Performance Coaching for Singers & Musicians: Learn to be more confident, present, and connected on stage.

From 56 £ /h

Do you feel like you know your music, but something changes when you step on stage? My coaching focuses on helping you get out of your head and make stronger, more specific choices in performance.

I use an action-based approach drawn from acting technique and my research into how singers can use the score as a tool for dramatic interpretation. Rather than telling you to simply “feel” the music or try to become more emotional, we work with clear objectives, action verbs, physical choices, text, breath, and musical phrasing to give you something concrete to do in performance.

We might work on:

- Making a song or aria more dramatically specific
- Finding playable actions and objectives in the text
- Connecting physicality and movement to the music
- Getting out of your head and reducing performance anxiety
- Breaking down a character, scene, or monologue
- Making musical and dramatic choices feel more natural and spontaneous
- Preparing for auditions, recitals, competitions, or performances

I work with singers and other musicians at different levels, and I tailor each session to what you are currently working on. You can bring a song, aria, monologue, audition material, or a performance problem you want to work through.

My goal is not to give you a formula for performing. It is to give you practical tools that help you make your own choices and feel more free on stage.

About Me

I’m a Canadian soprano and performer with a background in singing, acting, directing, and performance training. Through my own training and professional experience, I became interested in how practical acting techniques can help musicians feel more confident, present, and connected on stage

During my Master’s in Classical Voice at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag, I developed my own approach to acting for musicians, focusing on action, intention, connection, and practical exercises that can be applied directly to performance.

I now work with singers and musicians who want to get out of their heads, make stronger choices, and feel more comfortable communicating on stage.
