EVI starting 2025 out STRONG 💪🏽

We are less than one month into 2025 and we're already off and running with good vibes for Extreme Vocal Institute! Here's what's happened thus far:

ONE.

David has been featured in a video on YouTube's channel with other vocal coach creators to highlight our community and his work on our channel. Drop a 💬 on it if you've been loving our channel ♥️

TWO.

Speaking of YouTube - we've been on 🔥 posting new long form videos this year and we don't plan on stopping! If you haven't seen them, check out the following:

We have lots more planned for our channel this year and will be diving back into our Behind The Screams interview series very soon!

THREE.

Our course program EVI Now has gotten a visual makeover with new features to help streamline the learning process and help you track your progress throughout our courses. We've also published a new course, making that THIRTY EIGHT in total.

New formatting for EVI Now courses allows easier navigation through lessons and progress tracking

We plan to continue expanding and improving the program through the rest of 2025 to ensure that our members are getting the most out of their time with us and always have new things to dive into and work on.

If you are a member and are enjoying the program, please consider leaving us a review here. We are particularly interested in hearing about how the new updates are treating you all!

We are currently running a sale to celebrating the new features on EVI Now! Save 35% on all plans with the code NEWLOOK at checkout.

FOUR.

David has been on tour with his band Renesans and doing in-person lessons while on the road. We will be continuing to offer this on future tours where venues and scheduling permits. It's been a great success thus far and David has been really enjoying getting to meet so many of you and talk vocals!

If you want us to make in-person lessons available in your area, request a show in your city via Bandsintown so we can submit a list to Renesans' booking agent to hopefully make it to your area sometime in 2025!

Admittedly, 2024 was a bit of an odd year for us as we learned how to balance David's band getting busier with staying on top of all our platforms with Extreme Vocal Institute (we aren't perfect) BUT we've found a really good balance and are committed to making sure that both Renesans and Extreme Vocal Institute remain of equal priority!

Looking forward to making the rest of 2025 bigger and better! Thank you for all the continued support and for helping us reach new heights in every direction.
