I am the honest vocal coach! I have been teaching for 15 years and been singing since I was 16. I teach from my own studio and also teach and mentor via email, and online via Live & Skype. I specialise in teaching children, and teenagers pop and musical theatre but I am trained in all genres of music. I have studied every voice technique there is, including Speech Level Singing, Estill, Bel Canto, Robert Lunte, London College of Music, ABRSM, Ria Keen, Kim Chandler, Stevie Van Lange and many more. I have been around!
In 2008 I wrote the Vocaltutor Guide, 21 set lessons for singing teachers to get started, learning to teach, and produced 3 vocal exercise CD/Downloads.
I am now working on my first online singing programme. The Foundations of Singing that will be available on Udemy.

Few singers have equalled Dusty over the years. She set a VERY high standard.
Breathy, husky, emotional and no silly modern day vocal gymnastics. She could sing anything.
Dusty's vocal inflections during ALL of her songs were so natural for her and made EVERY song her OWN !!!
Dusty was just the best. Without a doubt a legend.
Dusty is the greatest female singer I've ever heard. The emotions she brings into her singing is on par with Roy Orbison. It's so believable. You can feel it. The pain, the hope and joy. Beautiful.
yes, such an emotive voice and so effortlessly - but of course it took work and she was a perfectionist. Just none better.
Two of my favorites! Van Morrison is my absolute favorite!
I definitely think Dusty Springfield qualifies as a legend.
Yes, just on hits alone she was HUGE. Read that most music people in the know felt she was the best female singer Britain put out. I agree.
I'm 67 now, Thank You Universe, and I can remember the first time I saw Dusty on TV as a 12 year old boy in 1964 as though it was last night. I'll tell you honestly, I was simply mesmerized. Transfixed. And I still am. She's like Jeff Beck in that that there's two categories of female singers... 1) Dusty Springfield and 2) Everybody Else.
Love that assessment, and couldn't agree more.
Oh what a gorgeous, luscious, dreamy, float-away on a cloud performance💖 A class act. Thank you for posting.
Dusty was a one off. This is a beautiful performance. No doubt a legend. Thank you for featuring Dusty.
Her voice...is....ethereal, and haunting...
That was flawless. She was amazing
A masterclass in blue eyed soul ❤️
No one has ever sung this with the skill and beauty of Dusty Sprinfield. Just perfect.
I've never heard her sing live before, what a gorgeous velvet voice.
Dusty was one of several female singers from the 60s, along with Nancy Wilson, Astrud Gilberto, Dionne Warwick and Eydie Gorme, who totally captivated me with their vocals. Great reaction.
THANK YOU so much for doing Dusty. Yes, she’s iconic AND and legendary. She was such a perfectionist and no pro singer has anything but good things to say about her. Wonderful.
Dusty was flawless in her voice and her hand motions!
I immediately clicked on the Dusty Springfield post. I would not argue that she is a legend. Your assessment was perfect.
Hearing you during this video made me imagine how an entire song would sound with you on the singing end. Your voice is quite lovely.
Dusty is absolutely both iconic and legendary! Thank you for this.
One of the best singers ever......
She is definitely a Legend & an Icon. ♥
A really great assessment of Dusty's singing and how she sang. However every syllable she sang had to blend into the music and mood of the song, which she would work on to make it as perfect as it could be. She was a perfectionist after all. It is her caring about all aspects of her performance that made Dusty, Dusty!! Great job..
Yes, I think most "genuises" were perfectionists. I watched the bio video on YT and learned a lot (the longer one). She could be taxing trying to get everything perfect, but most agree it worked out well ! Always hardest on herself. Gone too soon. I hope to pick up a good biographical book on her.
Wonderful! I have a suggestion! I’d love to see a video with you and Judy garland. That woman had incredible talent!
The UK's greatest singer. Only she could hold her place with US Black soul singers. Love her.
She truly admired Motown. Brought acts over around 1965 to her show and introduced them to British audiences, who embraced them. I think Dusty as a bit early for positive changes happening later, when females were "allowed" or more accepted singing all kinds of music, not just pop (pop is fine, just sayin') Dusty used influences and her own smarts to be Better.
I love when she sang with Petshop Boys! ♥️🌟
Have you hears Dusty singing "Spooky".Its special.
finally a musical singer
Thank you, Dusty is a legend! One of the best UK female vocalists.
Dusty is a true legend. The most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
I agree!
