Testimonials
Working with Liz has been truly transformative. Her unique ability to combine expert technique with genuine care has been invaluable in helping me grow, recover, and thrive as a professional singer. From my time at university to navigating my early professional career, her guidance has strengthened my voice whilst giving me the tools and techniques to have confidence in a long and healthy career.
- Darcey O'Brien

I have had singing lessons with Liz for 9 months now and she has taught me so much in such little time. She gave me the tools to confidently work on my voice independently and perform to my highest standards no matter the style of song. With Liz, I now have been given the tools to thrive within the industry and even outside of singing I have gained so much confidence in myself and my ability to perform in general. I have been able to book performance gigs because of this.
- William Jones

When I first started working with Liz I was very under confident when it came to using my voice in front of others and in audition situations. Liz helped me figure out what worked for me and what didn't, teaching me techniques and methods to tackle the problems I was facing in my voice and overcome them with patience and care! We spent time together analysing my voice and the issues I was facing and Liz curated warm ups tailored specifically to me, giving me tools to further myself in and out of lessons. my confidence in my ability to sing only went up working with Liz and I couldn't recommend her enough.
