Training
Nicola offers individual training & mentoring for singing teachers. She also runs courses for training singers and teachers in applied anatomy, vocal technique and the use of cutting-edge motor training to embody the voice.
Nicola provides a safe space for singing and spoken voice teachers to add to their existing knowledge in a way that their students will find immediately useful. Her work is based on years of research and her teaching both thorough and respectful of the teachers’ existing experience. I would encourage any spoken voice or singing coach, who wants to add valuable new tools, to take her courses.
“Motor training tools for singers, voice & vocal coaches
Embodima
Nicola has been working with neuroscientists and anatomists in London, Oxford and Wales to create the most efficient and successful training programme for singers.
She has co-authored and researched extensively with the neuro-anatomist Dr Alan Watson at Cardiff University.
Nicola has always taken a meticulous approach to the teaching of singing, based not only in her extensive experience with singers or different ages and abilities, but also by initiating collaborative studies with respiratory physiologists to validate her practices through direct recording of respiratory muscle activity of singers.
“Embodima
Nicola’s passion for clarifying the language used to teach singing has resulted in a highly effective anatomy-based image-vocabulary for conveying vocal technique. She has worked for 14 years to develop a ground-breaking motor training system for singers and teachers of singing. She has presented this material at national and international voice conferences with uptake of the training in Europe, USA and Australia.
