Find Your Authentic Voice
Vocal coaching for singers, performers, and aspiring artists who want greater confidence, vocal strength, freedom, and expression.
Whether you're preparing for performances, building confidence, developing technique, or reconnecting with your voice, my coaching combines practical vocal training with a supportive, holistic approach.
Together we'll develop vocal strength, improve technique, release tension, and help you sing with greater ease, confidence, and authenticity.
I help people step up to the mic. Not by changing who they are, but by helping them discover the confidence, voice and presence they already possess.
About Me
For many years I've performed professionally across a wide range of musical styles including blues, rock, soul, country, jazz and choral music.
I've sung in intimate acoustic venues, theatre settings, and large festival stages, giving me first-hand experience of the challenges singers face in different performance environments.
My coaching draws on this real-world performance experience alongside a holistic understanding of voice development. I use a blend of:
-
Vocal strengthening exercises
-
Breath and technique work
-
Somatic awareness practices
-
Performance mentoring
-
Confidence-building strategies
My aim is not to create a copy of another singer, but to help you discover and develop your own authentic voice.

My Approach
A Whole-Person Approach to Vocal Development
Many singers focus only on technique. While technique matters, the voice is deeply connected to the body, emotions, confidence, and self-expression.
My coaching integrates three key areas:
Strengthen
Build healthy vocal technique, stamina, range, breath control, and vocal resilience.
Connect
Use somatic awareness to release unnecessary tension and improve vocal freedom.
Express
Develop confidence, performance skills, artistry, and authentic communication.
Coaching is suitable for:
✔ Beginner singers
✔ Experienced performers
✔ Singer-songwriters
✔ Choir members
✔ Musicians preparing for auditions
✔ Performers returning to singing after a break
✔ Anyone wanting greater confidence with their voice

I've been playing bass for years quite confidently, and in my working life could present to hundreds of people. Put a mike in front of me to sing and my confidence would crumble. Somehow my voice didn't do what I had in my head if not heart. I didn't have confidence, my range seemed pathetic and I'd long given up. But then I saw what Gemma achieved with another vocalist. So with expectations lower than a snakes belly I enrolled with Gemma. The first few lessons did identify a few of my shortcomings but Gemma pushed me along gently. Eight weeks in, Im finding a voice I never knew I had and my confidence has grown. I know I will be singing live and lead on some songs going forward instead of just the odd backing vocal as in the past. Im so grateful to Gemma for helping me find a voice at long last !

Its quite difficult to put into words, the significant impact Gemma’s vocal coaching has had on me. I feel so much more confident, capable and ‘in tune’ with the singer I want to be. I know my capability and self-belief has expanded rapidly in the last 2 months or working with her. I have moved from being someone who sings - to being a singer! Gemma also has a wonderful warmth of character and a beautiful philosophy behind everything she does - as well as having a great voice. What a find! I would say to anyone … if you’re thinking about singing, improving your control, technique, confidence or anything else to do with your voice, go and have your first session with Gemma and see how you feel afterwards ... you’ll be back for more without question. Thank you Gemma x
