Singing with microphones

When singing for pleasure – do you …

  • Sing effortlessly in the car or shower & freeze in front of others?
  • Tense when you go for the big or high notes?
  • Not know how to control your breath for a better sound?
  • Run out of breath when singing longer lines?
  • Fear your voice cracking when you go for the high notes?
  • Ever feel that singing & performing was for ‘real singers’?
  • Believe your voice isn’t good enough yet you’ve always wanted to sing?

Deep down would you love to try singing with a microphone, maybe perform in front of others & find your own unique voice & style? If you answer yes to some of these questions, then read on!

Rachel Waters Vocal Coach

Your singing retreat coach Rachel Waters

Rachel is a passionate vocal coach and ‘singing for wellbeing’ practitioner. Having been coaching for 10 years, Rachel has supported singers of all ages, experiences and backgrounds.

Whilst studying BA Hons in Popular Music and Recording at Salford University, Rachel’s interest in understanding the voice grew. She began to research training to learn from some of the best voice experts in the UK and ultimately champion others in their singing experience.

Now Rachel specialises in guiding singers to find their own unique gifts, grow in confidence and cultivate a singing experience that works for them.

Rachel is an absolute pleasure to work with- she’s great at taking the time to explain each technique, so that not only do you know how to do it, but also why it will help your voice. I genuinely feel like my confidence improves with each lesson! Jess

Even though I’ve only had a couple of sessions with Rachel, she’s been amazing! I feel like she’s helped me improve my technique, and confidence! Everything about the sessions has been great, from warm-ups to post gig check-ins. Tom

I’ve had both solo singing lessons and group sessions with Rachel, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of them. My main goal was to become more confident in my own singing ability. Rachel and her coaching skills has definitely helped with that. Alex
