Coaching

“Laura is WONDERFUL. She brings the best out in singers with a combination of meticulous preparation and attention to detail with a flexibility of approach while being incredibly supportive and encouraging, allowing the singer to try, discover, play and develop. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough.”

- Philippa, Soprano

As a director, I am passionate about empowering singers to give their best performances, and that’s true whether I’m in a rehearsal room, a workshop, or working one-to-one.

I offer workshops and bespoke individual support for auditions (in-personal and digital), role preparation, concerts, filmed performances and much more. My approach is tailored to the individual, with the aim not only of facilitating detailed text and character work on the singer’s chosen repertoire, but also sending each performer away with a deeper understanding of their own strengths as an artist.

What’s on offer?

One-To-One Coaching

Whether you’d like a one-off coaching to polish up a single song or aria, or a series of sessions to tackle your audition repertoire or dig a little deeper into aspects of your performance technique or approach, I’m here to help you grow in skill and confidence. All of my one-to-one coaching is 100% bespoke for each performer, so let me know what your goals are and I can put something unique together for you.

Coachings can be offered via Zoom or in person at my home in York.

“It felt like a real privilege to work with Laura – she created a learning environment which not only encouraged my sense of creative curiosity and risk-taking, but which allowed me to drop my guard and sing from a place of vulnerability and authenticity. I’m really looking forward to working with her again.”
— CN, Mezzo-Soprano
“Every singer should take the opportunity to work with Laura Attridge. She is warm, engaged and empathetic and clearly values singers and the work they do. Laura provides a toolkit of tangible techniques and fosters a creative, non judgemental space where singers can stop reaching for the elusive perfection and discover a character with their body, breath and being. She is intuitive, observant and completely present enabling the singer to find the courage to share their own artistry and their own story.”
— Annie, Soprano
"I felt like Laura gave me my creative voice back and gave me permission to go with my instincts. So often we are told to fit a certain mould and are not encouraged to explore how individuals see the world differently. Laura’s coaching was the total opposite of this, it felt powerful and important to bring my individual experience to the character and the outcome was really beautiful and unexpected. All in all, Laura nurtured my self-worth and I can’t say thank you enough for her helping me find myself again."
— Elly, Soprano
“Laura’s consistent energy and enthusiasm in my sessions with her were truly infectious. I felt empowered to take risks and experiment with new techniques without any fear of judgement. Laura is clearly committed to what she does and her enjoyment for passing on knowledge is palpable!”
— Christopher, Tenor
“My sessions with Laura gave me lots of confidence, as well as many useful, practical tools for improving my performance on stage. The sessions were well-structured and well-prepared, so I came out with lots of new ideas and suggestions that I can continue to work on. Laura is engaging and energising, and the sessions felt safe and non-judgemental.”
— Carolyn, Mezzo-Soprano