Such a distinctive voice. One of a kind awesomeness! 💕
Yes! I voted for Dusty in two of your polls and each time she was in last place! But you are doing a video on her anyway! Haha love it :)
I met Dusty Springfield many years ago at a club in Chelsea, lovely lady. Great to see her again xx Love your channel.
Really enjoyed this, thank you! Dusty was and is the best, ever.
I realy like to see something like this, where it's not about powerful high notes, but still impressive.
such vocal control, too
LOL YEEEES I am so glad you did Dusty even if she didn't win the poll. ~
I love seeing you react to people you admire as well. :)
early 60's probably hurts some.
Finally! A true singer.
no auto tune there !!!
Well...! As always when I listen to Dusty, I am left a very happy man.
And yes... legend is an appropriate title for her.
I really enjoyed this! Gorgeous sultry voice. Seems absolutely flawless!
I found your reaction channel after the Madonna Eurovision train wreck. I'm really enjoying your reactions, and I love that you're not just reacting to contemporary pop stars. The Madonna thing made me remember seeing another 80's icon singing live past her youngster years. I'd love it if you'd check out 'Cyndi Lauper City Hall Park At Last'. The song starts just after the one minute mark.
Well. Dusty did so much for the music. Apparently in little time because she was very very famous for less than a decade. To me she is one of the best singer in the world. "dusty in memphis" and "cameo" are masterpiece.
Thank you for this tribute. My suggestion for the next tribute would go to kate bush. Very distinctive, very innovative.
Her voice speaks for itself! She wanted perfection and she got it! She was never recognized for her amazing talent and beautiful voice! Rip dusty!!
Dusty was awesome. She was successful in both the UK & USA. Dusty championed the Motown Sound in the UK recording many Motown songs and she presented a TV special edition of Ready Steady Go in 1965 that featured the Temptations, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Smokey Robinson & The Supremes. Sadly her career tanked at the end of the 60s due to drug abuse and backlash after she was outed as being gay. Very different times! Elton John wrote "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" to record with Dusty as a duet but that fell through... The Pet Shop Boys would eventually provide the material and support for her comeback in 1986. Dusty is a massive gay icon. She died aged 59.
One of my all time favorite songs. No cover of this song matches the original Dusty!
This takes me back to my final year of high school! This was one of the songs I was assessed on! I’ve seen this clip many times! So nice to see you watch and enjoy this as much as I did!
Love that you have done a reactions to legends
Love this song
Dusty's was so distinctive from the Springfields day's and solo day's you knew who was singing .
Glad to see older artists getting reacted to not many do.so many underrated singers who influenced the likes of Elvis Presley and top rock and roll artists of the time one main being sister Rosetta tharpe who once played on a station platform in manchester would like to hear your reaction to her singing
Blue-eyed soul singer ("time")
Love love love love love this. So much better then the likes of Ariana, Demi etc. A quality performer with a decadent voice. So glad to see you delving back in time. I know you've never heard me ask before, but pleeeeease a Sarah Brightman video X 😂
Yes! A tru legend. Thank you for this reaction.
I've always loved Dusty's smoky yet beautiful and can I say "subtle" voice. She knew the limits of her voice and stuck to what she knew she can do, not trying to belt out big vocals like some other soul divas.
she could. Not always, but a couple of songs ended with a bigger sound. But, I loved her smooooooth voice !
Dusty Springfield!!!👍👐🤟🤙👌🤌👏💓💗💖❤💓💗🥲❤💓💗💖❤💓💗💖💝
Sublime voice
Apparently the other female vocalists at that time all wished they could sound like Dusty, but realized they couldn't. No other singer has ever had the unique combination of vocal qualities that she did. I've been in love with her voice since childhood.
I think someone once described Dusty's voice as like a reed instrument at times. Very good description
Yes Simon Bell her friend and backing singer said this
Yikes. I've never heard that used in complementary manner to a singer, ever. Diana Ross's voice was often described by critics as high and reedy.
Such an emotive voice, she just had the vocals and the style. Her fave writers were Burt Bacharach, Carole King, Carly SImon, etc. She adored Motown and brought some acts over from America to be on her show, something Brits had not seen, but soon embraced. She also refused to sing to a segregated audience in S. Africa, and was booted out of the country - probably the first artists to stand ground on that and lose money for it. SO many hits, and all showcase that incredible, God given talent (her belief). She was ahead of the times, probably would have done more blues, etc if she'd hit later. But, she is superb in any case. Sorry for long post, but I was a fan from 1967, in high school ! Thanks, your'e opinion is especially important and worth while.
