TEACHING
“Dave has been an instrumental part of my vocal life for the better part of a decade. His dedication to vocal training is awe-inspiring and his ability to encourage a voice to its best quality is something to be greatly valued.”
Working with me
I like helping people
I enjoy their unique instrument
No one else can sound like you
I really give a fuck
The thing that gives me the most pleasure is helping someone to actually find a way of working with their instrument that becomes instinctual, rather than having to jump through a bunch of hoops
Active and repeatable
Feel like in control without being in control
I also really enjoy working with people who are wanting to sing as long as they possibly can - healthy vocal technique, and understanding that your voice will change. I will help you navigate your changing voice and continue to find joy with your instrument.
I teach a range of ages and stages of singer, from absolute beginners through to professionals working in classical music and musical theatre
Whoever I’m working with, I try and get people to rely on the innate strengths of their bodies
It should feel easy
My main work with most people to start with is on breath, breath efficiency and control in order to release sound properly
Endlessly curious about what makes people tick, and I love the game of making people understand how their voice can be used to its fullest potential. Discovering together what is in the way.
We’re born knowing how to do this, and we spend the rest of our lives getting in the way. I want to help you get out of the way.
Whether you’re a complete beginner looking to try to a new hobby, or an avid singer and performer already looking to improve, or a professional looking for an MOT or new perspective.
