Louise - Get to know your vocal coach
Have you ever fancied learning to sing? Perhaps you already sing, but could do with a little external input? Maybe you're looking to start a new hobby? If so, then you might want to try singing lessons. I'm offering lessons to anyone aged 10 to 110! From complete beginners to professionals looking for a new set of ears. Please see below for info, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more. 🎼💜 Why you should start singing lessons: • Improve vocal and musical ability. • Develop understanding of your breath and how to control. • Greater understanding of your body and how it works. • Build confidence in your singing, performing ability and in yourself. • Relieve stress - the act of singing releases endorphins, the body's anti-stress chemicals! • Explore other cultures and languages. • Hone acting skills. • Train your ear. • Have fun! A little bit about me... ✨I'm a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and of the Royal Northern College of Music. ✨I specialised in Vocal Pedagogy. ✨I've been singing since I was 12 years old. ✨I am a Welsh speaker. ✨I have experience with teaching students who have hypermobility. ✨My aim as a teacher is to get my students to sing in a healthy, sustainable way, and for them to enjoy it!

Singing concepts taught by Louise
The Student and Tutor addressed challenges with singing a specific song in different vocal registers, focusing on issues of flatness and straining. They worked through various vocal exercises including breath support, SOVTs, resonance, and soft palate engagement to improve vocal technique. These skills were then applied to a transposed version of the song, and the Tutor offered to send a voice note for the Student to remember the correct key for practice.
Vocal Brightness in Lower Register
Lower Abdominal Vocal Support
Internal Pitch Adjustment
"Me" Vowel Resonance & Lip Buzz
Soft Palate Activation & Vocal Space
Strategic Approaches to Octave Jumps
The session focused on vocal warm-ups, breath control, and specific vocal exercises like SOVTS and resonance hums to explore head and chest voice transitions. Student and Tutor then applied these techniques to practice 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' adapting to the student's preferred version and addressing specific pitching challenges. The Tutor mentioned a need to reschedule an upcoming session.
Resonance & Vowel Shaping for Smooth Transitions
Breath Support & SOVTEs (Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises)
Understanding Vocal Registers: Head Voice & Chest Voice
Comprehensive Vocal Warm-ups
Song Application: Pitch Accuracy
Phrasing
and Mental Strategies
The Student and Tutor worked on physical and vocal warm-ups, focusing on advanced breathing techniques by incorporating lower back rib engagement. They then practiced SOVT exercises, resonance techniques for a forward sound, and exercises for mixing chest and head voice. The session concluded with a detailed introduction to belting techniques, using a specific song to demonstrate and practice achieving a 'twangy,' focused sound without straining.
Advanced Breath Management: The Rubber Ring Breath
Belting Fundamentals: Focused Power Without Strain
Seamless Register Transition: The Chest-Head Voice 'Rollercoaster'
Resonance and Mask Placement: The 'Me-me-me' and 'Meow' Exercises
Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises (SOVTs) for Clarity and Support
The Student and Tutor focused on developing vocal technique through physical and vocal warm-ups, advanced breathing visualization, and semi-occluded vocal tract exercises. They worked extensively on resonance and the precise, economic articulation of consonants, applying these skills to improve performance on a specific song. The Tutor encouraged the Student to continue incorporating warm-ups into their singing routines.
Economic Consonants & Tongue Mobility
Emotional & Technical Phrasing with Fluidity
Controlled Consonant Release on High Notes
Vocal Resonance & Soft Palate Elevation
Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract (SOVT) Exercises
Diaphragmatic Breathing: The Rubber Ring Visualization
The Student and Tutor focused on comprehensive vocal warm-ups, including physical stretches and breathing exercises. They practiced various vocal techniques such as SOVTs, octave scales, mask singing, and register blending, applying these skills to the song 'Rewrite the Stars.' They also discussed plans to review the song again in the next session.

Vocal Register Blending (Head & Chest Voice)
Student and Tutor engaged in a singing lesson, beginning with physical and vocal warm-ups to prepare the voice. The session progressed to technical exercises focusing on voice register transitions, vocal resonance, and developing falsetto. The main practical application involved working on the song "Stand By Me," where the Student practiced timing, rhythm, and finding an appropriate key. Homework was assigned to listen to the original recording of "Stand By Me" to internalize the correct rhythmic phrasing.
