Lesley Curtis
Singer Songwriter & Vocal Coach
“Sing Yourself Free”
Vocal Coach
Singing Lessons (one to one) - Day Workshops - Courses
Lesley works with two levels of voice-work. Firstly she enables the student to gain the confidence to sing with self-belief, fun and enjoyment and ultimately, to like the sound of their own voice. This helps expand the level of their self-esteem and personal confidence.
Using vocal exercises, posture, relaxation exercises and energy work, she helps to improve their vocal sound quality and helps the student gain a foundation for a confident singing technique.
Whatever their level of expertise, Lesley can help to develop and promote a positive attitude to singing by oneself or in a group, without the student being able to read or understand music.
Calling upon her twenty-five years experience as a professional singer, she can also help with auditions, microphone technique, presentation and personal development as an artiste.
“Sing Yourself Free”
is the name Lesley gives to her vocal coaching as she feels it captures the essence of the freedom of expression it can release.
You can “Sing Yourself Free” on a One-to-One Basis, as a Day Workshop or as a Course, either privately or in a business setting.
