Master Class Testimonial

Mark Janicello's Master Class at UNC-G (University of North Carolina-Greensboro) changed my life!! Until I met him, I was languishing in my apartment with a day job, getting my Masters, and wondering when I was going to be 'discovered!' Mark opened my eyes to the fact that I had the power to make it happen - and that it wasn't going to happen any other way.

It's the one piece of information that's not part of the usual university curriculum. Once you have your diploma, after all those hours of practicing - then what???

JD King - Jim Devereux

A true and passionate expert of his craft

“Mark has incredible knowledge, experience and passion for singing, plus an exceptional voice himself. His lessons are highly focused, with every technical detail scrutinised to keep the fundamentals right. He doesn't expect perfection - it's a safe space to experiment - but he genuinely challenges you to step outside your comfort zone. After just a few lessons, I'm already discovering vocal capabilities I didn't know I had.”

Originally published on Trustpilot

“Mark has an excellent voice and sings to operatic standard, so you instantly feel you're learning from someone who knows their craft. He begins with teaching breathing techniques, and before long, with some exercises you'll discover what your real voice is capable of. Don't be concerned if your experience voice cracks and make strange noises - that's part of learning. You'll be amazed by the power and sound you can produce that you didn't realise was in you.”

An Exceptional Teacher Who Goes Beyond Technique

“When I first started, I thought singing lessons would simply be about learning vocal techniques. With Mark, I've found it's much more than that. It's a journey of self-discovery, breaking down fears, inhibitions, and self-imposed limitations to uncover a voice you never thought possible. While I'm still learning and finding my own voice, Mark has shown me that singing is not only about developing technique - it's also about developing confidence, self-expression, and a deeper understanding of yourself. The journey is as rewarding as the destination, and I'm grateful to have Mark as my guide along the way.”
