Hi I’m Jules and this is what you can expect from vocal coaching with me.

The most important thing you need to know is that we’ll be developing your voice. We’ll do this through a mix of functional training and enhancing your vocal freedom.

Functional training is about the health and ease of your voice.

Vocal freedom is about giving you a choice of vocal qualities in any given moment so that you can sing the way you want to not just by default.

What does this look like in reality?

In the first few sessions we’ll go through some vocal assessments.

These are specific movements and sounds for me to assess the function of your voice. Don’t worry, they are diagnostic tools for me not tests for you. Think of it like going to a physio.

These assessments help me understand what we might need to focus on and what might work best with your voice so I can make a plan for your sessions.

Our sessions will be song focused.

I really don’t believe in exercises for the sake of it. The joy of singing is through song! We’ll likely do some exercises but they’ll be designed to get you singing those trickier melodies with more ease and expression.

Our sessions will be collaborative.

I use process of continuous two-way feedback because I find it works best if we incorporate both what I’m hearing and seeing with what you’re hearing and, most importantly, what you're feeling.

Vocal coaching isn’t about me telling you what to do but rather guiding you in your own learning experience. This is more effective in the short term and much more sustainable in the long run.

Then as we go into regular sessions, we’ll use a couple of extra aids which I find students really value.

We’ll create a shared Spotify playlist so we can build a bank of songs together that you like and ones I think might suit you. So no more wasting time in sessions wondering what to sing!

And lastly, at the end of each session, you’ll get recordings - both video and audio.

You don’t have to take notes or remember everything we did in the session because you’ll always have the recording to refer back to.

You can discover how your felt experience of singing compares with how it sounds more objectively which is an important part of your learning process.

So there you go. That’s what you can expect for vocal coaching with me.

Don’t worry if it seems like a lot to take in right now. That’s why I offer a free consultation so you can find out for yourself!

Let’s get singing!
