What Our Students Say

Below are hearfelt reflections of our students expressing their memorable and meaningful experiences with the Voice Whisperer.

 
 

ALEX KING (TURNEd Professional/International singer in 2022)

I first went to see Romeo in 2019 to sing a Queen song at my high school talent show. I felt extremely unprepared and didn’t really know what I was doing in that song. Surprisingly, in only one lesson he was able to get us to win. The first thing he did was took interest into me and who I was as a person and a singer. Instead of asking me to just sit at the chair and follow him, he asked me what I wanted to do and learn, and we just did it which was a massive breath of fresh air. I’ve been with a few vocal coaches over the years but I’ve never looked back since.

I’d say the most important thing about him which makes him truly one in a million is that he opens your voice to many possibilities. Moreover, he’s also very good at amazing you with his ability to do something, and then have you do the exact same thing seconds later. In retrospect, I first went to see him fearing high belted notes. Now I’ve come out proud to say that I can hit them all with ease. I’ve been taking classes with Romeo for over 3 years now, and have never looked back.


JUSTIN TAY (Law Student)

“Coach Romeo is a very attentive and thorough teacher. He never overlooks the details, and is very familiar with the ins and outs of the human voice. Ultimately, he also values a personal connection with his students, gives them encouragement, and is always looking for new and creative ways to impart his teachings and to bring out the potential of his student.”


leo LEE (High School Student)

“In terms of vocal improvement, Romeo has so far managed to push my range up one semitone, and taught me to place my sound correctly which let me manage that range push. Also, my breathing is a lot more controlled and I don't have to struggle to hit typically hard notes anymore. He’s pretty friendly, and can manage to get students to understand what he’s taking about by demonstrating and describing well.”


GILES blundell (banker)

If your new to the idea of taking voice lessons it can be quite a daunting idea. However you will not find a more welcoming and supportive school than The Voice Whisperer. I feel very lucky to have found such a great school and teacher, Romeo.


shi xuan SUM (biotechnologist)

“Over the years under my coach's teachings and guidance, I have improved significantly both in speech and singing especially as a Deaf person. It has given me a lot of confidence in my voice and allowed me to stand prouder when conversing with others. He has been very kind and patient in understanding my needs and adapting his teaching style to accommodate them.”


KAvita KAUR (Computer technician & actress)

"It has been close to 5 years since I became a vocal student of Romeo. Today as I look back on all these years, I consider myself very blessed. Romeo ranks among the best teachers I have known in my life. His dedication to nurturing my voice, which he jokingly calls his 'baby' is unparalleled. He is constantly devising new scales and thinking up all sorts of ways he could bring out the best in my voice. I have picked up great voice care habits from him and with his guidance the quality of my voice has improved substantially. If life and circumstances permit, I will have him as my vocal instructor, mentor, teacher and as a friend forever. Thank you for loving my voice unconditionally even during the times when I don't love it myself."


Tammy LIM (MUSIC THERAPIST)

“My vocal teacher is dedicated and passionate. He has helped me find my voice and know how to embrace it through music. I know I am much more confident in using my voice now, and this is reassured when I have gotten many more positive feedback from others. He teaches with his creativity and many years of vocal experience, I am truly enjoying this signing journey with him!”


deborah ONG (corporate LAwyer)

"When I was in school, I was placed in the soprano section of the choir because the choir needed sopranos. I never really found my voice until I started taking vocal lessons in 2013 with Romeo. Vocal lessons have taught me that there is beauty in a deeper register and I have learned to embrace, even love, my voice. Singing gives me joy that I don’t find anywhere else and I’m grateful to my vocal coach for his invaluable teaching."


susan chong (museum tour guide)

“My vocal coach is great in training my vocals as I have improved a lot in my singing and technique especially my pitch and rhythm. Now I happy being able to vocalise correctly.”


kim yong (journalist)

“My range has widened, achieved a better vocal quality, able to sustain notes for a longer period, and so on. My singing teacher really wants his students to grow and enjoy singing.”


Tim STEELE (software engineer - facebook)

“Four years ago I walked into my very first trial singing lesson, with one desperate request: The covers band I was fronting had been booked for our first gig in two months time, and there was one small problem - I needed to learn to sing!

In our first session, Romeo quickly identified some key issues - my tendency to swallow the sound, for example - which were less flaws with my vocal apparatus, and more simple problems of confidence and approach. Taking on his adjustments, I saw immediate improvements in my vocal quality. We worked hard for those two months, and the show was a great success - mission accomplished! But really that was just the beginning of the story...

My coach made me believe - as he did - that I could aim higher than simply “good enough for the show”. He helped me understand my voice: its range, its power, and most important of all - its character. I had walked into his studio an unrefined covers band vocalist, aiming at little more than imitating the singers of the songs we performed - and over the next two years, under my coach’s tutelage, I grew into a singer.

For me, music is a passion-pursuit, and not my main profession - but singing is a huge part of my life now. It has come to represent a rich channel of self-expression that connects straight to the soul. More and more I feel the ability to exercise ever-greater control over my voice, and experience its beautiful sound and resonance - both in singing and speaking. Thank you, coach, for this journey and gift. Our sessions remain a highlight of my week.”


Bhuvana nathan (researcher - national university singapore)

“This ongoing journey as a vocal student has been met with many challenges. However each one has been crucial, teaching me to hone my voice with various techniques for breathing, building a strong mixed voice and dynamics. My coach has been in the centre of this progress throughout the years, with his kindness, patience and most importantly, confidence in my abilities (even during times when I did not have any at all).”


NICK tay (financial adviser)

“I started taking lessons because I wanted to learn to sing better. Before, after just an hour of singing, my voice got strained and i'd wake up the next day coughing. After spending a few weeks with my coach, I found I could sing better, clearer, and higher without straining my voice. Having my vocals coach is like tapping into a source of boundless enthusiasm, limitless knowledge, and no inhibitions. I've been with him for years now and the only regret I have is why I didn't work with him sooner!”


Yolanda Lee (company worker)

“I thank my singing coach for being patient and always finding a new way/method to teach and focus on my weaknesses and get them corrected. Thru teaching me, I am able to sing better and most importantly, sing songs with the right method.


Steven Chan (entrepreneur)

This is the go to place if you wish to expand your talents beyond just Karaoke. I taken only 6 months of lessons and Romeo showed me certain hidden abilities I didn't know was in me.

Thank you Romeo!


annabel isaac (accountant)

“I have been a vocal student for over 5 years, yet just when I think I have mastered it all, my coach never fails to challenge me further and spur me on to be all that I can be and much more!

His lessons are the perfect balance of professional yet very personalized teaching methods. He is very attuned to my development and progress as a vocal student and puts in great effort to prepare lesson plans every week in order to hone and develop my singing abilities. He is also very open and enthusiastic in encouraging a student’s creativity with singing styles and approaches.

My coach is very patient, accommodating, and highly professional yet personable. Lessons with him has definitely reestablished my technical foundations and made me keenly aware of all the little annoying vocal habits one picks up along way. I thank him, I am now a lot more confident of my vocal abilities and stage performances.

I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a comfortable environment to learn and hone their vocal abilities. His friendliness and charm will put you to ease right away and you will definitely leave his lessons feeling fulfilled, challenged and humming a tune.”


ALEX Lee (accountant & hotel manager)

“I started taking singing lesson from the Voice Whisperer thinking that I would try it out for a few months to learn some basic techniques of singing.

Before I knew it, I have now been with the same coach for a number of years. He is very professional, patient , enthusiastic, meticulous, and very encouraging.

I am now much more confident about my singing ability and have continued to enjoy singing even more.”
