MyVoicePal is a web portal that aims to bridge that gap between instructor, student, and parents! This portal is safe for both students and parents, and allows each party to book time with their instructor, see upcoming lessons, view account balances, see previous lessons, gain access to their current voice plan (often modified per lesson!), enter their zoom room, and get access to important announcements from their instructor.
Thorough considerations were taken to ensure that personally identifiable information is not stored by MyVoicePal. External services for payment are used (Venmo), and for booking we use Google Calendar. By using these services, you agree to their own set of conditions. These platforms have active teams working to protect your data, all exclusive to MyVoicePal. MyVoicePal is not partnered with Google or Venmo in any way, and therefore any concerns with these two platforms should be taken up with their respective companies.
Here is a breakdown regarding what data MyVoicePal keeps:
MyVoicePal offers many features to make your experience managing lessons and practicing simple!
Announcements are available to view on your main dashboard. Your instructor may announce temporary closures, important notes, promotions, and more. Keep an eye out on this page, but know that your instructor will always do their best to carry the announcement into your next lesson.
Click the "Book Lesson" tab to be directed to the booking page. If you do not have any upcoming lessons, your center widget will show a button to "Book Now."
After a lesson you will receive a Venmo request from your instructor once the lesson has been closed out. Your account balance will be kept up to date by your instructor. If you notice anything is out of place, please reach out to your instructor immediately. You can view your account balance on the main dashboard.
If you go to your "Balance" page, you can see every lesson booked, what the rate was, and if it was paid. This page will also contain a QR code and link to your instructor's Venmo page.
You can see notes from your previous lesson given by your instructor on your main dashboard page.
Your instructor will provide you with a custom voice plan after each lesson. You can view this voice plan at the bottom of your provided notes on the dashboard, or by visiting the "Voice Plan" page. Each voice plan will begin with a custom warm-up sequence, the song(s) you are currently working on, and a custom vocal cool-down.
Reach out to your instructor with any questions you may have on this to be sure you are doing it effectively.
