INTERNATIONAL OPERA SOPRANO and AWARD-WINNING SINGING TEACHER & VOCAL COACH (London, Bath & Wiltshire) 30+ years experience teaching Opera, Musical Theatre & Contemporary. Amateurs & Professionals 14+

Olivia has been my singing teacher for over ten years. Before finding her, I worked with two or three different teachers and also experienced vocal coaching at the University of Southampton —a top-rated university for music. None of them came close to the level of technical, professional, and emotional communication coaching that Olivia provides. One of the things that set Olivia apart is that she teaches from a solid classical foundation. I found that many singing teachers unfortunately can encourage unnatural techniques leading to vocal tension and even vocal damage. Olivia’s classical approach has given me healthy, sustainable technique that supports every style I sing. When I first started, I had no idea how much her lessons would shape my voice in such a natural and healthy way. My vocals have improved immeasurably, along with my musical understanding, instincts, repertoire choices, and confidence. Our lessons are structured, engaging, and always enjoyable. Olivia not only offers invaluable advice on each song we work on but also takes a holistic view of my voice, supporting long-term development tailored to areas of my voice that need growth. I’m now a professional singer, performing in hotels, bars, and restaurants and I would never consider another singing teacher.

Over the past 5 years of working with Olivia, I have learnt and developed as a singer and performer more than I could have ever imagined. I still can't believe that my passion is now my job and having just finished my undergraduate degree I am now working as a professional singer! I used to struggle to sing long phrases without running out of breath and high notes were really difficult and frightening for me! Olivia has made me realise what a naturally powerful voice I have and and I'm no longer scared of singing any high notes! Although I'd had singing lessons in the past, it is only from working with Olivia that I now understand why a professional and experienced teacher is so important. Because of her own experience and performing career, Olivia demonstrates and explains technical and musical points in a way that is easy to understand, logical and clear. Olivia has given me so much confidence both in and outside of singing and I'd recommend her to anyone who is looking to develop their voice, communication skills and personal self confidence...

I have worked with Oliva for nearly 7 years, and my career has been on an upward trajectory ever since, I first approached Olivia upon a recommendation, and I have not looked back. Olivia provides an extremely professional and personal approach to coaching. Her industry knowledge is invaluable, and the support given to me is nothing short of excellent. She has driven me to be the success I am now. I continue to grow and expand as a professional vocalist under her guidance, and I will always recommend her to anyone - an incredible person and outstanding coach!

I found Olivia by chance through her website, and I’m so grateful I did. From my very first consultation, she made me feel completely at ease and the positive, supportive atmosphere has continued throughout my time with her. Olivia isn’t just a singing teacher, she’s a caring, thoughtful mentor who truly prioritises each student’s individual needs. I started with no prior knowledge of singing or understanding of my own voice, and in these two years I’ve grown enormously. My confidence, technique, and vocal awareness have developed so much. Every lesson brings a new insight; not only into my voice, but into the industry itself. Her support has made the industry feel far less overwhelming and far more accessible and I always leave each lesson feeling empowered, positive, and with a clear sense of my next steps. I couldn’t recommend Olivia more highly.
