Tiffany Alvord
YouTube Superstar With More Than 1.8 Million Subscribers
“Hey guys, I’m Tiffany Alvord (1,800,000+ YouTube subscribers and 350,000,000 + channel views https://www.youtube.com/user/tiffanyalvord). When I first came to Thomas I could barely sing a B above middle C in full voice. I always felt like I was straining, that I didn’t have power, that I’d never be a strong singer and never be able to belt (code for singing high notes in full voice). But then I found Thomas – it’s kind of a funny story. My mom was actually watching one of my videos and there was an ad on the side that said “Wanna sing a HIGH C?” So she said, “Oh, we might as well give it a try.”
I’d been to a couple of voice coaches before but no one taught me the right way to sing. Then I met Thomas and at the first lesson he had me singing higher than I’d ever sung before. He’s kind of like a magician. Now I can easily sing a HIGH C and even higher than that so I’m really excited because now I know that it really is all about technique. You can’t limit yourself by saying you can’t sing because you can if you want to.
I highly recommend Thomas Appell’s voice coaching because he knows what he’s talking about. And what’s really cool about his vocal training is that he also does via Skype. So you can do it anywhere – all the way around the world. So if I’m traveling I could Skype him and we could still have our vocal lesson.
Thomas Appell actually has a book and he has in the book everything you need to know about your voice. And what’s really cool is that once you learn what’s going on inside of you when you’re singing, you can learn what you need to do in order to sing high – in order to belt a HIGH C. All of that is in his book, Can You Sing a HIGH C Without Straining? Now I can proudly say I can – and it’s all because of Thomas. Bye!”
Ben Zarai
Emmy Award Winning Composer and Music Producer
“I’ve been a musician all of my life and one of the things that I’ve always wanted to do is to be able to sing very well but I always felt very limited because my normal speaking voice is a baritone and I could never seem to be able to hit a note higher than about E above middle C and have it sound halfway decent. A little bit about my background – I’ve been a musician but my profession is post production audio. I’ve done a lot of work over the years with different people. One of my biggest clients was James Cameron and I was fortunate enough to win an Emmy award for sound editing on a project I did with him. I started one week ago (training) with Thomas. That very first day I hit in full voice a high E thanks to the techniques that Thomas showed me and it was not hard. I actually was able to do it very easily and realize that this is an octave above the E that I previously had to really strain to hit. Now it’s been one week. I’m back and today I hit a high Ab (above tenor high C) and it sounds probably better than the E (above tenor High C) that I hit the week before. I’m very excited about the possibilities this is opening up for me. I’m going to be able to sing things I never thought I would ever be able to sing much sooner than I ever thought I’d be able to do it and it’s all thanks to Thomas’ instruction, following his advice and practicing the lessons that he’s given me.”

Jake Rush
USC Musical Theatre Major
“Hi my name’s Jake Rush and I came to see Thomas because I’m going to be a theatre major at USC in two months. I had a short amount of time to get my voice ready for being in plays/musicals there. I found Thomas on his website online. I figured supervised (daily) training would be the best way to go because I had such a short amount of time to train my voice.
At first I thought it was too good to be true – the reviews I saw on the internet but it’s absolutely that – it’s incredible. When I first came in I could barely sing an F above middle C (F4). Now I’m singing comfortably up to an F above tenor high C (F5 in full voice – not falsetto) – a full octave of improvement. I’ve improved every aspect of my singing. I would very much recommend this (training with Thomas) to anyone that’s considering it.”
