Professional and project work

Vocal coaching for film, recording and English diction

Confidential, project-specific coaching for recording, performance, production, pronunciation, diction and industry work, where agreed in advance.

Professional work is handled separately from lesson bookings. See Professional Services.

English pronunciation for artists singing in a second language

English pronunciation and diction work can be discussed as part of a separately scoped professional project.

Work may include pronunciation, diction, phrasing, delivery and performance, where agreed as part of the project scope.

The work is individual to the artist and the brief. Its aim is to support the performance without removing what makes the artist's voice recognisably their own.

Typically for

  • Recording an English language single, album track or film song
  • A song being released in more than one language
  • Crossover into English speaking markets
  • Screen roles where the performance has to be understood as well as heard

Film and recording sessions

Recording and production-related work is agreed separately from standard coaching. The brief, scope, delivery and fee are discussed before work begins.

Project work may include recording, performance, production, pronunciation, diction or industry support where agreed. It is not an ordinary singing-lesson product and does not guarantee a particular result.
