Voice, Speech & Singing

I am a voice, speech and singing teacher with thirty-five years’ experience, based in Teddington. I work with adults and children on voice, speech, singing and communication skills.

We all have a voice, but few of us have learned to inhabit it fully. My goal as a teacher is to help you free your voice so it responds naturally and spontaneously to your thoughts, feelings and imagination. In this way, your voice becomes an honest expression of you, rather than simply a means of communication.

To do this, I use a range of exercises from theatre voice-training, mindfulness and Alexander Technique. As someone who stammered, and still does on occasion, I also bring personal insight and empathy to my lessons.

My practice is open to anyone interested in developing their voice for speech or singing. As well as actors and singers, my pupils over the years have included bankers, accountants, lawyers and barristers, psychotherapists, academics, journalists and writers, as well as young people preparing for school, university or job interviews.

I also prepare students for ABRSM graded singing exams and diplomas.

What can I expect from taking lessons?

During the first lesson we will talk about your voice and why you would like to work on it. Based on our talk, I will be able suggest ways to help you release unnecessary tension, find a relaxed, balanced posture and increase breath capacity, as well as develop resonance, projection, pitch range, flexibility, and clarity.

How long will it take to feel a difference?

The amount of time needed to bring lasting improvements to your voice depends very much on the amount of time you are prepared to practise each day. Small adjustments to posture, especially the balance of the head and neck, as well as a deeper awareness of breathing, can make a difference very quickly. Articulation can improve within a few weeks, as the muscles and movements involved are very small.

Daily practice brings results sooner, of course. But with a few simple exercises which can easily be practised in as little as ten to fifteen minutes, you can expect to feel a difference within about four to six weeks.
