With understanding of HOW to change your voice through exercises and practice and the right balance of imagery, auditory and kinaesthetic learning you will know the what’s, how’s why’s of your voice.
Performance
The multifaceted aspect of performance is something that Nicki understands from personal experience. What is it that makes a performance special?

Nicki has undertaken ‘Acceptance and Commitment coaching’ training and has studied music performance anxiety as part of her training and uses several well regarded techniques to help you reach your performing potential.
