Your Voice Teacher

Lea Baker

Hi! I help singers find their freely produced, efficient and authentic voice. With 20+ years experience in teaching voice and an MFA in voice (NIDA) I teach with a solid understanding of the science and physiology of the voice, but approach teaching in a non technical way. My specialty is helping vocalists find vocal freedom, range, accuracy, and delivering an authentic performance.

​ Navigating the vocal registers, the so called "chest" , "head" & "mixed" voice, is an area I'm passionate about - helping students feel one voice moving effortlessly through these.

​ Students discover vocal ease through the use of natural, organic, instinctive vocalisations and embodying sound. Like actors do!

My courses involve physical and vocal explorations, positive reinforcement and lots of encouragement. :)

​ I believe ‘trying harder’ nearly always leads to vocal difficulties due to unnecessary muscle tension. When vocalists discover the power and range and EASE of instinctive sounds, coupled with physical freedom, they grow in confidence and ease - often discovering the voice they didn’t know they had!

The programme reinforced everything I have learnt at rehearsals and in my two singing lessons with Lea. It has helped with my breathing in particular and the use of air without forcing the sound. There is so much to learn and I love that I can go back and do the exercises. It is very easy to follow. Thank you

Testimonials

From students

Thorough & informative

Lynne Willis

What an awesome experience this has been. The online training was thorough, informative and very helpful. Having never had formal singing lessons before I found it really interesting and inspiring. Thank you Lea!

5 Stars!

Joyce Liang

It took me years of learning the right way to do this and you summed it up perfectly in under half an hour! Thank you! 5 stars!

Well paced

Louise Brannon

There was so much good information in this session. I love the way you present your lessons. You have a lovely speaking voice and it is well paced. It's really good that you have the exercises separate so members can go back afterwards and just do those exercises if they want to. And of course a little quiz is always great. Can't wait for the next session.

The Penny Dropped!

Lynda Baxter

I have learned so much from this course. Lea, your explanation on various topics just made the penny drop as, I have not quite understood a lot of my teachings over the years. You have made things so much simpler for me to understand and I am now able to actually put those teachings into good quality practice. Thanks so much Lea
