Public speaking is one of our greatest fears. Yet our voice is one of our most important tools of communication. If our voice is not pleasant to listen to we will be ignored. Learning how to make the most of our voices can help us to get back into the driving seat of our presentations and stop us feeling like a victim. Your Sound vocal training and exercises can have an enormous impact not only on the way we come across to others but also on the way we feel about ourselves.
“I have found the vocal sessions extremely helpful in increasing my confidence when speaking in public. I walked into Laurelle’s room feeling flat and low on energy. By the time we had finished stretching and doing some wonderful breathing exercises I was already beginning to feel more grounded and relaxed in my body. The warm up exercises got me into the swing of things and were all good fun. I used my lips and mouth in ways I wouldn’t normally and freed up my clenched jaw.” T.M. Berkshire
“I always walk away from the sessions full of energy and self confidence.” L.S. Buckinghamshire
“Laurelle has bags of experience, a lovely and supportive teaching style and is hugely encouraging.” E.S. Oxfordshire
“Laurelle has taught me that when you let go of your inhibitions anything is possible.” A.H. Oxfordshire
Cost – £50 for a one hour lesson. Book six and only pay for five.
Singing Lessons
If you are looking for one-to-one intensives, then private coaching is for you.
We are born with a voice that is designed to help keep us healthy by singing. Unfortunately, many of us stop singing when we leave primary school. Learning how to sing can be a life changing experience, releasing us from all sorts of blockages. It is great fun and also a good physical workout.
For those who wish to improve their vocal technique and repertoire up to all standards, Your Sound singing lessons will take you on a wonderful journey through music of all styles. Your Sound singing lessons will also coach you through auditions, stage plays and opera.
“What a brilliant teacher, singer, supporter and encourager you are!” L.S. Buckinghamshire
“I always thought that I couldn’t sing, but thanks to Laurelle I feel that actually I can and moreover doing it makes me feel really good.” L.O. Middlesex

“It took me 69 years to realise that I could sing! Thank you, Laurelle!” A.H. Oxfordshire
“I would recommend anyone who loves the sound of their own voice, or should I say, would love to love the sound of their voice, to give it a try. Laurelle can enable you to sing.” P.B. Oxfordshire
“Laurelle teaches in a friendly and comforting environment, she makes you feel at ease from your first lesson. She will always push you to try your hardest and will challenge you to help you improve. I very much enjoy my singing lessons and found a voice I never knew I had thanks to her. She’s a truly brilliant teacher.” H.C. Oxfordshire

Voice Therapy
You have a unique sound designed to keep you healthy, communicate with others and express yourself. If you are told that your voice is not good enough, you soon learn to limit it to a fraction of its power, believing that only those with exceptional talent should speak or sing in public.
This belief denies you one of your most valuable gifts. Your Sound offers specific techniques which can free your mind of such limiting beliefs so that you can rediscover your voice’s unique sound.
“Voice therapy with Laurelle has to be the best food for my soul I have found to date!” L.S. Buckinghamshire
“Laurelle really helped me to rediscover my voice, which I’d not let out in front of anyone else for years! For Laurelle, the voice is part of the whole person, and being encouraged and guided by her is a very uplifting experience that makes singing feel as if it’s the most natural and joyful thing in the world to do. She’s a highly talented singer and musician herself and yet has the rare ability to carry her talent lightly, enabling others to shine just as brightly. Singing with her has had huge benefits on my sense of well being as well as a direct and positive impact on reducing my stress levels. If you want to liberate your voice I’d highly recommend you see Laurelle.” L.A. Oxfordshire
I look forward to helping you discover your beautiful voice.
