Pete McDowell Vocal Coaching

Unlock your true voice and transform your vocal skills with Personalised Vocal Coaching.

With over 10 years experience of coaching and mentoring aspiring vocal students both privately and within performing arts faculties, My coaching philosophy combines the disciplines of essential daily technical practice and constant personal development.

Derived from the critical study of world class performers and vocal coaches, I have refined my vocal coaching practice through years of practical teaching and performing experience. As an alternative to traditional linear methods of vocal coaching, I get straight to the point in assisting the student in conquering the most common and relevant challenges in contemporary vocal technique.

On the completion of an initial assessment and evaluation of the students personal goals, a specific tailored individual program is devised to ensure the desired results are achieved. This is achieved by directing the students to focus, intensely practice and understand the key areas of vocal technique, while nurturing the adoption of a winning mindset and lifestyle embodiment of a highly skilled performer.

The voice of experience

Through the embodiment of constant study, discipline and resilience, I have inspired countless students in achieving remarkable results, from absolute beginners to international recording and performing artists.
As your vocal coach and mentor, as well as directing you with the specific practice methods to achieve your desired goals, I share every crucial detail of my technical experience, both on and of the stage including my triumphs of success, and the challenges that I continue to rise above during a 25 year vocal journey.

Who is it for?

There are various adaptations of my coaching program that cater for singers of all abilities. This includes beginners and intermediate singers seeking a solid foundation, all the way through to advanced musicians requiring constant guidance, support, mentorship and accountability.
Whether you're an aspiring young professional looking to refine your skills, or an experienced instrumentalist eager to unlock the power of your voice, my purpose is to guide you in fulfilling your vocal potential and exceeding your targets.

Go beyond the notes

My goal is to unlock your true untapped potential to a level where you understand through feeling that every nuanced expression is the very essence of your own unique voice. There's a level where the notes become mere tools for expression, however mastering the key components is essential so that they're second nature in the heat of a passionate performance.
Therefore, I invite you embark on a journey of technical mastery, and personal development guaranteed to open your mind to a whole new dimension of emotional connection and unleash the true unique voice within you.


Learn how to:
- Master breath control, expand your range, and project with confidence.
- Transition smoothly between vocal registers and build a stronger vocal tone.
- Explore the theory and science behind how the voice works.
- Master your chest, mix, and head voice, and blend them seamlessly.
- Develop skills in vibrato, riffs, runs, improvisation, and ear training techniques.
- Add style, edge and distortion to your voice without strain or injury.
- Develop strong vocal compression in areas of weakness throughout your range.
- Learn how to practice methodically and deliver with absolute confidence.
- Discover, develop, and nurture the essence of your unique sound.
- Understand the psychology of emotional connection beyond the notes.

What to expect:
- Train in with an actively performing vocalist with over 25 years of experience.
- Enjoy a fun and relaxed, non-pressured learning environment.
- No one-size-fits-all approach—focus on your own goals, not exams.
- Gain vocal health, discipline, and stamina alongside personal development.
- Develop a winning mindset for unparalleled growth and exceptional performance.
