Where I work
I work from my home in Teddington, South-West London, which is within easy reach of Richmond (Bus R68, 33), and Kingston (Bus 281, 285), and on a direct line from London Waterloo (approximately 30 minutes).
My approach
My aim as a teacher, is to help you develop a voice which responds naturally and spontaneously to your thoughts, feelings, and imagination and, if you are a performer, the technical and emotional demands of your speeches or songs.
My approach is based on a balance between the physiological and anatomical aspects of producing the voice and the imaginative, creative process involved in working with music, text, language, and communication. I use a range of exercises taken from theatre-based voice training, speech therapy and Alexander Technique, as well as yoga.
What can I expect from taking lessons?
During the first lesson we will talk about your voice and what you would like to achieve through vocal work. Based on our talk, I will be able suggest exercises 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 practice each day. Simple adjustments to posture, especially the balance of the head and neck, as well as a deeper awareness of breathing, can make a marked difference very quickly. And articulation can improve within a couple of weeks, as the muscles and movements involved are very small.
Daily practice will, of course, bring results sooner. But with a simple exercise routine which can easily be practised in as little as 15 to 20 minutes, you can expect to feel a tangible difference within about four to six weeks. Regular lessons are important at the beginning, though, in order for the work to settle and develop.
