ABOUT DOT

Teaching that starts with how the voice actually works.

I love those lightbulb moments when a student discovers their voice in a whole new way.

I first trained in classical voice at Melba Conservatorium, but my heart led me to pop and contemporary styles — where I now love helping singers grow. In 2009 I opened my studio, and in 2020 I began sharing vocal exercises on YouTube. Now singers and teachers around the world use my lessons to develop their voices.

My approach is practical and grounded in how the voice actually works. You'll always understand why you're doing an exercise, not just how. And I keep studying and learning so that what I bring to lessons reflects the best current thinking on vocal technique.

No matter your level, I'll help you sing with freedom, strength, and joy.

"Dorothy is a fabulous teacher. She has brought the joy of singing back and I am so very grateful. She is a gifted teacher who is able to match her style to any singer with outstanding results. I highly recommend her."
