As a professional performer and sole trader of private voice practice, Vocal Insight, I have gained a wealth of experience in one-on-one and small-group vocal coaching and live performance. As a voice practitioner and emerging voice pedagogue, I would now like to utilise my skills and experience to benefit the learning process, experience, and development of aspiring voice novices. My practice is based on one-on-one sessions, which incorporate bodywork, breathing exercises, and voice work. The exercises also focus on vocal health and well-being as well as efficient singing techniques which adhere to a holistic teaching approach.

About Me

Vocal Insight™ offers an in-depth and holistic insight into the embodied voice (with support from the Estill model and Linklater approach amongst other approaches) and allows one to draw out their vocal strengths and weaknesses whilst improving the former via efficient exercises and knowledge. Although the sole focus is based on one's voice, the aim is to evoke and nurture the potential of one's singing voice in order to gain confidence in using it within a public setting.

Each session is carefully tailored according to the students’ needs and all styles/genres are covered which include: Pop, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Ballad, Opera, folk, and Speech.
Deelee utilises a very patient and understanding approach as a singing teacher and voice coach, and her aim is to help any aspiring individual or novice with an interest in voice realise their great potential. In return, the only requirement is patience, focus, commitment, and determination.
Alongside singing lessons and voice coaching, Vocal Insight also specialises in songwriting tuition, basic music theory, and performance techniques.

As an experienced voice practitioner, professional vocalist, and songwriter, Deelee’s work ethic adheres to a friendly, efficient, and patient approach, where much focus is invested into attention, detail, and creative and artistic expression.


The voice and singing sessions are conducted with the use of a piano as an instrumental aid. The main purpose is to provide an effective and pleasant voice coaching service and to also inform students and clients about vocal pedagogy, artistry, and well-being.

Vocal Insight™ is available to all individuals who aim to improve their voice in various settings. The sessions will be conducted on a private 1:1 basis and incorporate the Estill Method and Linklater approach.


The voice sessions have enabled Deelee, as a practitioner, to concentrate on the client's vocal strengths and weaknesses. This would also encompass delivering vital information regarding their vocal health and delivery. She has worked with clients from different cultural backgrounds who have encountered problems with speech, accent/ dialects, articulation, and vocal production. Her teaching method comprises simple and effective breathing and vocal exercises, accompanied by bodywork and limber exercises, in order to encourage clients and students to improve and balance their vocal production through movement and breathing.


As a musician and singer, Deelee has always possessed a great passion for voice, singing, and storytelling alongside vocal pedagogy. She enjoys exploring current themes through continuous research and study to build upon her knowledge and experience as a voice practitioner and firmly believes that this would serve as a valuable contribution to her growth and development as a performer and practitioner.
She is in favour of combining effective methods in order to implement and produce an efficient and creative teaching strategy and aims to utilise her creative skills and artistic abilities to support novices to reach their maximum potential creatively through using the voice as a creative outlet.


Deelee utilises a holistic approach to singing, performing, and creating music, and vocal health operates as an imperative element of her teaching method.

Singing and voice sessions are conducted at her South London practice ONLY.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Steve
Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

During the lessons, we will be able to approach different aspects of vocal work, such as technique (breathing, posture, vocal placement), the repertoire, the development of musicality or body expression, according to your needs and desires. If you want to explore your vocal potential and the joys of singing, don't hesitate to contact me to schedule your first lesson!

In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
