Your route to high level singing
01. A Secure Technique. The foundation of your singing. Control your voice enough to be able to sing in the way you choose.
Get to the root of your singing weak areas - not always what you think they are.
Sing through your range with fluid ease. Big jumps become an enjoyable challenge rather than an ‘oh no it’s coming’ moment.
Control the beginning and ends of your phrases for a finer, more professional result.
Learn how to recognise anxiety in your voice - how it affects your singing, when it gets triggered, and how to turn it to your advantage.
02. Phrasing. Draw out your musicianship, make decisions around how you choose to use your voice.
Go to the dark side - why ugly can be as meaningful as pretty.
Learn how to float around the pulse or sit convincingly in the groove.
How to use dynamics and vocal quality as your toolkit.
How and when to use brightness and lift, and mellow warmth to bring contrast and shape.
03. Interpretation. Who you are, and what you have to say. This stuff gets more interesting with age.
√ Remembering what each particular song is for, and how we can build on that in our delivery.
√ How the construction of the word itself can help put over your meaning.
√ Shift between your natural energy levels and more unfamiliar aspects
√ When to add and, perhaps more interestingly, when to leave out or take away.

“If you are looking for a singing teacher look no further.
Every session I have with Liz is an absolute masterclass (and we giggle a lot too)!”
-NEIL SELIGMAN. Founder of The Conscious Professional
I used to wonder how the hell artists on a world tour managed to perform night after night!
"Despite running through all the standard vocal warm-up exercises I'd picked up over the years, I've always felt my voice tired too easily and would feel really 'thin' after gigs. I knew there had to be something wrong with my technique, but I had never been able to work out what it was and no other vocal teacher I've had noticed, so I was thrilled when Liz pinpointed the problem within the first few minutes of my first lesson! I'm so happy to be under her wing and relearning how to sing after all these years!"
-LESLEY SHARP. Voiceover Artist. Voice Actor.
"Thank you very much for the lesson today!
I loved it, I can already feel a different energy around my instrument!"
-SANDRA RACHAEL. Musician. Dancer.
