Vocal Coaching for Professionals – By a Professional
I’m Nick Tann – a full-time musician, accomplished singer-songwriter, and vocal coach with over a decade of experience working with singers at all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned performers.
Based in Eastleigh, Hampshire, I offer bespoke one-to-one vocal coaching designed specifically for professional entertainers, session singers, and performers looking to refine their technique, improve vocal stamina, and develop a reliable, stage-ready voice.
Raised in a highly musical household – harmonising with my mum and singing Nat King Cole with my dad – music has always been part of who I am. I’ve since gone on to lead respected vocal ensembles including The Steam Town Shanty Crew, The Secret Eastleigh Choir, The Romsey Shanty Crew, and my own original funk band Nick Tann & The Whole Family. This live and studio experience directly shapes the practical, performance-oriented approach I bring to every coaching session.
Tune In. Sing Out.
Learning to sing in tune is just the beginning. Once we’ve established pitch accuracy and vocal control, the real transformation begins – building the confidence to perform in front of others. For many, this can be a daunting prospect, but it’s also where the process becomes genuinely rewarding.
Using a range of proven, personalised confidence-building techniques, I guide students to perform at a level that feels authentic and achievable. Some have gone on to sing with choirs or vocal groups; others have performed at family gatherings for the very first time – often astonishing their friends and relatives. Regardless of where you’re starting from, you can do this – no matter how unsure you may feel about your voice.
A Proven, Supportive Approach
Before becoming a full-time musician and vocal coach, I spent nearly a decade as a swimming teacher in both the UK and Australia. The teaching philosophy I developed there – helping people overcome fear, build trust, and develop skill through progressive, confidence-led techniques – now underpins my work as a vocal coach. Whether it’s finding comfort in water or confidence in voice, the process is the same: one step at a time, with expert guidance.
“Hi Nick. I just wanted to say a big thank you. I am still slightly in a daze! I can’t quite believe that I’ve finally started to learn to sing! If anyone had told me that this morning when I got up i would not have believed them! But you are exactly the person I need to give me the confidence to do this! So thank you again very much. Best wishes Sarah”
Over the last decade, I’ve helped hundreds of students – including working performers – unlock their vocal potential and overcome long-standing mental blocks. My methods are supportive but results-focused, and the outcomes speak for themselves: stronger voices, greater confidence, and real-world performance ability.
