A vocal coach who has worked to strengthen the pipes of celebrities like Renée Zellweger and John Travolta is helping train women in the GTA in a new series for the W Network, debuting this July.

Elaine Overholt, who has an impressive resume and has even helped train a few Oscar winners for their roles in musicals like Chicago, puts her skills to the test in Big Voice, a 30-minute series produced by W Network and Toronto-based Lenz Entertainment. Each week a team of experts – stylists, choreographers, photographers – helps a different woman who aspires to sing on the stage of a nightclub or to sing a duet with a celebrity with their own performance makeover.

The 13-episode series airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m., with a four-episode premiere on July 13. The target age demo is 25- to 54-year olds.
