ABOUT VOCOLE COACHING
You're Most Welcome!
My name is Lloyd Cole. I'm lucky enough to be a vocalist and performer. My passion since I've known myself has always been music and over the years I'm thankful that I've been able to develop a unique insight to grow and hone both my vocals and my performance to find out what music means to me. In my experience I've found that, in the words of my mother, 'Every mistake is a new vibe'. So there's always something to learn with a so-called mistake. There's no such thing as a bad performer, just bad performances. The way to avoid bad performances is to develop and adapt skills in order to project the best version of yourself.
What We Can Do​​
Two key tenets of our focus here at Vocole Coaching are Harmony Coaching and Performance Coaching. Harmony Coaching is for anyone having difficulty in learning, creating, and consistently identifying and locating harmony. We do this either in a 1:1 session for individuals or in a group session for 2 or more people. Each session is completely unique and focused on the person or group that is undertaking the session. Depending on the experience and the areas you want to undertake, this can be more creative or technique-focused.
When it comes to Performance Coaching, this incorporates wording, action and delivery to create a refined and engaging performance. Over the years I have been performing, I have come to realise that everyone in the performance world has their own style and most importantly their own talent. Your talent is your musical talent. That doesn't necessarily mean that when you get in front of a crowd, you have a natural performance ease and confidence. Performance Coaching addresses what happens when the music stops, how to make your music into a show that will interest audiences and opening yourself up to the whole crowd confidently and genuinely.
Why We Do It
Ultimately, my passion for music and seemingly a gap in the industry is why I'm here. Being in the music I have seen so many people feeling nervous or lacking confidence in learning harmonies and performing in front of an audience. I'm here to help build your confidence, grow in the music and support the development of the performer you are.
Today's society is extremely performance-heavy with the likes of social media, even if you are sharing a small video of speaking on TikTok or Instagram, the volume of curated content leans towards performance being key in everything an audience might consume. The expectations of audiences is higher now than ever, and the music industry, as always, adapts and flows with changes in trends like this, so every day is a learning curve, even for the most experienced amongst us.
