About Melissa

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have extensive experience working both as a Performer and as a Teacher. My performing career has thus far allowed me to enjoy a wide variety of roles and I have been fortunate enough to work both nationwide and abroad. As a Singer I have taken the lead in various Musicals and Operas and have also performed with a range of stars from the world of Pop Music. I perform in a range of groups and bands and additionally write and perform my own work. My Acting career has seen me portraying a multitude of characters of many ages. Some of my favourite Theatrical roles to date are: Hamlet (Hamlet); Rosalind (Love's Labour's Lost); Hermia (A Midsummer Night's Dream); Ellie (The Diary Of A Killer Cat); Jo (English Journies) & Bella (Wild Woods). I have also got excellent on screen experience having worked both in feature films and commercials and therefore enjoy teaching these aspects of Acting too. Working as a Dancer and Choreographer has led me to dance with and choreograph for some of the Industries finest artists and is again a skill I greatly enjoy sharing. In addition to this, I run a Cabaret Dance Troupe with which I perform regularly. My teaching has allowed me to work with students from all walks of life, from both professionals working in the West End though to school children and those interested in a hobby and in a variety of situations.

In the short time I have been having lessons with Melissa, I have noticed a vast improvement with the quality and strength of my voice. Melissa has helped me to overcome boundaries that were holding me back from finding my true voice and has really helped me with my confidence. Melissa gives a clear understanding of what needs to be done in order to improve and tailors the exercises and the lessons for the individual.

Singing lessons with Melissa are fantastic, she strikes a perfect balance between fun and focus, to create lessons which are productive, rewarding, and which fly by. Melissa is careful to tailor each lesson to me, building on my strengths, working on my weaknesses, setting targeted practice and finding music which inspires me. She's a wonderful and talented teacher, and I heartily recommend her.

I'd been looking for a singing teacher for my 15 yr old daughter, a keen performer, when we found Melissa D'Arcy. Since working with Melissa, her voice & technique have improved no end. An absolute gem of a teacher, Melissa packs so much into each session & knows how to nurture the best from a young student. My daughter has become a strong, confident singer, who thoroughly looks forward to each lesson. From a parent's point of view, I would certainly recommend Melissa as a singer teacher & mentor.
