About Dr Dan's Voice Essentials
Welcome to Dr Dan's Voice Essentials where EVERYBODY sings!
The Story Behind Dr Dan's Voice Essentials
Voice Essentials is more than just a learning place. Voice Essentials is a community of like-minded people who believe that encouragement and support, alongside quality education, can lead to new outcomes of personal discovery; artistically and vocally.
Voice Essentials has been created to give you a voice! Some of us grow up, thinking that only a select few were born to sing. We beg to differ! Here at Voice Essentials, we believe it is the birth-right of every human being to sing. We also know that every voice can be further developed beyond its natural boundaries when the singer is led along a well-structured pathway of learning.
Voice Essentials started as a collection of exercises that Dr Dan had curated for his private singing students. In 2013, Dr Dan uploaded his first ‘learn to sing’ video about ‘Vocal Warmups’, and he named his YouTube Channel, ‘Dr Dan’s Voice Essentials’ after the namesake of the exercise collection.
Since that time, Dr Dan has uploaded well over five-hundred free ‘learn to sing’ videos and the Voice Essentials community continues to grow, both on YouTube and on Facebook. As the online groups have increased, it has become clear that while most singers desire to receive personalised singing lessons, not everyone can afford them. In seeking to respond to this need, Dr Dan has crafted this comprehensive learning environment that offers evidenced-based and academic-level tuition at affordable and accessible prices to adult learners.
We know that you and your voice will enjoy all the learning that Dr Dan has designed for you here at Voice Essentials. Your better voice awaits…Not Just Celebrity Voices!
We know that many online singing teachers support their products with celebrity endorsement. That’s cool! But chances are, you’re not a celebrity with a household name. You see, what might work as a quick-fix for the celebrity voice may not work as well for someone like yourself who is willing to commit to the rewarding challenge of an evidenced-based learning pathway. And while Dr Dan has successfully taught many so-called ‘famous’ singers (e.g. Aria Nominees, TV Talent Show Finalists & Eurovision Contestants), Dr Dan believes, “You don’t have to be a star for your voice to shine like the sun.”
Voice Essentials is a place where EVERYBODY sings…not just celebrity voices!
So, be sure to check out the five-star student reviews written by real people enjoying real results. We also take great pride in highlighting the professional singing teacher associations that Dr Dan is a current member of – The Queensland Music Teachers Association (QMTA), The Australian Voice Association (AVA), and the Australian National Association of Teachers of Singing (ANATS).
