The Singing Intensive
Find out what your voice is really capable of.
Private 12-week singing coaching, five minutes from Oxford Circus.
Maybe people have told you that you can sing. Maybe you've always wondered how good you could be with the right help. This is where you find out. Twelve weeks, one plan built around your voice, and a coach who makes sure you actually do the work.
Your first session is your trial. If it isn't right for you, I refund £700.
The offer
Everything you get in 12 weeks.
One coach, one plan, and no gaps between lessons for you to stall in.
Voice Map session
Our first session. I map your range, pitch and breath, record where you're starting, and we agree what you want from the 12 weeks.
Your 12-week voice plan
Built from your Voice Map, around your voice and your songs. You always know what to work on next.
Studio Hour, every week
An hour in person, in Soho. Tuesday to Thursday evenings, or any weekday daytime.
Two Tune-Ups a week
Fifteen minutes online, usually Monday and Friday. Short enough to fit around work.
Five-day check-ins
A message or voice note from me five days a week, and you reply. This is what stops the stalling.
"It's about knowing that I know that you know, and you'd better be doing it."
A direct line to me
Message me whenever something comes up. I aim to reply the same day.
Your week 12 recording
Your chosen song, recorded properly in the studio, played back against week 1. You keep it.
Coleratura, set up for you
My practice app, tuned to your own range and break, with the warm-ups I choose for your plan each week. Try it free.
The First Session Promise
Your first session is your trial. If you decide it isn't right for you, I refund £700 of your first month within 28 days.
The Hear-the-Difference Promise
Come to all 12 studio sessions, check in five days a week, and if you can't hear a difference between week 1 and week 12, I refund everything minus £250 for studio hire.

Is this for you?
I only take four new people a month, so I'm honest about fit.
This is for you if
- You've always wanted to sing, or people have told you that you can, and you've never had the right guidance.
- Your life has just changed shape. A new job, a move to London, a fresh chapter.
- You'll give it 12 weeks, including the check-ins, even when work is busy.
- You can get to Soho once a week.
This isn't for you if
- You want a quick fix without practising between sessions.
- You're after public speaking coaching. This is singing, start to finish.
- You'd rather go at a gentler pace. My standard weekly coaching is the better fit, and I'll tell you if I think so.
Free for everyone

How the 12 weeks run
You'll hear exactly how far you've come.
Your Voice Map
We find your range, your comfortable keys and what's holding you back. I record where you're starting and build your plan from it.
The work
A Studio Hour every week, two Tune-Ups, and check-ins five days a week. Small steps, done consistently, with someone watching.
Your recording
We record your song properly and play it next to week 1. Then I'll show you what the next stage could unlock.
My approach
I wasn't a natural. That's exactly why this works.
I started singing at 17, late by the standards of most people who end up doing this professionally. I didn't have a naturally gifted voice, and I spent years going round in circles before I found real progress. I've sung professionally for most of my adult life since, all over the world, but none of it came easily or automatically.
Singing isn't a gift. It's a set of skills, and I learned every one of them the hard way.
I don't teach one method. I draw on different approaches, because no one system works for every voice, and my job is finding what actually moves yours forward.
And the confidence doesn't stay in the studio. Learn a song properly, sing it well, and do that enough times, and you build real evidence that you can handle being heard.

Questions
What people usually ask first.
Am I too old to start?
No. Most of the people I coach start in their thirties, forties or fifties. I started late myself.
What if I'm tone deaf?
True tone deafness is rare. Most people who think they are just haven't been taught to hear and match pitch yet. That's one of the first things we work on.
I'm nervous about singing in front of you.
Everyone is, at first. The first session is private and relaxed, and I've heard every kind of voice. You don't need to be good yet. That's my job.
Why does it cost more than weekly lessons?
Weekly lessons give you an hour and then leave you alone for six days, which is where most people stall. The Intensive fills those six days: a plan, two Tune-Ups, check-ins five days a week and a direct line to me. I cap it at four new people a month so I can actually do that.
What if I can't make a session?
You can reschedule one session with 48 hours' notice, or if we agree it beforehand.
Is this public speaking coaching?
No. It's singing, start to finish. I also coach speakers, and the confidence often carries over, but this programme is about your singing voice.
Twelve weeks from now, you'll know what your voice can really do.
Apply in five minutes. I read every application myself and reply within 24 hours. If your first session isn't right for you, you get £700 back.
