We are all too aware that times have been tough during the Covid-19 Pandemic, but Voice Workshop student Price has been recognised as someone who stepped up during this Crisis. With her knowledge of how singing releases endorphins, which make us feel happy, Lisa used her natural talent as a singer and performer to bring a smile back to her community.
During the struggles of the nation, which had serious implications for people’s mental health and wellbeing, Lisa set up pop up choirs online, Pop Up Online Community Singalongs, and Outdoor Socially distanced Car Park Singalongs in the Coombe Women’s and Infants University Hospital during Lockdown. She also raised over £1000 for the Charity Barretstown | Rebuilding Lives Affected by Childhood Illness.
Lisa stated, “it was the absolute least I could do for people during this time, especially for our Healthcare workers.”
She received a well deserved COVID-19 hero award, from the Lord Mayor of Dublin for all of her hard work and dedication.
Well done on your award Lisa, Voice Study Centre are so proud of you and your achievements.

Kim brought all three hats to our latest short course, a two-hour "whistle-stop tour" of the 15 areas she believes a pop-specific vocal pedagogy should cover. Fittingly, she taught it from the very room where the vocals for Kung Fu Fighting in Kung Fu Panda 3 were recorded.

After The Session: Practical Magic*: The Art & Science of Balancing Voices with SOVTs and VFEs with Melanie Tapson
Voice Study Centre
Thursday 22nd October 2026What makes a vocal exercise effective? Is it the tool itself, the way we use it, or our understanding of what happens when we put it into practice? In Practical Magic: The Art & Science of Balancing Voices with SOVTs and VFEs, voice teacher and professional singer Melanie Tapson explored the science behind two widely used approaches to voice training: Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises (SOVTs) and Vocal Function Exercises (VFEs).
