Singing Carrots

What Singing Carrots is

Singing Carrots is a data-driven vocal training platform for people learning to sing, built, as its About page puts it, "on one belief: anyone can learn to sing." At its center is an AI Vocal Coach that listens through the microphone, analyzes pitch and range, and leads "short daily sessions tailored to your voice." Around it sits a set of free tools, starting with a vocal range test that the About page says hundreds of thousands of singers have used. It is a learner product first, with separate offers for singing teachers and for schools and choirs.

The About page says the idea began in Amsterdam in 2018 and the first product launched in 2019. The founder, Sergey Kuhne, is an engineer with a low voice who kept struggling to find the right key for songs while playing guitar with friends, so he built a tool to match songs to his range. The home page says he drew on 15 years in Big Tech and brought together voice trainers, data scientists and UX experts. The platform grew feature by feature, and in late 2025 it added conversational AI in the form of the AI Vocal Coach. The company behind it is Singing Carrots Limited.

The AI Vocal Coach

The About page calls the coach a "ChatGPT behind the piano". It works out where a singer's voice is, builds a plan around it and adapts each session to what the singer did last time. A short quiz on the home page asks about goals, where the user sings, practice habits and experience, then produces a personalized training plan. The FAQ recommends about 20 minutes a day, 2 to 3 times a week, and says a microphone (even a built-in laptop mic) and a quiet space are enough, with headphones recommended. The site runs in Google Chrome on a computer, tablet or phone, and there is also an iOS app, Singing Carrots AI Coach.

The site is open about the coach's limits. Its FAQ says an AI coach is very good at "the trainable, measurable parts of singing" such as matching pitch, holding notes steady, building range and practicing consistently, but cannot replace a human's real-time physical correction or the encouragement of a teacher or choir. The About page describes it as "a tool in the toolbox" that "complements a human teacher rather than replacing one".

Pitch training, tests and practice tools

The pitch training game is simple: listen to a short melody, sing it into the mic and see on screen whether you hit the notes. It starts with a pitch accuracy test, begins with single notes and grows more complex level by level, and every exercise can be fitted to the singer's range. Correct notes and completed exercises earn carrot points toward a weekly competition, a ranking by game level and a hall of fame. The page says scoring is kept fair: hitting the highest note does not automatically earn more, so nobody is pushed to sing outside their range or strain their voice.

Other practice tools include sustain and breath training, custom exercises built from MIDI files, a simple pitch monitor and a spectrum monitor. A statistics dashboard records every vocal range measurement and pitch training result over time and shows how a singer compares to other players.

The free tools are how most people meet the site, according to the About page. The vocal range test finds the lowest and highest notes in about a minute, the pitch accuracy test shows whether a singer drifts flat or sharp, and the song tools find songs in a singer's range, the right key for any song and the ranges of famous singers. The home page says the song database covers over 75,000 titles, filterable by difficulty and genre. A personal songbook gathers a repertoire for karaoke or a performance set and links lyrics, sheet music, chords, karaoke and YouTube audio for each song.

Courses and video library

There are two structured courses, From Zero to Singing Hero and All-Round Vocalist. The home page describes one as a 4-week program for absolute beginners and the other as a comprehensive course of 21 lessons on singing theory and technique, covering breath support, intonation, articulation, singing in different genres, stage fright and voice health. The video library, available after signing in, holds exercises, explainers and tips tagged by topic: warm-ups, breath support, chest, head and mixed voice, vocal breaks, resonance, vibrato, twang, growling, posture, nasality, intervals and performing. Titles include Head Voice vs. Chest Voice, How to Raise Your Soft Palate and a three-minute warm-up.

Teachers, schools and the directory

For teachers, Singing Carrots Studio is a video lesson platform built for singing lessons, which the site presents as an alternative to Zoom, Google Meet and Skype; the home page says qualified teachers get free access through an ambassador program. Teachers can set the site's tools as homework between lessons. Schools and choirs can buy bulk licenses at a discount, giving each student an account and the teacher an administrative dashboard to track progress.

The teacher directory lists 1901 teachers and can be browsed by location, with city pages for London, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto and Sydney. The site says it charges teachers no listing fees or commissions and sends students to book directly through the teachers' own websites.

Price and results

The core tools are free and unlimited, and the About page states: "The AI Vocal Coach's ongoing sessions and the structured courses are paid." Prices are shown only after logging in, and the home page offers a 10% discount code for any product at checkout.

The site publishes its own outcome figures. The pitch training page promises results "backed by data from 163348 successful users". The home page says 95% of users who practice at least twice a week widen their range by 2 notes within the first 5 weeks, that 82% of users who start below 60% pitch accuracy improve it by 10% within 3 weeks, and that 80% see results in 2 weeks and 90% in 4 weeks. Its FAQ cites a 7-month analysis of 359 singers using the AI coach, whose range grew by 2.8 semitones on average, with 62% expanding it.

Who it suits

The About page names its audience: beginners who have been told, or assume, that they cannot sing and want to find out otherwise; hobbyists who sing at home, at karaoke or with friends; and any singer who wants objective feedback and structured practice between lessons, or instead of lessons they cannot easily access. The FAQ adds that most successful customers are amateurs, including choir singers and musical theater performers, and that many users are in their 60s and 70s. The platform rewards short, regular practice more than long sessions.

The trade-off is the one the company states itself: the coach cannot give in-the-room physical correction or a teacher's encouragement. Singers who need that can pair the daily practice with a human teacher, which is what the directory and Studio are there for.
