We have Mentors located all over the UK:
After months of research, and completing a six-month pilot scheme, SingersResound has helped over 50 singers with free mentoring and workshops. British opera companies have embraced the need for our independent services, so please contact us if anything is troubling you. Conversations are completely confidential and our goal is to enable and empower, to facilitate mental growth and your ability to perform confidently or think differently. Our vision is to reignite a singer’s passion and creativity as well as the voice. We are willing to admit that individually we may not be the answer to a singer’s prayers, but know that someone in the team will be; and this team has an extraordinary rich and diverse level of experience and knowledge, which is ready to be tapped into.

Support comes in many guises and no singer can survive or thrive without it... What support do singers in transition, in difficulty, or in the middle to latter phases of their careers need? The SingersResound network is committed to providing this much-needed support.
For one individual, young or old, whatever position they hold in our profession, humiliation, loss of dignity, and the means by which they earn a living, is a blight on us all. Let us try to avoid this by sharing, talking, and then taking appropriate action in that safe place called SingersResound.
During the Covid pandemic, with artists sitting high on the government's 'retrain' list, we have all been made aware of our perceived value. Yet, we as artists often do not need such a glaring reminder, as at times, we fail to value our own great qualities and abilities. Often, this is through no fault of our own, but a result of the perfectionist environment in which we work. SingersResound is a space in which a singer feeling undervalued, can in confidence, talk with others, relate, or even re-evaluate their current situation.
SingersResound is a group of experienced singers who care and are committed to listening, encouraging, and helping singers who ask for help. A soloist's life can be a lonely path, especially when trouble strikes, and we have an abundance of knowledge and experience to assist singers at every stage of their careers.
My desire is to listen and facilitate a struggling artist to regroup and unravel any issues. SingersResound will always be a private and safe place to share anxieties, to allow time to be vulnerable but then build up confidence to be able to move on.
