Vasili Karpiak is an amazing professional teacher. I have toured all over the world and trained professionally for the past 20 years, and my lessons with Vasili brought my vocal quality to another level! He is excellent at explaining techniques and has given me the confidence to try new music styles. He is passionate about the arts and it shows in the way he teaches. I am so glad that I was able to take lessons from this phenomenal teacher! If you are looking for a voice teacher that will make you smile, feel confident, expand your range, improve your breathing and help you connect to the notes and text, than look no further! Vasili is the teacher for you!!!!

An absolutely amazing Teacher and Mentor...We started lessons with Vasili hoping to become stronger and more capable singers. It would be an understatement to say he his a very experienced tutor. Making us as students feel very comfortable and motivated. He is very good at explaining how to use your voice correctly and be more confident and effective while singing. He has taught us how to be better performers and artists; as he is a truly amazing guide for us both as students.There really has been a drastic improvement in our vocal abilities and I am sure we will only get better and more successful as singers and performers with thanks to his help.

We have classes with Vasiliy for more than four years going through the Voice Kids UK and other experiences. He is an excellent motivating coach, singing himself well. His classes are never boring with best abilities of the voice extracted and enhanced. Opera is obviously at top, but not only that. Everything vocally sound will be great.

So i turned up for my first vocal lesson ever, being an over 40 year old male , I'm thinking I'm too old for this gig , played guitar for many years, with some great vocalists , but never really tried to sing, apart from in the car when I'm alone , embarrassed zero confidence feeling stupid and almost wondering how I got to even book a vocal lesson, I mean come on , singing isn't for me , I sound terrible, any how, I'm waiting outside the rehearsal rooms in like the steinway studios, ok I'm about to do a runner , this is way above my grade .... but I'm caught on the way out, by Vasili , he says hello, and already the stress is starting to drain away, awesome karma right from the off , so we begin , within seconds I feel more and more relaxed , he understands my lack of confidence Im a beginner , patient fun encouraging, zip an hour into various fun call and response piano training and physical techniques , and I'm actually hitting some notes , and I don’t think they sound too bad anymore - that was like 1 lesson.I book again for another lesson in the following week, as i wait again outside another great rehearsal facility in central London , out walks a future star operatic singer, I recognize him fro the TV, he was training with Vasili before my lesson, I'm like wow, this guy teaches the stars, and now he has to adjust his lesson back down to my beginners level, which he does effortlessly -, one of those rare people in life , don't hesitate to book a lesson , its life changing , if your a beginner and thinking about singing , call this guy , he is amazing The lessons gave me a huge amount of confidence , made me release that songs I used to shy away from, as they were too high for my voice, now are my play ground, Vasili has brought music back into my soul - and for that I can not thank him enough

Vasili is a very gifted vocal coach. He is encouraging and demanding but always positive and supportive. His knowledge of the repertoire for different voices is deeply informed by his own training and experience, which he is constantly expanding (to the benefit of his students). I recommend Vasili whether you want to discover your voice for the first time, enhance your existing vocal capabilities or want help in building your confidence.

Vasili is a fantastic teacher. As a complete beginner having never taken vocal coaching sessions before I was able to make progress very quickly with his guidance. I have learnt so much and seen a huge improvement in my voice within a short period of time.

I have just had two lessons with Vasili to improve my speaking for my YouTube videos. I and others can already see a dramatic improvement in my presentation style. He's fun, engaging and over delivers. Highly recommended.

Vasili is an incredible teacher. In only a few lessons he progressed my voice and had me sounding better than I ever imagined possible. He has a way of relating concepts so I can quickly grasp them and understand them. Most of all he really and truly cares about and believes in his students. I find singing scary and he has boosted my confidence and my sound. I highly recommend him. You will be so happy with your progress.

Vasili is an amazing teacher that is very confident, encouraging and professional. He helped me improve my stamina, use of my diaphragm, ability to belt high notes and overall quality of my voice. I noticed dramatic results straightaway so I highly recommend him!

