Online singing lessons
Bring the voice you have—and the sound you’re trying to make.
You don’t need to know whether the problem is breath, mix, confidence, vowels, or some combination of all of them.
I work with beginning bedroom singers and karaoke warriors through professional recording artists. You bring a song, a question, a difficult note, or the part of your voice you don’t understand yet. We listen to what is actually happening and choose the right tool for your voice.
Lessons happen live through Zoom. Afterward, you practice with the recording so you can return to the exercises, ideas, and adjustments that worked.
What we can work on
The voice is one system.
Mix & Registration
Understand how weight, vowels, resonance, volume, and airflow interact in your mix.
Power Without Strain
Find intensity and presence without leaving your throat to pay for it later.
Tone & Resonance
Explore different colors without losing the character that makes the voice yours.
Confidence & Shyness
Work with fear, inhibition, perfectionism, and the experience of letting yourself be heard.
Songs & Performance
Make the technical work survive contact with music, emotion, microphones, nerves, and other people.
The Golden Ratio approach
Find the cause. Choose the tool.
More effort doesn’t always create more power. Greater control may require more freedom. The highest notes often ask us to release weight rather than push harder.
The voice is constantly negotiating opposing forces: power and release, compression and airflow, stability and flexibility, control and surrender. We change the ingredients one at a time, listen to what your voice responds to, and then put the change back into the song.
I don’t want you to know only that an exercise worked. I want you to understand why it worked, what changed, and how to find it again.
How Zoom lessons work
Here’s the plan.
01
You Sing
Bring a song, question, difficult note, or part of your voice that isn’t cooperating.
02
We Experiment
We change the ingredients one at a time and listen to what your voice responds to.
03
We Follow the Breadcrumbs
What changed? Why did it work? What did you feel? Can you find it again?
04
You Practice
Use the lesson recording to revisit what worked and make the coordination more reliable.
Your coach
Joe Marson
A vocal coach and working singer-songwriter who teaches from inside the work.
I’ve spent a pretty ridiculous amount of my life trying to understand why the voice does what it does. I’ve also known what it is to overthink it, fight with it, lose trust in it, and find my way back.
I’ve toured throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, released recordings with millions of streams, and had music placed in film and television. That experience matters because vocal problems look different when there’s a microphone in front of you and the song has to happen now.
Pricing and questions
Before we begin.
$100 per lesson · Four lessons for $350
Lessons take place over Zoom and include a recording for your practice. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies.
Do online vocal lessons actually work?
Yes. Good coaching depends on listening, diagnosis, demonstration, experimentation, and feedback. We can do all of that over Zoom and apply each adjustment directly to your songs.
Do I need to be an advanced singer?
No. I work with serious beginners, developing singers, and professional recording artists. You don’t need to know vocal terminology or be comfortable singing in front of me yet.
What styles do you teach?
My home base is contemporary music: rock, soul, blues, Americana, singer-songwriter, indie, pop, alternative, and country. I’m not primarily a classical voice teacher.
Can you help with mix voice?
Yes. Rather than treating mix as a magic placement, we examine registration, weight, vowels, resonance, volume, and airflow to understand what is happening in your voice.
Will technique change my natural sound?
The goal is to give you more choices without taking out the grit, breath, crack, vulnerability, or personality that makes the voice yours.
What if singing hurts or I keep losing my voice?
Persistent pain, voice loss, or other concerning symptoms should be evaluated by an appropriate medical voice professional. Coaching is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
Ready when you are
Let’s talk about your voice.
If you know what you want your voice to do but can’t make it happen consistently, that’s a useful place to start.
