Testimonials
“Amelia is an amazing vocal coach that I couldn’t ask more of! If you’re looking to expand your vocal horizons, I would highly recommend you have lessons with Amelia! I started off only looking to expand my backing vocals as I was a guitarist in a band and Amelia has helped me find and work on a voice for my own lead vocals as well as develop confidence in singing which is something I thought I'd never be able to do!”
Professional Musician
“Over the past 4 years that I have been singing with Amelia, I’ve seen a journey that has lead to some of my best memories and proudest achievements. Often putting in her own time and I assume much of her sanity, Amelia drags us towards vocal success and managed to land me on the HSC Honour Roll for Music 1. If that isn't a testament to both her strength of will and her ability as a teacher I don’t know what is. As one who’s been a small part of this journey, it is difficult to express the true impact that Amelia and Vocalocity has had on all of us; both as musicians and as people. To Amelia I say thank you from us all, for the incredible memories that will be cherished forever (or at least until we make new ones at the next rehearsal).“
