We’re delighted to welcome Nadine Cox as a Voice Study Centre Independent Researcher!
Nadine is one of three associates of renowned singing teacher, Mark Meylan. She has a PG Cert (Distinction) in Voice pedagogy, a BA Hons in French and Modern European Studies from UCL and a French Literature degree from The Sorbonne, Paris.
She runs a successful private teaching practice with an extensive list of adult and young professional clients, and has clients working in television, theatre, musical theatre, in both touring and West End Productions. She is an experienced studio session singer and voice over artist. She is also a resident singing teacher at Trinity Laban and Emil Dale Academy.
She has previously been a vocal consultant for the Nottingham Playhouse production of Identical working with the three sets of lead twins, for Runaway Productions on Newsies working with one of the leads, and for DreamWorks, working with the child leads on the Netflix production “Rhyme Time Town”.
She works closely with a children’s NHS Voice Service and collaboratively with Speech and Language Therapists to support children and young people who have had voice disorders to sing and perform again.
Nadine is committed to the vocal health education of singers, particularly those working professionally and those in undergraduate, full time musical theatre training settings. The vocal load of undergraduate musical theatre singer cohorts is intense by very nature of the training setting. Her aim is to bring about significant change within those settings regarding vocal health and to teach young and young adult singers how to advocate for their vocal health and how to take that forward into the working professional environment after graduation. The vocal load and vocal expectations of professional singers in shows is also extremely demanding. Nadine is passionate about teaching professional singers how to maintain their vocal health and how to advocate for themselves when, for example, navigating the tricky territory of withdrawing from a performance when poorly, or knowing how to take control of their vocal experience in any situation.
Her research investigates the vocal health of full-time, cis gender female undergraduate musical theatre performers.
Although she no longer performs, Nadine has a wealth of performing credits in the West End, with the National Theatre and in touring productions, spanning 30 years.
