Olivia Whelan

Olivia is an experienced, knowledgeable and inspiring singing teacher, voice coach and mentor to singers and actors of all ages, ability and styles for over 30 years and offers both online and in-person singing lessons from her studios located in London (near Chiswick) and Wiltshire (near Devizes, Bath & Salisbury).

Having worked with some of the world’s leading conductors, directors and musicians throughout her own career, she is passionate about sharing her knowledge and experience with other aspiring and established performers. She teaches a broad range of students from successful international stars of Opera, West End & Broadway, Pop/R&B and Jazz through to talented amateurs who love to sing and want to develop their technique and confidence in different singing styles.

Olivia carefully selects her students after an initial consultation lesson where she quickly identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each student and builds a short and long term bespoke programme of tuition to enable each student to realise their ambitions.

Although she focuses on the technical elements of singing (including breathing, support, posture, resonance and projection), she is more than just a typical singing teacher. She works closely with her students on performance skills, communication, acting, interpretation, repertoire, stamina and audition technique as well as the business elements of being a performer such as personal marketing and career development.

Olivia also has an impressive track record in solving vocal and respiratory problems, voice deterioration and vocal rehabilitation with both singers and non-singers.

She also works with a range of celebrity personalities and business people at building their presentation skills, vocal projection and confidence.
