In their own words.
A few reflections from people I've worked with — singers, speakers, teachers, and colleagues in the field.
You just are… such a role model actually. You are the most sunshiny person.
All the activities were beneficial. My favourites were the Hoberman sphere and call-and-response — the two activities that helped me get out of my own way.
With the Hoberman sphere my focus changed. I became aware of how stressed I am psychologically about having vocal cord palsy — but that stress was decreased by the change of focus. I remember thinking, this feels like a miracle. The awareness moved from it being hard to sing (a caught sensation in my neck) to the joy of singing with ease. It was amazing.
As a junior infant teacher, I was really struggling after developing nodules on my vocal cords — my voice had become weak and hoarse, and I was frequently losing it altogether. Because my voice is such a vital part of my work, I felt stuck.
Working with Trish was a complete turning point. She was incredibly empathetic and immediately understood the challenges I was facing. Even after just one session, I noticed an immediate improvement. I've made huge progress and feel much more confident managing my voice.
I couldn't recommend Trish highly enough as a vocal coach. She creates such a friendly, supportive and encouraging approach to lessons, whilst also giving clear, practical guidance. Her expertise and techniques are amazing, and the time and support she dedicates even beyond lessons is remarkable.
I needed help with my speaking and singing due to post-surgery issues, and Trish's advice and support was second to none. I always leave lessons feeling motivated and excited for the next one.
You don't see energy and vibration as separate from the person — you see them as part of a whole. You have the ability to recognise that who you are, the energy you bring, changes someone else. And the energy they bring changes them too.
A lot of the work we do misses the magic. We have a lot of know-how, a lot of data, a lot of images — and it's missing the magic. You have the magic. You are a superstar.
