Bristol vocal coach
Feel like your voice is lost, nervous or stuck?
Maybe you were told you can't sing. Maybe you tried and gave up, freeze at the thought of singing in front of anyone, or feel your voice has gone missing. Wanting to sing, or to speak with confidence, and not knowing where to begin is far more common than you'd think, and letting your voice be heard can feel very vulnerable.
BexX is an Authorised CVT (Complete Vocal Technique) singing teacher and speech voice coach in Bristol with 21 years' experience. Instead of chasing a certain pitch or copying someone else, you analyse, de-code and design your own sound, using professional technique that works immediately and builds a healthy foundation for any style, including belting and rough effects like distortion.
- Technique tailored to your voice and the sound you want
- A warm, safe and encouraging space, with no judgement
- A good mix of theory and practice, and plenty of fun
- For complete beginners through to working professionals
Work 1:1, join a small group session, or commit to ongoing mentorship if you want to go deeper into vocals, songwriting, the music industry and artist development.
What we work on
Voice coaching that actually fits you
Whether you've never sung in front of anyone or you're gigging every week, every session is built around your voice, your sound and your goals.
Artist Development
Mentorship for artists ready to go deeper. From mindset and visibility (social media and IRL) to creative identity and brand development, without selling your soul.
Recording Studio
A space for meaningful creation, not just recording. Vocal production, experimental sessions, photography and video support tailored to real artists doing real work.

Analyse & decode
We hear what your voice does naturally, then design the sound you want using professional CVT technique.
Sing, record, grow
Technique that works immediately, plus practice you can trust, for any style including rough effects.
Group sessions
Sing with others in Stokes Croft
Small, supportive groups where you learn as much from each other as from the coaching. No experience needed.
Discover & Design Your Authentic Voice
An immersive workshop for singers, vocalists and curious creatives who want to connect fully with their voice. We work on breath, resonance, control and projection, with exercises in interpretation, phrasing and emotional delivery. It is not about imitating others or hitting the “right” notes.
Build stability, confidence and control even when nerves show up, explore dynamics, tone and range, and practise improvisation and spontaneous expression. You will leave feeling more confident on the mic and on stage, and ready for Be Experimental sessions, performances or jams. Every Thursday 7–9pm, ages 13+. From £15.
Be Experimental
A vocal improvisation interactive concert with a trip-hop, electro and ambient cinematic soundtrack. BexX samples your voice live on loop stations and mixes it with analogue and modular synths, samplers and effects, so your voice shapes the sound in real time.
Play with your voice: no “right” notes and no experience needed. Sessions are recorded, so you can take your ideas home to write songs or develop them into full tracks. Fortnightly Fridays 7–9pm, ages 12+. From £10.
“Singing needn't be only for those who were born with a voice.”

What students say
Press play to hear it from the singers themselves.
★★★★★BexX is a fantastic vocal coach who personalises his teachings to your voice. His focus is on the type of sound that you want rather than trying to hit a certain pitch. After around 6-8 months of strengthening the basics, I was able to start singing songs in the style of any artist I wanted.
★★★★★Last time we had a lesson I was practising for an audition and after Ben's lesson I got the part! There's a good mix of theory and practice, and at the end of the session I can sing the most difficult parts of the song I struggled with before.
★★★★★Bexx holds a really great space for a terrified beginner! I left feeling confident, excited to come back.
★★★★★Safe and creative environment for learning to sing. I look forward to this class every week!
★★★★★This is a great opportunity for people at every level and stage of singing, from complete beginners to more confident singers, to get high quality advice and support from an extremely knowledgeable, supportive and fun teacher. Highly recommend.
★★★★★I have always enjoyed singing despite being told countless times that I couldn't sing. Then I found BexX. Their techniques, sympathetic response and seemingly endless patience found vocal talents in me that I never knew I had. I would go every other day if I could!
★★★★★Ben is amazing, so supportive and encouraging. I haven't sung in a long time and I came away super-motivated and inspired to master a few new songs.
★★★★★Excellent workshop! Fun, safe learning environment. Really strong technical knowledge. Highly recommended.
★★★★★After only a few months I already have more confidence in myself whilst singing and feel that I've made significant progress. BexX is a great teacher, and a very patient one too!
★★★★★I had a great time and learned a lot about my voice and its potential. Everyone was lovely and so supportive and BexX is so knowledgeable about vocal techniques and improvisation. During the session I sang one of my own compositions and it was the best I'd performed it!
★★★★★It was my first time singing in public and I really enjoyed it. Everyone created a safe space and I learnt so much about my voice and singing in general!
★★★★★Bexx created a really comfortable and welcoming space and I felt like I made progress in my goals in a very short space of time. Thank you!
