VOICE UP COACHINGONE VOICE. ONE PERSON. ONE RAINDROP. ONE FUTURE.

The light begins within.

Voice Up creates pathways for voices to awaken, grow, become equipped and flow outward—through singing, artistry, teaching and community.

Five pathways. One movement.

Begin with the person in front of us. Honour who they are and their voice. Equip what is growing within them. Allow the change to continue through others.All Voice Up lessons and programs can be delivered online.

01 / SINGING LESSONS

Grow the voice that is already yours.

Holistic singing lessons meet each person where they are—building healthy technique, courage, expression and a sound that feels true.

BeginnerSafe foundations, pitch, rhythm and enjoyment.IntermediateRange, dynamics, style and connection.AdvancedArtistry, consistency and professional refinement.

“I’ve had other singing teachers before, but within two weeks with Carolyn I saw huge improvement.” — Amy

02 / SIX-WEEK COURSE

From Singer
to Artist.

For committed, experienced singers who have already done the training, are performing and gigging—and are ready to become the Artist the industry actually notices.

A distinctive Artist identityA signature soundThe confidence to command a roomA genuine connection with your audience

03 / YOUR VOICE MATTERS

A safe place for the voice to awaken again.

For organisations supporting groups of women and girls after abuse, Your Voice Matters uses singing to create gentle, trauma-aware spaces for courage, expression, belonging, hope, fun and joy.

Participants are never defined by what happened to them. Their dignity, agency, culture and voice remain at the centre.

For organisations A 12-week group singing program delivered online alongside local facilitators and existing care.

“I am braver now when singing in English, and I want to learn more songs.” — Cambodia participant, Marici pilot evaluation

“Initial uncertainty changed into anticipation, with girls waiting for the next session.” — Marici staff observation, pilot report

04 / TWO DISTINCT TRAINING PATHWAYS

The voice becomes equipped.

Facilitator Training and Singing Teacher Training are separate choices. You do not need to become a Your Voice Matters facilitator before training as a singing teacher.

Your Voice Matters Facilitator Training

For women supporting the 12-week program within an organisation or community setting.

Voice Up Singing Teacher Training

For new or experienced teachers who want to build their skills, teaching pathway and professional practice.

Where it is helpful, a facilitator may later choose to continue into Singing Teacher Training—but neither pathway depends on the other.

The wider vision is to equip women across different countries and languages to teach within their own cultures: creating meaningful businesses, choosing how and when they work, and bringing greater wellbeing, connection and mental-health support into their communities through singing teaching.

“The course enabled me to hone my teaching skills, think about the different teaching tiers and what I can offer students. I highly recommend it.” — Kerry

05 / GLOBAL COMMUNITY

Different voices connect.
Change keeps flowing.

A monthly Global CommUnity brings facilitators and singing teachers together for mentoring, ongoing learning, cultural exchange and encouragement. No teacher grows alone.
