'To be the singing teacher I wish I had'
Let me say now, not all singing teachers are the same! The Michael Clifton Vocal Studio in Gloucester City Centre, has constantly striven to give every student the necessary tools to give them an advantage in an ever competitive market in a caring, motivational and inspiring capacity.
Lessons can be booked in person or online any where in the world. Having worked with all ages of singers for years, Michael is an key expert with younger children, helping them find their voice in a friendly and fun way. It becomes more serious as the ambition grows. Students are encouraged to take singing exams, but this is optional.
Not one student, in the thousands I have taught, is the same. The training is structured to your needs. Your lesson will be tailored to unlock and release your true potential. There are so many ways to release the voice that we, together, will design technical and physiological exercises that work for you. This is what coaching is and
Not one student, in the thousands I have taught, is the same. The training is structured to your needs. Your lesson will be tailored to unlock and release your true potential. There are so many ways to release the voice that we, together, will design technical and physiological exercises that work for you. This is what coaching is and where coaching may have let you down in the past?
From experience, Michael uses many different methods, to empower not only your voice and body but also your inner confidence. Not only will you get a great singing voice, your performance and communication skills will hit new heights and we will work together to maximise your talent.
'The greatest pleasure is when you start hearing the voice you never thought you could create and it's coming from you and it feels effortless and other people can hear its different!!'
This is the true result we are after.
This is when we start to get excited about the future. If, like me, you've have had singing lessons before

This is the true result we are after.
This is when we start to get excited about the future. If, like me, you've have had singing lessons before you may have become frustrated, hopeless or despondent? I know this feeling! Through the right coaching, mentoring, your life can literally transform.
Now why wouldn't you want that?
The success rate from the studio is literally worth millions of dollars/pounds. Students have gone on to star in the West End, Netflix series, Feature Films and much more

Audition Preparation is a large part of the
work that we do in the studio. Successful auditions are about combining your strengths with the right song choices. The big colleges have specific requirements. You need to have repertoire that shows your range and competence as a performer. Having sat on audition panels, Michael will take you throught the whole process. This is also important if you plan on auditioning for BGT or The Voice.
It's about finding what makes you unique and taking advantage of that!
Michael, not only have you been a fantastic vocal coach, providing me with the tools I shall never forget, but I feel you have also been a sort of mentor as well as teacher.

Michael, not only have you been a fantastic vocal coach, providing me with the tools I shall never forget, but I feel you have also been a sort of mentor as well as teacher. You have given me valuable tips and knowledge about the business and helped me through the difficult times with regard to auditions and I will ever be thankful for that. I hope in time I will be able to thank you for that..

I started working with Mike when I was working on my bands second album. As a heavy metal singer, it's very hard to find a singing teacher who knows about the genre and can help unlock those money notes! Mike was perfect. He really helped open up my range to get more out of my voice. The techniques he taught me, I still use today.

He's made it so much easier for me to maintain my voice during touring and I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

I always come away from my sessions feeling confident and with something new to practise! I am currently performing in Royal Caribbean’s ‘Grease’ as Cha-Cha and 1st cover Rizzo, and I must give thanks to Michael for supporting me through the audition process and helping me to achieve my dreams!
Michael is the go to coach if you want to get results. He has been part of my journey since I began singing. But not only has he built my singing voice, he is also a great acting coach. Only now, do I realise how important that was as I have naturally moved into the global television industry as a professional actress.

Only now, do I realise how important that was as I have naturally moved into the global television industry as a professional actress.
I will forever be grateful for his constant belief and motivation. Not only is he the best vocal coach in Gloucestershire but also the best mentor too.

Thank you for all the time, hard work
and effort you have put into my voice
and performance skills over the years.
I'm sure the opportunities I have had would have never happened if I hadn't been trained by you. Your dedication to getting the most from me and your constant support,
gives me the confidence to go for it and
I'll always remember to 'put my hand up!'

Without Michael, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to turn my ambitions into reality! If you’ve ever felt that you want to sing and you don’t know where to start, then please allow me to point you in the direction of Michael Clifton Vocal Studio!
