1-to-1 Vocal Coaching

Unlock Your Vocal Potential

Whether you're starting your journey, preparing for a career in performance, or rebuilding after vocal challenges, you deserve expert guidance tailored to your voice.

I'm Owen — a vocal coach, professional performer, and vocal health specialist with a wealth of high-level experience to help you elevate your voice use. Alongside my private teaching practice, I perform internationally with award-winning vocal ensemble The Swingles, and regularly lead workshops at major festivals and institutions across Europe.

My coaching is rooted in both practical experience and evidence-based technique, helping singers of all levels build confidence, develop versatility, and use their voices with freedom and sustainability. From classical foundations to contemporary edge, each session is shaped around your individual goals and identity as an artist.

Explore the coaching options below, or get in touch to arrange a personalised plan — I’m always happy to tailor sessions to meet your needs.

What I Offer

    Beginner Singing Lessons

    A welcoming, structured space to explore your voice, experiment with new things and grow in confidence.

    Whether you’ve never sung before or you’re returning after a long break, these lessons are designed to build a strong, healthy foundation while working towards your singing goals. Together we’ll explore the basics of breath support, pitch accuracy, tone quality, and ease of vocal production — always at your pace, and always judgement-free. There’s no such thing as a stupid question here!

    My goal is to help you build healthy habits from day one, so your voice feels more free and more “you” with every session. Whether you want to join a choir, sing at home, or just stop feeling nervous in front of others, I’ll meet you exactly where you are and support you as you grow.

    You'll leave each session with practical tools to help you develop your voice and enjoy singing more fully.

    Perfect for: complete beginners, nervous singers, hobbyists, or anyone looking to reconnect with their voice and gain lasting vocal confidence

    Emerging Artist Coaching

    Advanced vocal training and artistic development for singers at the start of their professional journey.

    If you're a recent graduate, auditioning regularly, singing in vocal groups, or just stepping into the music world with big goals — this coaching is designed to give you the edge. Together we’ll work on refining your technique, building vocal stamina, mastering stylistic range, and addressing performance habits that may be holding you back.

    Sessions are shaped around your personal goals: preparing material for auditions or gigs, exploring new genres, improving interpretation, or developing your identity as a singer. With a background in professional ensemble singing and cross-genre work, I bring a wealth of experience and understanding for you to draw upon as you navigate the start of your performing career.

    Perfect for: early-career singers, drama school graduates, university a cappella alumni, and crossover vocalists looking for reliable, artist-focused support.

  • Singer struggling with their vocal health

    Vocal Health & Rehabilitation

    Empathetic, personalised support for singers rebuilding vocal confidence.

    As a singer who’s been through my own journey of vocal burnout and rehabilitation, I understand first-hand how isolating and frustrating it can be when your voice isn’t doing what you want it to. If your voice feels unreliable, strained, or simply not how it used to be — you're not alone, and you're not beyond help.

    I combine my lived experience with an MA in Vocal Studies (focused on Vocal Health) to offer a safe, judgement-free space to explore what’s going on with your voice and build it back gradually.

    Each session begins with a conversation and vocal assessment, followed by a customised plan designed to support healthy, sustainable vocal use — whether you're returning from strain, illness, or simply starting over.

    Perfect for: singers and voice users recovering from overuse, illness, vocal fatigue, or extended time off.

    Professional Tune-Up

    Targeted, high-level coaching for working vocalists who want to stay sharp, adaptable, and vocally resilient.

    When singing is your job, your voice needs to be reliable — whether you're on stage, in the studio, or managing multiple gigs a week. These ad-hoc sessions are designed for experienced singers who want focused input on specific repertoire, stylistic polish, vocal health maintenance, or just a safe space to check in with their technique and keep things in shape.

    You bring the material, and I’ll bring objective ears, honest (but never unkind) feedback, and practical strategies to keep your voice working at its best. We can troubleshoot your repertoire pain points, workshop stylistic nuances, or even just warm up and reset together between performances.

    Perfect for: touring musicians, session singers, music theatre performers, ensemble pros, and voice users who want technical clarity and fast, effective results.
