PitchIn: Natural-Language Vocal Coaching from Unstructured Community Feedback
arXiv cs.SD0 views
arXiv:2610.17036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective vocal coaching connects performance issues with corrective advice, but recordings paired with expert diagnoses and advice are scarce. Online singing communities provide a potential source of supervision, but observations and advice are scattered across unstructured comments. We introduce PitchIn, audio-language models for natural-language vocal coaching, and the PeerCoach Dataset: 14,445 instruction examples covering Focused QA, Overall Feedback, and Recognition QA. We compare target combinations on Qwen2.5-Omni and train PitchIn on Focused QA and Overall Feedback using Qwen2.5-Omni and MOSS-Music. On VocalCoachBench, the proportion of requested diagnosis-correction pairs matching an expert issue with valid advice rises from 21.3% to 61.0% for Qwen2.5-Omni and from 31.4% to 51.2% for MOSS-Music. Direct training on source comments yields only 19.8% for Qwen2.5-Omni. For Qwen, Focused QA alone reaches 65.6%, but adding Overall Feedback improves alignment with expert reviews and human preference. Both models improve expert-review alignment over pretrained baselines and are significantly preferred for usefulness (92.0% and 67.3%, respectively). Demo examples are available at https://hayeonbang.github.io/PitchIn.
