About Me

 
 
 

Hi, I’m Gemma.

I’m a contemporary vocal coach, certified Vocal Habilitation Professional, and Buteyko Breathing Instructor working online with adult singers worldwide.

I specialise in helping singers who feel stuck, strained, or frustrated rebuild healthy technique and sing with more freedom, stability, and confidence.

If you’d like to explore how I work in more detail, you can visit my coaching services page.

Who I Work With

I work with adult singers at all stages- from seasoned performers recording albums or appearing in the West End, to those rediscovering music later in life.

What my clients share isn’t a particular level of experience.
It’s a desire to sing with more ease, freedom, and creativity.

They want their voice to:

  • Feel reliable

  • Respond when they ask it to

  • Stop tiring so quickly

  • Sound like them — without forcing or overthinking

Some are navigating vocal tension or fatigue.
Others simply know there’s more available to them than what they’re currently accessing.

They’re not looking for gimmicks.

They’re looking for sustainable change.

My Journey with Singing

I didn’t become a vocal coach because singing felt effortless.

Like many singers, I spent years searching for answers. I made progress, learned a great deal, and yet something still felt unresolved. Singing often felt more effortful than it should.

In 2023, I discovered I was tongue tied, and it reframed everything I thought I knew about my own voice.

Understanding the impact that being tongue tied had on my singing changed not only my sound, but the way I coach. You can read more about that journey on my Tongue-Tie & Singing page.

I also discovered that I’m hypermobile, which deepened my awareness of how the body and voice interact. Navigating those challenges shaped a coaching approach that considers the whole system- breath, coordination, alignment, and nervous system regulation- not just the sound.

How I Coach

That turning point didn’t just transform my singing — it expanded my coaching.

Today, my work combines:

  • Evidence-based vocal technique

  • Buteyko breathing for singers

  • Vocal health principles

  • Creative exploration and confidence-building

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all singing lessons. Instead, I meet you where you are and tailor sessions to what your voice and body genuinely need.

I design individual coaching packages so that your sessions build on one another and move you forwards toward your goals. While one-off sessions can offer useful insights, real momentum tends to happen when there is structure and continuity over time.

Why Singers Choose to Work With Me

Singing is deeply personal. When your voice feels unreliable, it can affect far more than just performance.

Many of the singers I support are thoughtful, creative people who simply want their voice to feel easier and more expressive.

Whether you’re preparing for a professional performance or want to enjoy singing without strain or frustration, you’ll be met with clarity, structure, and compassion.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not coaching, you’ll usually find me rehearsing with my covers band, strength training at the gym, or out walking my Jack Russell, Roxy.
