About the Instructor

🖤 i'm yakii, the second half of the musical VTuber duo tsukiyakii! 🖤

  • I am a professionally trained singer with an extensive background in musical theater (Broadway musicals) and classical voice (opera).

  • I have been teaching private voice lessons to students of all ages and backgrounds since 2015.

  • My classical training makes it easy to branch out into any other genre and application. I'm a voice actor, I'm in a rock band, and I sing weeb songs all day on the internet >:)

Your First Lesson

You've taken your first step into finding your voice and building the confidence to share it. I'm proud of you! 🖤Here's what your first lesson might look like.


What to Prepare

  • Water !!!

  • A space where you can be comfortable making a lot of noise.

  • A device for the Discord call.

  • ANY song you want to sing!


1. Getting to Know You

  • What kind of music do you like?

  • Do you have any prior music or singing experience?

  • If you have little to no experience, DON'T WORRY! I am so honored to have you as my student, my beautiful little sprout🌱


2. Your Goals

  • Why did you decide to start taking voice lessons?

  • Your lessons will be unique and geared towards your specific goals.


3. Making Silly Sounds

  • Let's loosen up and get SILLY!!

  • A lot of learning how to sing is learning how to make silly noises that we will refine later.

  • I'll probably ask you to sound like a dog, a cat, a mouse... I PROMISE IT WORKS. ASK MY STUDENTS.


4. Knowing Your Voice

  • Testing your ear.

  • Matching pitch - how accurately can you sing a note that I play?

  • If this is challenging, you're in good hands! Many of my students are working on their pitch matching skills.

  • Finding your range. Where are you most comfortable singing?

  • Low? High? In the middle?


5. Silly Sounds But ~Fancy~

  • More in-depth vocal exercises for strengthening those singin' muscles!

  • Demonstrating proper posture and effective breathing for singing.


6. Singing Your Song

  • Show me what you've got! I'll ask you to sing your song for me.

  • We will figure out where your strengths and weaknesses are.

  • We'll go back and work on the song in small chunks. I will guide you through techniques that will help you sing each passage healthily and with ease.

  • Sing the song again with the things you've learned!


7. Homework

  • We will review what we've learned during the lesson and create a practice plan for you.

  • Whether or not you decide to continue taking lessons from me, I will always leave you with a list of things you can work on to keep improving and strengthening your voice.

Private Lessons

All lessons will be held in a private call on Discord.Here is a guide on how you can optimize your Discord settings for our lesson:


Video Call (recommended)

(I will look like dis but without the maid outfit)

  • Your lesson will be MOST EFFECTIVE if we have a video call.

  • Don't worry -- if you show your face, I'll show mine.

  • I hope the mutual risk helps you feel safer with me. I promise I would never share any images or personal information about you.

  • VTubers and anyone who might be worried about your identity/face being leaked or something -- I understand. As a VTuber myself, I also worry about my identity/face being shared without my consent.

  • We can even sort out something in writing if that helps you feel more comfortable.

Benefits of a Video Lesson

  • I can demonstrate exactly what I want you to do, so that you can easily try to copy what you see.

  • I get to see exactly what you're doing, so that I can tell you exactly how to adjust.

  • Everyone has physical habits that they can't catch on their own.

  • Key components of vocal technique that I look out for:

  • Posture

  • Breathing

  • Mouth shape

  • Tension

  • Emotion

  • Bad habits

  • You will improve significantly faster.

Device Setup

  • If you're on desktop/PC and you have a camera, you're chillin'!

  • If you're on a mobile device like a phone or tablet, it would be helpful to have a second device to play music from.

  • If you leave the Discord app to play your song on a different app, your video feed will go away.

  • I need to be able to see you while you sing, with the music playing at the same time.


Voice-Only Call

  • It is still possible to have an effective and meaningful lesson through a voice-only call.

Benefits of a Voice-Only Lesson

  • Fortunately, I can still hear what you're doing to an extent. I'm pretty good at listening for most of the key components listed above.

  • This option is perfect for anyone who struggles with a lot of anxiety about showing their face.

  • I completely understand that this could induce anxiety that would ultimately hinder the learning process.

  • I want all of my students to feel safe and comfortable, especially since learning a new skill can be uncomfortable and difficult in itself.

  • You can start off doing voice-only lessons and then start doing video lessons if you feel comfortable later on.

  • You can still make huge improvements over time.

Drawbacks of a Voice-Only Lesson

  • I would have to explain in words what I want you to do (like moving your hand in a certain way) instead of just showing you, so explaining things might take longer.

  • You could be doing something incorrectly but I'm unable to catch it.


Purchasing a Private Lesson

After your first free trial lesson, you can purchase additional lessons on my Ko-fi shop.

The item is configured as "Pay What You Want" starting at $20.

  • To purchase 1 lesson, please input $40.

  • To purchase the 4-lesson bundle, please input $150.

  • Discounted lessons and alternate payment plans can also be paid here.

Streamed Lessons

I will be streaming our lesson live on Twitch at twitch.tv/tsukiyakii.I will also be saving and posting clips of our lesson to post on my socials!This will be structured like a normal lesson except that I will pause to answer questions or explain certain concepts to the chat as well.The lesson may last up to 1.5 hours.You may have 1 streamed lesson per month.

screenshots of my lessons with mina! (twitch.tv/minaroll)

How?

  • I will either be showing my face or using one of my VTuber models on stream.

  • You can turn on your webcam in the Discord call, or use a VTuber model / fugi

Webcam

  • I will screenshare your video feed onto my stream.

  • This is the most effective type of streamed lesson.

VTuber Model

  • You will be streaming your model to me through Discord (I can help you set this up).

Fugi

  • A "fugi" is a PNG that bounces every time you speak in the Discord call (I can help you set this up)

  • Check out the fugi website: https://reactive.fugi.tech/
