Frances Castley

Do you love the idea of singing, but the act of doing it triggers anxiety in you?

The desire to sing freely comes from the desire to be heard, but if there is a part of you that doesn't want to be heard or doesn't believe you are capable of singing, anxiety will be triggered thus making it very difficult for you to experience this freedom.

I will work closely with you to break down mental and physiological barriers that are holding you back as a singer. I use practical exercises that give you a kinesthetic understanding of what is going on in your larynx so you can make conscientious choices and feel confident about your singing.

You will:

• Become aware of the extraneous effort that causes strain in your voice and learn how to let it go.
• Learn where it is you should be putting your effort to achieve the sound you want without strain.
• Develop a musical ear so you can sing in tune with confidence.
• Increase your vocal range.
• Explore your artistry to add depth and character to your performances.

Recording opportunities

As one of my students, you will have the opportunity to record your voice in an acoustically treated room with high-quality recording gear. This is invaluable for developing singers who want to document their singing journey and have something to show friends and family.
