Testimonials

“I have worked with Oliva for nearly 7 years, and my career has been on an upward trajectory ever since. I first approached Olivia upon a recommendation and I have not looked back. Olivia provides an extremely professional and personal approach to coaching. Her industry knowledge is invaluable, and the support given to me is nothing short of excellent. She has driven me to be the success I am now. I continue to grow and expand as a professional vocalist under her guidance, and I will always recommend her to anyone - an incredible person and an outstanding vocal coach!...” 

"I found Olivia by chance through her website and I’m so grateful I did. From my very first consultation, she made me feel completely at ease and the positive, supportive atmosphere has continued throughout my time with her. Olivia isn’t just a singing teacher, she’s a caring, thoughtful mentor who truly prioritises each student’s individual needs. Although experienced in acting, I started with no prior knowledge of singing or understanding of my own voice and in the past 2 years I’ve grown enormously. My confidence, technique, and vocal awareness have developed so much. Every lesson brings a new insight; not only into my voice, but into the industry itself. Her support has made the industry feel far less overwhelming and far more accessible and I always leave each lesson feeling empowered, positive, and with a clear sense of my next steps. I couldn’t recommend Olivia more highly..."

“Olivia has been my singing teacher for over 10 years. Before finding her, I worked with two or three different teachers and also experienced vocal coaching at the University of Southampton - a top rated university for music. None of them came close to the level of technical, professional, and emotional communication coaching that Olivia provides. One of the things that set Olivia apart is that she teaches from a solid classical foundation. I found that many singing teachers unfortunately can encourage unnatural techniques leading to vocal tension and even vocal damage. Olivia’s classical approach has given me healthy, sustainable technique that supports every style I sing. When I first started, I had no idea how much her lessons would shape my voice in such a natural and healthy way. My vocals have improved immeasurably, along with my musical understanding, instincts, repertoire choices, and confidence. Our lessons are structured, engaging, and always enjoyable. Olivia not only offers invaluable advice on each song we work on but also takes a holistic view of my voice, supporting long-term development tailored to areas of my voice that need growth. I’m now a professional singer performing at music venues, corporate and private events and I would never consider another singing teacher...” 

What an incredible teacher — I am truly grateful! Throughout my musical journey, I’ve had the pleasure of studying and singing with many different teachers in Austria, Croatia and the UK. Some explained things in great detail, while others were less pedagogical in their approach. Meeting Olivia was the experience I needed both personally and professionally. She is not only an exceptional mentor, but also a wonderful human being - funny, emotionally intelligent, and deeply inspiring.

She explains concepts in a way I have never experienced before, using imaginative and creative techniques that make everything clear and engaging. Every single lesson with her brought new discoveries and meaningful growth. Olivia has remarkable psychological insight, and working with her allows you to grow not only as a singer, but also as a person. I am incredibly grateful to have met her and to have had her as part of my journey. She didn’t just help me believe in my voice again — she helped me rediscover the joy of singing every day..."

"Olivia is the most incredible teacher I've ever had the joy of working with. As a total (very nervous) amateur it was my dream to sing on stage with my dad (he's a guitarist) who already performs in pubs. Aside from the technical ability to sing and breathe better she gave me the confidence that I needed and a belief in myself I never thought possible.

Although I have now achieved my dream and no longer have lessons due to other commitments, I very much miss seeing Olivia on a weekly basis. I truly don't think I could have done it without her. She's practically perfect in every way! Highly recommend..."

“I was initially drawn to lessons with Olivia when I found her website through Google, because she is an opera singer trained in classical "proper" singing and that is what I was looking for. We have been working together for 4 years now. My progress has been night and day compared to previous teachers I have had. I love that her lessons are often very dynamic and I always leave feeling like I have learned something new. Her teaching style has the right blend of physiological and psychological, and she explains techniques and concepts in a very easy to understand way. In the last four years, I have grown as a singer massively, discovered I am a much higher voiced singer than I originally believed and feel as though I understand my instrument far better. She has also helped me to understand some of the nuances in entering a career in the music industry, something I had no concept. I would recommend Olivia to anyone who wants to learn more about their voice and not just grow as a singer, but as a performer and a person as well...” 

Olivia's knowledge, experience and teaching expertise are simply exceptional - something anyone will love to share. It has been inspiring, enlightening and hugely educational, helping me to grow as a person as well as develop my voice beyond my dreams. Olivia is a joy to be with and teaches with great generosity..."

Olivia is an exceptional coach. She doesn’t simply teach technique; she teaches you how to tell a story, how to convey an experience, and how to trust yourself in the process. I must also add she has a beautiful voice. I highly recommend!..."

“Working with Olivia over the past 4 years has been nothing short of an absolute delight. I feel truly honoured to work with, and be guided by, such a remarkable woman. Every session with Olivia is a breath of fresh air- I leave feeling invigorated, energised and inspired, yet also feeling nurtured, heard, and grounded in an actionable plan. I could never have imagined such incredible sessions - not only did Olivia teach me the most important lessons about my voice that I've ever learnt, but she empowered me to recognise my own unique strengths. When I left England to travel the world, she was always there with words of encouragement and support, and continued to mentor me through this exciting and confusing world of starting a music career as a singer-songwriter. She is truly an expert in everything from breathwork, delivery, and performance, to building your identity as an artist, finding opportunities to work, and putting yourself out there. I could not recommend Olivia highly enough. She has been a pivotal person in my life, and continues to be a source of incredible inspiration and guidance. I really don't know what I'd do without her!...”

“I came to Olivia for a few ‘emergency’ lessons because I'd been given a solo  in my choir and as my technique was very poor I didn't feel at all confident. 3 year's later I'm still learning so much from her and thoroughly enjoying our lessons! She's a fantastic teacher who is very knowledgeable and interesting, able to work with many different genres and encourages me to branch out of my comfort zone (but only at a rate that I can handle). She's not only helping me gain a solid technique that is building my stamina, tone and agility, but she's helped me so much with the interpretation and communication of songs that I would have never thought possible before. I have improved far more than I ever imagined and I have changed my whole approach to singing - I'm no longer afraid of trying new challenges and I love volunteering for any solo performing opportunities either at choir or concerts. She is a holistic teacher and the lessons always make me feel happier and empowered. She is professional, inspiring, systematic and above all, caring - the qualities of a top-range teacher. I cannot recommend her highly enough...”
