Vocal Coaching
Experience how free & powerful your voice really is
A singing technique built on resonance, breath coordination and emotional authenticity, not force or overthinking. We work in conversation with your body and your unique voice, building on what comes naturally, so you can enjoy a free, full sound that holds up gig after gig.
Ways to work with me
01
One-off coaching session
A focused 90-minute session to tackle something specific and leave with a clear way forward.
It's for you if
- You have a specific challenge in your voice you want to solve
- You're preparing for a performance, audition or recording
- You want a fresh ear on your technique
- You'd like the tools to keep working on your own
What's included
- One 90-minute one-to-one session
- A personal training guide made for you to work with independently
02
Mentorship
Ongoing one-to-one work with my support in between sessions, for lasting change in your voice.
It's for you if
- You want a free, reliable voice that holds up gig after gig
- You're ready to retrain habits rather than find a quick fix
- You have a release, tour or busy season ahead
- You want someone in your corner as your voice develops
What's included
- One-hour online sessions, weekly or fortnightly
- Personalised audio guides for your practice
- Feedback between sessions: send me your recordings or questions any time
- Further learning resources, like videos, to support your development
The minimum I'd recommend is three months, but a year or more is usually ideal. We shape the rhythm around you: weekly, fortnightly, or an intensive start that eases off.

Project-based coaching
Vocal and artist development built around a specific project, in person, online or a mix of both.
It's for you if
- You're recording an album or EP
- You're heading out on tour or into a run of shows
- You're in a writing camp or rehearsal stint and want your voice supported throughout
- You need artist development alongside the vocal work
What can be included
- In-person support in the studio or rehearsal room
- Vocal production
- Joining you on the road
- Online sessions alongside the in-person work
I've travelled on tour with artists before. Availability depends on my schedule, so get in touch with your project and dates and we'll shape it together.

About Gemma
Singer, voice professional & coach
I'm a vocal coach (MA, BMus) and accredited leadership coach (MA-Dip). I've performed as a singer on stages from arenas to live television, worked as a voice professional with artists including Bon Iver, Damien Rice and Dermot Kennedy, and coached high-level performers including Sir Lewis Hamilton.
In 2011 I founded Voiceworks Studio and directed it for ten years, building a team of over twenty coaches before selling the business in 2021. During Covid I launched Pro Vocal Artist, which reached over half a million singers online, and in 2024 I handed it over to former students.
Today I work one-to-one with singers and artists on their vocal and artistic development. I also mentor creative entrepreneurs, because building your own business and paving your own path is a huge passion of mine.
My philosophy is simple: if true artistry comes first, technical ease in the voice will flow.
Why I recommend working together over a year or longer
Lasting change in the voice doesn't come from one breakthrough. It comes from retraining habits your body has held for years.
Your body needs time to learn
Finding resonance and breath coordination means building new pathways to muscles you've rarely felt, like learning to feel a new muscle in the gym. It takes repetition, feedback and time for it to become automatic.
The work builds in layers
We build resonance strategies, breath coordination and emotional authenticity in how you sing a text, while unlearning the habits you formed before these were in place. Your training evolves as you do.
Feedback keeps you on course
Practising alone, it's easy to drift. Regular sessions and feedback in between mean you're never practising the wrong thing for long, so you can explore freely instead of worrying about getting it wrong.
So it holds up when it matters
The goal isn't a voice that works on a good day. It's one you can rely on gig after gig, through busy seasons.
How it works
01
Get In Touch
Every client starts with a chat. Tell me about your voice, where you are now and what you want from it, and I'd love to hear you sing.
02
We choose the right fit
Together we decide which way of working suits you best.
03
The work begins
One-to-one sessions shaped around your voice, with audio guides and feedback keeping you moving in between.
Questions
Why do you offer mentorship instead of lessons?
What happens in a session is only a snapshot of the work. The real progress happens in the relationship we build outside of sessions, as you build your technique and your path as an artist. Mentorship gives that process the time, feedback and support it needs.
How does mentorship work?
The minimum I'd recommend is three months, but a year or more is usually ideal. Sessions are weekly or fortnightly, with audio guides and feedback between them.
What's the difference between a one-off session and mentorship?
A one-off session gives you one 90-minute session and a personal training guide to work with on your own. Mentorship is ongoing: you get regular sessions plus my support between them, with feedback on your recordings, personalised audio guides and further learning resources.
Can I mix weekly and fortnightly sessions?
Yes. For example, you could start with an intensive first 3 months of weekly sessions, then move to fortnightly or monthly for the rest of the year. We'll shape it together in our first conversation.
What are the audio guides?
Recordings made for you and your voice, based on what we're working on, so you know exactly how to practise between sessions.
Are sessions online or in person?
One-off sessions and mentorship are online, so you can work with me from anywhere. My clients are currently based in Ireland, the UK, Europe and the US. In-person work is part of project-based coaching, which can include support in the studio, rehearsal room or on tour, depending on my schedule.