I feel fortunate to have found Vasili as my vocal coach. So professional and fun to work with. He is focused on growing not only your sound but also your confidence as a performer. His positive energy, passion for music and excitement for what he does is unrivalled, and very much felt by his students.Thanks to Vasili’s guidance, my vocal range has grown in a short period of time. He has helped me sing in a way that feels easy and effortless, especially when struggling with a difficult phrase of particular note - he knows exactly how to make it happen. I leave every session with him feeling like I’ve truly learned and improved.Thoroughly recommended.

I had lesson with Vasili for a couple of months and highly recommend him! I come out of these lessons each time awed by the progress I've made in my singing, sounding so much better than I thought I could.

Vasili is a great vocal coach and inspiring singer! I only did a couple of vocal sessions with him and I saw results straighaway. The most important thing I learnt from him is how to get more confidence in myself as a singer and how to get more power in my singing. I was very impressed by his music abilities, he has a very beautiful and powerful voice and great teaching skills.He is a very dedicated teacher and very generous in sharing valuable music knowledge even outside sessions. I would highly recommend him as a vocal coach! 🎶🎼✨✨✨✨✨

Don’t miss out on working with Vasili Karpiak! His bright sharp method will make you learn and thrive faster because you're having fun throughout the lessons. Walk in with a positive attitude and let yourself be taken to unexpected heights that will astonish you. I've had the great honour of working with the greats like Blair Singer, Samuel Leeds and Grant Cardone, and let me tell you Vasili is right up there with them. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you Vasili!

Vasili is an amazing singing teacher. He has been giving our daughter singing lessons for some time now and she has made extraordinary progress under his coaching. Not only has her vocal range improved considerably, but she has also built up her confidence and performance. Vasili has vast amounts of experience, brings in-depth expertise, and has endless patience. Huge Thanks!

We met Vasili in the process of my 11-year old son’s preparing for a musical audition. Not only did Vasili help my son raise his singing piece to a very good standard but he also showed him the best way to present himself during an audition. My son clearly enjoyed the singing classes and benefitted from Vasili’s expert touch. Konrad moved from being someone lacking in confidence to being a well-prepared, self-assured performer.

I have had sound 5 lessons with Vasili and he has completely turned my singing around! After the first lesson I boosted my range by 3 semi tones and now I can confidently sing 5 semi tones higher than before! The best teacher I have ever had I couldn’t recommend him more highly!! Ritho

Amazing talent for singing and for teaching, he makes it so easy and the way that he makes you feel it turns it into sume thing very achievable. I can't wait till next class. Don't waste your time looking for other teachers. Great ubication.

I have started training with Vasili after my relocation from Bali where I had another voice coach. I have noticed great improvement: Vasili had been challenging me to extend to the length I was not aware I would reach. I can certainly say that Vasili provides with structure, encouragement and techniques that I found vital for me training.

Katia Descamps

My 10 years old daughter found Vasili on internet and what she didn't expect is that she found much more than a singing teacher. She found the only person able to give her back self confidence, empowerment and joy! After just few lessons she's able to express who she really is and her emotions through her voice. If she could she would take a daily lesson. Vasili definitively belongs to the very few people that I consider as real leaders, on top of his musical talent.

Two words to describe my experience with Vasili..... Life Changing! After spending four months with this tutor, I never thought my voice would be any better than it is now! Thank you Vasili from the bottom of my heart for being such a joy to work with! If anyone is serious about singing, Vasili's magic will change your voice forever! You will not regret your sessions! Trust me!!

After a good deal of research I contacted The Vocal Coach. Very glad I did because Vasili is talented, professional, patient and inspiring. He understands and is able to explain the mechanics of singing, helping his students to find their own confident voice. He is uncompromising but encouraging and has completely transformed my approach to singing

Making an initial singing lesson appointment was probably one of the most challenging things I have ever done. As a psychotherapist my work is often very serious and I had been challenged to think of something I had always wanted to do, to take me away from work and back to myself and fun. I arrived at my first lesson filled with self doubt and kept reminding myself that I never had to see the singing teacher again and in the worst case I could just leave. Several months later, I look forward to every lesson and am disappointed when it finishes. This has only been possible by the gentle and encouraging way that Vasili works. He is a true professional. There is no ego and all I have received is the sense that he wants me to progress and to find parts of myself that I have yet to explore and express. Demons of self doubt are gradually fading and I find myself moving through shyness and starting to blossom in ways that I had never imagined. Much gratitude.

