VOICE WORK
FOR REAL LIFE
NOT PERFORMANCE
When I first asked Lily to sing, her voice was so quiet I could barely hear her say she didn’t know what to sing. Her uncle had brought her to the workshop, hoping it would encourage her to start singing again after years of silence.
To help ease her nerves about singing in front of others, I began with rhythm exercises. Then, I asked her to repeat some simple vocalizations after me. With each repetition, you can see her confidence grow and her voice become stronger.
When she focused on moving her body and mimicking my actions, she became so distracted that she stopped thinking about singing. That’s when her voice naturally flowed without any restrictions.
This technique helps bypass your inner critic—what I call your 'mean twin'—and allows your authentic voice to shine through, just as Lily did.
BEFORE & AFTER:
This is an example of
Voice Work results.
This is Cliff's Voice Transformation
When Cliff reached out, he had a goal in mind: he wanted to play live but had never sung before, and he was also just starting to play guitar.
He didn't know how to find his voice and his style. But the biggest issue was that, trying by himself, he was forcing his voice so much that he started experiencing tension, a sore throat, and losing his voice — a huge problem for a rugby coach during the day and a wannabe performer at night.
Our Voice Work Facilitator, Plinny Phoenix, worked with him on breathing techniques, singing effortlessly, rhythm, and vowel resonance. Watch the video on the left and see for yourself what happened after taking the singing lessons with her.

TESTIMONIALS
-
Dylan - Sound Engineer and Musician"Before working with Plinny I was singing with a lot of tension which was creating pain in my throat. Now after working with her I don't have this problem anymore and I have more control over my voice.
I also learned how to unlock my head voice which I had struggled with in the past and how to sing with my chest voice in the correct way. As well as how to belt in a safe manner.
I'd recommend Plinny to anyone who's looking to take the next step towards becoming a great singer! "
-
Jack Curran - College Student"I'll be honest at first I wasn't sure, but after doing the exercises for a couple weeks my vocal range has expanded so much, going up by an octave.
I feel so much more confident in my singing now than ever before.
Thanks Plinny. "
-
Patrick - 72 years old - Ireland"For years I thought that I could not sing and this bothered me a lot as I would love to sing but would never dare to do so in public. So I decided to start lessons to see if I could or could not sing. Right from my first lesson with Plinny she gave me the assurance and confidence I needed to start my journey during which I have learned so much about myself and my voice. The transformation has been amazing: "I CAN SING!".
I certainly recommend Plinny to anyone who thinks they cannot sing and would love to because after a singing course with Plinny like me you will be singing at every oppurtunity. "
