Musical Theatre 

​

Amber has been working with my daughter Georgia (13) for just over a month now. Georgia has always loved to sing, but previously only really in private: her anxiety, which affects all aspects of her life, has generally prevented her from singing in front of other people. Even when auditioning for parts at her drama group, performing has been difficult. Her voice has always been attractive, when she concentrates on what she is singing, but her ability to project has been negligible – I don’t know whether this is anxiety, actual voice issues or both, but it doesn’t really matter.
After her second lesson with Amber, her mother and I heard her practising, and were astounded. She truly sounded like an entirely different person, projecting her song with vigour and power. And, after this week’s lesson, she sought out her mother and asked her if they could sing together. This was previously unimaginable!
Georgia is autistic, and her problems with anxiety affect every aspect of her life. I won’t say that her life has changed entirely, but she is far more open, outgoing and just plain pleasant to be with than she was before. Her life, and by extension our lives have already been significantly improved by working with Amber. And for that, we are massively grateful.

Acting Through Song

​

​An amazing singing lesson with the brilliant Amber Topaz. Amber helped me get out of my head and into my body, releasing tension and strain I didn’t even know I was carrying. Her keen yet relaxed insight allowed me to connect with the music on a much deeper level.

Rather than chasing the “perfect” sound, Amber encouraged me to approach challenging technical sections through acting and characterization. Using playful code words and archetypes, she helped me bring color, light, and shade to each song, unlocking the emotion and story behind it. With her guidance, I was able to let go of overthinking and just breathe. And boom, the songs just started flowing. 

 

If you need help with audition songs, creating an act, vocal health, or acting through song, I can’t recommend Amber enough. After just one session, I feel empowered and a huge sense of relief and am now hitting notes that were stressing me out before—with ease. Amber’s playful yet clear, masterful direction helped me unlock each song in such a unique way. She’s a true artist, an inspiring guide, and an absolute gem.
