Vocal Coaching

Deb Coaching Singing

Singing


‘The only thing better than singing is more singing’
-Ella Fitzgerald

Deb believes that anyone can sing with practice and encouragement! At the heart of her singing coaching practice, which spans over 25 years, is a desire to facilitate healthy, sustainable vocal development and a reliable technique. Deb strives to offer an inclusive, safe and playful exploratory learning setting to encourage clients to access their vocal potential.

Technique is informed by Bel Canto, The Estill Model and spoken voice practice. She invites clients to explore their voice with a sense of curiosity and play and with attention to connecting with the lyrics, or ‘sung thoughts’.

She aims to work holistically, inviting clients to explore a body-breath-voice relationship in a dynamic and creative way. She benefits from the support of several workshop organisations including the Chekhov Collective and the Kristin Linklater Voice Centre in Orkney, and regularly teaches in various workshops. 

Deb plays piano to a high standard and is able to sight read and transpose with skill. Whilst she is not a professional accompanist, she is able to support clients with live accompaniment in the coaching setting.