I must add that many vocal coach reactors fail to score singers on their stage presence like their body movements and hand gestures. Notice the line "Takes my breath away" and how she uses her hands to express that "take away" line visually. Here Dusty has these smooth hand gestures to give a visual effect to the lyrics, rather than stand still. The movements suggest the meaning of the lyrics in spots, key word here is "suggest" not "take away" from or interfere with the vocal performance. This shows Dusty was a complete pro onstage. The opposite of this is some reactors who are NOT vocal coaches, the body movements are the first thing that comes out of their mouth, rather than the voice. Why? Because they have been weened on "Music Videos" for decades...they are used to "seeing a song" first rather than hearing it. the expect a dance/dancers on every tune and fast cut edits for the sensationalism they have been sold on, turning music into physical sport competition. Another one that kills me is "oh, darn, it's black and white," not realizing that there was a time color TV programs were rare....Color TV was not affordable to all and most shows were done in black and white because practically no one had Color TV sets. Dusty was a favorite singer as I grew up as a kid in the 60's, you just KNEW it was her on the radio without being told.
Well before my time, but clearly a great voice, as demonstrated here.... I remember her doing NOTHING HAS BEEN PROVED (along with those other PSB collaborations), and have been trying to find a live vocal of it, but all the ones I come across, tend to be those mimed versions like from Top of the Pops appearances - anyway, a great song - very dreamy and sombre, and therefore sang in such a hushed tone.
As for looking at a male voice (or voices) sometime, I recommend the rock band, THUNDER - not a heavy metal band at all, but more bluesy rock, in the vein of: 'Free', 'Bad Company, 'Deep Purple' and dare I say, the Rolling Stones' (but much better!). Performing 'WONDER DAYS at The 100 Club in 2016 and A BETTER MAN, Live in London -1997, are two contrasting songs that I feel are interesting examples, obviously with emphasis on singer, Danny Bowes.
There is one almost "live" vocal of "nothing has been proved", which is Live at the BAFTA awards 1989. It is mimed, but to a raw and recorded version she had done earlier that day especially for the show and it sounds incredibly good and has a very "live sound".
It's nice to see it here. I only knew her from her collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys, on "What Have I Done to Deserve This"
she has soooo many hits going back to 1964. Her voice is amazing and she extended herself to other genres, languages, etc. A true talent.
When i got the notification for this...I thought now you're talking..I was however disappointed with this version..as I think the studio version is much better..the tempo is slower and its seriously sexy..I loved the observations you made and would like to ask..would she have been taught that or was it just natural..check her out singing..if u go away....superb.
I loved it. Ive wanted to do her material.
Thank you
Every morning with my cup of coffee I step outside and go directly to your site. Always brings a smile to start the day!
Unfortunately all those great singers of the past don't engage much in these horrible nowadays on TH-cam.
I love when you talk about them.
I think Dusty is so... accurate.
Love her voice.
Love your channel, by the way.
I'd love to see a video about the live version of Kashka from Baghdad of Kate Bush.
Please do some Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton or Janis Joplin next! Loving the oldies!! ❤️
Yes deffo Patsy Cline and Dolly. Great suggestions.
Love this Georgina! You nailed it.
Wonderful video! I'd like to hear your take on Karen Carpenter (in the tribute series) and Tracey Thorn.
Karen was amazing and should have gotten even more recognition for her voice and style. She was insecure, wanted to be know for her drumming ! And, the YT video of her playing is epic !!! And she looked far happier.I believe she was a Contralto, which is rarer. RIP
Oh, Dusty how you are still missed. A real class act - lots of these young singers who insist on prancing about the stage, surrounded by dancers and distractions, should watch this and take notes. Stand at the mic and SING. If you've got a voice like Dusty, you don't need all the lights, the smoke & mirrors, the outfit changes, the shirtless dancers. Let your voice tell the story. Sadly, there's not a lot of that these days.
some stage fun is ok, IF IF the voice is as good as hers !
Was she singing live or to a track? Sublime voice. She never won a Grammy. She didn't need any awards but it would have been nice.
That wasn't live. She turns her face away from the mic and the sound doesn't change at all. That's typical of lip-synch.
WOW, talk about a shame ! But, female singers were not as appreciated, and not sure she'd be up for American Grammy???? They were late giving her some awards she more than deserved, died too soon. But we know she was worthy.
