Brett Manning’s prowess as a coach is evident in the many award-winning singers he has coached. These include Hayley Williams from Paramore, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Leona Lewis, Wes Hampton, Rob Chapman, and Miley Cyrus. I decided to look for help and I’ve found the Singing Success method developed by Brett Manning (vocal coach to Taylor Swift, Leona Lewis, Hayley Williams of Paramore, Miley Cyrus and many more). After studying with my Brett and his skilled associate teachers, I gained a great increase in my vocal range, power, and stamina. Brett Manning, the creator of the Singing Success program is a professional singer and coach who has trained singers like Grammy nominee Hayley Williams, Grammy award winner Keith Urban, Taylor Swift and a host of singing stars.
