Bio

I’m Jessica and I’m here to help you reach your vocal goals and help you discover parts of your voice that you didn’t even know you had inside you. 

The voice is the most unique and diverse instrument in the world.  Over the years I have had the pleasure of coaching many clients, from complete beginners to seasoned professional singers. I truly love helping people find their voice, understand it and take it to new levels, well beyond what they believe they’re capable of. Lessons take place at my modern professional studio In Essex with the use of full recording facilities included in the session.  Check out clients feedback here https://www.singinglessonsessex.com/client-testimonials.html

Singing is a physical as well as a mental experience. Singing requires all of yourself, because the instrument is you. So, as well as teaching the technical aspects of singing such as breath and voice placement and various other techniques, I also focus on helping my clients to deal with self-confidence issues and to overcome barriers that may hold them back from achieving their full potential.

My knowledge and insight into the voice is extensive and I feel confident in saying that it goes further than what the average voice coach teaches.  I believe my gift is to encourage my clients’ voices to a level that they may not have dreamed possible. Where there is potential, I will recognise it, draw it out and fully develop it. I always provide honest feedback about your voice.

Some clients come to me because they like to sing for fun, but at the same time they want to have more understanding about their own vocal instrument so they can enjoy singing with greater freedom and gain confidence.  Most singers I work with are either striving towards a career in music or are already professional singers who come to me  for vocal maintenance and to take their voice to the next level, whatever that may be for them, because trust me, there’s always the next level, its a jouney of growth not a destination and with a STOP YOU ARE HERE sign at the end.

Whatever your reason is for taking singing lessons, it is always my great pleasure to share my love of music and singing with you.

Teaching Info

Sessions take place in my modern, professional studio in Essex with full use of recording facilities and a recording sound-booth included.

There is always more to learn and more to explore with the voice; even the best coaches and singers are continuously working on their vocal technique and voice development. Unlike a man-made musical instrument, the voice is is actually a living part of the human body and, just like anything else that you want to keep fit and healthy, regular training and maintenance is needed.

Lesson Approach: Every lesson is different, since every client is unique; in general, however, my teaching approach is focused around the following points.

1)    I will help you to get to know your voice and how it works technically, all of which will help you to sing at your best: freely and without any risk of strain. I will teach you specific vocal techniques and will address any issues that need work; I will provide a taining plan designed for your needs to follow at home between session.

2)    We will work on songs together and record them in my studio; you will get to keep the recordings. The recording process is very valuable, since we can go through each take and discuss what exactly your voice was doing, what passages were great and what needs more attention. Being able to hear your voice and analyse these aspects offers great insight and an opportunity to understand the mechanism of your voice better.

3) We will uncover any blocks you may have around your voice, be they physial, mental or emotional, We will explore whats behind those blocks and work to disolve them to unleash your true vocal potential so that you can not just sing … but SING SING.

4)    We will discuss what goals you have and what you want to work towards; maybe you want to be a professional singer, compete in a talent show, or just have more technical freedom to enjoy singing your favourite songs at home.

5)    The main styles I teach are Pop, Soul, RnB, Disco, Motown, Rock, Blues, Adult Contemporary, Indie and Jazz; however, I am always open to trying different things with clients. Usually most clients prefer one or two styles of music, but I do encourage them to experiment with different styles.

6)    Most importantly, I hope to help you to sing expressively, to apply all you learn about your voice and the wonderful gift of singing.  I want you to feel inspired, to grow more confident using your voice and, above all, to sing from your heart and from your soul – because that is where music is born.