You think she lip synched to the words the look of love is ON your eyes?? She messes up the words a few times this is not a lip sync
Oh Dusty you never left us
I seriously thought this was a Black woman singing this until NOW. Her tone is beautiful.
Dusty was heavily influenced by US R&B artists and recorded many Motown songs.
I watched a documentary on her recently, She actually hosted a television show where she introduced Motown artists to the UK. Also held a concert in South Africa where she went against the government and was deported as she played to an integrated crowd.
@@emmieladaisy pretty brave back in the day. She stood on honor and not the paycheck.
I love your videos so much ❤️ you’re so lovely
Dusty had it. Some singers have it and some don't. Dusty had it. She had powerful, dramatic quality, yet feminine. This is very rare today.
And Mary Black singing "Thorn Upon The Rose", and many others, WELL worth a look/ listen
I really enjoy watching your videos. I love your facial expressions when someone isn't singing very well. I've loved Dusty's unique sound for a very long time! Thanks for this video. At the beginning of this video you mentioned a video in which you reacted to Donna Summer. I really enjoyed that video as well. It was just recently brought to my attention by a friend of mine that when she first started out, Donna was with the Vienna Folk Opera Company! Who knew? He sent me two links which I'm sharing with you. One is the article about her time there, the other is a link to a live performance in 1979. It's in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the concert that you can hear why the director recruited her to be part of the opera company. Unfortunately, she did not enjoy the experience. Here are the links: www.wqxr.org/story/210118-disco-queen-donna-summer-sang-vienna-opera/ and of the concert: th-cam.com/video/zAuTw8AzTuY/w-d-xo.html
yeah, big fan of Dusty's since my high school days, around 1967. I loved Donna as well and wished she'd recorded more. Such talent. No need to enhance those singers voices !!
You should do Shirley Bassey. Another fabulous singer and song stylist with her own unique sound and qualities.
nice girl, thank you
What a voice she had.just beautiful.could you do one on alison goldfrapp ? Especially singing 'utopia' , stunning voice.
Interesting lesson. I think when she sang it on “Casino Royale “ it was a little slower and a bit huskier but this one is good too. Hope about Charles Aznavour? The French Frank Sinatra.
It might not get all of the likes, but I LOVE this.
(And since I've decided to make it my mission; please look into Angelina Jordan ;-))
Love Dusty, always have. How about Astrud Gilberto and Ella Fitzgerald ?
Fabulous a true ledgened
Dusty should have been a Motown artist. Check out , "Little by Little".
I was told that recording her was a nightmare. She was such a perfectionist that virtually every word she sang was punched (recorded separately on another track, then cut into the mix later, replacing the original word). And of course not a trace of autotuning needed (or available).
I adore Dusty and your asssesment and agree with many as I would love your opinion of ABBA. Will it be Agnetha or Frida who you think is better....
Thank you for this! Would love to see Olivia Newton John, Dolly Parton, Gladys Knight.
yes...Yes...YES!!!!!!
Tina turner
if dusty isn't a legend - who is?
Georgina I love your videos...I would like to See an Emma shapplin's analysis by you. Kisses from Argentina.
Omg please react to early Streisand
Made me laugh when you said "I'll do more men" Hahaha
haha most of the reactive vids do male performers.
Godness voice ❤
Jeannie c riley was amazing as well. Ode to Billy joe.
Off course she's a legend!! Just a thought, I've searched for a vocal coach reaction to a Lady who is a special legend, but to no avail?! So this could be your opportunity to buck the trend....oh, by the way, she's British just like Dusty! Who am I talking about? None other than the amazing Shirley Bassey!! Shirley is now in her 80's and can still belt them out....a true legend!!!
Hearts by Marty Balin.
do Barbra!
A question Honest Vocal Coach. Dusty had an amazing vocal technique, Do you think she developed that herself or did she have coaching?
I think it's time for you to react to Mariah Carey You And I Stevie wonder tribute 😉
Can you react to Matt Bellamy?
This legends segment was supposed to be weekly wasn't it?
@@HonestVocalCoach Great. Looking forward to when you do Elvis.
My thing is also female singers and girl bands, nothing wrong with that!
if you want more views +attract more people.. you should react to some k pop singers, or at least the lead singers of every group .. such as; park bom, taeyeon ..etc. it will make your channel more interesting. Thats all💜
