1-2-1 Vocal Coaching
Take the first step towards building your confidence & finding your voice
Did you ever ask yourself what your life would look like if you had more confidence?
​
With me, your goals and self-esteem are my #1 priority.
It’s estimated that roughly 85% of people worldwide have low self-esteem. This can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and have a dramatic impact on our personal and professional lives.
To combat this, we must take special care of ourselves and I believe that working towards finding our individual voices is a fantastic way to do so. Working on a creative skill cultivates greater emotional health and builds our confidence as we improve.
I’m the right tutor for you if:
✨ You’re ready to take action to build your confidence
✨ You want to overcome fears around performing
✨ You want to expand the range of notes you can sing
✨ You want to discover your voice
✨ You want to improve your vocal tone
✨ You want to stabilise and strengthen your voice
✨ You want tools to manage anxiety and become a better singer through work on breathing techniques
✨ You DON’T want to spend hours on scales or music theory
I wasn’t born a naturally good singer and have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I’m now a professional singer and singing coach, signed to a record label with over 3 million streams and although I still experience anxiety, I’m far better equipped to cope with it thanks in part to breathing techniques. It’s safe to say, I know how impactful the right guidance can be.
You can see it in the reviews from my students too - through my coaching, confidence blossoms alongside the voice.
Make this the turning point of your life.
Why not take the first step to building your self-esteem and sign up for your first lesson now?
You deserve to nurture yourself!
