Gillian Ramm: highly specialised singing teacher and vocal health coach.

You are not just a larynx.

My teaching is underpinned by the philosophy that anyone can improve their singing if they can find a teacher that supports them in a way that is curious, compassionate and constructive. Let’s play!

I named my business All Voice because you are all of your voice and your voice is all of you. It is important to consider the whole person and how everything from diet, sleep, exercise, hormonal changes, speaking habits and mental health challenges may impact on voice use. I don’t stick to one, rigid voice “method”. My training as a singing voice practitioner is extensive and covers all genres from classical to contemporary, backed up with extensive experience as a professional performer. I know the demands that professional singers face and I’m here to help you meet those demands.

I’m a qualified Singing Voice Rehabilitation Specialist, Vocal Habilitation Professional and Vocal Health First Aider with Vocal Health Education . My training is broad and highly clinically informed so that I can support singers in the broadest sense, having completed extensive training in areas such as Mindfulness, Counselling Skills for Singing Teachers, Accent Breathing Method, functional anatomy, vocal acoustics, Sing to Beat Parkinson’s Training, teaching adolescent voices and more. I regularly engage with mentoring with the some of the world’s leading voice experts so that I can support my clients to become experts in their own vocal instruments.

If you’re worried about your voice, the biggest hurdle can be reaching out to someone. Often, the fear of the problem is worse than the problem itself. The most important part of my job is to listen to your concerns and help you decide where to be referred onwards to a network of trusted professionals depending on what you need.Voice users require support from many angles (speech therapy, laryngoscopy, osteopathy, counselling to name a few) and I am proud to be part of the team of singing voice practitioners at the multidisciplinary centre Valentine Voice Care in Lewes.

Maintaining optimum vocal wellness doesn’t have to be complex or time-consuming. Small changes make a big difference to the consistency of your voice. Together we can work towards setting up routines that are both meaningful and manageable for you, be that on the opera stage or in a touring band or theatre company. Singing health coaching can also be suitable for public speakers, voicover artists and actors, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like support in fine-tuning your needs for these contexts.

I understand the demands of high-level performance and had a a highly successful career as a freelance operatic soprano, working for well-known companies across the UK and Europe! I still sing regularly as a concert soloist. You can read more about me as a singer HERE.

I am fully DBS checked and a member of the ISM.
