Hello, I'm Rachel!
Vocal Coach, Singing Teacher, Certified Advanced Modern Vocal Training Vocal Coach, Vocal Health First Aider
I have been working with a vast range of singer & vocalists, since first beginning teaching in early 2016. With a wide-range of experience in different genres - from working with pop and rock singers to working extensively with musical theatre performers auditioning (and with a brilliant track record of getting accepted) for leading theatre schools based in the UK!
As a vocal coach, I believe it is vital to stay educated and up to date with the latest science developments and research. I am a fully certified Advanced Modern Vocal Training vocal coach and accredited Vocal Health First Aider. I am very passionate about continuing my studies and I continue to work with both of these organisations to ensure I am always up to date with the latest voice research, ensuring the most informed options and possibilities for my clients.
