Singing and spoken vocal studies and performance coaching

From 91.66 C$ /h

1-1 sessions are available in sung voice, spoken voice and performance coaching.

The voice is a vital communicative tool. It is a muscle that can be trained in many ways and for many purposes. A realised voice requires no attention on mechanics so that an individual can realise their performance potential.

My aim is to support the strengthening and toning of the voice so that even in stressful scenarios, such as making a presentation or performing on stage, the individual can focus on delivering an engaging performance rather than having to think about vocal technicalities.

About Me
As a singing teacher I believe in encouraging, supporting and challenging students to achieve their full potential by studying technicalities, focusing on performance and instilling confidence. Not all students go on to follow music professionally, but the skills learnt are transferable to all paths in life.
Education
East 15 Acting School, MA Acting.
Royal Holloway University of London, BMus Honours.

My combination of previous study offers me a unique perspective in teaching. I specialised in vocal performance at Royal Holloway before then going on to study acting at East 15. This allows an approach that first fulfils the necessary vocal abilities of a student, but then elevates the vocal potential by introducing acting and performance skills.
Experience / Qualifications
I am an experienced singer and have received training in classical, jazz, popular, and musical theatre vocal techniques. I am trained in the Estill method and have received training in safeguarding children, youth mental health and psychological first aid. I also have an enhanced DBS check on the update service.

Hugh
Hi, I’m Hugh – a qualified and experienced musician with a Bachelor’s Degree and Honours in Music Performance and Production from The London Centre of Contemporary Music. With over ten years of experience as a guitarist and vocalist, I’ve had the privilege of performing across the UK in several touring bands. My musical journey has seen me perform in genres ranging from funk, indie, to rock.

As an enthusiastic and passionate teacher, I enjoy working with both children and adults to help them reach their musical goals. I understand that every musician is unique, so I always tailor my lessons to suit the individual needs of my students, ensuring that learning is both engaging and fun.

What I Offer:

Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I can help with the following:

Songwriting: Struggling with that elusive bridge for your next band anthem? Let's work together to craft that perfect section and bring your songwriting ideas to life.

Vocal Training: I offer lessons to help you develop your vocal range, pitch, projection, control, tone, diction, runs, and vibrato in chest, head, and combined voice.

Music Theory: Want to conquer the theory side of things? I’ll break down complex concepts so you can understand and apply them in your playing and writing.

Accelerated Learning: Learn faster and easier with tailored methodologies that boost your ability to improvise and master the guitar and vocals.

Ear Training: Hone your ability to replicate melodies, intervals, chords, and songs by ear, so you can hear and play anything you want.

Jam Sessions: We can jam together, covering songs of your choice, to gain a deeper understanding of guitar, vocals, and songwriting.

Fretboard Mastery: Learn how to break down and master the fretboard. Understand triads, seventh chords, and scales in all positions for better improvisation and composition.

My Teaching Style:

I believe that every student has their own way of learning and discovering music. I adapt my lessons to meet your needs and interests, keeping things enjoyable while ensuring progress. Whether you're into playing your favourite covers, writing your own songs, or just want to improve your technique, I’m here to help you grow as a musician.

If you're new to auditioning it can be a daunting prospect. The first time I auditioned for drama school I was completely unaware of what to expect. I didn't know anyone who had been and didn't get any help with speeches or songs. It was a disaster and I was thrown out after the first round. Two years later, I reapplied fully prepared this time, and won a scholarship on the three year acting course at Mountview Theatre School.

I can help with all aspects of the acting audition process:
Vocal/physical warm up
Managing nerves
Making sure your speeches suit you
Working on the text: Understanding - intention - intrepretation - and working towards the required standard for success
What to expect at your audition
Recreating a pressure environment; The dreaded panel, the waiting and staying calm under pressure

I have over twenty years experience as a professional actor, and auditioned hundreds of times across all formats.
I have appeared extensively in the West End and toured across the world, as well as being in over 40 TV commercials.
As a tutor/director I have worked at Arts Ed, Mountview, Ravenscourt Theatre School.

Thea got into ArtsEd! Thanks so much Rainer for all your patience and hard work!' Parents of ArtsEd student Thea Bacon.

I'm also here for the pros too.

If you need a sounding board/ line reader for a TV/Film audition
Deciphering Commercials breakdowns to help you stand out
Constructive feedback

My lessons are designed to be dynamic, supportive, and confidence-building, creating a safe space where students can explore and enjoy singing without fear or pressure. I strongly believe that learning music should feel exciting, empowering, and personal. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone with previous experience, my goal is to help you feel comfortable using your voice and expressing yourself freely while developing healthy vocal habits.

Classes combine vocal technique, breathing exercises, interpretation, musicality, acting tools, diction, and fun performance-based activities adapted to each student’s level, musical taste, and goals. As a bilingual actor and singer with professional experience in musical theatre, live performance, television, and music projects in Mexico, the United States, and Spain, I also help students connect emotionally with songs, improve stage presence, and build confidence while performing in front of others.

My vocal background includes training in musical theatre, jazz singing, gospel music, choral singing, contemporary music, and vocal coaching. Thanks to this variety of styles and techniques, lessons can be adapted for students interested in musical theatre, pop, contemporary music, jazz, or simply discovering and improving their natural voice.

One of my biggest priorities is vocal health. Students will learn how their vocal instrument truly works, how to use it correctly, and how to sing safely without hurting themselves. Understanding your voice is just as important as developing it, and I make sure every exercise is done in a healthy and sustainable way.

I believe every voice has potential, and every student deserves encouragement, patience, and a positive environment throughout their artistic journey. As Gusteau says in Ratatouille: “Everyone can sing.”
