Our take

Based on the ratings of 3,911 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.

Roma Waterman's course teaches the basics of how the voice works and how to warm it up properly. It runs 2.4 hours over 52 lectures, split into ten sections. The core is three pillars, posture, breathing and resonance, with a physiology section before them and a set of projection exercises after. The package also includes a 25 minute warm up MP3, sheet music for the scales, five quizzes and an ebook. It is pitched at every level, but it suits people who want healthy daily habits more than songs to learn.

Reviewers praise the teaching. They call her warm, clear and encouraging, and one singles out the slides with diagrams for making the anatomy easy to follow. One student who did the warm-up for about five months says their throat stopped hurting and their sound cleared up. Another, with past acting and voice classes, found it a useful refresher that turned into a routine. The main complaint is the lack of feedback: one reviewer says that without anyone listening, it is hard to tell if the warm-ups are being done right.

The rating is strong. Of 3,911 ratings, 2,390 are five stars and fewer than 100 are one or two stars. More than 32,000 students have enrolled. The course was last updated in January 2024, so it is nearly three years old, but anatomy and warm-ups do not date quickly. At 2.4 hours it is a starting point, not a full training program, and people wanting more depth will need to look further. For a beginner or a returning singer who wants a daily warm-up, it is an easy yes.

Best forSingers at any level who want a daily warm-up routine and a clear picture of how the voice works.
Skip it ifYou want ongoing teacher feedback on your singing, or a full program on songs and style.

Pros

  • Slides with diagrams make the vocal anatomy easy to follow, reviewers say
  • Includes a 25 minute warm-up MP3 and sheet music for the scales
  • Posture, breathing and resonance each get their own focused section
  • Reviewers describe Roma as warm, clear and encouraging

Cons

  • No live feedback: one reviewer can't tell if the warm-ups are being done right
  • Only 2.4 hours, and several sections run under 15 minutes
  • Last updated January 2024, with the original material from 2015
I've always had a natural ability to sing but with this course my throat doesn't hurt any more and my sound has cleared up tremendously.
Paul Shehadi, a student

Billed for all levels, but best for beginners and returning singers; it suggests daily practice and a mirror.

Who it is for

The instructor says it suits

  • This course is for those who want to sing well long term and often!
  • It is also for those who truly want to understand how their voice and body works to create healthy singing habits;
  • It is not for those who do not want to apply themselves - It will require determination and hard work!
  • It is for both the beginner and advanced singer.

What you need before you start

  • You will be required to perform certain exercises throughout the course;
  • It would be good if you could practice these in front of a full length mirror (or even a face mirror at best);
  • Have a glass of water handy to keep well hydrated.

By Paul Shehadi on 9/18/2024

Really an awesome course. I've been doing the warm up and other exercises for about 5 months now. My mother turned her head to look back at me when I was singing for her as she was sitting in her recliner. I was singing Adele's "Someone like you" and when I got to the loud part she looked back as if to say is that really you? I've always had a natural ability to sing but with this course my throat doesn't hurt any more and my sound has cleared up tremendously. My voice is also getting to be very powerful to the point where I might not even need a microphone. I'm very satisfied.

By Onyinye Agwunobi on 12/21/2021

I enjoyed every lesson in this course, informational and fun vocal warmups. However, i would like a session where i can get Roma to work with me one on one so she can hear my voice because i think the videos are good but doing it alone without her listening in on what am doing/repeating after her, makes it difficult to tell if am even doing the vocal warms correctly...that's my only concern at the moment. But i really like her style of teaching and how knowledgeable & encouraging she is.

By Mary DeYon on 11/15/2020

so far, so good

By Terry Mendonsa on 10/18/2020

Very well laid out with helpful tools and info! Thank you very much! My only complaint is during the cd warm ups , it was very hard for me to follow on my own once the example was given. I just think it would’ve been more helpful to do the whole exercise as the student gets familiar with it if that makes sense

By Abbie Udemy on 10/12/2020

I'm just sad it's about to end! Can't have enough of Roma. Such a great personality and attitude. The course is very informative and fun to watch. Especially all the exercises we get to do alongside the instructor. I really hope I get to enroll in more of her singing courses!

By Nettie on 10/3/2020

so far so good, explanations are clear and understandable, hope it continues this way!

By Ranald Kok on 9/14/2020

It's only the beginning. Have lots to learn.

By Marco Antonio Fernandes Ferreira on 9/10/2020

This course is great, it'll help you to understand the voice physiology, posture and resonance. But it's very basic, should have more content for this course.

By Frances Porter on 9/3/2020

Practical and engaging. Roma has a friendly and encouraging training style

By Craig Hordlow on 8/27/2020
