Train Your Voice. Tell Your Story.

Whether you’re preparing for auditions, developing healthy vocal technique, building confidence, or reconnecting with your artistry, I offer individualized voice coaching rooted in both professional performance experience and evidence-based vocal pedagogy.

I work with singers and actors of all experience levels — from beginners discovering their voice for the first time to emerging professionals preparing for productions, auditions, and post-secondary musical theatre training. My students range from people who simply love to sing and want to build confidence in their voice, to performers appearing on stages such as the Stratford Festival, Shaw Festival, and Mirvish Productions. My teaching practiced is centred around creating a supportive, collaborative environment where students can grow technically while feeling grounded, expressive, and fully themselves as artists.

What We’ll Build Together:

  • Healthy and sustainable vocal technique

  • Mix and belt development

  • Musical theatre repertoire and interpretation

  • Acting through song

  • Audition preparation

  • Breath, resonance, and registration work

  • Building vocal confidence and performance skills

For over six years, I have run a thriving private voice studio while also serving as a Vocal Tutorial Teacher at the prestigious Sheridan College Musical Theatre Program, where I have coached students within one of Canada’s leading musical theatre training programs.

My teaching practice is informed by ongoing study with leading vocal pedagogues including Amanda Flynn and Maddie Tarbox. I have completed coursework in Evidence-Based Voice Work Pedagogy Foundations and Mix-Belt Techniques..

Above all, I believe vocal training should feel curious, encouraging, and sustainable — helping each student develop a voice that is technically reliable, emotionally connected, and authentically their own.
