Sing better with every take.

Record one verse or upload your cover. Your coach hears what's already working, finds The One Thing to improve, and coaches you through it. One take at a time.

• No credit card required
• Free coaching preview on your take
• Results in about two minutes
• Unlock a qualified complete review for $3.99

Your coaching opens like a story

First what worked - in your coach's words, quoting your own lyrics back to you. Then The One Thing: the single change that will move your next take the most.

If your take can't support a real review, we say so

Every review is checked against what the recording can actually prove. When the audio is too thin to back up specific coaching, you get the honest version of what we heard, and we don't ask you to pay for it. That is the whole reason to trust the reviews you do unlock.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI coaching work?

Upload a video or audio of yourself playing any song. Our AI analyzes your pitch, rhythm, timing, and technique, then gives you specific, actionable feedback - just like a real music teacher would. Think of it like watching game tape with a coach. The AI spots things you can't hear yourself doing because you can only critique yourself at your current skill level.

Why isn't this free?

Performance Coach is a one-person business right now, and my goal is to make quality coaching feedback available to millions of users, 24/7. I'm Eric, the creator and a musician for more than 20 years, and I pay real costs for every coaching session: analyzing the video and audio of your recording, gathering evidence the coaching can use, writing the coaching, and checking it against what your recording can actually support before you see it. That checking is what makes the coaching trustworthy. I also pay for the database and security tools that keep your coaching sessions private to you. Every take still starts with a free coaching preview. If you want more insight, you can unlock the full coaching session for $3.99. When our system can review your take accurately, the unlock gives you the complete Performance Map (a timeline of your transcribed lyrics and a synced note-by-note vocal timeline), replayable Coaching Notes with timestamps, an evidence-backed written review, a practice plan, and your Take 2. Upload a new version of your original take within seven days for another full coaching session, so you can hear what changed between them. We call this the Take 2 Loop. It follows how deliberate practice works: get specific feedback, try again, and listen for the difference. Paying for one of our products, like the Take 2 Loop or an annual subscription, is how you can support this project. I work on Performance Coach every day while working other jobs to pay the bills. Packs and subscriptions cover complete reviews at a lower per-session cost.

Can AI really replace a human teacher?

Nope - and it shouldn't! Think of Performance Coach as a practice partner, not a replacement. Use it to get instant feedback when your teacher isn't available, practice more consistently between lessons, track your progress over time, and make the most of your teacher's time by coming prepared.

What if I've never had a teacher? Can I still use this?

Absolutely - this is perfect for you! If you've been practicing alone, you probably have blind spots you don't even know exist. You can't fix what you can't hear, and you can only critique yourself at your current skill level. Performance Coach gives you that third-person perspective - like watching yourself play through someone else's ears.

What instruments does it work with?

Coaching works for singers and guitarists right now - solo voice, solo guitar, or singing while you accompany yourself. That focus is what makes the pitch and timing evidence dependable. More instruments will follow.

Can I sing in a language other than English?

Yes. Your lyrics are transcribed in the language you sang them in.

What if I don't like it?

Start with a free coaching preview, with no credit card required. A $3.99 unlock includes the complete evidence-backed Take 1 review plus your Take 2 review. Start Take 2 within seven days of unlocking. Paid subscriptions retain the 7-day money-back guarantee.

Do I need special equipment?

Nope! Just your phone or computer. Record with whatever you've got - even phone audio works great. We focus on your playing, not your recording quality.

How many songs can I upload?

As many as you want! Your session limit is per month, not per song. Upload different songs, multiple takes of the same song, or compare different versions to find your best performance.

Is there an AI app that can tell me if I'm singing in tune?

Yes. Performance Coach AI can evaluate pitch accuracy when the recording provides a reliable musical target, and it will switch to pitch stability or pitch-center feedback when a true accuracy score is not defensible. The goal is useful coaching without pretending the data is more precise than it is.

What's the best AI singing coach app?

Performance Coach AI is built specifically for singers who want actionable feedback. Unlike basic tuner apps, it reviews your complete performance - pitch, timing, dynamics, and expression - with AI coaching that watches AND listens to your video. You get a written coaching review with replayable moments and specific practice steps, not just a pitch graph.

How accurate is AI pitch analysis compared to a human ear?

Performance Coach AI uses audio analysis and AI coaching together. When the evidence supports it, we show pitch and timing accuracy metrics; when it does not, we label the result as limited and focus on stability, pitch center, dynamics, and the next useful practice action.

Can I use this to practice cover songs?

Yes! Our Cover Song Hero feature is designed exactly for this. Pick any song, paste a YouTube link as a reference, record your cover, and get AI-scored feedback comparing your performance to the original. You can even challenge friends to see who scores higher on the same song.

How long does it take to get coaching feedback?

Most takes finish in a few minutes. The results page shows each processing stage, and you can leave safely and return from your Dashboard. Your review includes only the measurements the recording can support, plus The One Thing and a focused next-take practice action.

Is my data private? Who can see my recordings?

Your recordings and coaching data are private by default. Only you can see your performance analyses and coaching feedback. We use secure cloud storage and never share your recordings with other users. You can optionally share challenge results with friends via Cover Song Hero, but your original recordings stay private.
