How to Discover Your Golden Voice
25 May 2026
I work a lot with people who aren’t happy about their voice when talking with friends, colleagues, strangers – anybody, really. And they’re even more concerned about how they come across speaking to a group. Being able to communicate well, one on one, is a precious skill. I can help you with that. Making everyone […]

There’s a whole stack of composers who left behind unfinished symphonies. The best known one is probably Schubert, but Beethoven, Wagner, Sibelius and many other famous musicians didn’t complete their works before they shuffled off this mortal coil.

Recently I put up a blog about how it’s possible to have your eyes opened to new methods and thoughts […]

Am I a voice and communication teacher? A celebrant-presentation tutor? Maybe a vocal coach? (I’d love to work with someone called Meg – then I could say I’m a Meghan Trainer!) * A mixture of those titles would do, but there’s another ingredient in the celebrant mix: your personality! Voice, communication and personality are inextricably […]

I love my job. Well, jobs, really! I’ve been mad keen on singing since I was a teenager – but that’s for another day. I’m also a voice coach, specialising in working with celebrants and celebrants in training. I have a heck of a lot of suggestions to offer which can help you to considerably […]
