DISCOVER YOUR VOICE
Lessons are a partnership designed to explore and discover your voice in a safe and encouraging way, without pressure or judgement.
Exercises are tailored to the exact details and nuances of your unique voice and to your personal aims and objectives.
As well as vocal technique, Laura will lead you through key elements of song artistry - such as styling, phrasing, melody and lyrical interpretation.

“I’d been searching to find my own voice as a singer, poet and spoken word performer. With Laura’s help I’ve been able to join up multiple creative aspects, through breath work and practising scales. The lessons have positively impacted on how I create poetry and my writing process, and I have been getting compliments on my voice: people have told me they could listen to me for hours! I’m very grateful for Laura’s approach and her ability to tap into my inner emotions and help me lean into the unknown. I’ve really appreciated her advice and guidance especially when I am performing on stage to tackle nerves and anxiety. I’ve been noticing how much more stable and calm I feel when I perform, and how mistakes no longer throw me off - in fact I can now use them as a way to build on my performance - by embracing them. I’m looking forward to explore how my vocals continue to develop!”
