Unmuted: online vocal coaching in Toronto, built around a 12-week plan.
Practicing the wrong things only locks in bad habits. As your Toronto vocal coach, I build every lesson and every week of homework around what I hear in your voice, so you stop guessing and start improving.
Free, no obligation. 20 minutes, on video.

Nate had written songs since he was 17 but never felt confident in his voice or his writing. After 4 months of working together, he released music. Since then he has put out 3 songs on multiple platforms, done interviews on American podcasts and radio stations (including a page with 60,000 Instagram followers), and performs live.
“Since training with Michael, I’ve seen real progress in my voice, control, and confidence. He’s played a huge role in shaping me as an artist.”
Results vary based on starting point and practice.
Who you'll be working with
I'm Michael Zuzek, a Toronto-based recording artist, performer, and music educator. I've played piano for 19 years and graduated from Queen's University with an honours degree, making the Dean's List along the way. I've written, produced, and sung two singles that charted on UK iTunes, but what I enjoy most is helping people reach the goals they came to me with.
-
#19 on the UK iTunes Rock chart (July 2024) with my single “The Man Who’s Never Found,” which I wrote, produced, and sang.
-
#119 on the UK iTunes Pop chart (June 2024) with my debut single “Graystone,” which I wrote, produced, and sang.
-
100,000+ streams on Spotify in under 10 months (as of March 2025) with my debut album “Everest,” which I wrote, produced, and mastered.
-
Performing live with my band at The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto (June 2025).

Common questions
What happens on the free consultation?
On the consultation, we talk about your goals, your music history, your vocal history, and what I can do to help. We go through how Unmuted would be structured around your goals and what starting today would look like. It's free and there's no obligation, and you'll leave with a clearer picture of what's holding your voice back and what the next step is.
Are lessons online?
Yes. All lessons are by video call, so you can train from anywhere. You only need a stable internet connection, a device with a microphone, and a quiet space.
I'm a beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. All levels of skill are welcome. As a beginner, the most important way to improve is personalized teaching that targets your natural strengths and your imperfections. That's what Unmuted is built around: every lesson and every week of homework comes from what I hear in your voice, so your practice time goes to what actually moves you forward instead of guessing or reinforcing bad habits.
How much does it cost?
Unmuted is $1,200 + HST. That includes twelve weekly 45-minute one-on-one sessions, personalized weekly homework, a structured practice plan, and accountability throughout. Payment is due in full when you book.
