A NEW COMMUNITY FOR SINGERS
Hi, singers. You're in the right place.
A community for people passionate about singing.
Like-minded people who love singing as much as you do
Singing brings people together. It always has, and it's better when you're not doing it alone. This is a space full of people working the same things out.
From singers just starting on their journey to singers who have been at it for years, everyone is welcome.
Nobody is judging, and there is no such thing as a question that is too basic.
Built for singers who want to understand their voice
A community for singers, with the conversations, coaching and connection that are hard to find on your own.
FREE
Open discussions
Singing, technique and performance, discussed openly with singers at every stage.
MEMBERS ONLY
Monthly masterclass
Watch an IVA Educator coach a real singer, live, and see how other singers approach their voice during lessons.
MEMBERS ONLY
The hot seat draw

So, what's in it for you?
The community meets you right where you are on your singing journey; use it to grow, connect, learn, or all of the above.
Get help

Keep learning

Conversations about the voice with people who never tire of talking about the subject.
Is this for you?
The community works best when everyone knows what it is for. Here is how to tell if it is right for you.
A good fit if
- You love singing, whatever your experience or style
- You are curious about how the voice works
- You want to talk singing with people who love it as much as you do
- You would like to hear from IVA Educators as well as other singers
Probably not a fit if
- You are looking to promote your music or grow your channel
- You want a structured course with lessons to work through
- You want to debate politics or religion
- You are looking for regular one-to-one lessons
Looking for one-to-one help? Find an IVA teacher.

What singers say about training with IVA.
Just take a look at a few of the folks who've joined us for previous events.
"I came away from boot camp with some of the best 'a-ha' moments I've ever experienced. The classes helped me see my voice in a more positive light than I have ever had before."
Valerie
IVA Singer Bootcamp 2026, USA
"This bootcamp was amazing! I am new to the world of musical theatre, and they did a great job teaching me at my skill level. They gave me support and encouragement to keep going, which I really appreciated!"
Shawna
IVA Singer Bootcamp 2026, USA
"The bootcamp was a testimony to the high quality of IVA-certified instructors. They were so good at providing actionable, individual feedback to each of the attendees."

You may still be wondering...
Yes, and you won't be the only one. Plenty of members are a few months into taking singing seriously. There's no such thing as a question that's too basic, and the basic ones are usually the ones everyone else was quietly wondering about too.
No. Some members have a teacher, some are working things out on their own, and some are deciding whether to start. All welcome.
Read for as long as you like. Nobody is counted or chased. When you're ready, introducing yourself is the easiest first step.
Short clips are welcome when you have a specific question about what your voice is doing. What we don't want is sharing links to your latest release to try and drive plays. That won't be allowed.
Members put their names forward each month, and about a week before the session we draw them at random on a name wheel. We record it and post it, so you can see it happen. If your name comes out you'll have plenty of notice to prepare.
No. Teachers are members here like anyone else, and the no promotion rule applies to them exactly as it does to everyone. If someone messages you with an offer, tell us and we'll deal with it.
The free community gives you the open discussions, the monthly challenges and highlights from each masterclass. Membership adds the masterclass itself, live, plus your name in the hot seat draw, the monthly Q&A, the replay library, and discounts on our courses and events.
Yes, any time, from your account settings.
On monthly, you keep access to the end of the month you have paid for.
On annual, you have 14 days to change your mind for a full refund, and after that you can cancel to stop the renewal.
Either way you stay in the free community afterwards.
You’re in the right place.
Hi, I'm Tom, co-founder of Vocal Advancement. Like a lot of you, I started out as a singer, and I know how strange it can be to care this much about something you mostly do on your own.
When I began, I was sorting through conflicting advice and hoping I was practicing the right things. Search "how to sing better" now and you get a billion results, most of them selling something that doesn't help.
So we built somewhere different. Not a course, not a funnel, just a room full of people who love singing and want to understand it better, with our experienced IVA Educators in there too to help.
Come and be part of it.
Cancel any time
You can cancel your membership at any time from your account settings. No email, no conversation, no notice period.
Monthly membership
Cancel whenever you like. You keep access until the end of the month you have paid for, and we do not refund the current month.
Annual membership
You have 14 days from purchase to change your mind, and we will refund you in full. After that, you can cancel any time to stop the renewal, but we do not refund the remainder of the year.
Either way
Canceling your membership does not remove you from the community. You stay in the free spaces for as long as you want to be here.
Founding rate
If you cancel and rejoin later, the founding rate no longer applies. It is locked for as long as your membership continues, not permanently attached to your account.
