Here’s a follow-up to my last tip about twang! 🎤 If you’re wondering what twang actually is, it’s all about using your nasal resonators to give your voice that extra power and clarity. It’s a technique I’ve found super useful in bigger spaces, especially for projecting through an orchestra!
With a few simple adjustments—like lifting your soft palate—you can start to feel the difference. Trust me, once you get the hang of it, it can really boost your sound.

Another show, another chance to share the stage with incredible talent! 🙌 Seeing my name on the cast list always feels like a moment of pride, but it’s even more special when I get to perform alongside legends like Michael Ball OBE. Can’t wait for the next one – here’s to more unforgettable performances!
I’m often asked how I ended up on the musical theatre stage. Well, I started with classical training in Australia, but soon realised my heart was in musical theatre. That shift changed everything for me, and I haven’t looked back since.

Here’s a great tip for warming up your voice – the lip trill! If you don’t have a straw, this is a fantastic way to get your vocal cords moving. Start from the bottom of your range and work your way up to the top, making sure to keep things smooth. This gentle exercise helps even out any rough patches and ensures your voice is ready for anything. Always remember – your voice is a muscle, so treat it well!
What an incredible feeling to take our final bow with such an amazing cast, and to hear the roar of the crowd in return! There's truly nothing like the energy of a live audience. Every performance reminds me of why I do this – sharing these moments with the fans makes it all so special.

Came across this old clip of Oh Holy Night. It’s one of those songs that always feels right around Christmas time.
It’s funny how music has a way of bringing you back to certain moments. What’s your go-to Christmas song?
