Aly - Get to know your vocal coach
Hi, I’m Aly, a Guildhall-trained professional singer and vocal coach with over 15 years of teaching experience and an international performing career. Early on, I experienced a difficult vocal break, a voice that moved from quiet to strained, frequent voice loss in noisy rooms and sore throats before performances. I worked with some of the UK’s leading vocal coaches to understand and rebuild my instrument. From this journey, I developed my own 12-week method, Voice Awakening, to help other singers access the freedom I had struggled to find. Voice Awakening takes you on a journey of vocal discovery from the inside out. You’ll learn to feel and understand your instrument while improving your technique, range, resonance, breath control, alignment and musicality. Together, we’ll release unnecessary throat strain, strengthen your chest, head and mixed voice and develop a richer sound that carries without pushing. This approach helps you move from self-conscious singing to greater freedom, confidence and expression. It can also strengthen your speaking voice, presence and ability to take up space in everyday life. I began singing at Salisbury Cathedral at eight, continued at Wells Cathedral and later studied Jazz at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. My career has included touring internationally with The Boxettes, performing with Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra and Submotion Orchestra, and singing backing vocals for Jarvis Cocker. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced singer, I’ll meet you where you are and help you discover your unique sound and develop a voice you genuinely love using..

Singing concepts taught by Aly
The Student and Tutor focused on vocal resonance, exploring how the voice resonates within different body chambers like the head, mask, soft palette, and chest. They extensively practiced ear training exercises, including note and phrase matching, to improve the Student's ear-to-voice coordination. The Tutor assigned a resonance sheet and encouraged the Student to continue exploring vocal placement within songs for homework.
Vocal Resonance: Unlocking Body's Natural Amplifiers
Ear-to-Voice Coordination: Mastering Pitch Accuracy
Internal Vocal Awareness & Strategic Practice
The Student and Tutor conducted an introductory singing session, where the Tutor shared her background and teaching philosophy, and the Student outlined her vocal goals. They explored the concept of vocal resonance and practiced a specific vocal exercise designed to enhance vocal openness. The Student also performed a song, receiving positive feedback and a plan for future lessons focusing on vocal cord training, placement, and breath control.

Larynx Position and Genre Versatility
Vocal Cord Training for Power and Texture
Movement for Vocal Freedom & Expression
Cultivating Internal Voice Awareness
Student and Tutor began their first singing session focusing on breath control and vocal tension release, comparing natural and armored breathing patterns. They practiced physical exercises to encourage abdominal breathing and explored techniques like yawning to relax the throat and larynx while singing a song phrase. For homework, the Tutor will send a workbook with breathing exercises and recorded vocal warm-ups, with a follow-up session to be scheduled.
The Natural vs. Armored Breath
Activating Diaphragmatic (Abdominal) Breathing
Releasing Throat Tension through Yawning & Larynx Drop
Understanding and Addressing Tongue Root Tension
Integrating Breath and Vocal Exercises
The Student and Tutor engaged in an introductory singing lesson, where the Student shared her vocal aspirations and the Tutor outlined a holistic teaching philosophy. They practiced a vocal exercise using physical body support to enhance confidence and power in the higher vocal range. Future lessons will focus on technique, performance, vocal tension release, and breath control.
Initial Vocal Assessment & Natural Instrument
Foundations of Breath Control: 'Dearmoring' the Breath
Body Activation for Higher Register Support
The session focused on fundamental breath support techniques for singing, introducing concepts like 'de-armoring breath' and 'womb breathing.' The Student practiced various physical exercises to release tension and optimize breath intake, transitioning from chest breathing to deep abdominal support. Homework involves practicing workbook exercises, specific vocalizations (like 'gaga'), and mindful breathing in daily life, with a plan to review recorded singing with instrumentals in the next class.

Dearmoring Breath & Releasing Body Tension
Student and Tutor focused on exploring vocal resonance techniques, including head, nasopharynx, and soft palate resonance, along with full-body vibration awareness. They practiced ear training exercises to improve pitch matching and introduced concepts of octaves and harmony. The Student then applied these techniques while singing a song, incorporating physical support for higher notes. The Student plans to find songs in a higher range for head voice practice.
