How does the self-paced video course work?

Beyond the Mic is a self-paced online singing course for beginners. Watch video lessons across five modules and follow the guided exercises on your schedule, from the Philippines or abroad. The ₱2,499 course-only purchase does not include live lessons. Choose a coaching bundle for live 1:1 voice lessons online or in Quezon City alongside the course.

Is this course really for complete beginners?

Yes. Beyond the Mic starts with how your voice works, then guides you through breathing, healthy sound-making, resonance, and applying everything to a song. You do not need formal training.

How much does it cost?

Choose Starter Bundle (1 coaching session + course) for ₱3,999, Vocal Growth (4 sessions + course) for ₱7,999, or Vocal Development (8 sessions + course) for ₱14,999. All bundles allow online or face-to-face coaching at the same price. The course on its own is ₱2,499 one-time. Standalone coaching is ₱2,200 online or ₱2,500 face-to-face per session. Weekend coaching adds ₱200 per session, including bundle sessions.

How do I book a coaching bundle?

Choose your bundle, enter your checkout details, and pay through PayMongo. After confirmed payment, your email includes course access and instructions to contact Coach Illona to arrange your online or face-to-face coaching schedule.

How do I pay?

Choose your purchase, enter your checkout details, then pay through PayMongo. PayMongo may display “Samuel U Web Publishing” as the merchant name. This is the payment account used by Coach Illona for website purchases. After payment confirmation, we email your private access link. No signup or password needed.

When will I receive access?

Access begins after your PayMongo payment is confirmed or an authorized admin approves a manual payment. A checkout redirect or receipt upload alone does not unlock the course.

How long do I have access?

Your approved enrollment gives you ongoing access while the course remains available and your account follows the course terms.

Can I learn on my phone?

Yes. The lessons work on current mobile and desktop browsers. A stable internet connection and headphones are recommended.

Where are the videos hosted?

Lessons use unlisted YouTube videos embedded in private course pages. You must be signed in with an approved enrollment to open the lesson pages, although anyone given a video link can share it.

What if my payment proof is rejected?

Your dashboard will show the reason. You can correct the details and resubmit proof on the same order.

Does this replace medical care?

No. Voice training is educational and is not medical diagnosis or treatment. Stop if you feel pain and consult a qualified medical professional for health concerns.
