Vocal technique for creative freedom
Great singers are totally immersed in what they do
My teaching method is based on a unique blend of vocal pedagogies, body-work and performance-based exercises that create ‘fully immersive’ singing, highlighting the natural voice and engaging emotional expression from the ‘core’.
Central to this is the use of the whole self - to create an embodied 'connection' with the voice that has a powerful sense of presence.
Tailored to your individual needs
Drawing on a diverse and extensive 'toolbox', rather than a single methodology, I create highly customised one-to-one solutions for each person.
I am also a qualified ‘Speech Level Singing’ instructor, the world renowned method used by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Annie Lennox, and over 135 Grammy Award winners.
Technical excellence - free your voice
We will establish a solid, seamless 'functional' foundation for your voice using exercises that investigate, define and shape vowel sounds, optimise vocal cord function, increase resonance and efficiently harness the use of the breath.
We will overcome any breaks, inconsistencies or areas of weakness, fine-tune pitching, expand range and improve flexibility and fluidity, allowing you to become the singer you want to be.
‘Laura’s focus is amazing and her listening skills don’t miss a thing. She can spot every weakness and tailor exercises to improve each one’ Carole Phillips, Singer
Your vocal artistry
As we develop and master your technical vocal capabilities, we will undertake a personal exploration of songs. We will discover how lyrics and melody reveal and expand the expressive textural and tonal qualities of your voice, with a deep dive into how ‘story’ and emotion affect language and sound.
This connection with your voice plugs you into your creative source and direction. It literally ‘gives voice’ to your deepest sense of self.
A unique mind-body-voice methodology
As a qualified holistic Alexander Technique practitioner, I have developed a unique 'mind-body' approach to singing that expands thinking and imaginative inquiry whilst increasing physical awareness, delivering strong vocal expression through the entire body from the ground up.
From this you will discover a unified voice that emanates from your ‘core,’ producing a richer voice and more authentic, authoritative vocal performances.
Connecting voice to the physical and an open exploratory mindset leads to rapid artistic growth and transformation.
‘Laura has the most phenomenal and sensitive ear. She is an expert on the voice and its relationship with the body. Through her thoughtful feedback and exercises I’ve found a more authentic voice and a way of expressing myself that I will keep for the rest of my life. I feel very lucky to have found Laura.’
