VOCAL COACHING

I am a Cardiff based vocal coach with over 20 years of experience, working with leading figures in the industry including Line Hilton, Joshua Alamu, Guy Babusek, and Carrie Grant.

Through Melody Matters, I coach everyone from complete beginners to Grammy Award winning artists across the UK, Europe, the United States, South America, and Australia.

My approach is grounded in vocal pedagogy and scientific understanding of the voice. Every technique I teach is based on vocal anatomy, not guesswork. This is the difference between a voice that feels inconsistent and one that is reliable, controlled, and confident.

Most singers experience good days and bad days. This is not random. It is technical. Without a clear understanding of how the voice functions, consistency is impossible.

I do not use or teach the traditional ideas of head voice and chest voice. These are descriptive concepts, not physical mechanisms. Instead, we focus on what is actually happening within the larynx and how the voice is being coordinated.

We work specifically with two key muscle groups, the Cricothyroid and the Thyroarytenoid. These muscles govern pitch and vocal balance. Once understood, it becomes clear that singing is not about up or down, but about coordination and direction.

This forms the foundation of a balanced, tension free voice. It is often referred to as low larynx technique, a method widely used by modern professional singers and one I specialise in.

Progress comes from clear instruction and consistent practice. My job is to make that process as direct and effective as possible.

If you would like to improve your voice, you can book a free 45 minute consultation to discuss your goals and how we can work together.

I work with both beginners and professional singers. Please note that I do not coach anyone under the age of 16, and I do not offer 30 minute sessions.
