Course Description

'This is the real deal voice training!'

Adalberto, Udemy student


'Easy to follow examples with good explanations.'

John Willis, Udemy student


NEW: COURSE NOW INCLUDES FREE DOWNLOADABLE MP3 EXERCISES.


Do you want to be able to sing to the standard of a West End or Broadway star? Learn with an award winning singer.


This is a course for you if you love musical theatre and also want a robust singing course that will stretch you beyond your current vocal capabilities. As well as being focused on music theatre, this course is a bootcamp for all vocalists.


You will learn to be a versatile music theatre singer by studying the singing techniques needed to hit the high notes from the major epochs of musical theatre, including music hall and operetta, Tin Pan Alley and early jazz show tunes (Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin etc), classic Broadway music theatre (Rogers and Hammerstein, Kern, Rogers and Hart etc), 70s & 80s music theatre (Andrew Lloyd Webber, Boublil and Schönberg etc) and contemporary music theatre (Schwartz, Menken etc).

In each section, there is a brief introduction to the era and its composers plus an explanation of how the singing techniques of each era developed. We then dive into practical, technical  exercises to help you master those techniques. We will look at vocal skills such as:

  • Expanding range

  • Mastering voice qualities to make the right sound for each show and character discussed

  • Dealing with the break in the passagio

  • Intercostal lateral breathing (required in music theatre exams)

  • Anchoring

  • Projection

  • Belting

  • Diction

The course will help you to ace musical theatre auditions and exams, help improve your vocal skills in a demanding and competitive field of singing and enhance your overall knowledge of music theatre in a way that will impress an examiner/audition panel. We will also have fun!

You can also send mp3s of your singing for feedback.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with you!

Eve is a great teacher. I was very pleasantly surprised that she responded very quickly to messages and questions. She is very generous with her teachings. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to know more and learn about musical theatre singing. THANK YOU.

By Debra Teng on 6/23/2020

Eve is a wonderful teacher! So dedicated! I sent her a recording of my singing and didn't even know if she would reply. Was so impressed that she replied immediately and gave me vry specific feedback, and even gave me exercises to work on. I totally recommend this course to anyone working on on their musical theatre singing voice.

By Florel W. Acfiawen on 6/18/2020

It's very informative and accommodating to all kinds of singers because of various options being provided by the speaker. In short, it is very inclusive in nature. I love it!

not very intrested in these songs

By Estie McLaurin on 1/28/2020

Fantastic course, suitable for both beginner hobbyists interested in musical theatre and more advanced vocalists. Great blend of informative background plus practical exercises. I definitely noticed an improvement in my vocal after just a few days. Highly recommended!

By Missy Tiffany Mendoza on 8/10/2018

This course is wonderful. It teaches the ancient musical theatre singing techniques used in musical hall musicals and operetta musicals which were used in classic MGM musical films.

By Milton hebbert on 5/14/2018

They have been a lot of work that went into creating a course like this, which I´m very satisfied with. Thank for creating this course.

By Robert Armitage on 3/19/2018

I am in a theatre singing group, led by a musical theatre actor, therefore the course should prove useful, thanks.
