FRANCES THORBURN - actor/singer
"Lorna Brooks is a brilliant vocal coach. She is excellent at pin pointing exactly where you need help vocally and what to do in order to keep your voice healthy and on point for every performance. She has a very relaxed style and helps build confidence in a natural way. I would highly recommend her for both general voice work and also for specific vocal techniques. KEITH FLEMING - actor
"I have worked with Lorna on a number of occasions, in preparation for big shows, and also privately for more personal intimate work. She helped me greatly every time, so that I might feel confident enough to go out and take the stage, prepared me to the extent that I could trust my voice. Her no nonsense approach did not patronise me with terminology, but allowed me to understand my voice....not only it's limits, but it's potential. Her exercises, tuition and encouragement were invaluable in journey through rehearsal and beyond. Warm-up and vocal management advice, stick with me to this day." FERGUS ROBSON - BWANI JUNCTION and AVA LOVE
"Lorna Brooks is a fantastic teacher , forever a professional and personal where it counts. With a bastion of knowledge and voice that melts butter, you really feel like you’re learning from the best." GAIL WATSON - Actor
"I met Lorna way back in 2007 when I worked at Dundee rep. She was our vocal and singing coach on Sunshine on Leith. Lorna approaches singing from a different angle. As an actor who can sing there are always the notes you come up against that scare the sh*t out of you. Lorna gave me tips that helped support and take the fear out of them. Tips that 10 years down the line I use now. Useful hints on how to breath, and where to breath. Simple things like placing the vowels and consonants, allowing you to sing a note better. Please excuse the last sentence, I am not a musician neither do I read music, but this has never held me back. Her particular tip on how to support big powerful, long notes/phrases have indeed helped me no end. Most of my jobs nowadays require me to sing and my confidence and attitude toward singing has completely changed for the better." DEBBIE DAVIS - Jazz singer
"As a vocal coach I found Lorna's teaching methods both challenging but most of all enjoyable.I went to her with what I thought was a mediocre voice with little range or strength. Lorna taught me how to improve both significantly through breathing techniques and application of mouthing .An excellent teacher indeed who gave me self belief and "found" or rather recognised my potential long before I did." PATSY SEDDON -Harpist & singer
"Lessons with Lorna are person centred and flexible. She has an understanding of what you want to achieve and she sends you home with lots of ideas on how to focus the voice and build up vocal strength. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of a range of music helps make the time useful fun." KIRSTY MCDUFF - Actor & singer
"Lorna has revolutionised my approach to singing and my career as an actor. I went to Lorna desperately seeking some singing confidence. I found the confidence I was looking for along with so much more! In a coaching session Lorna makes you feel at ease and she really cares - which is the perfect environment to let you be brave and sing with absolutely no judgment being passed. Lorna has helped me discover my potential and I am eternally grateful to her." PATRICIA PANTHER - Singer/songwriter, producer & actor
"I met Lorna whilst doing the very first run of Glasgow Girls, she was our official vocal coach. Lorna helped so much with helping me find my voice and extend my vocal range and I felt such an improvement, that I continued to have private lessons with her. I have learned various tips, tricks and techniques that have helped to sustain and strengthen my vocal confidence. I'd happily recommend her to anyone wanting to explore what their singing voice can do."
