Voice Work

VW in Health

Voice Work in Education is a service offering schools across the North West bespoke training on verbal and related communication skills. Training is delivered via workshops and one-to-one work. Timings are arranged to work with individual school's timetables. Please contact us, or call us for an initial discussion over the telephone and book an appointment to discuss in more depth. 07857 300362, or email kellyATvoice-work.co.uk

Workshops for staff and students

The workshops are delivered with an emphasis on healthy voice use and effective verbal communication skills. There are two main workshops, one for educational staff and one for the students.

Staff workshops focus on the need to not only use their voices to motivate, educate and inspire, but also how to last through the working day and each term!

The student workshops focus on building self-esteem and further developing good verbal communication. Activities work on developing speaking and listening skills through the use of movement, narrative and music. These workshops are designed to help promote general well-being in tandem with developing social skills and learning strategies.

One-to-one Sessions for staff and students

One-to-one voice work with students and staff is great for whatever their personal and professional development needs are. Group work is fantastic for covering general work with small/medium groups and one-to-one work is great for working on individual enhancement of voice (eg. for a special presentation) or development of more personal verbal communication skills. Therefore, you can book Voice Work for a whole or half day to come and work with your students and/or staff to help them with their personal or professional verbal and related development goals. These sessions generally take place during the school day and are very affordable. Contact us, or call us on 07857300362 to find out more.

I have been so lucky to work with some amazing students with so much talent.

They have also had some lovely things to say about my services...

"I would recommend Kelly, without hesitation, to anyone (both children and adults) who would not only like to improve their singing voice but also with help in raising confidence levels. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her lessons with Kelly and has progressed from a nervous and shy singer to someone who can confidently perform at the concerts which Kelly holds for students, family and friends each year."

"Kelly is very encouraging and supportive, and a true professional. She has a great deal of experience and draws on this to find the best solution for the student."

I Just couldn't resist sharing this comment from Sophie...

"Thank you, Kelly for giving me the ever bestest singing lesson ever in the world!"

Sophie, aged 9

"Having been a member of a large choir performing some of the great choral classics, I found that I was straining my voice and having difficulties at certain pitches. I felt for a long time that some kind of voice training was needed and Kelly Anne certainly fulfilled the role I was seeking. The course of lessons was fun and the benefits great. I gained more understanding of my voice and how to care for it. My singing voice is now stronger and I feel more confident singing. Thank you."

Margaret Spencer,

"I am a singer and worship leader at Inglewhite Church. This role has not come naturally to me and I lacked confidence. I contacted Kelly after receiving a flyer through my door. I don't normally respond to flyers but after checking out Kelly's qualifications on her website, I thought I would give Voice Work a try.

After a course with Kelly, I have found my improved breathing has also improved my singing and with some simple spoken voice exercises, I am now speaking more clearly. She explained the anatomy and how voice works to me in really simple terms and I have learned how important it is to reduce throat tension and relax!

Kelly's knowledge of speaking and singing has really helped me not just sound better but grow in confidence too.I have already passed her details on to a friend who has now booked a course for herself."

Gayle Bartlett,
Garstang / September 2011

"My daughter (aged 16) started singing lessons with Kelly in 2010. Her performance confidence has soared since then and she has learnt lots of new voice techniques and breathing exercises. Kelly’s lessons are informal in style so that the student feels very at ease and her comments are always constructive and positive. Kelly has a good understanding of which type of song suits a student best, but she does also ask them to try other types of music as well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kelly as a voice coach."

Liz Dixon,
Preston / September 2011

"Before I had my first lesson with Kelly, I found it very difficult to sing in front of anyone. Kelly understood and with her help and encouragement my confidence has really improved, both in singing and speaking. Thank you for helping me!"

Julie, aged 39
Garstang / May 2011

"I love my singing lessons!"

Saul, aged 10

"Kelly has really helped me control my breathing when I am singing and my nerves before I go on stage for a show. I really enjoy having Kelly as my singing teacher. She has taught me how to warm up which will save and protect my voice and how to use my diaphragm and to sing safely."

Chloe, aged 13
December 2010

"Lessons with Kelly are fun and diverse. She listens to what I want and supplies it. Kelly is great at coming up with suggestions for songs and instructing me in not only technical singing but also in performing. Full of tips and techniques with plenty of review so that I always remember what I am supposed to be doing!"

Your voice is one of your most effective tools in communicating effectively within business and social situations. Why do we invest so little in them?

Voice coaching teaches people how to use and care for their voice in a healthy, safe way in order to improve its effectiveness and, of course, to sound great. For some voice coaching will just be about learning to speak well in order to get through their working day without getting a sore throat at the end of it. For others voice coaching will also incorporate the performance aspects of speech and presentation. Our services cater for the needs of each individual or group that we work with.

Voice Work was founded in 2010 by Kelly Anne Sharp who has worked in a cross section of industries including sales, vocal performance, coaching and Speech and Language Therapy. She has worked with voices for over 20 years and often hear people say that they wish they could just learn how to use their voice more effectively. Whether it is for the benefit of singing, public speaking, teaching, presentations, or for use within their personal lives each one of these people can benefit from voice coaching.

Kelly Anne founded Voice Work to promote healthy voice use and to work with clients to develop vocal and related non-verbal skills for both personal and professional development. Our passion is in empowering clients to use their voice in a more effective manner thus increasing confidence and enhancing performance.
