Testimonials

  • Henry B

    For over 9 years, Christie has taught me how to truly use my voice. During this time I have been fortunate enough to be part of her Master’s exams, and through her coaching and encouragement was able to audition and get accepted into the Conservatorium of Music. During my teenage years, I struggled immensely with my rapidly changing voice and worried about my ability to sing moving forward. Christie completely flipped my singing psychology on its head, and improved my singing capabilities by an indescribable amount.

    She stands out amongst vocal teachers in my opinion because she genuinely cares about your development as a singer, and has always gone the extra mile to help me - even when I drive her insane! I have always loved working with Christie and cannot thank her enough for all she has done for me and my voice.

  • Matthew S

    Christie has been a game-changer for my singing journey. Despite numerous attempts to refine my inability to sing in key, it wasn't until I started working with Christie and a physio within her Vocology, Jim Bostock, that everything clicked. With Christie’s expert guidance and personalised approach, I have experienced a significant improvement in my vocal strength and resonance. Now, I'm proud to say that I am a professional gigging musician, and with each lesson, I continue to witness remarkable progress. Thank you, Christie, for transforming my voice and helping me achieve my musical dreams.

  • Gianna L

    Before joining Vocal Effects, I was not very confident in my voice and didn’t think singing was something I could do. Partaking in lessons with Christie has immensely improved my overall sound and performance. She is very knowledgeable about using the proper vocal techniques and has drawn out a voice in me that I never knew existed. Her patient and cheerful nature also makes lessons so much more enjoyable and welcoming. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who has a passion for singing and would like to learn how to use a healthy technique.
