At Sing Your Heart Out we make sure that you're ready for the spotlight.
Our training is the very best in Musical Theatre, Jazz, Rock, Soul, R 'N' B & Pop
We can help you to find your true potential in auditions, live performances and studio recordings. Shine as a solo singer, band member, singer-songwriter or just for fun.
We also offer coaching to actors who need help with creating accents or vocalising characters. Professional business people benefit from coaching in clear diction and public speaking.
Polly offers a safe, supportive, productive and fun environment. She works with her students to build on their self-belief, and to help them relax and overcome their nerves.
Singing students are amazed at the instant change for the better in their voice, and also that a singing lesson can be such an enjoyable experience. Polly's techniques are easy to follow and very effective. Every student is given individually tailored vocal exercises to practise regularly.
Polly says: 'if you're doing it right it should be easy. If it hurts - you're doing it wrong!'
What happens during Polly's singing lessons?
Polly:
Sessions are for one hour or half an hour.
I play and teach from the piano, preparing students for auditions or performances that require piano accompaniement. I also have a large library of songs and sheet music in every genre, and pre-recorded backing tracks on CD.
Relaxation
Breathing exercises help focus the mind and body and release tension, and build confidence.
Warm-ups
Students learn to produce a beautiful, big, round sound, by using correct placement and support within the body and face.
Polly can correct common problems in both male and female voices:
Lack of vocal range
The 'Break' in female voices
Thin, nasal, or harsh tone
Lack of breath control
Bad intonation (singing out of tune)
Lack of vocal strength or projection
Sore throat or loss of voice
Nerves and lack of confidence
Students may record their singing lesson using a dictaphone or recordable mp3 player, so that they can listen and practise with their recordiing
