Alida

I am a Certified Mentor Voice Instructor and have spend the last two decades focusing my education and advancing my training in contemporary voice instruction. I have coached singers and voice users from all levels in 1:1 sessions for 15+ years. I have taught group classes for over 20 years.

As a singer and musician myself, my experience includes being a recording artist, musical theatre performer as well as experience in film and TV and voice over work.

‍To this day, I continue to train my voice and study the art of voice teaching with my mentors.

I've studied voice in New York City, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. I have worked with and consulted with some of the world’s top groundbreaking voice experts including Seth Riggs, Greg Enriquez, Wendy Parr, Raab Stevenson, Mindy Pack, and my long-time mentor, Spencer Welch.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to enrol in professional development courses and attend many voice conferences. These have provided me with the latest education on singing technique, voice science, vocal health and performance.

Recently I've launched new courses and a podcast! I continue to deliver content on my YouTube and social media pages.

Singing should feel balanced, powerful and expressive.

The vocal technique that I teach is based on the founding principles of vocal technique – bel canto which means “beautiful singing” – adapted for modern day contemporary singers.

Training in this technique gives the singer, no matter the style, access to all dynamics, with tonal clarity and flexibility. Also, training in this technique helps improve a singer’s range, endurance, stamina, breath management, resonance, vocal strength and quality across all styles of music without fatigue or damage to the voice.
