Vocal coach & singing lessons · Cardiff, London & online

Despite having had less than 10 sessions with Benn over about 6 months I’ve seen a huge difference in my voice. I can confidently say he’s taught me how to use my voice the way it’s designed to be used and I’ve never heard such power/volume from myself with such ease. I will continue to have lessons with Benn and I’m excited to see how much progress I’m yet to make!

I came to Benn because I'd never learnt how to sing and I would quickly lose my voice when singing. I really appreciate that Benn takes a scientific, physiological approach. He talks about the muscles you're using (and the ones you shouldn't be using) and how they actually work, which is exactly what I was looking for. He's also welcoming and friendly, so my nerves disappeared quickly, and I enjoy the sessions! I can feel myself making progress towards singing without the strain and tension I had before.

I’ve had six lessons so far with Benn and the progress has been incredible. Benn’s teaching style is the perfect balance of expert technique and relaxed, friendly guidance. You can tell straight away that he’s trained at a high level and understands the voice inside and out. Benn breaks things down in a way that makes sense, and every session feels structured, purposeful, and tailored to exactly what my voice needs. What really stands out is the atmosphere Benn creates. It’s supportive, encouraging, and genuinely enjoyable, which makes it easy to push yourself without feeling pressured. The improvements I’ve seen in just six lessons have been huge, better control, better tone, and far more confidence. I’d recommend Benn to anyone who wants to develop their voice properly and sustainably.

Benn's been coaching me for a couple months now and I'm really pleased with the progress we've made. I've come from a background in hardcore punk/metal style vocals. Benn has been helping me to develop my clean vocal range and technique, as well as good general vocal practices. Highly recommend him for novices and experienced vocalists alike.

A very good coach. Benn explains how the voice works in a very clear and understandable way. I started as a complete beginner to singing and have seen improvements in a very short amount of time.

Benn is absolutely wicked! I've had just over a month of coaching with him and already my pitching, control and breathing is much better. He's great at explaining the science of the Larynx and vocal folds etc. So you've got great insight and better control on your voice. You can tell music is a passion of his and he wants to make sure he gets the best out of you with how informative he is. I've listened to everything he has taught and advised me and I will not listen to anyone else. Looking forward to the next steps at Melody Matters throughout my singing career

Benn really knows what he’s doing and teaches based on vocal anatomy rather than vague popular concepts. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to develop a long standing good vocal technique.

Benn's approach really worked for me, I had vocal coaching lessons as a beginner and it was great to have things deconstructed before starting to build them back up realising how the voice actually worked. Highly recommended!

Benn is an awesome coach and person. Only been going for the past month and am already making progress with my vocals. He relies heavy on technique and I can’t wait to further my progress and intwining his technique into my live singing. Great person and very encouraging, can’t recommend enough.

Benn has made a massive impact on my voice, he is incredibly knowledgeable and direct. There’s no ambiguity or confusion around the way he teaches and he really takes the guess work out of singing. My voice has improved so much in just a few months thanks to Benn, 10/10.

Benn is a brilliant coach, really really knowledgeable about technique and how the voice works. I’ve noticed a massive difference in my voice with him. Would highly recommend.

Benn has made me look at the process of singing completely differently, in a way that makes more sense to me than other singing techniques I have learned previously. I perform regularly and i am learning with Benn how to use my voice much more effectively, with less vocal fatigue. He has a really positive energy that he brings to every lesson and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together

Benn is absolutely fantastic and really knows his stuff. I've gone to him for now 5 weeks and my voice has improved so much.

Benn is a fantastic tutor with over 20 years experience. He does an incredible job explaining the true mechanics of training your vocals. It is very clear that he enjoys what he does. You will likely be offered an initial consultation to introduce himself, identify your needs and advise how he can help. I have only been having online sessions for a few weeks, but in putting my trust in benn, I already have noticed some improvements. He really knows how to bring out the best in people.

Ben is a fantastic vocal coach with an incredible depth of technical insight into how the voice works. His science backed approach really helps build strong, healthy technique from the ground up, and I’ve noticed real progress in a short space of time. He has a great way of explaining things clearly and practically, making even the trickier concepts feel manageable. On top of that, he’s always encouraging, supportive, and easy to work with, his friendly, engaging style makes every session something I genuinely look forward to.

