THE FIONA EFFECT
Fiona’s approach combines science and experience with what her clients call “the Fiona effect” – her unique ability to give every singer, no matter their level, the confidence and tenacity to excel.
Her warmth and energy transcend the bounds of individual lessons to unite both cast and crew, which is why Fiona is so sought-after on set.
Fiona creates effortless sound throughout a singer’s range using a bespoke series of vocal workouts. Once free from technical limitation, she helps the singer unlock and harness their personal style.
Fiona develops bespoke training programmes for live tours and long contracts. As a regular on audition panels, she knows what casting directors want. In a recording studio, she will always get the best out of a singer – even under pressure. And on set, she empowers artists to take risks for the magic to materialise.
In addition to lessons at The London Palladium and via Skype, Fiona McDougal also conducts a series of workshops, events and masterclasses throughout the year - each one focusing on different performance-related challenges. Keep an eye on her site to see developments.
"After nearly 20 years in the business, Fiona taught me new techniques… Invaluable training and something I really couldn’t have done without."
