The Sounding Method™
Discover The Sounding Method™: A timeless approach to voice training that bridges the gap between speaking and singing. The Sounding Method™ helps speakers cultivate vocal tone through deep listening, vowel shaping, and resonance – bringing clarity, warmth, and confidence to every word.
Transform Your Voice, Transform Your Impact
When we speak, it’s essential to engage our colleagues, clients, and audiences authentically and with ease. Your message matters, and if it wasn’t important, you wouldn’t be speaking. But remember, your voice carries more than just words. It’s up to us to make sure our voice does justice to our message and truly enhances its meaning.

The Sounding Method™
The Sounding Method™ is a distinctive voice training approach that blends the natural flow of speech with the expressive power of classical singing. Built on the idea that speech and song share the same roots, it helps speakers reclaim the expressive tools we’re evolutionarily wired to use—unlocking the vocal richness, presence, and control that trained performers rely on, while staying true to their own natural voice.
You’ll develop vocal clarity, flexibility, and strength, boosting your ability to communicate with confidence, credibility, and emotional impact. Whether you’re leading a meeting, giving a presentation, or simply wanting to be heard, this method builds lasting skills that elevate how you speak and how others respond.
Testimonials About Melanie
Working with Melanie was one of the most enriching experiences of my life.
Her relentless enthusiasm, positivity, sensitivity and attention to tailoring voice coaching to my particular needs and interests inspired me to write, perform and later pursue a path in tutoring students in the art of contemporary voice and song-writing.
Her guidance as a voice specialist gave me the tools and confidence to find my own voice underpinned with classical, public speaking and performance anxiety skills.
I flourished under her mentorship and learned life-long skills to work cohesively, joyfully and flexibly with others creating a tone of inspiration opposed to competition. Her guidance is holistic and sculpts the individual to become empowered in the public sphere to engage, perform and sing with joy and beauty in an entirely authentic manner straight from the heart and grounded.
I would highly recommend Melanie and her services for any individual seeking a life-changing experience on their path with the voice.
As a stressed public speaker Melanie was able to help me control my nerves by employing breathing and other advanced techniques that allowed me to present my content much better than if I’d been left to my own devices.
And this was on the night before the said presentation! Now with a bit more time we’re aiming on improved projection and speaking with influence. Thanks Melanie!
I had the privilege of benefiting from Melanie’s exceptional services and recommend her without hesitation.
Melanie provided me with a personalised 1:1 session tailored precisely to my strengths and weaknesses as a public speaker. This individualised approach immediately set the tone for an engaging and transformative experience. The atmosphere she created was not only comfortable and informal but also incredibly relaxing and fun which allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, explore vocal techniques, and learn tips from a seasoned professional classical singer and experienced educator.
Her feedback was invaluable, highlighting areas for improvement and providing constructive guidance, ensuring that I left the session equipped with practical tools to continue refining my skills.
In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie’s services to any corporate business individual seeking to enhance their communication skills. Melanie’s expertise, combined with her warm personality and genuine dedication to her craft, creates a transformative learning experience that is both enriching and enjoyable. Thank you, Melanie, for your outstanding service and for helping me unlock the full potential of my voice. I am truly grateful for this invaluable experience.
