Joel - Get to know your vocal coach
Hi! I’m Joel, a vocal tutor covering classical, musical theatre, rock and jazz. I hold a Grade 8 Distinction in Classical Vocals, giving a strong technical foundation, but I believe singing should never be limited to one style. I work across rock and alternative tones, and bring in jazz phrasing, freedom, and expression to help singers sound more natural and authentic. With a background in theatre, I focus on storytelling, performance, and confidence, helping you hit more than just “right notes”. If you feel stuck sounding careful or controlled, we can unlock a more expressive, personal voice together. I love working with all ages and experience levels, from complete beginners finding their voice for the first time, to more advanced singers refining technique, style, and performance skills. My approach is always tailored to the individual, so every student feels supported and challenged in the right way. I’m also passionate about modern sound tech and composing, using production-aware thinking to help you understand how your voice translates in real performance spaces, or in the studio. Whether you’re building confidence, preparing for exams, or just want to enjoy singing more, I’ll help you become the best version of your voice. Lets make your voice, YOUR voice.
