ALL THINGS VOICE
Why have lessons with me?
Firstly, I truly love to teach, and I love to be there for those 'penny drop' moments. Those times when the people you are working with really get something. People talk about the buzz that you get performing, but I would argue that watching somebody achieve something they didn't think was possible might beat it!
​
Your vocal instrument is yours and yours alone and is unlike anyone else's. That is the beauty in it. With vocal coaching you can unlock your potential, build confidence AND ability and really enjoy using your voice. To quote the renowned voice researcher Jo Estill, 'everyone has a beautiful voice'.
​
Whether you are looking to build range, build your portfolio, sing louder, recover from vocal injury, fully understand your full vocal capabilities, take the plunge to sing professionally or to just discover/rediscover your love of singing - I can help.
Voice training can help you to improve your vocal technique allowing you to sing and speak in a healthy efficient way, avoiding strain. Along the way you will be building confidence by fully understanding how you are making the sounds you want to make & developing your performance skills.
Just some of the things that can be covered in your lessons are;
Exams - ABRSM, LCM & Trinity exams
Auditions - general, drama school, music college, scholarship
Performance coaching, microphone technique & stage fright
Estill - Individual coaching, practice groups & certified figures preparation figures
Songwriting & help with harmony
Recording - I have a recording set up at my home which students are welcome to use
I’d always felt like my vocal performances were very hit or miss. My performances varied in vocal ability and Tara helped get that under control. I’d never thought about warming up my vocals or techniques for the voice, but Tara helped me understand to treat it like any other part of the body as if I were training in the gym! I now use these vocal warm ups and practise these techniques before all my shows and it’s given me so much more confidence as a performer.
