“Fine-tune your voice and performance to communicate with passion and confidence.”
I spent over 20 years touring as a classical soloist, singing in front of full houses all over the world and recording under pressure for Hollywood blockbuster movies. That experience is invaluable in helping clients who want to dive deep into exploring artistry and imagination in singing, and learn how to make the most of their voice and performance. I also help clients who want to find out more about keeping their voice in best health or embark on a rehabilitation journey with me after vocal injury.

Coaching and Teaching
Coaching and teaching have always been a huge part of my career alongside the performing and touring. I have always had a fascination for the voice and how it works functionally, as well as the psychology of performance, and I have been fortunate enough to work with top level organisations as a coach and teacher.
Confident Performance
My years touring and recording as a soloist and session singer with some of the world’s finest orchestras and conductors, have taught me a vast amount about performing under pressure. I sang on the soundtracks of Hollywood blockbusters like Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Kung Fu Panda and many more, and I know first-hand how to combat the stress and pressure of an intense performing environment. I keep up to date with evidence-based counselling strategies and psychological programmes that can help combat anxiety around performance.
Speaking and Presenting
I have trained with top specialists in spoken and singing voice coaching and work with corporate clients and individuals from all backgrounds, including politicians, businesspeople and actors, helping them to find the best way to land their message with impact and a natural, authentic style.
Vocal Rehabilitation
Perhaps it was inevitable that my interest in the function of the voice and anatomy has led me to working as a Vocal Rehabilitation Specialist. This means I work alongside clinical practitioners to help people who have suffered vocal injury rebuild their voice. I am trained in manual therapy and fundamental anatomy, but like to look at the whole person, and never just the mechanics of the voice in isolation. Somatic work, counselling referrals, and where appropriate, working with a team of professionals with complementary skills are key to my practice. I do not work in isolation but refer to a team, or colleagues in my field for support to help my clients on their vocal journey.

“Nicki managed to resolve several longterm issues.”
“After a long break from singing professionally, I returned to lessons with Nicki. My voice was very stuck, unable to access the top register with no agility or stamina. Not only has Nicki managed to resolve these problems but she has also resolved several longterm issues that no other teachers from my professional career managed to guide me through. I’m now able to sing phrases which were a huge challenge to me just two years ago and even enjoy them!”
Emilia Lacy – Former professional opera singer
