Singing and spoken vocal studies and performance coaching - Hayes - Private lessons

Singing and spoken vocal studies and performance coaching

From 48 £ /h

1-1 sessions are available in sung voice, spoken voice and performance coaching.

The voice is a vital communicative tool. It is a muscle that can be trained in many ways and for many purposes. A realised voice requires no attention on mechanics so that an individual can realise their performance potential.

My aim is to support the strengthening and toning of the voice so that even in stressful scenarios, such as making a presentation or performing on stage, the individual can focus on delivering an engaging performance rather than having to think about vocal technicalities.

About Me

As a singing teacher I believe in encouraging, supporting and challenging students to achieve their full potential by studying technicalities, focusing on performance and instilling confidence. Not all students go on to follow music professionally, but the skills learnt are transferable to all paths in life.

Education

East 15 Acting School, MA Acting.
Royal Holloway University of London, BMus Honours.

My combination of previous study offers me a unique perspective in teaching. I specialised in vocal performance at Royal Holloway before then going on to study acting at East 15. This allows an approach that first fulfils the necessary vocal abilities of a student, but then elevates the vocal potential by introducing acting and performance skills.

Experience / Qualifications

I am an experienced singer and have received training in classical, jazz, popular, and musical theatre vocal techniques. I am trained in the Estill method and have received training in safeguarding children, youth mental health and psychological first aid. I also have an enhanced DBS check on the update service.

Languages are becoming more and more essential to solidify a good understanding and communication of this world’s constant change. Therefore, Spanish, being one of the most popular language, becomes an important tool. In order to speak it, the class is composed by grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Depending on the time and frequency, the student will be be able to articulate thoughts and write them.
It is vital that the language is spoken, hence, depending on the student’s level, the class will be provided in Spanish and English (swapping when necessary).

I am a classically trained singer from the Royal Academy of Music in London. I primarily work as a performer in opera and I very much enjoy teaching. I can help you with vocal technique, improving your breathing, interpretation, and general performance skills.

I can definitely also help with different genres like pop music, jazz, or gospel. I am looking forward to getting to know you!

I specialise in teaching rap skills and lyric writing.
If you enjoy rap music and would like to learn how to improve your technique then I am here to help you!
I have many years of experience teaching, performing and recording my own music. I sing, rap, write lyrics and have performed with a band in the past.
I can cover different styles including Hip Hop and Grime.
We will also cover lyric writing where I can help you with your flows and technique to create your own original material. There is an option to get custom made beats to help you create your own original tracks.
I really enjoy teaching and like to make the lessons challenging and fun.

I followed a classical training for 13 years in clarinet and in lyrical singing for 5 years. I recently finished a 5-year training at the Paris Conservatory as a singer in contemporary music and I am now graduated from this training (jazz, soul, rnb, metal, rock, musical comedy, French song ...). This year I entered a Master of Music and Performance in London.
I move without problem and listen to the demand for songs to work.

The focus of this class is to help anybody who aims for it to find his or her own vocal power to sing, in accordance with the student's skills and qualities.
My name is Auriane, I live and work between Berlin and Athens. I'am also a professional musician and sing in many languages like Spanish, French, English... My practice is the result of 10 years of musical studies in France.
I also believe that singing is connected to the body and the way we use it, and become more aware of it. I acquired many tools in order to teach you how to sing your favourite songs in your own free way.
I'm convinced that there is not one way to sing "good" : we all have a voice and I am here to help you find it with exercices according to your own needs. With regular practice and a body-based approach, I'am here to guide you on the way to enjoy your voice freely and earn self-confidence and musical enjoyment !
I would be happy to answer any questions or doubts,
Can't wait to meet you !

ABOUT ME:
Art Dip, Opera Dip, BMus (all Honours). I am Canadian, living and teaching from home in West London. I taught voice at the University of Western Ontario and coached at Universities of Toronto, British Columbia and Montreal, and the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto), as well as at Tapestry New Opera, Soundstreams Canada and the Canadian Music Centre. Some of my students have gone on to perform at major opera houses, theatre festivals and professional choirs, while some have gained the confidence to sing a solo at their local church or community event. Some have completed their ABRSM or Trinity exams, or auditioned for conservatoire/university, which I help prepare them for. Seeing my students shine (both on stage and off) fills me with humble pride and fulfillment. We will strive to find the authentic version of your voice, which is important in ANY style of music we sing. You want to sound like YOU, right? This is how an audience connects with you, with music, and what you're trying to communicate. It's the secret behind successful singing and I know the way to get you there.

With over 14 years of teaching experience and opera training, I offer a unique vocal approach that blends precision, technique, and artistic freedom. Having performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, La Scala in Milan, and the Staatsoper Berlin, I’ve worked with some of the most respected artists in both classical and contemporary music. My method empowers singers to develop their voices with confidence, ease, and expressive depth, regardless of their genre.

I coach a select group of successful artists, including one whom I’ve mentored since childhood, guiding her to develop a distinctive vocal identity and achieve international success. With extensive experience in shaping vocal talent at the highest level, I work with singers of all backgrounds—whether in opera, crossover, or contemporary styles—to help them unlock their full potential.

My approach is tailored and empathetic, providing a supportive environment that fosters growth, including for neurodivergent individuals. Whether you’re preparing for professional performances or refining your technique, my goal is to help you discover and express the full range of your voice with confidence and artistry.

Unlock your full potential in communication! Using voice control, body language, and acting techniques, I help you express yourself clearly, connect with others, and build confidence in any situation—whether in conversations, public speaking, or learning new languages.

Singing is an amazing skill to have, and it enriches one's life in so many ways. So if you're a beginner, you'll find how instantly rewarding it is when you see how quickly you develop and improve your ability to sing.

If you're an advanced singer or an industry professional, sometimes we can get lost with our technique and confidence. With the right guidance, it's amazing how quickly these issues can be resolved, and how a voice can be unlocked from certain constraints.
