What Students Are Saying
At Kent Vocal Studio, students of all levels—from beginners to professionals—experience real results. Here’s what they’re saying about their lessons with Luke Kent.

I first met a student of Luke’s in the audition queue for The Phantom of the Opera in London. That student gave me one of Luke’s top tips for healthy high notes.
Using this tip alone I was able to secure myself a place on the tour, so I made sure to secure some lessons with him while in Sydney.
Since my first few lessons with Luke in person, and subsequent lessons online, I have managed to continually and consistently develop great overall vocal health, which is vital for me especially as a professional singer in regular demand.
I have had some wonderful teachers over the years, each with their own particular technical focus, however with Luke, I feel he brings a holistic approach to vocal health and development, combining vast technical knowledge with imagery that works best for my own creative personality. In just one year, I have felt my voice feel freer, and my breath feel more calm and controlled, than I have in many years combined beforehand. I rely on Luke wholeheartedly as my vocal trainer and trust him completely to guide me in keeping bad habits away, so I can enjoy singing at my best, and then better and even better as I go.
He also happens to have a warm personality that makes lessons fun too, creating a space where I feel free to discover my voice without any judgements; only constructive feedback and vocal exercises that really, really help.
Thank you Luke!

I have been a student of Luke's for 3 years now and without him I wouldn't vocally be where I am today. His deep understanding and passion for the vocal health and technique has left me with important knowledge on how to continuously improve my singing skills in a safe and healthy way. To anyone looking to improve their vocal technique witht longlasting results I have and will continue to reccomend Luke.

I’ve been having lessons with Luke for over a year now, as I play regular gigs with a couple of bands, and I couldn’t be happier. Before training with Luke, I would find it difficult to do two consecutive days of gigs as my voice just couldn’t handle load due to the lack of technique and getting put under unnecessary strain. Now after working with Luke weekly, my technique and overall vocal health has improved ten fold and I no longer have to miss gig opportunities or rehearsals due to my voice needing to rest or being overstrained.
Luke continues to help me reach my singing goals as lessons are based around overall techniques and exercises which have a direct impact on my whole vocal repertoire and not just specific songs. This has allowed me to improve my singing as a whole on a consistent basis as we don’t get bogged down on specific sections or songs but rather practices which will help my singing entirely. It also allows me to see and track improvements a lot easier as we consistently check in and make adjustments to exercises for continued improvement.
I would highly recommend Luke to anyone who is looking to take their singing to the next level or is playing gigs regularly and is concerned with the longevity of their vocal health. I wouldn’t be anywhere close to the singer I am now without the help of Luke’s lessons!

Oliver Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist
I have been a student of Luke's for over 5 years now and have tremendous growth in my vocal abilities and confidence. Luke is always researching and adapting new exercises into our lessons specifically suited to my type of voice and vocal goals. His vocal knowledge encompasses the workings of respiratory system, the function of diaphragm as well as mental awareness and how these elements affect your singing. My favourite thing about Luke is that he is a teacher who never stops learning and I could not recommend him enough.
Holly Sydney
As an actor it's important to me that vocal technique comes as naturally as possible, so that I can focus on my job, WITHOUT having to worry about singing.
Luke's teaching keeps my voice relaxed and tension free which prevents any distractions from my job. This gentle easy approach to technique has kept my voice in health and secured me roles such as Anthony in 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' and Jesus in 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.
This has all been achieved in under 18 months with Kent Vocal Studios, and no prior formal vocal training.

Andrew Bryan online student London UK
Amazing vocal teacher who can easily teach students in an easy to understand way in many different vocal and singing styles he is a great teacher and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to properly learn how to sing.
Jade Matthews Sydney
If you are looking at taking singing lessons I would highly recommend Luke at Kent Vocal Studio. Luke is a very talented teacher who really knows his stuff.
I have seen more progress in my voice than ever before since I have been working with him. I was always very shy as a singer and Luke helped me work past that. Studying with Luke has helped me gain more confidence and believe in myself. So much so that I have recently just moved to Los Angeles to pursue my career as a musician.
Luke helped me out with preparing for recording my first EP and even assisted us with fixing up some things on my bands songs. Some teachers are stuck in their old ways and not willing to broaden their knowledge which I believe is extremely important as a teacher. Luke is consistently broadening his vocal knowledge, and is very up to date with what is going on in the singing world.
I feel extremely fortunate I found Luke, his belief and respect for me as a person and as a singer has helped me get me where I am today. Whenever I am stuck with things now, on the other side of the world, I know Luke is only a message or Skype call away!

