Caitlin - Get to know your vocal coach
Hi! I'm Caitlin, a singing teacher with West End experience and Grade 8 Distinction in Singing! I have been teaching for 6 years and have an acute understanding of what Musical Theatre casting directors are looking for on the big stage! Whether you're auditioning for your local show, or London's West End, I know every trick in the book to get you heard in an audition room. My specialties include vocal technique training and repertoire building for all age groups and vocal types. I customize lessons to suit your needs and ability, while pushing you to become the best performer you can be. Growth is never easy, but with the correct teacher and some perseverance, you will be amazed at what you can achieve! Together, we will build your confidence and get to know your voice, and what it needs. We will go through your audition repertoire and streamline it to be the strongest it can possibly be for your vocal type. We will find the songs that suit you, the character you wish to play, and your voice, and we will work on your technique to ensure you perform these songs to the best possible standard. I know all the do's and don'ts that make a casting director prick up their ears and together we can make your theatre dreams a reality!
