I am a singer songwriter and vocal coach living and working in Somerset, I offer a full range of vocal coaching and singing lessons for all abilities and requirements using up to date techniques and teaching modules.
Your first 45 minutes is half price, so telephone (01935 88 10 55) to arrange your first singing lesson or vocal coaching session.
Tutoring is available from my home studio.
I aim to look at the type of vocal training you require, taking all aspects into account, ie, genre, you personal vocal range, quality and style, and your aims and goals.
I will try to always walk one step ahead of you on the path you want to take to provide you with a solid foundation for you to follow, giving you the confidence to go it alone when you feel you are ready.
In my career I have come across an abundance of people who have had classical vocal training and the in trying to pursue a career in pop music have been told that their training has 'ruined' them and they had learnt 'bad habits', and visa versa...I want you to sing your way!
I am yet to come across a musician who does not lack some kind of confidence or self belief. My confidence has been tested continuously throughout my career so far, and self belief has seemed almost unobtainable at times.
Whether you are looking for support and you just need that extra push, or if you have all the belief in the world but just can't bare to stand up in public you are not alone. 99% of the time, something can be done about it.
This is something that I feel is priceless.
The times that I have wished for someone to give me the constructive criticism I need, to be honest with their opinions and to give me their true view on my singing.
I do not wish to be the next 'Simon Cowell', I believe that you can be honest without being rude. That said, I will promise to always be honest and give my true opinion at all times.
Everyone has limitations, but through vocal coaching you will find that your limits can be stretched. If there are notes that you can't quite reach or if you have pitch problems making it difficult for you to find the right note, there are simple exercises that will help you to broaden your vocal range and control the notes that you struggle with. I aim to help you find and reach the natural limitations of your vocal ability.
Vocal coaching can not only help singers perform to a higher standard but any vocal performance can be improved with the use of simple breathing and projection techniques.
Recording artists are not required to project their voices quite so much and I believe that it is important to learn to control your voice so that you can achieve different tones and styles from your vocals, moulding your voice to get the best from each vocal performance.
I have a home studio and can help you to learn different skills such as mic technique and even aid you in the use of home recording software.
Also help with stage presence, introducing your songs and gripping the crowd, making you performance not just vocally but also visually believable.
I love to write but I know how hard it can be to have confidence in your work when you are yet to introduce it to the world, I am more than happy to give my honest and unbiased opinions on your songs. I also know that getting started on finding an avenue to take to get your songs heard is very difficult and somewhat confusing at times, I have researched this subject vastly and am happy to help to guide you in the right direction wherever possible.
Or if you simply want someone to collaborate with, someone with a fresh take on your work and help with visions of where to take it next. Or even just a good ol' jam session!
