LESSONS

Whether you’re interested in performing professionally, a performer who wants to brush up on your technique or simply have some stagey fun, my lessons are built and based around your voice, goals and needs. All abilities are welcome. All my lessons are online 1-1 and are your time, so I always work on the area in which you’d like to improve. My lessons are 30 or 50 minutes. We begin with a gentle physical and vocal warm up led by me, and then I ask you to bring a song that you enjoy singing (it can be any genre) so I can hear the voice I’m working with. We then tailor the sessions towards your specific goals and use the sessions to work on helping you find vocal freedom! I can help with posture, technique, tone, breathing, placement, acting through song and general confidence. All of this in a safe, fun and stress free enviornment.

I'm passionate about teaching what I've learnt during my professional career, and I guarantee I can help to make you feel more confident, improved and more importantly to have some fun whatever your age or ability.

Singing Technique

I help students achieve their full potential by using the Vocal Balance technique, an approach widely taught across leading drama schools, and a technique I rely on as a professional performer to achieve my own vocal goals. This industry wide popular technique is a safe, decluttered and a proven way to simply make singing feel easier! As someone whose lived experience is years of training, auditioning and performing in Musical Theatre (which requires vocal chameleons... more on that in my lessons!), I provide a personalised approach focused on sustaining a dynamic range, tonal clarity, artistic freedom, breath control, pitch accuracy, resonance, flexibility, tone and vocal health. Whether you’re a complete beginner looking to develop your voice, or an experienced singer working to refine your technique, my singing lessons can help you get vocal freedom! All in a safe and fun way! 

Confidence Building

My lessons are focused on helping you grow in confidence and become the best singer you can be. Your authentic sound should be celebrated! I pride myself on how encouraging my lessons are as that way singers will find their vocal freedom! My goal is to provide you with a fun, safe and supportive environment so you can build your skills and grow as a performer. We all have that inner critic as singers - but I guarantee you will leave the lesson feeling empowered! 

Repertoire Building

My Singing Lessons are designed to help you explore all music genres and improve your versatility, a key asset to being a performer. My students have worked on many genres of music such as pop, rock, folk, jazz, Musical Theatre, classical and Motown. I offer guidance on repertoire building and we'll work together to find the perfect song for you. Whether it is for a specific audition or occasion, with my years of experience as a performer, I have developed an extensive knowledge of repertoire that ranges from the golden age, to pop/rock & contemporary Musical Theatre. The industry is ever evolving and I can help you fill your rep folder with the perfect songs that are built around you.

Industry Advice

Whether you have some questions about what it's like to be working as a performer who has to sustain a healthy voice for 8 shows a week, or have something on your mind about progression and how to excel in the industry, I offer a safe space to discuss your questions and concerns and help you make informed decisions about your future. Students have benefited from discussing agent advice, performer's routines, auditions to which drama school they should attend. We can use the time to talk about anything you need!

Acting Through Song

Musical Theatre is not just about singing technique. My approach to songs also comes from an actor's perspective as that is my lived experience. As story tellers we must also connect with the song emotionally and tell that story through the text to our audiences. With a deep understanding of both the technical and expressive aspects of singing, I also emphasise the importance of character work, intentions and text, and using your voice as a tool for telling stories and conveying emotion. 

Audition Preperation / Technique

Auditions and assessments can be extremely daunting - I get it, I've done it! I I still continue to audition as a performer in the industry, and with this experience I can offer my expertise in audition preparation and technique. I understand how important it is to be prepared and therefore feel empowered on the day of an audition. That's why I work with my students to develop tools that will help them control their nerves, feel their most prepared and perform to the best of their abilities. Whether you're preparing for a school play, a drama school /college / university audition, or a professional audition in the industry, I'm here to help.

Drama School Preperation
 

It can be really scary when trying to audition and chose which university, course or Drama School is best for you. I offer expert advise on what the criteria is for those schools and how best to achieve your goal of securing a place. We work intensely on making sure you feel at your best for the day of the audition and give you the tools needed to perform the material required from you and how to stand out to the panel. I am so proud to say my students have a 100% success rate.
