The real answer? It’s different every time! Each session artists walk in it is our job as a coach to facilitate their creativity and artist development. Through their project-based training artists have an individual focus they are working towards that drives forward their technique study and application, but once in a while everyone walks in wanting to try something a little different and switch it up!

Sessions follows a structure of:

• Warm-up activity

  • For vocal and performance sessions, this is VOCAL WARM-UPS

  • For songwriting and music-making sessions this is SONGWRITING DRILLS

  • For acting performance sessions this is DRAMA GAMES & ACTIVITIES

  • For vocal and performance sessions this is your TECHNIQUE-INFORMED STUDY, SCALES & EXERCISES

  • For songwriting and music-making sessions this is SONGWRITING CHALLENGES & EXERCISES

  • For acting performance sessions this is WORK STUDY

That's a great question! Vocal tuition focuses on the fundamentals of singing, like breath control, vocal technique, and understanding music theory. It's about building a strong foundation. Vocal coaching, on the other hand, is more about fine-tuning your performance skills. Think of it as polishing your existing talent, focusing on things like stage presence, song interpretation, and audition prep.

Whilst Wild Heart as an artist development company works with developing artists who have some pre-existing knowledge, our coaching & tuition is technique-based at all times, and solidifies the pre-existing foundation with a sense of play through coaching.

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. A sense of play - If there’s one word you’ll hear in a Wild Heart coaching session more than anything else, it’s play. As artists we utilise technique and an articulate knowledge of our instrument to form the basis of our creative play. So you learnt the technique behind placement of your resonators? Fantastic! Now let’s apply it to your song choice. Done that? Brilliant! Now apply it to a completely different style of song that’s just on the edge of your comfort zone! Now ready? Let’s play.

3. 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!)

4. 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.

5. IMPACT - In the industry artists work from project to project (album, release, tour, next album OR audition, show, tour, next audition) - so why shouldn’t your training? The IMPACT method of artist development focuses on each individual artists development through unique projects created by them for them to expand their skillsets.

6. The Voiceful Method - All Wild Heart vocal coaches follow the Voiceful Method of vocal coaching, founded by our co-founders Nick Leech and Simone Dawson, to ensure vocal performers can not only sing, but understand their instrument, its complexities and abilities, and can utilise their voice to its fullest extend to enhance their artistry.

Not at all! Our coaching stream is completely separate and does not require artists to participate in all of our services to work with Wild Heart!

Want to simply do coaching? No worries! Want to only take part in our productions or shows? Go for it! Want to do both? Let’s go! Wild Heart is your artist development playground to utilise to the extend you require and feel most comfortable.

Co-founders Nick Leech and Simone Dawson begun Wild Heart Creatives as renowned vocal coaches and youth artist development providers. Working with upcoming vocalists everyday they founded an innovative method to be utilised in vocal coaching practices.

Whilst there are a multitude of methods of singing branching from the 2 schools of classical and contemporary training (EVT, SLS, CVT), the Voiceful Method isn’t actually a method of singing - it’s a method of coaching voice.

Proven and promoted by vocal health professionals and taught by coaches from across Sydney, The Voiceful Method of vocal coaching is a 3-tier training system combining the schools of classical and contemporary training to ensure artists maintain a holistic understanding of the voice, from anatomical study and vocal health, to stylised performance and delivery, the Voiceful Method outlines for coaches the method to coach voice whilst maintaining and amplifying each artists unique sound, style, and sense of self.
