“Patrick is great! In just a few lessons, he helped me unlock my voice and rediscover my love for singing. I had been practising bad habits for years which Patrick picked up on straight away (over Zoom too!) and helped me find a voice I never knew I had. Not only that, his lessons are really fun. His tuition is clear and also really visual which helps keep things relaxed. I could not recommend him highly enough”
COACHING CIRCLE
I work with a wonderful circle of singers and performers to support their professional development with voice, audition and career coaching. Whether musical theatre performers, singer-songwriters, classical artists or young performers, our strong focus on vocal technique ensures the best musical outcomes and vocal health.
We will work on developing your casting profile, with songs, monologues, rep books, self-tapes and showreels. I will help you to select repertoire that showcases your casting and even direct your self-tape, to ensure you are audition-ready and making your best impression in the room.
Lessons can be scheduled at my home studio in East London, or around the world via Zoom. I have established an effective online practice and coached clients across 7 timezones: UK, Europe, America, UAE, China, New Zealand and Australia.

He is a great coach and a wonderful person to work with. I couldn’t recommend him enough!” - Tuğçe, United Arab Emirates
“Patrick is my vocal saviour! As someone who always wanted to understand the voice better and learn how to sing but was always afraid, Patrick brought out the confidence in me to test my range. He is encouraging, kind, patient and filled with so much knowledge that I leave each lesson craving more. He allows me to make mistakes and try new things without judgement and he will always find unique ways to get out of vocal ruts. If you are looking to strengthen your voice, gain confidence, and understand vocal technique all while having fun then Patrick is your teacher.” - Marina, Actor & Voice Over Artist, Canada
