  • Musical Performance Anxiety (MPA) is prevalent within the performing arts industry and can affect performers at all levels, from students to seasoned professionals. Performance Anxiety (PA) or “stage fright” is also common for speakers and sports people, especially when stepping out of familiar surroundings and moving into higher pressure settings. By understanding the symptoms of PA and learning effective strategies to manage them, performers can develop greater confidence, resilience, and consistency both in rehearsal and in the arena. Performance coaching provides a supportive environment to explore the psychological and physiological responses connected to anxiety, helping individuals feel more in control of their performance experience.

    Through evidence-based approaches including breathwork, mindset training, nervous system regulation, and performance preparation strategies, performers can learn how to channel nerves in a productive way rather than feeling overwhelmed by them. The goal is not to eliminate adrenaline completely, but to build the tools and self-awareness needed to perform with freedom, authenticity, and enjoyment under pressure.

  • Vocal health is an essential part of sustainable singing and long-term vocal performance. Whether you are a professional singer, vocal student, teacher, speaker, or performer, understanding how to care for your voice can help prevent vocal fatigue, strain, hoarseness, and injury.

    Healthy vocal technique, efficient breathing patterns, hydration, recovery strategies, and lifestyle habits all play an important role in maintaining vocal stamina, vocal resilience, and overall vocal wellbeing.

    Through evidence-based vocal coaching and vocal health education, singers can develop greater awareness of how the voice functions and learn practical strategies to support vocal longevity and performance confidence. Sessions may explore vocal technique, breathing for singers, performance preparation, nervous system regulation, and vocal habilitation support, helping performers optimise vocal performance while protecting the health and flexibility of the singing voice.

    Kate has a special interest in providing strategies for vocalists who are impacted by the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