Luke has helped me be a more confident singer. I love the way he breaks down and explains how your voice works so there is no mystery. He made me believe in myself as a vocalist. Awesome teacher. The best.
Makeda Aset Sydney
I have had quite a few teachers in my time and some of them are very high profile and yet I am constantly amazed by Luke’s advice and teaching. He is so committed to his craft which means that his students truly benefit from his ever-growing knowledge and expertise. I feel blessed to have found him and I’m so excited about the now limitless possibilities of how I can grow from here!
Chantal Harrison vocalist of Chantal and Cesar Sydney
Learning singing with Luke has been vocally life changing.
I have been to many different vocal teachers before (including conservatorium trained) and I have not excelled and felt more satisfied with my voice as I have with Luke.
The rare thing about Luke as my vocal teacher, compared to my other vocal teachers is that he allows you to understand the anatomy of your vocal chords and how they work, which I find invaluable.
Luke has successfully gotten me through things from school prac assessments to productions with musical companies and gigs with Chatswood high big band.
The support and knowledge that Luke has provided me over the time that I have been learning singing from him has been invaluable.

I cannot speak more highly of Luke Kent as a vocal teacher! He knows so much about the voice because he has such a passion for it. He is encouraging every step of the way, with different ideas to suit each person as an individual singer, his teaching method is perfect for any singer, at any stage of their vocal journey, from professional to someone just starting out. A true find!
Clarissa Spataprofessional soprano
I would like to introduce myself as a music and instrument enthusiast who has been exploring
theoretical and performing musical arts for around 10 years. Throughout my time into music, I
always considered vocals to be a void in me as I was hardly able to grasp the art of vocals.
I would like to consider my encounter with Luke Bernard Kent as a milestone in my journey of
Vocals and overall musical understanding. I started my learning with Luke in an hour and half
long one to one session in 2021. I personally requested Luke for a comprehensive session
during that time. And by the end of the session I realized that I was poured with Liquid Gold of
the vocal insights, muscular movements during vocals, ways to enhance musical vocals in a
safe way. Foundational elements like posture, breathing, tone and texture, vocal register,
pitching, vowels and tongue/ jaw positioning has been well mastered by Luke, which he assisted
to develop the insight in me. These insights helped me to gradually progress in very visible and
audible form.
I am highly inspired from the wisdom which Luke possesses. His knowledge has been driven from his intense passion towards vocal and music. As I carried on multiple sessions with Luke, I came to an understanding that he has been constantly learning and improving himself from a generation of Legendary Vocal Masters. He has used various literary references from a wide range of genuine sources to enhance his sagacity. Luke’s knowledge also includes anatomical analysis of the body which makes his guidance more logical.
I have been blessed with the opportunities to learn a lot of Luke’s wisdom through his One-on- One - face to face session, Virtual sessions and in a Group session. With well guided exercises and insights into vocals and music, I find myself to be more free and confident to sing with my people, sing for my loved ones and sing for myself.

Luke is a legend singing teacher! In just a couple of lessons, he is absolutely helping me unlock my full natural voice particularly in the higher registers.
There are so many variables in singing and half the time you’re not sure if you’re connecting it all right.
He really listens and wants to understand your musical journey and what you are trying to achieve and then draws on a ton of theory and practical wisdom to help you achieve your full vocal goals.
We do mainly online lessons which are very convenient and work fantastic. I always come away feeling like I’ve achieved some groundbreaking results for my voice.
Highly recommend if you want someone that can help you to keep getting better - particularly for advanced singers semi-professional, professional, across all musical styles.

Oliver TaylorSinger/Songwriter
It took me years to go back to singing after I worked with a teacher who sapped my confidence and left me thinking that I really can't sing. So, it was a relief when I took my first class with Luke. His philosophy is that everyone has a voice and they just need assistance in finding what works for them.
Besides making singing lessons fun, Luke has been able to identify my unique needs and provided me with exercises that have developed my voice, improved my breathing and given me the confidence to sing out loud. He has a wealth of knowledge on techniques that when practiced can improve your singing voice. The improvement with some basic changes to how I sing has been extraordinary. Luke is very (very) patient and is student focussed. He has helped me rediscover the joy in singing. I would recommend him to anyone who loves to sing.
