I’m an experienced online vocal coach and performance coach, based near Guildford, Surrey, working with singers, vocalists, artists, performers and songwriters across Contemporary Commercial Music (CCM) styles.

From professionals to beginners, I help clients worldwide develop a healthy, balanced voice while nurturing creative expression and personal growth. My coaching blends evidence-based techniques with a holistic, artist-centered philosophy.

I specialise in guiding singers and performers through vocal concerns, performance anxiety and self-doubt. I provide practical tools to overcome these obstacles and help you stay grounded in high-pressure situations like studio sessions, live performances, and auditions.

If you’re a contemporary commercial artist, singer/songwriter, or vocalist and ready to feel empowered in your voice, present on stage, and rooted in your artistic identity, I’m here to support you, whether you’re in Surrey, London, West Sussex, or anywhere around the world.

At 18, I stepped into the music industry with a sensitive heart and a profound love for singing. From a very young age, I had dreamed of being a solo artist and writing my own music. Over time, I found myself constantly comparing my voice to other singers, questioning why I didn’t sound as “good” as they did. Slowly, performance anxiety, perfectionism, and harsh self-criticism crept in. Panic attacks before gigs became routine, and forgetting lyrics on stage would leave me spiralling in self-doubt for days. I believed that if I could just perfect my vocal technique, everything would get better, but it didn’t fully address what I was facing.

As my confidence began to fade, I started withdrawing from performing. Then came the diagnosis of chronic health conditions, including endometriosis. Eventually, I made the incredibly tough decision to pause my music career and focus on my health.

After six months of rest and a successful surgery, I returned to music, this time not as a performer or artist, but as a vocal coach and singing teacher. 

While working with singers and bands, I continued to face my own challenges — self-doubt, overthinking, and performance anxiety. Seeing these struggles both in myself and others motivated me to deepen my professional training and seek therapy and guidance (shoutout to Line Hilton!). 

This journey helped me reconnect with my voice, uncover the style of music I truly enjoy writing and rediscover my love of performing. I learned to ease the grip of perfection and embrace growth through imperfection. 

After years of working with other music schools and teaching independently, I decided to create my own vocal coaching business with a holistic focus. 

At Jacinda Vocal Coach, I view singing as an experience that involves your whole self: mind, body, emotions, and experiences. When self-doubt or overthinking arise, they naturally influence your voice. I’ve been there too, noticing every uncertain note. By practising mindful awareness and accepting these experiences without judgment, you open space to engage fully with the present moment. Singing then transforms, moving beyond the need to ‘get it right’ and becoming a sincere expression of who you are in that moment.

Solid vocal technique lays the groundwork, giving your voice control, strength, flexibility and endurance, but it’s only part of the story. Real growth begins when you open to your inner experience with curiosity and acceptance, allowing yourself to notice what’s happening without judgment, and choose to sing from a place of presence and purpose.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your voice and your story.
