Raise your voice!
Individual Singing Sessions
An individual session with Richard is designed to help you find your voice!
Did you lose it somewhere along the way (maybe you were told to ‘quiet down’ or that you had a ‘bad’ voice?) Or maybe you love to sing but you would like more power, gravitas, vibrato, colour or life in your voice?
Richard will work through a number of exercises with you based on what he sees and hears, to help you get the best from your voice.
PLEASE NOTE: An individual session is a pre-requisite to our ‘Singing Solo‘ workshop.
These workshops are run on an individual basis.

Singing Solo Workshop
For many people, singing solo in front of an audience is a big step: exposed and vulnerable. When you take that risk it often shows up where you’ve been holding back on the full power of your voice, which in turn is a reliable indicator of where you’ve been holding back on your personal power. It can be a wonderful breakthrough experience, so shine your light! sing out boldly!
Choose a song you’d like to sing, prepare it with an individual session with Richard, then sing it to a friendly audience, (max 8 participants.) On the solo day there are a variety of preparation exercises that equip you for singing and being at your best. When it’s your turn, you sing it several times, working with instruction, so you can take it where you want to go.
These workshops are run on an individual basis.

Harmony
If you like singing harmonies, or if you are someone who sings harmony, but feels a bit insecure, you are invited to come to an afternoon mini-workshop session, where we explore this topic as a smaller group.
Watch out…once you’ve had a taste of doing this in a smaller group, you’ll be hooked.
This workshop is limited to ten people.
Early bookings are advised.
Cost $150 (conc. $120)
The Blues
Slaves in the Deep South used to sing into a barrel so they could unleash their emotions without being overheard by the man with the whip.
The Blues has an intensity and passion that’s contained and private. It was meant to go either into the barrel or up to heaven.
This style is about singing with the belly muscles and contacting that deep inner soulful place that is so satisfying to sing from.
Cost $150 (conc. $120)
The Whites
Is about daring to be boundlessly joyful. How do we access that wonderful voice that sounds like a bright summer’s morning, and really allow our heart to fly, and from that place, is it possible to use that energy to uplift an audience. The secret is to take the focus off the self-conscious ‘me,’ and allow that energy to come through to benefit the other.
You may be surprised by the new landscapes you discover for your voice, and for a flowing unselfconscious freedom
As a preparation you will receive MP3’s so that you can familiarise yourself with a few simple lines of song.
