VOCAL LESSON - 30 MINUTES

This program is an excellent entry point for beginners, individuals looking to explore singing, and advanced students seeking a comprehensive vocal technique review. For vocalists aged 12 and under, an audition and assessment are required before being accepted into lessons. This assessment helps us understand how well the student comprehends instructions and their current vocal awareness, ensuring the best possible learning experience.

VOCAL LESSON - 60 MINUTES

This program is designed for intermediate to advanced vocalists who are aspiring to pursue academic opportunities in Music, Voice, or Music Theatre. It is particularly advantageous for those currently engaged in performances, as well as for vocalists who seek to preserve their vocal health and stamina during theatrical productions.

AUDITION COACHING - 60/90MINUTES

Audition coaching is a comprehensive service that addresses the multifaceted components of singing, acting, and dancing in preparation for an upcoming audition, including call-back material. This service encompasses song selection, vocal cut preparation, and the arrangement of sheet music, as well as video recording/editing/studio space for digital auditions. The coaching may require one to three sessions to ensure thorough preparation.

Performance Reviews

  • Sarahlouise Younger (Marcus Lycus) has the best contralto range I have heard for a long time, and from the moment she sang three solo words, I was captured by the beauty of her voice;

    Classic Melbourne - Music and Reviews

  • Sarahlouise Younger leaves no doubt as to why she’s been in every show Chris Wallace has produced in Melbourne. She is simply sensational.

    Theatre Press

  • The performance of the night is the gospel anthem ‘Deeper’, performed by Younger. Backed by the rest of the ensemble, this song perfectly displays Younger’s soaring range and insane levels of rich vocal tone and volume.
