“Kathy is not only a brilliant teacher but also a supportive friend- I have been going to her for over 7 years after I was assigned to her on my course at Associated Studios. She discovered my head voice and since then my inner soprano was released , this has really benefited me even when I mostly belt!”
“Kathy is an outstanding teacher and a wonderful person; not only has she helped me find my voice (and taught me how to use it properly) but she also has given me confidence in myself. I certainly wouldn’t still be in this industry without her guidance and support, I can’t thank her enough for all the help she has given me!”
“Kathy is a wonderful singing teacher, she has coached me through countless auditions: Toxic Avenger, Mamma Mia, Avenue Q and School Of Rock. She has helped me be prepared and confident, whilst also improving my overall sound, technique and approach to my songs. The culmination of which has lead to excellent relationships with casting directors, much greater audition success, and much improved confidence in my instrument. Her lessons are also incredibly fun, her humour and knowledge are a winning combination.”
“Kathy Taylor-Jones is a one-of-a-kind vocal coach. I have been working with her for the last 5 years and during that time she has elevated my voice to another level! Not only does Kathy understand and work on technique, but she hones every aspect of a performance including the physical and mental strain, allowing me to be a well-rounded & generally better performer. Over the last couple of years, we have worked together extensively – but the absolute highlight came most recently when Kathy accompanied me on my debut at The Royal Albert Hall! She understands all too well what a performer goes through, being a mezzo soprano herself. Her calming nature and insightful critique make performances like these possible as well as enjoyable and have enabled me to achieve my dreams – performing at Wembley Stadium, the London Coliseum, the London Hippodrome and many more amazing venues – in no small part thanks to Kathy. She has even gone so far as to help me prepare for my own shows at The Other Palace and Live at Zedel where together we curated, directed and perfected my performance. I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing Kathy or thank her enough for everything she has helped me achieve.”
“Despite 3 years at a top drama school, and acting now for 17 years, I have always been critical and nervous of my singing voice. I have always worked hard but have never been truly comfortable singing in performance or even in rehearsal. Solos have terrified me all the way through to final nights. Before meeting Kathy I’d even avoid singing auditions. Kathy has changed my attitude to music and singing. She has given me so much confidence. She teaches some incredibly talented people, and I’m not one of them, but now I enjoy group singing, embrace solos with confidence and am proud of my contributions to productions at the Globe and on BBC Radio. I learn my parts more quickly now and sing in harmony with much more confidence and accuracy. This comes from Kathy giving me a greater understanding of how music works and how I can make it come out of my body! Kathy’s lessons are uplifting and confidence building. She focusses on blending technique with understanding of musicality. The lessons are great fun and a great challenge. Kathy’s lessons always show the importance of self belief and enjoyment when learning.”
