A good singing teacher is more than just teaching vocal technique - they are a friend, an advisor and a mentor that you can trust.

Olivia carefully selects her students after an initial consultation lesson where she quickly identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each student and builds a short and long term bespoke programme of tuition to enable each student to realise their ambitions.

Although she focuses on the technical elements of singing (including breathing, support, posture, resonance and projection), she is more than just a typical singing teacher. She works closely with her students on performance skills, communication, acting, interpretation, repertoire, stamina and audition technique as well as the business elements of being a performer such as personal marketing and career development.

Olivia also has an impressive track record in solving vocal and respiratory problems, voice deterioration and vocal rehabilitation with both singers and non-singers. 

She also works with a range of celebrity personalities and business people at building their presentation skills, vocal projection and confidence.
