Previous attempts at voice coaching has sometimes felt like being told what my voice ‘should’ be, but with Hannah-Rose I’ve been able to find my voice, that is personal and authentic to me.
I am already being gendered correctly more and more, and whilst any voice coaching is a journey, I am blown away by how much progress I’ve been able to make with these sessions.” S

–“I have a lot more conscious awareness of how to manipulate different aspects of my voice.” Anonymous participant.
-“Hannah-Rose is accommodating and is always making sure the exercises not just meet the task at hand, but also suit the person, both in technique and in the feeling and sensation behind them. there have been excercises that have felt weird to me tactilely and Hannah-Rose had no problem stopping that excercise and finding alternatives.” Lily.
-“Hannah-Rose has been a legend!! I came in with 2 main goals, to extend my vocal range, as well as have a less breathy, more connected voice in the higher registers. The sessions have already helped improve this drastically in only a few sessions. Hannah-Rose is calm and goes at your own pace, with exercises to suit the individual. There have been a few things i haven’t felt comfortable doing, and they immediately think of alternatives. They are also very good at improvising exercises that suit me so that it feels like a very personal regime. In my short time, i have gained a lot of confidence in my voice, and although I still have a long way to go, the sessions i have had have been very beneficial to me. Soon i will be performing in front of others, which was something i didn’t expect to do for a long time, and a lot of that came from the confidence and encouragement Hannah-Rose has offered.” Lily
