Singing Success is our number two rated product. It’s especially well-suited for those who have a strong desire to increase their singing range. It does not include quite the number of teaching tools as Singorama, but this training program offers proven methods that have definitely been shown to work in improving your vocal range and tone. Taught by Brett Manning, a friendly and entertaining singing coach often referred to as “the voice trainer to the stars,” Singing Success is very fun to listen to, keeping you motivated to practice.
It presents its material in a unique style, and teaches highly effective vocal techniques that will improve your voice and increase your range by a full octave. If you examine the examples on the official website, you’ll notice that the methods taught are quite different from most other types of singing instruction you may have seen before. If you have tried traditional vocal training in the past without much success, this may be the perfect program for you.
Brett Manning presents his material in a way that’s easy to understand, even for total beginners. While this course doesn’t include extras such as singing software, it doesn’t really need to–instead, it delivers its lessons in clear and helpful audio files, notes, and illustrations. The overall production quality of all material is exceptional, including the work book and the training DVD. The audio files are great to use as a reference and to do quick drills and exercises whenever you have a moment of free time. They are well organized and can be used in conjunction with the work book and DVD.
Brett Manning has amassed quite a bit of popularity as a singing coach, having worked with some big names, and he is obviously very passionate about what he teaches. He commands a great deal of respect in music circles, and has improved the singing voices and increased the vocal range of thousands of students. His unique approach to singing that focuses on proper technique over increased effort may be just the thing you are looking for as a singing student.
His techniques are actually a revolutionary extension and refinement of the teaching methods of Seth Rigg, a renowned vocal coach whose client list includes Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, and Michael Jackson. Brett takes Seth’s methods to a whole new level in terms of easily-approachable effectiveness. To put it simply, Brett stresses that “less is more” — the less you strain in the process of singing, the clearer and more accurate your singing will become, as well as becoming more resonant and pleasant to listen to.
Singing Success is entertaining as well as effective. No matter what style of singing you want to do, whether it’s classical, country, or rock, you will find everything you need to know in this package (Seth Rigg’s techniques were not quite as versatile). This training course has received high praise from professionals who have actually used it, including singers who have been nominated for and won Grammy and Dove awards, and cast members from running Broadway musicals!
Singing Success offers a tremendous guarantee. Using the instructions outlined in his course, if you don’t increase your range by a full octave, Brett Manning will give you your full money back. No other program even attempts to make such a bold claim. In fact, some singers who have used this course have reported a vocal range increase of 3 octaves or more. You can also return the course for any reason at all within a six full months, no questions asked, even if you “spill coffee on a page” or “your dog chews CD #4.” Needless to say, no other guarantee comes close to the one offered by Singing Success.
Singing Success is somewhat pricey and may be out of reach financially for some, which kept us from considering it for the top spot. But if you are serious about learning to sing and/or improving your range and want to try a revolutionary new approach, you would be hard pressed to find a better choice. Think of it this way–if you were motivated enough, you COULD get personal voice lessons from Brett Manning, which he offers at 200 dollars per hour. Or, you could get his whole curriculum for the price of just an hour of his time. And with 6 months to try it out his program, we say it’s a no-brainer.
