Todd - Get to know your vocal coach
Hello! My name is Todd Slaughter and I have spent my time since graduating with a Bachelor of Honours degree in Musical Theatre at The London College of Music as a professional Vocalist and Singing teacher. Whether I have been singing on cruise ships, in Europe, in London or in America, I've been fortunate enough to work in some of the most amazing places and sing with some of the most incredible people. As a Vocal Coach I like to work flexibly with my students. Looking at issues that arise along your journey, as well as focusing on how your voice works and why it makes the amazing sounds that it does. Working collaboratively with you, we'll get you to the end goal that you wish to achieve. That could be pitching control, releasing that constriction or just singing your favourite songs like your favourite artists, I'm here to help you achieve your goals and work alongside you on your personal vocal journey!

Singing lessons highlights
In my personalised tutoring approach, I focus on building confidence, musicality and proper breathing techniques through engaging and patient lessons. I specialise in understanding the anatomy of the voice; what it does and why it does it, allowing you to have full knowledge and control of your personal instrument. To enhance your online learning, I work with programmes such as Google meet, allowing us to work in real time together. By following a tailored curriculum I ensure each student reviewed a comprehensive education in vocal techniques and performance skills. I strive in creating a supportive environment where students can develop their own unique style and leading you toward success in the art of singing. My classes are flexible and work for YOU, so, should something arise that we need to work on, we will, with your education at the forefront of our sessions.
