you new insights, constantly improving your skills.
It is the most expensive top-rated program, but no other
program
reaches its depth and breadth. If
you take your singing seriously - order this premium
product. You can spread the cost to up to 7 installments,
and the 6 month money back guarantee makes sure that you
just cannot lose.
If
you can't or don't want to shell out $199
on Singing Success,
Singorama is almost as good, at half the
price.
Based on 28
comprehensive audio lessons, accompanied by e-books and
multiple software programs, Singorama is extremely flexible and fun
to use. The excellent
audio lessons and e-books provide
excellent tutoring, while the software's
flexibility enables endless different practice sessions. The
software is so well researched and
executed, that it too enables you to progress from beginner to
pro, and still keep practicing and recording with it.
Kids loved Singorama, and professionals respected it.
Probably the best measure of success
is that after countless hours practicing with all programs,
our testers constantly kept returning to
Singing Success and Singorama for further practice,
leaving the other programs behind.
Vocal Release
arrives at our 3rd place. Eric Frey is a
very effective vocal tutor, and this program shows. With
many audio files and a good manual, it too can accompany you on your way from
novice to advanced.
In addition, if you're willing to
spend Singing Success's price, consider purchasing both Singorama
and Vocal Release. Together they'll offer an amazing package
which is much more effective than Singing Success,
for the same price.
Singing Coach Unlimited
is another top
product. It is fun to use, and very
effective, and reminds us very much of Singorama. However, it's a
pity that the product has software glitches, and relies almost
entirely on the software, with a manual not comprehensive enough for
teaching. Singing Coach Unlimited is not nearly
as comprehensive as Singorama 2.0.
Despite its higher price, we determined Singorama as a much
better buy, and felt Singing Coach Unlimited
somehow fell far short of the other three programs.
Learn to Sing the Blues
is an excellent DVD for Blues singers. Very enjoyable and rich with
insights, learning from Gaye Adegbalola's experience can boost your
Blues singing skills up several levels. The DVD is not intended
for kids and does not teach singing in general - but for Blues singers
it is a must-have.
