about Me
I am a Vocal Coach, Director and Teacher who is has a diverse skill set and experience in all areas of the Musical Theatre Arts.
Having graduated from the prestigious Arts Educational School in London with a BA (Hons) in Musical Theatre, I went on to obtain a PGCert in Voice Pedagogy from the University of Wales, Trinity St Davids, and have an MA in Collaborative Theatre Practice at the Staffordshire University. In addition, I am a Estill Figure Proficient (EFP) Certified with Estill Voice international and am in my final year to qualify as an Estill Master Teacher (EMT). With these academic and practical qualifications I have become a desirable facilitator for Musical Theatre and Drama Colleges across the UK and have worked at, Performers College, Jelli Studios and EPA as a freelance faculty member, before becoming the Musical Theatre Programme Lead at Addict Dance Academy, the UK’s largest independent Conservatoire for Performing Arts Training, where I am currently resident.
Before focusing on developing my unique teaching style and approach to educating in an arts environment, I was an experienced and accomplished performer working in Musical tours, plays, radio plays and voiceovers, taking the lead in Pantomimes, headlining cabarets and working on cruise ships across the world. These experiences have placed me perfectly to train the next generation of Performers.
In my current position I have created a brand-new BA (hons) in Musical Theatre, accredited by the University of West London. In addition to leading the course, I also Direct the Musical Productions for the course and deliver the singing & voice classes and curriculum.
In addition to my current teaching post, I still has a select private singing practice of industry professionals and recent graduates, and also works as a freelance Director. I offer a series of one off workshops both online and in person, and have also led Team building & Experience days for many corporate companies. Having an unrivalled passion and commitment to the performing arts for over 30 years, I count myself extremely lucky being able to do what I love every day!
