The Vocal Retreats are small, bespoke group coaching events in an inclusive and supportive environment with guest tutors presenting alongside Charlotte. An encouraging and safe place for vocalists to practice working/performing in front of others, helping to bridge the gap between private practice and public performance. Over the past 7 years of running these events, Charlotte has assembled a rotating team of exceptional vocal and performance coaches, each bringing unique expertise and approaches to the Vocal Retreats. All invited co-presenters have a passion for coaching and sharing their knowledge and are qualified, highly experienced, and compassionate. The Vocal Retreats have all food provided and are held over 2.5 days - accommodation is not included.

  • Day 1 - Half day 4:00 - 8:00 pm

    A time for each individual to share their story/goals/vocal challenges with the group over food and to meet each other and the tutors. This time is incredibly useful to come into the work over the weekend, feeling familiar with the space and each other.

  • Day 2 - Full day 9:30-6:30

    Group workshops and discussions are held by each of the tutors working from their specialties, all with vocal performance at the core but approaching from different viewpoints.

  • Day 3 - Full day 9:30-6:30

    Each participant will get up and work individually with one of the tutors on a vocal piece the participant has chosen.

Plenty of time is allowed for Q/A and discussions as we go.
