Together they will transform the voices of six of the UK and Ireland’s worst singers.

Over three months, the ENO’s world class vocal coaches will teach them everything from vocal technique to stage presence and set them various challenges.

Along the way a few famous faces will lend a helping hand.

Phil Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts and Entertainment, said: “If I were to sing to you you’d be covering your ears, running for the hills, begging me to PLEASE STOP.

“So when the brilliant people at the English National Opera told me they could get anyone, and they stressed anyone, singing tunefully so your ears didn’t bleed we had to take them up on the challenge to turn Britain’s tone deaf into singers.

“We firmly believe that participation in the arts is as important as watching and enjoying and we can’t wait to see how this experiment in joining-in unfolds.”

Anyone Can Sing will air on Sky Arts later this year.
