Every session is carefully crafted to focus entirely on your individual vocal requirements. In our personalised hour-long lessons, I take the time to assess and address your unique needs, whether you’re working on mastering breath control, expanding your vocal range and versatility, refining your tone, or enhancing your agility and flexibility as a performer. No two voices are the same, which is why each lesson is thoughtfully tailored to ensure you receive the most effective training for your goals.
Together, we’ll work on strengthening your technique, building your confidence, and nurturing a healthy, sustainable voice. My holistic approach means that beyond technical proficiency, we also focus on artistry, emotional expression, and stage presence, ensuring that you are fully prepared to perform at your best—whether in the audition room, on stage, or in the studio.

Choosing the right repertoire is a critical part of your development as a performer, and I’m here to guide you through that process with support and insight. Selecting pieces that truly showcase your vocal strengths while aligning with your personal and artistic goals is key to standing out in any performance. In our sessions, we’ll explore a wide range of genres—from musical theatre, to contemporary pop, and rock—ensuring that each piece not only highlights your technical abilities but also meets the style requirements of your project.
I’ll help you dive deep into the nuances of different styles, giving you the tools to interpret each song with authenticity and emotional depth. Whether you’re preparing for auditions, showcases, or a major performance, I’ll coach you on how to bring each song to life with confidence and the ability to transition quickly and safely between genres. My goal is to craft a repertoire that reflects your versatility, while also preparing you for the wide array of vocal challenges the industry demands.

Auditions are a defining moment in your career, and selecting a piece that fits the style and requirements of the show is essential to making a strong impression. In our sessions, we’ll focus on curating the perfect pieces that align with the specific demands of the production you're auditioning for. Together, we’ll analyse the style of the show, ensuring that your audition pieces not only highlight your vocal strengths but also reflect the musical and emotional tone of the production.
We’ll work on mastering the technical aspects of the piece, from pitch and timing to vocal expression, ensuring that your performance feels authentic and aligned with the character or role you’re pursuing.
Additionally, we’ll go beyond just singing the notes—we’ll focus on understanding the story and emotions behind the material, ensuring you deliver a performance that connects with the audience. You’ll leave the session not only with a polished audition piece but also with confidence in your ability to bring the right energy and style to the table, leaving a lasting impression on the panel. Together, we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared to showcase your talent and versatility in a way that’s perfectly suited to the show you're auditioning for.

I prioritise a science-based approach to vocal training, ensuring that every technique you learn is grounded in proven vocal pedagogy and anatomy. Understanding how the voice functions at a physiological level allows us to optimize your vocal performance while safeguarding the health and longevity of your instrument. Whether we’re focusing on breath management, resonance, or vocal range, each exercise is designed with the science of the voice in mind.
Through this evidence-based approach, I teach you how to develop healthy vocal habits that promote sustainability, prevent strain, and support long-term vocal growth. By understanding the mechanics of your voice—how your vocal folds, breath, and alignment work together—you’ll gain the tools to sing with more power, flexibility, and ease. This method not only helps you master challenging pieces but also prepares you for the physical demands of rigorous rehearsals, performances, and a varied repertoire.
Together, we’ll demystify the vocal process and ensure that your technique is rooted in a solid, scientific foundation, giving you the confidence and knowledge to perform at your best while maintaining the health of your voice for years to come.
