Biography
Donna grew up singing in her school choir, local church and even formed her own band at school!
As an adult she started taking lessons with a SLS teacher to strengthen her speaking and singing voice as she had began performing at local open mic nights and was also using her voice a lot in her day to day work as a Sales Manager. In 2013 she joined 'Audacious Band' as a backing vocalist and sang most weekends. This experience led her into teaching as she was asked to mentor the new singers joining the band. She was also asked to help with another local youth worship band 'Say What?' and soon after took a teaching job at Carol Godby's Theatre Workshop.
Donna now coaches a mixture of beginners and full time professional gigging artists, actors and speakers one to one all over the world using online platforms such as Skype, Zoom and Google Meet.
She joined the Institute for Vocal Advancement in July 2016 in order to expand her knowledge and gain a better understanding of the voice. She qualified as a Level 2 instructor in October 2019 and is now working towards her Level 3 certificate.
Since setting up Legacy Vocal Coaching Donna has worked with a lot of recovering voices, mainly due to her training with IVA, as these voices were looking for someone who could teach safe technique. Some of the issues Donna has come across are Muscle Tension Dysphonia, Laryngitis, Nodules, Polyps and Acid Reflux.
She believes it is the educator's job to stir up passion and excitement in their students and she's ready and willing to do just that!
