So you want to sing. Come on, let's face it, just about everybody wants to be the next big star with the voice of an angel. However, as they quickly realize, singing isn't as easy as it seems. In actuality, it's an art filled with strategies, style, and of course - practice. But don't plan your first tour yet, you have to start somewhere right? That's where Voice Tutor comes in. 

What It Has: Voice Tutor, even when compared to a full-fledged online or even personal course, has a lot of positive things going for it. The first launch of the application starts off with an awesome Diagnostic Exam of sorts for your voice. After quick introduction is played, you're provided with an exercise right off the bat. Once you're finished, the app helps you to diagnose your vocal issue (such as cracking, breathiness, etc.), and from there starts you off with a customized vocal course. The 'lessons' are well explained, so the user always knows what's going on and is never confused by fancy terminology (the first start of the app, with a full explanation of terms you might not know, will definitely help out as well).

Honestly, by the end of using the exercises regularly, practicing, and learning with the app, after a few days my singing improved. I'm not being paid to say this nor is this some kind of a scam; I did what the app told me to do, and my singing ability improved. Period. The app works, and works well. 




What It's Missing: Don't get me wrong, this app is very well done, but like anything else, it's not perfect. I'm a classically trained musician, and I've been studying music for the greater majority of my life, and I've had somewhat of an introduction to singing beforehand, so I had no problem analyzing my vocal problems. However, a newcomer to music might have a little bit of trouble choosing what exactly their problem is, so an analyzing feature, while not necessary, would be wonderful. And seriously, that's the only flaw I could find with the entire application. Of course, I could nit-pick and find trivial errors all day, but the overall app is solid.

All In All: If you're a singing newcomer, a high school student in a chorus, or even a trained singer, this app has the potential to help you:

  • For a newbie: This app lays down everything you need to know, and a lot more.
  • For a professional: While this app may not teach you anything that you wouldn't already know, it's a great trip back to basics, and as you know, the fundamentals are everything.
