Location & Contact

Lydia has been a brilliant and supportive teacher to me. Her understanding of the technical side of singing is so detailed and she teaches with empathy and curiosity. I continue to learn so much from her and my live performances feel stronger too!

After having a vocal injury, I felt really stressed about my next prospects in the injury. But meeting Lydia alleviated any worries I felt. Not only did she guide and train me back to complete vocal health. She also instilled back in me a confidence in my singing abilities, which I truly appreciated after the knock back I got from being injured.

I was extremely fortunate to have been introduced to Lydia when I was starting to look at musical theatre/ acting as a career option. Lydia has an incredible way of making you feel safe and encouraging you to find your own voice whilst pushing you out of your comfort zone. Lydia guided me through the entire process of looking and auditioning for colleges helping me realize that I I didn’t have to sound like anyone else in order to be “good enough” for the industry and all the while helping me to unlock parts of my voice that I didn’t even know were accessible to me. I’m truly thankful for her personal touch and her pastoral way of looking after her students in such a caring and passionate manner.

Lydia is such a fantastic teacher. From legit pre 1960’s classical music to contemporary music, Lydia provides such useful techniques in order to use the voice safely in any style. As a teacher myself she also helped me develop my methods when teaching my own students.

Lydia is more than just a singing teacher. She understands the physical and emotional challenges of the performing industry and teaches with empathy, precision and passion. Having been my teacher for 3 years she has become a friend who is always willing to go the extra mile to help me reach my fullest potential. She is also extremely helpful in rehabilitating you back to full vocal health should you have suffered trauma.

'Ever since I finished my cruise ship contract, I was in dyer need to get back to building my voice again and gain more confidence. When I started working with Lydia I immediately noticed a massive improvement in my voice. I have gained so much knowledge in how my voice works and my own tone, I have bundles of more confidence in how to use my voice correctly and to sing styles I may not have before. Working with Lydia has truly changed my voice for the better and she has been a dream at how adaptable her teaching style is depending on what I need, whether that be verbally explaining things or using physical movements. It has been truly transformative for me. Now two years later, I have booked my DREAM job and I wouldn't be where I am without her help'

My journey to booking my first West End job took the best part of 7 years. For each audition round, year after year I would see Lydia to work on the material. She not only gave me the practical skills to accurately sing a score I thought was far above my ability, her unwavering faith in me kept me going! Lydia had always said that she wouldn’t go to see the show until I was in it - her confidence in me was that strong. I’m delighted to say her patience finally paid off! Having her in the audience for my first performance in the role was an incredibly special moment. Everyone needs a mentor like Lydia in their life, I feel so lucky to have her in mine.

After having surgery on my vocal cords, I started seeing Lydia as part of my rehabilitation process, it is the best decision I have ever made. She instantly made me feel at ease and was incredibly caring. My confidence and strength in my voice began to improve with every session. I cannot recommend Lydia’s vocal coaching and vocal rehabilitation sessions enough. I definitely wouldn’t be where I am vocally without them.
