Finding the right vocal coach is key to unlocking your full potential.
Nicki’s own singing career taught her the value of using good singing technique.
Nicki Rogers is an accomplished singer songwriter, who has recorded three critically acclaimed solo albums. She has 17 years extensive teaching experience coaching in theatre schools and higher education to degree level. Her teaching experience covers all contemporary vocal genres. She is happy to confess to being a voice geek.
Her interest in the science of the voice as well as the psyche of the performer has lead her to embark on an MA in Voice Pedagogy and she regularly attends training conferences and courses on all aspects of voice pedagogy. She studied with BAST in 2020 in order to further her teacher training and is trained in level 1 and 2 of the Estill method. She is also a qualified life coach after training with Achievement Specialists in 2007.

“Nicki quickly identified the weaker areas in my voice, and set a program with exercises to strengthen my ability. This has made an enormous difference to my voice, as well as giving me a huge confidence boost.”

Technique
There’s a term we’ve all heard, and yet in reality when it comes to the singing voice, many students have been left in the dark when it comes to how a voice actually works. Nicki teaches vocal technique based on the science of the voice which excitingly is ever evolving at this time. With understanding of HOW to change your voice through exercises and practice and the right balance of imagery, auditory and kinaesthetic learning you will know the what’s, how’s why’s of your voice.
Performance
The multifaceted aspect of performance is something that Nicki understands from personal experience. What is it that makes a performance special? How do we overcome nerves, or in some cases real anxiety of performing? How do we tie up what we present with who we are? Nicki has undertaken ‘Acceptance and Commitment coaching’ training and has studied music performance anxiety as part of her training and uses several well regarded techniques to help you reach your performing potential.
Artist development
A singer’s most important asset is their unique voice as an artist. It’s something that makes you more than just a great singer. Finding your unique voice and identity as an artist is an unfolding life-long process. As a mentor, Nicki can help you understand the fundamental principles and explore that journey with you. Whether it is style development, writing, performance skills or overcoming performance anxiety Nicki can help you find your inner artist.
