About The Singing Voice

The Singing Voice is an educational website designed to answer  questions about singing and how the voice works. The educational journey of the singer is a long and arduous one and many questions will arise along the way. It is my hope that The Singing Voice will provide answers to some of these questions.

The Singing Voice will develop over time as I continue to update and expand the site with more information and useful activities. Also, a little further down the track, I hope to include a series of exercises for vocal development as well as comprehensive warm ups for vocal health and longevity.

Working with Men Wot Sing has indeed been a highlight of my life over the past years and one which continues to bring big smiles to loads of people - and not just the boys from Men Wot Sing!.

Stuff wot Simon does with singing!