I’ve not been with Benn long, a couple months, but I’ve gained a better understanding of how my voice works than I’ve ever had before. He’s passionate, energetic and highly knowledgeable. I really enjoy the sessions, and looking forward to seeing where it takes me :)

Benn is a fantastic teacher who knows how to get the best out of your voice! Every session is engaging and super helpful, I’ve learnt so much about how the voice works in only just a few sessions. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a vocal coach!

i was a complete beginner and a bit hesitant but working with Benn has been a great experience. My voice and confidence have improved already. He's easy to get on with and will make you feel comfortable, no pressure or judgement whilst you learn. Also his approach is very insightful on the voice itself

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Benn for the past few months and he is an outstanding vocal coach! His extreme professionalism and deep knowledge of vocal training are truly impressive, yet he maintains a laid back, easy going personality that makes every lesson enjoyable! Ben's ability to make learning fun has not only improved my technique but also given me newfound confidence in my voice. Highly recommend!

Benn is a true professional, his vocal coaching techniques have really improved my son's singing voice and boosted his confidence. Thanks to Benn Dylan loves performing and thoroughly enjoys every session. I would not hesitate to recommend Benn Willis to anyone looking to improve their vocal skills amateur or professional.

I’ve been working with Benn as a complete beginner with zero singing experience, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his teaching approach! From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident, providing clear guidance and breaking things down in a way that’s easy to understand. Benn is incredibly patient and encouraging, always celebrating small victories and helping me progress at my own pace. His passion for singing and dedication to helping his students shine through in every lesson. I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned in such a short time, and I feel more confident in my voice with each session. If you’re looking for a coach who is not only skilled but truly cares about your growth, Benn is the one! Thanks Dalu

In my search for a vocal coach, I wanted someone with a solid understanding of both the science and art of singing. Benn from Melody Matters has been a good fit. He offers insights into the mechanics of the voice, which have been helpful in these early stages of my singing journey. As a beginner, I appreciate his patience and the professional manner in which he conducts lessons. Benn’s approach is pragmatic. He's been consistent in pointing out areas of progress while giving constructive feedback. His realist perspective ensures that feedback remains grounded, which is helpful for someone just starting out. Choosing Melody Matters has set a good foundation for my singing journey. I’m grateful to Benn for his guidance so far and look forward to learning more.

I would highly recommend Benn as a vocal coach. He's extremely knowledgeable of his craft and teaches you the science behind being a singer as well as practical tools. He made me feel comfortable from the beginning and I've seen improvements and have a better understanding of technique even from the first few sessions. Thanks Benn

In just a few weeks Benn has helped me hugely with better understanding how my voice works and we’re well on the way towards realising some of the potential that was hiding away in there! Looking forward to the journey and would highly recommend Benn to others.

At 54, I decided to try something completely new and booked singing lessons. Apart from the occasional solo performance in the car, I’d never really sung before, but Benn made it surprisingly comfortable from the start. He has a way of helping you relax and really focus on how you're producing sound. It’s not what I expected at all. I’m learning to use my voice properly for the first time, and enjoying it. It pushed me out of my comfort zone but not nearly as much as I thought it might. It’s challenging in the best way, without ever feeling overwhelming. If you're thinking of giving it a go, do it! Benn makes the journey enjoyable, rewarding, and much less scary than you'd imagine.

Ben is a terrific coach and although I only had one session with him he gave me an insight into what it 'really' takes to sing properly!! However, as I really only wanted to 'see' if I could still sing, it was too intense for me. I wish him all the best and would recommend anybody who wants a really professional coach to choose him. (But be prepared to work!!)

Benn teaches from a purely anatomical and scientific approach, in other words he works with how your voice was biologically designed. It is not easy, not by a long shot, but it is the only way to go if you want to unlock the full potential of your voice. I live in the US and I look forward to my weekly lessons, Benn is a great teacher and has an uncanny ear for finding your vocal roadblocks and guiding you through them to where you'd like to be as a singer. I wouldn't bother with another coach, you'd just be reinforcing poor form.

I was super nervous and felt really embarrassed when I first met Ben, as a non singer and someone who suffers easily with feeling awkward being on show,he made me feel comfortable and at ease, his teaching is very direct and honest but he clearly knows his stuff and I feel much better about the lessons each time I go, for anyone who wants to build confidence I would highly recommend.

