RACHAEL THOMS

I'm a vocalist, educator, researcher, and vocal coach based in Canberra, Australia. My work combines over three decades of performance and teaching experience with contemporary voice science and a biopsychosocial approach to vocal development. Whether working with recreational singers, developing artists, professional voice users, or voice teachers, I aim to help people build healthy, sustainable, and expressive voices. 

HOW I WORK

My work sits at the intersection of voice science, musicianship, performance experience, and individualised coaching.

I believe effective vocal development involves more than technique alone. Singing is shaped by the interaction of physical function, musical skills, personal experience, confidence, motivation, and the environments in which we perform and communicate.

Drawing on over three decades of performing and teaching experience, alongside ongoing research in vocal pedagogy, I work with singers as individuals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. My role is to help each singer better understand their voice, develop practical skills, and build sustainable habits that support their long-term goals.

Whether working with recreational singers, developing artists, professional voice users, or voice teachers, my aim is to combine evidence-informed practice with practical musicianship to create meaningful and lasting growth.
