Overtone singing lessons online

Learn to hear what your voice is already doing.

Overtone singing is the practice of making individual harmonics audible within a single voice.

But learning it is not simply a matter of copying a sound or finding the right mouth position. It begins with listening.

In private online lessons, we explore your voice through careful listening, vocal acoustics, embodied practice and, when useful, real-time spectral analysis.

My approach is simple:

listen before you correct.

Who I am

I’m Iannis Psallidakos, voice teacher, architect, and overtone singing practitioner.

I’m certified by the French state (RNCP Level 6) and trained in practical vocal acoustics with Kenneth Bozeman and Ian Howell.

I came to voice work after years of being told I couldn’t sing. That experience shaped the core of my teaching: I don’t fix voices. I help you hear what yours is already doing, and we build from there.

My background in architecture taught me that small, precise adjustments can transform an entire space. I apply the same principle to the voice,… the resonance you inhabit from within.

How a lesson works

Every session is different because every voice is different. But here’s what you can expect.

We begin by listening. I ask a few questions, then listen to your voice, its sound, resonance, breath and habits. This gives me a picture of where you are now, rather than where you think you should be.

Then we work. Targeted exercises, vocal exploration, spectrogram feedback when it’s useful. I explain the why behind every exercise, not just what to do, but how it works in your voice. That understanding is what lets you reproduce the results on your own.

Throughout the session, I invite you to notice what’s happening: the sensations, the resistances, the moments of ease. We always start by identifying what works, it’s more effective than chasing what doesn’t.

We close with a summary: what we covered, what emerged, and what to explore before next time. You leave with concrete exercises and a clear direction.

Online sessions from your home. You need a computer or phone with camera and microphone, and a quiet space where you can sing freely.

Who are these lessons for?

Complete beginners.

You’ve never tried overtone singing and don’t know where to begin. No musical background is required. We start with listening, breath, and the vocal drone.

Singers and musicians.

You already have vocal or instrumental experience and want to add overtone singing to your practice. The acoustic understanding you’ll gain here will deepen everything else you do with your voice.

Voice teachers and voice professionals.

You want to understand formants, resonance and spectral analysis as practical tools for your own teaching or professional practice.

Artists and performers.

You want to explore the voice as a musical, acoustic and expressive instrument, and develop a more precise awareness of resonance and timbre.
