Esther: As some of my clients may know, I am with child! And I'll be going into maternity leave starting next week. Thank you to all who have supported my business, and I will be back some time in the summer! We'll sing together again real soon! Stay healthy! 😊❤️🙏🏻☀️

"Through prosody, we express tenderness, or anger, or enthusiasm, or any number of other nuanced emotional states that give the human voice its peculiar power to woo, persuade, threaten, cajole and mollify. Prosody makes the difference between the affectless utterances of HAL, the computer in 2001, and the rich and expressive instrument of Morgan Freeman or Meryl Streep – or even just the lilting, songlike way you say “Hello” when you answer the phone, so your caller doesn’t think you’re a machine. The term comes from the ancient Greek: pros, meaning “toward”, and ody, meaning “song”. We speak toward song."
"The enterprise of being human is to carve out a congenial place to occupy in the world, an achievement that we know intuitively depends to a frightening extent on how our voices sound in the ears of others. To alter your voice in ways that conform better to the person you feel yourself to be, or that you wish you were, means changing, fundamentally, who you are."

The long read: When I damaged my vocal cords, I was forced to change the way I spoke – and discovered how much our voices reveal who we are

One of my most favourite Christmas songs to sing, with its lilting melody, beautiful chord progressions and the opportunity to include a lot of dynamics in the song. This Christmas is going to be so different for most people all over the world, and I hope music continues to help get us through these tough times.

Sooo grateful to be part of this Complete Vocal Institute class filled with amazing people and singers who make it such a fun and safe environment for learning and growth. I signed up for their 1 year course as part of my efforts to keep upgrading my knowledge as a singer, and am absolutely enjoying myself. Thank you CVI for introducing such a progressive and non-judgmental vocal pedagogy to the world. Its only been a few months, but I've learnt so much and adopted so many new and improved perspectives on singing! 🙏🏻🎵

For fellow pregnant singers out there!

Beyoncé’s seemingly effortless performance at the Grammy Awards earlier this month was all the more remarkable given that she is pregnant with twins.
