A MAN who admits he’s tone deaf is set to appear on a television singing contest on Sunday.

Former Arborfield resident Matt Vaughan will be seen taking part in the ITV show Change Your Tune, a chance for musically challenged singers to be transformed into singing pros.

Mr Vaughan is one of five terrible singers who will be aiming to improve their voices before performing in front of an audience.

Thanks to a special time lapse gimmick, TV viewers get to see
the transformation from awful singer to polished performer in an instant.

And, harking back to the days of the Opportunity Knocks clapometer, the studio audience score each performance and the level of improvement, ultimately deciding who has Changed Their Tune the most.

If successful, Mr Vaughan could win £10,000.

Cars could be banned from school road in Arborfield.

It’s not the first time Mr Vaughan has been behind a microphone: a broadcaster and producer at BBC Radio Berkshire, he is also a vlogger (video blogger) for The Diet Journey, which details his challenge to lose weight.

Mr Vaughan said: “I have always wanted to be able to sing, but have never found the time, with having a 20-month-old, working full-time and vlogging takes up majority of my waking hours, so this was the perfect opportunity to have coaching from some of the industry’s best singing teachers to see if they could change my speak singing voice into something musical in which people could actually tell wheat I am trying to sing.

“Since somehow finding the time to travel to London for singing lessons, I have now relocated this to going to the gym to help my fitness ambitions.”
