Singing with Snipp Blog

Hello and welcome to my first blog.

In this space I want to talk with you about; singing.

I am a professional singer (30 years) and singing teacher (20 years)
As I travel though my career, I will share interesting thoughts and issues that may have occurred.

In the last couple of weeks I have worked as:
1. A session singer on two new films at Abbey Road
2. A Rat Pack singer with a live band at the RAC club in Epsom
3. As a singing telegram at the Brighton Grand hotel, singing a very challenging song to memorise.
4. As a singing waiter, pretending to be Italian and singing opera and trying to be funny.
5. A cabaret singer telling the stories of Matt Monro and the Rat Pack.
6. A classical singer as part of an ensemble at the Cadogan Hall in London
7. A singing teacher working with a young 11 year old lad finding his voice and an elderly gentleman recapturing his youth in the navy gang shows. I love the variety of my pupils.

I would not be able to work in all these fields without a good technique.
I will share with you how I dealt with the challenges of each genre.

I will also talk about some of my favourite singers and favourite songs.
Some songs are challenging for different reasons.
I will explore how to overcome problems and issues that may arise with some of these great songs.

Please feel free to leave comments and ask questions.