Benn is a fantastic coach, can’t recommend him highly enough!

I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to receive professional vocal training from Benn. We meet every week and I've got nothing but positive things to say about Benn's coaching style, deep understanding of his craft and his incredible ability to hear every single nuance of my voice when he's training me online in Pembrokeshire, from his home in Cardiff. He really doesn't miss a trick and he really does know his stuff! As lead singer of a 6 piece pop/rock covers band performing up to 35 songs at a gig is not uncommon so I reached out to Benn for help to undo a lifetime of bad habits which was causing me to have pregig performance anxiety. We've been working together since March 2024 and the difference its made already is huge, my confidence has increased which has eliminated my pregig nerves completely and even members of my band have noticed the improvement in my singing which makes me so happy, thank you Benn! I highly recommend Benn to anyone in a performing role who needs professional vocal training. If you are prepared to listen, practise, have an open mind and you have the ability, then you will see an improvement I have no doubt about that! People think singing is easy but only if you're doing it right, Benn knows how and he will teach you!

Started vocal sessions with Benn a few months ago to help strengthen and improve my singing with back to back gigs. And it’s fair to say in little time he’s helped me massively improve on my voice, with techniques on warm ups all the way to the end product! Great teacher and even better guy, 100% recommend to get your voice unlocked

Benn has been teaching me for a couple of months and he has already expanded my knowledge and understanding of how the voice works massively through careful explanations and easy to understand analogies. Additionally, my control over my voice has already greatly improved and I am already far more consistent with my ability than I was when I started.

WOW! Just wow! I've only done 4 classes with Benn so far and the difference those four hours have made to my voice and my understanding of it is already quite unbelievable! Expert knowledge backed by science combined with no nonsense approach and quite a bit of fun as a cherry on top... With amazing results after only a couple of classes I'm beyond excited to see where I can get in a couple of months working with Benn!

Ben is an excellent teacher. He has years of experience which becomes obvious the more your lessons progress. He demonstrates a great knowledge and understanding of how to remedy the many problems singers can develop with bad technique and he’s especially good at describing the many sensations and techniques to use for improvement. Highly recommended!

I've been having vocal coaching from Ben, Melody Matters, for around two months. Fantastic sessions, Ben's very knowledgeable, patient and I'm learning alot from his tuition. With Ben's down to earth approach, he made me feel at ease straight away, I look forward to my sessions each week. If you need vocal coaching, don't hesitate to contact Melody Matters!

I've been working with Benn for a couple of months now, and it's honestly been a great experience. Super knowledgeable, easy to work with, and really knows how to break things down in a way that makes sense. I highly recommend if you're looking for someone who knows their stuff!

I’ve only been having vocal coaching sessions for a couple months now and Benn has been super helpful with getting me to understand my voice. I’m already seeing changes in my technique and he creates a comfortable space, so i’m never made to feel silly trying new things.

Benn is really great. He gets to the point of what needs to be done to improve and has made a huge difference for me. Benn’s a big character and you quickly feel comfortable with him, definitely recommend!

I tried other vocal coaching before, and they'd often throw terms at me I just couldn't translate into meaningful action. From the first session, he was able to explain without nonsense exactly how to produce the sounds that we were looking for. He is great at guiding step by step through what turns out to be a very complicated vocal system. In just a few weeks, I already have significantly more control over my voice, I wish I had started sooner :D!!

Ben is a great coach. He is very enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does. He is very honest. His energy is infectious and he always keeps things entertaining.

The best voice coach ever. All sessions are well prepared and organised, variety of approaches and techniques are applied. Benn is always full of energy amd patience.

I’ve always sung. People told me I had a lovely voice but Ben’s vocal coaching, practise and patience have given me access to an amazing voice I hadn’t realised was mine.

Very good, I'm seeing a lot of noticable improvements

Brilliant. Not had any kind of vocal coaching/singing lessons before but I get the sense that what Benn does is totally different from the rest. It's as much a vocal anatomy lesson as anything and I'm relearning how to use my voice in a sustainable and healthy way.

Ben is a tremendous voice coach, having only been 4 times people in my band are already noticing a difference as with recording. He says it as it is which we all sometimes need
