About Me
I am a singer and avid speaker (my narrative is verbose!) and I grew up singing in a variety of contexts, but found that I was constantly losing my voice. My problem was, that “I didn’t know, what I didn’t know” and I thought that losing my voice constantly was normal.
The good news is; it’s not. If you are exercising healthy voice function, your voice should have longevity.
As a teenager I spent some time with a speech pathologist who started me on my way to understanding the ins and outs of healthy vocal production, and then I had some singing lessons with a vocalist who also had her masters in speech pathology, and then decided I needed to know more, so enrolled at the QLD Conservatorium of Music. Here I completed my Masters in Music studies, majoring in Vocal Performance and Vocal Pedagogy. I learned what I needed to know to ensure I could be the best and most healthy singer (and speaker) I could be, and how to pass this knowledge on to others to ensure they could do the same.
I trained in contemporary singing and my training in pedagogy gave me a physiological grounding in how our vocal anatomy works and how to ensure best vocal practice.
I am available for private and group singing lessons and general vocal coaching and workshops. Alongside working with contemporary singers I have a particular interest in working with anyone who is in a profession where they speak for long periods of time and struggle with voice loss, appropriate volume, tone, expression and confidence.
To back up my experience, I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Management and a Bachelor Degree in Arts majoring in Psychology and Music. I also possess a Postgraduate Diploma in Vocal Performance and an Advanced Masters Degree in Vocal Pedagogy.
I am available for both teaching and group workshop engagements.
