- Creative writing for lyrics, poetry, scripts, stories and web content - Writing professional and engaing promo copy for press releases, biogs and articles - Giving effective interviews, presentations and spoken content - Finding and communicating your particular voice as an artist, in a way that will draw attention - Understanding and working with international English variants and dialects This class is intended for creative artists, musicians and performers wanting to improve their writing and language skills to better promote their work in English speaking markets. This class is not about dry technical grammar and Queen's English, but about understanding, developing and communicating your particular voice, identity and vision in a professional and effective way. Whether you are an experienced writer and performer in another language or just someone looking to express themselves, I can help you build confidence, avoid common pitfalls and sell yourself as a serious creative professional. ESL/EAL: Suitable for non-native English speakers of all levels - we will need to be able to communicate in basic English at least, but I will help you through any difficulties you have.

I am the singing teacher that lets you make the noise you want, then trains you in how to make it awesome. I will teach you the physical and technical basis of singing powerfully and efficiently and help you diagnose and fix whatever problems might be holding you back, but then it is all about expression. We will figure out together the kind of voice you want to develop, the message you want to express and then go deep in song studies (existing repertoire and your own original work where relevant). Together we will set goals and practical tasks to develop you as both a singer and as an artist, incorporating songwriting skills, home recording, live work and mic skills, music theory and history and even spoken word and acting techniques, as your particular path develops. I particularly specialise in jazz, rock (up to and including extreme metal screaming/growling) and cross/transgender vocal studies (I identify as gender non-binary myself and have performed in male, female and androgynous guises).
