About Richard
Hi! My name is Richard.
I am a vocal coach and performer originally from South Africa, now residing in Vancouver, Canada. I have been teaching voice for the past 5 years and have been performing professionally for the past 10. My career has taken me to countries all over the world and even on to multiple cruise ships sailing on the seven seas!

I have 5 years of teaching experience. My students have ranged from ages 5 - 58 from various levels of experience (beginners to professional singers).
It's never too early or too late to learn how to sing or sing better!
There is nothing I'd love more than to help you find and grow your own individual voice! My teaching approach is all-rounded, specific to each student, and based on combining technique with play and exploration.
My personal strength and priority with teaching is creating a comfortable environment to experiment. Singing can be very scary but I promise you'll feel safe and grow your confidence in no time!
And we'll have the most fun reaching our singing goals!
Singing exists to create JOY! So, if we're not having a great time singing, then there really isn't any point, is there?? We will play, make weird noises, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and grow!
NOTE: The first lesson is a free trial and will occur over Webcam. If we decide to move further with lessons the the teaching location can be discussed :)

Perfect! Richard explains singing techniques and physiology in a simple accessible way. He also creates a very safe supportive environment that acknowledges the emotional component of music and singing.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Richard is a gentle, direct, and insightful teacher. He listens with care and offers genuinely valuable suggestions that make you feel much more assured and capable.
He has a wealth of experience in musical theatre and with singing more broadly, but the way he can transfer those skills into brilliant teaching is truly something rare. It is a joy and privilege to have him as a teacher, and I would recommend him to anyone!I’ve taken musical singing lessons with Richard for 6 months and I enjoyed every minute of it.
He is extremely patient, his style of teaching is fun, as an actor I’ve learnt various techniques of warming up and it’s tailored to your specific vocal needs.
By the end of the 6 months I had a range of songs that we worked on every month and I can always pull them out when I need an audition.
I would recommend anyone that is interested in taking their singing seriously all the way to someone who just wants to learn a new hobby. Richard’s calm demeanour caters for it all.Richard is an awesome singing coach with really great breathing and vocal technical exercises. He is really good at using imagery to explain and is patient in his teaching. Would recommend!
I took singing lessons with Richard for over a year. I had known him as a friend before and our friendship only grew stronger. I came to the first few sessions feeling ashamed of my voice, but Richard showed me how joyous singing can be. I needed someone who could unburden my mind and Richard was just the right teacher. He selected songs and routines that he knew would help me grow, but I was free to suggest as many Ben Platt songs as I wanted. To this day, I use many of the skills and exercises we covered.
Richard was my singing teacher and vocal coach for almost two years. During that time, I experienced both personal and vocal development as a result of his empathetic and encouraging tutoring.
Richard's patience and inclusivity created a safe space for me to explore and experiment with my voice. His holistic approach, integrating voice health, technique, connection, and authenticity enabled me to extend my range and grow in confidence.
The diversity of our lessons kept things interesting and helped me to find my own unique voice. I also found it inspiring to see Richard's own commitment to continuous growth and development.If you look for something conventional and purely academically Richard is not your guy. He takes you on a personal journey discovering yourself and your full potential, which require trust and being vulnerable. He follows a very holistic approach which don't only focus on "singing lessons" but you becoming a better version of yourself as a performer. Highly recommended for sure!
