    WHAT DO YOU OFFER?

    We offer a range of training options for upcoming artists:

      3-levels of weekly workshop-style theatre ensembles designed to develop performing, creating, and producing skills of upcoming musical theatre artists.

    • IMPACT | Private Coaching Sessions
      Weekly 1:1 sessions developing your personal artistry and performing arts skills. Sessions can surround any of the following areas:

      • Voice & Performance: developing your vocal technique and proficiency, understanding of vocal anatomy and health, and performance skills as a vocalist.

      • Songwriting & Music Creation: developing songwriting and compositional skills, including lyric writing, melody creation, composition, music production and mixing.

      • Acting & Performance: developing acting and stage performance skills, including script and monologue work, physical theatre, vocal delivery, stagecraft, and more.

    WHAT DOES IMPACT & ADAPT STAND FOR?

    Great question! IMPACT and ADAPT are two artist development program methods designed by our co-founders, Nick Leech and Simone Dawson, that ensure upcoming artists are ready for the modern world of artistry.

    • IMPACT (Individually Measured Projects for Artist Coaching & Tuition) is a system for private coaching that ensures holistic artist development of each unique artist. Each term or semester artists work alongside their coaches to develop a key focus area needed to improve their craft, and work during and outside of their sessions to develop the skills required complete their personal project (from solo performance, to recording, to songwriting, and more!)

    • ADAPT (Artist Development and Performance Training) is a system for group performer training. Each small-group session is led workshop-style working multiple performing, creating and/or producing skills, and tailored to the specific artists in session whilst always working toward time-based outcomes (be that at the end of the term, or program!) Every artist walks out of ADAPT Programs having developed creative and business skills to help their individual opportunities for success within the arts.

    WHAT MAKES WILD HEART TRAINING DIFFERENT?

    1. Technique focused - You wouldn’t want a doctor not understanding how the body works, so why should an artist not understand how their instrument works properly? All Wild Heart training is founded upon instilling a proficient understanding of technique and your creative practice, because unlike a normal singing lesson - we want you to be ready to not need us one day!

    2. Industry links - Our coaches are current industry professionals who know how this works. Not just from the books, and not just that they’ve studied - they’ve actually done it, and they want to ensure that all Wild Heart artists have the skills and knowledge required to succeed as a modern artist (whether full time, part time, or one time!)

    3. Opportunities - At Wild Heart there’s always an opportunity. Whether you want to perform, create, or produce, Wild Heart’s range of open opportunities and training-exclusive opportunities ensure that all artists have a chance to develop and showcase their skills.
