With more than twenty years' teaching experience, he has worked with singers at every stage of their development, from complete beginners to professional recording and touring artists. He also taught at the London Centre of Contemporary Music (LCCM) for many years, covering vocal technique, performance and vocal anatomy across foundation and degree-level programmes.

APPROACH

Ed specialises in vocal technique and is known for quickly identifying and resolving underlying issues in the voice, allowing singers to focus on performance and expression rather than technical limitations. He works with singers preparing for recordings, tours, live performance and auditions, as well as developing singers building confidence and reliable technique.

Ed’s work also includes vocal health, workload management and recovery, helping singers maintain reliable performance over the long term.

MUSICAL BACKGROUND

Ed’s approach is rooted in thirty years of experience as a singer, writer and performer. He understands the practical, often demanding realities placed on a voice in the studio and on tour. This allows him to translate complex vocal mechanics into clear, instinctive adjustments that can be applied immediately in performance.

TRAINING & QUALIFICATIONS

Originally trained in Speech Level Singing – the method used by artists such as Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder – Ed's work has since evolved to incorporate current research in vocal science, acoustics and vocal function. This depth of understanding allows him to identify and resolve complex vocal issues with clarity and efficiency.

Ed holds a BMus in Vocal Performance, Music Production and Arranging, as well as a second degree in Psychology & Physiology (BSc). These disciplines underpin his understanding of both the voice and the performer.

Ed has also completed specialist training in Vocal Distortions. He is also a skilled pianist, guitarist and songwriter, and an occasional arranger and producer.

He is a member of the British Voice Association (BVA) and Vocology in Practice (ViP), a global network of voice professionals.
