Hey there!

I’m Chris Nolan,

a specialist voice trainer for music theatre singers, actors, and dancers. I’ve been teaching for nearly 20 years, across Australia, the UK, and Europe.

Since graduating from a ground-breaking Masters degree combining Singing and Spoken Voice Practice at the Guildford School of Acting I’ve been at the forefront of evidence-informed voice training ever since, from the UK to Australia, where I’m completing PhD research on teaching professional dancers to sing.

I’ve travelled all over and worked with some of the world’s greatest singers. Grammy Award winning artists, Hollywood Actors, Broadway and West End leads, and other voice teachers, trust me with their voices. It’s a pretty great job.

What people are saying

  • “I have loved every single lesson I have had. The wealth of knowledge you are able to share is unmatched, and your kindness and encouragement coupled with that allow for an incredible environment prone to producing only the best work out of students. I can confidently say that I am a better singer because of the time I have spent in our lessons, and I am a better human from the care you pour in. I am so unbelievably grateful for every worry you’ve curved, every note you’ve corrected and every wisdom you’ve shared. Thank you a million times over.”

  • “Not only is Chris’s teaching ever-evolving, as he is regularly educating himself with new techniques, but he also applies them to singing as a whole, and not just to specific styles. In a single lesson I have found myself singing Queen, Puccini, Jersey Boys and Weill, and Chris has been able to help me both technically navigate these styles, and work on the colours that are necessary to convincingly perform music in a range of genres.”

  • “When I came to Chris for the first time my voice was so locked up from anxiety and even after working professionally as a singer for years, I still didn't quite have a grasp on how to use my voice effectively and to my advantage. Chris' super power is learning how his students think and then finding a way to communicate with them in their own vocal language. This is what he did with me. He found a way to calm my mind and navigate my voice which helped me regain my confidence and explore an entirely new part of my voice. I credit Chris for helping me to unlock the versatility in my voice and for getting me through 8 gruelling shows a week. I really couldn't and wouldn't do it without him."

  • “Working with Chris over the past few years has led to consistent improvement in my singing. Chris possesses a profound understanding of the human body and tailors each lesson to my specific needs. Additionally, my confidence has significantly improved under Chris's guidance, allowing me to perform with greater assurance. The studio membership has been fantastic, providing additional resources like the voice gym, various performance opportunities, and the chance to connect with other students."

  • "I have been working with Chris one on one since 2017 and it has completely changed my voice. Not only does Chris have invaluable knowledge but he is able to pass that knowledge on in an approachable way. This has given me the tools to understand my voice intimately and be able to troubleshoot/maintain my technique on my own. He has instilled confidence in me as a singer while still constantly pushing me forward to develop my skills. It is extremely refreshing to have a teacher who is constantly learning more about what they do. As someone who has had a lot of anxiety around my voice and singing, Chris has a way of making lessons investigative and fun which has completely shifted my mindset going into a lesson. Never in a million years could I have anticipated the way my career would unfold due to the consistent work and care of Chris and I could not recommend him more."

  • "The work I've done with Chris has been invaluable! He has completely unlocked my voice; enabling me to discover a new found freedom and confidence when singing that I didn't have prior to working with him. Seemingly with the answers to any vocal related issues or questions I may have, every session is incredibly helpful, and incredibly enjoyable! I already have, and will continue to recommend Chris as a teacher to any performer I cross paths with."

  • “My lessons with Chris over the years have been truly life changing - I always leave a better singer and person than when I started. He is understanding and supportive of my ever-changing vocal journey and has given me the tools to be versatile in my career. I’m forever grateful for his genius mind and genuine care for his students.”

  • “Chris is one of the rare few teachers that not only understands the voice but understands that every student and their relationship with singing is completely different. His skill and immense knowledge of the voice and the body is incredibly and taught in a way that is so exciting for a singer. It’s his desire and dedication to continue his own learning that enables his students to constantly achieve their vocal goals - you will always walk out of every lesson with something new!”

  • “The work I have done with Chris has honestly changed my whole perception of the voice. Everything is explained in such a simple and tangible way and it makes singing super fun and interesting. His teaching style is so holistic and his knowledge of the voice and the body is incredible. Thank you Chris!”

  • “ Chris is unlike any teacher I’ve ever worked with. He has this unfathomable wealth of knowledge that encompasses everything and more. He’s an expert in everything from style, audition techniques and repertoire to vocal anatomy, physiology and vocal health. There truly isn’t a question that can’t be answered by Chris. Not only is he the most skilled teacher I’ve ever had the privilege of collaborating with but he is an absolute joy learn from, his delightful and infectious energy creates an incredibly safe space for his students to try, fail and try again. He knows how to perfectly nurture this vulnerable art form and my lessons with him are my favourite part of every week.”
