PROFESSIONAL VOCAL COACHING

About me

Voice has always been my passion. I grew up sitting in on my mother’s singing lessons and it felt like being part of a magic world.

Performing from the age of 10 in musicals and plays, I went to theatre workshops at Carclew, the Festival Theatre and the Australian Dance Theatre.

I studied acting at CPA and jazz vocals at Adelaide University before going to Amsterdam. I worked as a jazz singer and actor in Europe and found my true passion was coaching singers and giving vocal training.

I sought out the world’s best vocal trainers. I trained with Seth Riggs and became a certified Speech Level Singing vocal trainer in 1993. Most of my training was via Skype. I also went to France and Italy several times for teacher training workshops.

After living in Amsterdam for thirty years, I have returned home to be with family. I still have clients all over the world and teach privately in Adelaide.
