Finally, Vocal Coaching That Works With Your Brain​



I am Sam - a neurodivergent vocal coach who uses voice science to help singers break through plateaus without the frustration.

No rigid methods.

No one-size-fits-all.

Just clear, evidence-based coaching tailored to how you actually learn.

Our Philosophy

Singing should feel powerful, not frustrating.

​

Most vocal training treats every student the same. You get handed a method and told to make it work.

 

If it does not click, that is your problem.

​

I do it differently.

​

I use a flexible toolkit of techniques - primarily drawn from Estill Voice Training - that I adapt to you.

 

Your goals. Your voice. Your learning style.

​

If you are neurodivergent, I get it.

 

I will not give you vague instructions and expect you to "feel" your way through.

 

I will explain what is happening in your body, why it matters, and provide concrete exercises you can practise.

​

If you have had bad experiences with lessons before, you are not alone.

 

A lot of my students come to me frustrated, thinking they are "not musical" or "tone deaf."

 

Usually, they just had the wrong teacher.

​

This is a no-judgment space.

 

I will go at your pace.

 

I focus on what you want to achieve.

I do not teach "my way." I teach you to understand your own instrument so you can make informed choices about your voice.

Meet Sam

I am a contemporary vocal coach based in Craigieburn, Melbourne.

 

My teaching is built on voice science, real performance experience, and a deep understanding of how neurodivergent brains learn.

​

I am neurodivergent myself - diagnosed with ASD and ADHD.

 

This is not a marketing angle.

​

It is the reason I coach the way I do.

​

I spent years in singing lessons that did not work for me.

 

Vague instructions. "Just feel it." Teachers who could not explain why something worked.

 

I know how frustrating it is to be told you are "not getting it" when the real problem is how it is being taught.

​

That frustration led me to voice science.

 

I wanted to understand the mechanics - what is actually happening in your body when you sing.

 

Once I understood that, everything changed.

 

Now, I teach the way I wish someone had taught me:

 

clearly, logically, and with respect for how your brain works.