Well, When I have met Vasilli for first lesson I enjoyed straight way, because he is very professional, he make you feel comfortable and confident. He is helping me to sing songs that I never ever thought sing one day and now this is coming through.. I am so happy and I really recommend Vasilli...

I came to Vasili as a complete beginner to singing and with so many psychological blocks about the process. Vasili’s experience and genuine passion for singing has made the process of unlocking my voice an inspiring and enjoyable challenge. He brings total commitment and connection to each session and has shown me parts of myself and my voice that I had yet to meet.

Look no further for a vocal coach in London! I have been amazed by the progress made in such a short time working with Vasili. Not only has he helped me greatly improve my vocal technique, he has been committed to my development as an artist. I can confidently say Vasili is the best vocal coach I’ve worked with!

I have requested Vasili to help me transition from a soft and quiet voice to a deeper, louder, more mature voice that would give me more presence in business environment.Vasili fully understood my ask and quickly identified the technical points that required improvements. In addition, Vasili took the time to understand the psychological undercurrents that led me to assume behavioural habits that were not conducive to my goal. As a result, Vasili has offered me a very personalised and holistic teaching approach and already after a few lessons I understood the causes of my problem and learned useful techniques. Vasili’s deep knowledge, professionalism and a genuine desire to help his students were admirable and it was a pleasure to work with Vasili throughout. K.K.

I am working with Vasili for a while now and I am very very happy . I can start to see progression all ready. I had other vocal coaches but must say Vasili is an A* vocal coach. Don’t take my word for it , just book some lessons and you will see. ( no one does miracles in 1 session)Great job Vasili

I have recently enrolled my 11 year old Grandson for classes with Vasili. I was overwhelmed by the immense improvement after just one lesson and subsequently. Vasili has a wealth of knowledge in singing, voice, and breathing techniques and conveys the necessary information in a concise manner that is easy for a child to take in. My Grandson loves the lessons and can appreciate how much he is improving week by week. I would highly recommend Vasili as a singing teacher for all genres - Classical Opera, Musical Theatre and Popular Music.

Vasili has been teaching my 14yr old son for about 3 months. I looked for a teacher for him primarily because as he went through his voice change he lost confidence in his singing as was unable to use and control his voice. I was surprised at how much he learned from the very first lesson and how he started believing in his voice again. Vasili is knowledgeable, proactive and quick to discern even the subtlest details and has a fantastic ability of getting the best out of my son's voice. He has learned the technicalities of how to use different parts of the body to optimise his singing as well as performing to a crowd in a very short space of time. Vasili is very inspiring and makes the lesson fun that my son looks forward to it every week. It has been a pleasure to watch him gradually unfolding, enjoying his voice and reaching new depths that he never thought possible before. I highly recommend Vasili to anyone who is serious about training their voice.

I’m a Brazilian Actor, and in the last year I was in London having singing classes with Vasili Karpiak for a month.I'm studying voice since 2014, and the month with Vasili was the best singing classes I have ever had.I learn easily, quickly , with technique and love.I'm looking forward to come back to London, and learn more with Vasili.One of the best teachers I have ever had!

Мила Воронина

Vasili’s teaching became to me a new level of vocal creative work.The most valuable was that I started to believe in myself. I’ve heard my real voice. I’ve rid of tightness in the area of my jaw and have learned to breathe in a right way. I started to experience more connection with my body and “gained friendship” with my throat.For me it was like a “vocal coach therapy” and deep transformation on psychological, emotional and physical level.In the end of the course I felt myself light and free, as someone cleaned me through with a strong stream of water using a “Karcher”I felt like two wings grew on my backI am sincerely grateful!PS after on of our sessions I realised: I do not want to come back to previous teachers and go down to the previous level. I want to grow further. Thank you!

My 8 year old son has been seeing Vasili for the last 6 months. My son never had any previous experience with singing and has since become very confidant singing a range of songs from Aladdin to Ed Sheran Perfect. Vasili is very knowledgeable and makes the lesson fun for my son who looks forward to each week to his Thursday lessonIf your looking for a patient, knowledgeable teacher, who makes the lesson very enjoyable look know further
