I've never sung before. Can I prepare for an audition in time?

Yes, but timing is important. Don't wait until 2 weeks before your audition. The more time you allow, the better. Mags has worked successfully with many singers of all levels, including complete beginners. With enough advance notice and dedicated practice, she can help you develop the vocal skills and confidence needed to impress the audition panel.

What types of auditions do you prepare for?

Mags specialises in preparing singers for a wide range of auditions including further education singing auditions, musical theatre roles, and professional singing parts. She has worked extensively with dancers and actors preparing for auditions that require singing.

How do you help me select audition material?

Mags works with you to select suitable audition material that showcases your voice and personality effectively. Together you'll choose pieces that are appropriate for the audition type and help you deliver your best performance to impress the panel.

What will we focus on in audition coaching?

Coaching covers posture, breathing technique, tone, power, song interpretation, and performance delivery. The goal is to give your voice and overall performance the edge needed to succeed at audition.

How intensive can audition coaching be?

Audition coaching is flexible. Some students work with weekly or twice-weekly lessons leading up to their audition date. Discuss your timeline and audition date with Mags to create an intensive preparation plan that works for you.

Can I do audition coaching online?

Yes, audition coaching is available both in-person at Mags's Marple studio and online via video call. Online coaching provides flexibility while maintaining the same quality of instruction and feedback.

Vocal Coaching for Auditions

Prepare to succeed!

Do you have further education auditions to prepare for that require you to sing? Or is there a part in a musical you’d love to go for, and you need lessons to make sure your vocal is strong enough to impress the panel?

Tailored coaching, ready for the big day

Singing teacher Mags Lowe has worked with many dancers and actors, giving tailored vocal coaching for auditions. Together we’ll select suitable audition material and perfect it, ready for the big day.

Even if you’ve never sung before, as long as you leave enough time (please don’t leave it until two weeks before!), we can work wonders together. Mags will train you in the latest singing techniques to give your voice and performance the edge, covering posture, breathing, tone, power, song interpretation and performance.

Contact Mags to discuss your audition requirements and how she can help you prepare to succeed.

For acting audition preparation, I can highly recommend Martin at Audition Coach.

“I’m an actor that needs to be able to sing but I’m not a natural singer, so I enlisted Mags to help me prepare for auditions – and so far so good, I’ve got into the college of my choice and I’m feeling much better about my vocal abilities.”

Testimonials

I really couldn’t sing in tune and thought I was a no-hoper but Mags reassured me over the phone that it was possible to learn. She’s a brave lady taking me on! I’m starting to recognise when I’m in tune now whereas before I hadn’t a clue; and whilst I’m not the best of singers, I can definitely hear the improvement in my tuning and voice strength.

Mike

A hero!

Mags is an absolutely amazing teacher. I can’t tell you how nervous I was on my first lesson but Mags put me at my ease and very slowly we have found my voice. A year later I have done 3 public performances and even enrolled on a week long singing course.

She is kind and funny and incredibly encouraging. So even if you are convinced you have no voice, you may just surprise yourself!

57 years of being too scared to use such a wonderful instrument and Mags had me singing confidently in no time.

Thank you Mags. You are a HERO!

Jane

A vocal miracle worker

Mags has transformed my voice from what could best be described as a window-shattering strangled cat to something very passable! We’ve tackled some fab power ballads and I can now sing my heart out in the car without my passengers demanding ear plugs. I absolutely love my sessions with her and feel like I just keep on improving. She is a fantastic teacher, exceptionally perceptive and very lovely to boot. A vocal miracle-worker for sure!
