"The "Elevate Your Recording" online course is simply amazing. It is so practical, easy to understand and so informative. It really makes you think about all the aspects necessary and how to approach and prepare for them. These are details we would never think of and it's all in the prep. I was delighted I did it, Angela has a terrific teaching style in person and this on-line course lives up to the standard you'd expect, (and then some)!! Highly recommend this course, as a "must do" prep and/or even just as an insight into how it all works. Terrific!!"

"What can I say about Angela only she truly helped me find my voice again after polyps. I'm a professional vocalist but had such fear and physical and mental limitations and she helped me through all of them. My technique soared with my confidence and I fell in love with vocal science and performance psychology. I've gone on to become a vocal coach myself to help others find their voice and I'm completing the second year of my masters in vocal performance. I owe so much of that to her. Love you Angela!"
Christine Cusack
"It was a brilliant course covering everything from preparing you before the studio, to getting the most out of your time in the studio. I particularly liked the part about learning the different terms you will come across in the studio , so you will feel less lost if someone asks you something. I also found learning a bit about home recording very helpful and how it can be a way of preparing you for the full studio recording. I would give this course 10/10 , it had a very clear layout and worksheets and templates were supplied. I also found it great that I could complete it in my own time and also have the different modules to look back at, when ever I wanted to."
Sally Nagle
"Having never set foot in a recording studio in my life I was very unsure of what is expected, needed, and helpful in a recording setting. Angela gives a very well presented and easy to follow course that provides you with resources and helps you prepare for your recording session. Having completed the course I now have confidence in booking a recording session in a studio and also know what is needed for home recording projects. If the world of recording is alien to you I would highly recommend this course."

"Hi my name is Makayla Mehigan, I am 13 yrs old. I thought the course would be a bit above my head but it was not. I learned loads, like doing a creative cover, how to do an album and about copywriting. Angela was very easy to follow, made it very interesting. The course was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend the course."

For over 20 years I have been performing and recording. I have spent the majority of my life singing, never once having had a 9-5 job! As you can imagine, this has resulted in me learning, learning and learning even more, about the industry as a whole. Making mistakes, taking the hits, trying again, getting the gig, not getting the gig, working with all different character types and finding my own identity as an artist. Following my Degree (in classical music as it happens) from the Cork School of Music, I have continued to research and learn not just about the voice and how it works, but also how to become a great vocal coach and share my knowledge with other singers with a love for learning.
For the last 9 years I have been coaching singers at Voiceworks Studio, who are just like me, and just like you, who share a passion for singing, for entertaining and for sharing music with the world. This is what has compelled me to put this course together and I cannot wait to guide you through the 6 modules of the course, and in doing so help you realise your recording dreams, and help you avoid some of the very pitfalls I experienced along the way!
"If you get the opportunity to work with Angela, grab it with both hands, because that lady has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things music. Be it performing, songwriting, teaching or recording, she has done it all and is so generous with her knowledge and her time, and is just so encouraging"
Aisling Mc Carthy
"Angela is the warmest and most encouraging person to guide one through the recording process, from the absolute most basic prep to the more advanced technical aspects of a session in the studio. I learned loads from this course, even though I would have considered myself to have some experience. She made me think about things I hadn't considered before, and now I can't wait to get back in the studio!"
