With a wealth of coaching experience spanning over 20 years, Tania combines her sound knowledge of voice science, vocal health, and the performing arts to offer practical solutions to common vocal issues through her company Vocal Hub Enterprises Pty Ltd.

 

Tania has a passion for holistic voice training and commitment to continuous professional development – which is why she’s currently undertaking a Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours) at the University of South Australia, which will give her a qualification as a voice therapist. She is skilled in working through vocal health concerns for performing artists, in conjunction with voice specialising laryngologists, speech pathologists and voice physiotherapists where necessary, and is experienced in working with voice users who have recently recovered from vocal injury.

​

Tania holds an Advanced Diploma of Music Industry (Performance) and is an Estill Master Trainer Candidate of the world renowned voice model Estill Voice Training (EVT).  The EVT model is evidence-based voice training based on the principles of motor learning to help voice users gain new vocal skills through the art of deliberate practice.  She is certified in LSVT Loud, the gold voice therapy approach for people living with Parkinsons Disease and is also the group facilitator for the Hospital Research Foundation's Shout Out Singing Group. Tania is also a Vocal Health First Aider with Vocal Health Education UK.

​

Her passion and interest in the mind, body, voice connection inspired Tania to complete her Neurochange Practitioner ™  certification, enabling clients to use the power of neuroscience to help set and achieve vocal goals. This work enables voice users to work through limiting beliefs that may contribute in goal deflection, using the principles of neuroplasticity to make long lasting and positive mindset changes.

​

She volunteers on the board of directors at the Australian Dysphonia Network and the Australian Voice Association and is a past committee member for the Australian National Association of Teachers of Singing.  Tania is one of few authorised vocal instructors of Los Angeles based organisation Vocology In Practice and is a member of The Australian Society for Performing Arts Healthcare and a student member of Speech Pathology Australia.

​

Tania's extensive vocal coaching experience includes working with clients of all ages in varied educational settings. She has coached as part of the vocal team for the University of Adelaide's Bachelor of Musical Theatre, taught vocals for tertiary music students at TAFE SA, and worked with Adelaide youth theatre company Pelican Productions since 2016. She has also taught at countless high schools and primary schools

​

Of course, she has also done her fair share (maybe more) of performing – everything from cabaret and musical theatre to corporate events and as part of the Adelaide Fringe award-winning act The Three Little Sisters, which she also directs. She’s also the founder and director of Adelaide live entertainment company T&S Live   And that’s really just the tip of the iceberg…​

Melissa’s interest in music and learning has brought her on a colourful, musical journey. In her earlier years, she studied classical piano (ABRSM Grade 8), trained in classical voice (Trinity Grade 5) and played the flute and piccolo in a marching band. She has years of experience performing in a variety of settings including church performances, choral performances, and at weddings. Her strongest passion has always been in using the voice as an instrument. Her curiosity sparked a desire to better understand how we can develop the use of this uniquely personal instrument to its fullest potential. This ultimately led her to Adelaide where she completed her Master of Speech Pathology at Flinders University. Melissa has also completed The Estill Voice Training Course Levels 1 & 2 and is working towards the Estill Certificate of Figure Proficiency.

 

Melissa’s former training in psychology, play therapy, and teaching allowed her to gain experience in working with children of all ages. She currently practices as a paediatric speech pathologist working in areas of speech, language, voice, fluency, feeding, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). She enjoys working with neurodiversity and believes in empowering every individual with a voice to effectively communicate and express themselves be it through speech or singing. Melissa is also a clinical educator for the Flinders University Fluency and Voice Student Clinic at the Women's and Children's Hospital.

Please note Melissa is currently on extended leave until mid 2024.
