Voice work with Alex
Do you feel nervous when speaking in public?
Do you miss the joy from singing?
Do you wish you could rely on your voice?
I can help.
Confidence building. Breathing & Vocal techniques. Warm up exercises. Nerve management. Performance & Song delivery.
I am a vocalist, songwriter & teacher. I suffer from Anxiety and Stage Fright. Purposeful present tense.
These challenges lead me to solutions. A great place to start is health and mind connection to the body.
Together, we can build muscle memory, trust and breath awareness well enough so you can express yourself clearly and truthfully. We will laugh a lot on the journey to joyful singing or speaking, believe me! Lip rolls anyone??
I find Yogic practice benefical for managing stage and performance fright. You don't have to have any experience or care for yoga to sing; my teaching toolkit expanded rapidly through deep focus on the breath, finding peace in stillness. Breathing correctly and consciously will help to manage stress levels; preventing panic by using the breath as gentle self guidance.
After a cold December in 2014 I decided to travel to India to deeply focus on Yoga. I graduated from Sampoorna in Agonda, Goa and qualified to teach in March 2015.

Rewind to 2006, my musical journey begun @ The BRITs School, then British Institute of Modern Music followed by a lucky and hugely benefical stint at New York Jazz Academy and most recently Jazz workshops under the guidance of Cecilia Stalin in London.
2018... My role at Capital City Academy as Vocal Coach to the GCSE Musicians has given me the opportunity to craft strategy aiding young voices to lift in confidence and excellence. We work on breath awareness, diction, ear training and improvisation.
2017... Vocalist @ Archer Street, Soho + Vocalist @ LEON, Shaftesbury Avenue.
2014-2016... I moved to Brooklyn undertaking artist development with Ben Davis of Sipan Publishing. I wrote songs for my EP and other artist's projects. I collaborated with fantastic artists and musicians whilst in NYC and plan to head back in August to continue writing and growing.
2012... Abu Dhabi residency with band.
2011... I started teaching singing lessons privately.
The above video is from my first Open Mic in London with some of my own original songs - These tracks have now moved into other forms but for drafts I stand by them and am proud of that first milestone.
