Techniques
Our singing techniques are drawn from sources that include Estil and Bel Canto methods as well as contemporary and classical vocal techniques from the professionals we’ve worked with in our own careers. This fusion of vocal technique, performance psychology and coaching gives our singers a leading edge; they’re performance ready technically and mentally.
Performing, whether it’s on stage or in an audition, can be part exciting and part scare-the-pants-off scary. We’re looking to harness more of the excitement. When our bodies feel nervous they are designed to react with a very successful fight or flight response fueled by adrenaline. It’s something humans have been doing for millenia, and it’s deep in our DNA. How do we get around this entirely human response to performance? Well, that’s where the rewiring begins and mind set practice comes to the fore. We’ve built this into our vocal coaching with reflective learning skills and positive mindset hacks.

Meet Some of Our Singers
Raphaela Neame
Working with Diana has given me not only the knowledge, but the confidence to sing songs that I would’ve never considered myself capable of singing before. What I like about her method of teaching is that she doesn’t force students into a specific way of singing, but rather teaches them the ability to choose how they want to interpret certain melodies, which inevitably leads them to discover their own musical identities. I am so happy to have found such a great vocal professor, who genuinely believes in her students and helps them forge their musical paths!

Diana not only teaches you the proper technique, she teaches how to hone your unique style and stay true to it. She supports you and mentally prepares you for any challenge you may encounter such as auditions or performances, regardless of genre. She builds performers by way of encouragement. You can’t ask for anything more.
