Meet Georgie
Hi! Thanks for dropping by.! So, a little bit about me. I am an Onion, there are so many layers it would be impossible (and pretty boring) to go through everything I do or have done in my life, so I’ll attempt to keep it brief! In 2023 I achieved a Master’s degree in Professional Practice (Voice Pedagogy) from the University of Wales. I suppose not many people decided to do a Master's degree as a result of the Covid Pandemic, and there were definitely times I wished I was spending my time in the garden like most normal people! Since completing my MA, I have qualified as a Trans Voice Alteration specialist, Vocal Health first aider, and Vocal Habilitation Professional and Laryngeal Massage therapist. I studied on the Estill Master Trainer pathway with Anne Marie Speed and the Voice Explained and currently lecture in singing technique and Contemporary Commercial Music, at Performers College, Birmingham and Addict Dance Academy in Leicester. I have also sat on the Audition Panel at Performers College since 2021. I also currently deliver 1-1 sessions with students and staff at the University of Warwick through Warwick Arts Centre. Due to a former life in Public Protection, my MA dissertation lead me to research and develop training for emergency services and public service personal to highlight the importance of verbal and non-verbal communication skills when dealing with emotive situations. I have also recently developed CPD training for professional and heavy voice users, and women experiencing changes to their voice due to aging and hormonal changes. My ethos is very much community over competition, and I strive to offer all of my students opportunities to thrive and achieve whatever goals they might have. I host regular local open mic nights in the Coventry area, and seek out competition and collaboration opportunities wherever possible for my students, such as the recent 'Let it be Live' 'build a band' and 'battle of the bands' competitions at HMV Empire in Coventry. (Which were both won by GMV students). I am so proud of all of my students, and many have gone on to be successful recording and performing artists, West End and touring theatre performers, TV actors, and successful public speakers, lecturers and business professionals. 2026 brings more adventures for the team as we collaborate with a wonderful local business to offer workshops, holiday courses and retreats.

Stanley, the studio dog.
(aka; Stan the Man, Nobby)
Stan is often in the studio with me when his dad is working away.
​
He is generally a very good boy, he loves to play with his toy duck, or nap on the sofa while people sing.
Stan genuinely believes he is the boss of the studio. He is very nosy and has no manners whatsoever, so do expect his nose in your business before you realise he is there!
​
He does also occasionally woof at the doorbell (or at me if he thinks I am withholding treats).
​
and Alex.
Alex is Stan's dad, and can often be met on the way in or out having 'popped in' with forgotten glasses, mobile phones, and lunch (amongst many other things!).
​
Alex is many things to many people, but in the studio he brings the calm to GM Voice, he is the no.1 Hype man, DJ, promoter, and ideas sound-board, voice of reason, the brake on my rollercoaster (when needed) and lifter of heavy things.
