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.
Talking about energy vibration and what that brings to the space and the body and the person - you don't see those things in contrast - you see them as a part of a whole, not only in who you are, but in who the other person is that you're interacting with. And I've always appreciated your ability to recognize that who you are, the energy you bring, has the ability to change someone else. And the energy that they bring changes them too.
I appreciate you using the term magic. What is the magic? It is that energy. And a lot of the work that we do misses that. I would agree, as someone who spends my life in clinics and working with people who have varying levels of pathology present, the work is often missing the magic. Yeah - we have a lot of know-how. We have a lot of data, we have a lot of pictures, we have a lot of images, and it's missing the magic. So there's something special about that. It is the special quality that is difficult to learn if you're not open to it. You are lapping up all of the knowledge. Easy peasy. Yeah. Take more and more and more and more - but you have the magic….I would just want to say that you are a superstar.
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.
All the activities were beneficial. My favourites were the Hoberman sphere and call and response. These were 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 that this feels like a miracle. The awareness that it was hard to sing (having a caught sensation in my neck ) to just the joy of singing with ease was amazing
