“Since having singing lessons with Diarm, my confidence has grown so much. I used to dread going into singing auditions, often not making it past the initial rounds. Now, thanks to Diarm's incredible support and guidance, always creating a safe space in which to be vulnerable, my success at auditions has massively improved. With his help, I have grown so much into my voice and improved immensely in terms of technique and confidence. I always look forward to my lessons, knowing I'll always leave having learnt something new about myself and with a smile on my face.”

“Working with Diarm has completely changed how I use my voice. I understand it better, it feels freer, and I can rely on it whether I’m on stage or on set. He’s direct, knowledgeable, and knows how to get the best out of you.”

I have worked with Diarm for just over 3 years now, and I simply could not recommend him enough. I have such specific, personalised lessons catered to anything I am working on, or that is spotted as an area to strengthen. Diarm has been so patient with me and my many questions, and always has such an open, judgment-free environment to work in. I would not have the vocal confidence I have now without these sessions!

“Working with Diarm has been an incredible asset to my voice and acting. His expertise in breathing, resonance, and projection allowed me to access my full voice. This was particularly crucial for my role in the stage production 'Cuffed,' where I needed to seamlessly switch between powerful, aggressive shouts and gentle, soothing tones at a moment's notice. Diarm not only taught me the techniques to achieve this vocal versatility but also emphasised the importance of doing so safely. He ensured that my voice remained readily accessible, in tip-top shape during both rehearsals and performances. His guidance has been be a big part of my success, and I cannot recommend him enough.”

“I can’t even begin to explain how much Diarm has improved both my voice and my confidence. I was always a dancer who could sing, but never strong enough to be a lead singer or play a principal role. Since having weekly lessons with him for over a year my audition success skyrocketed. He helped me secure a multiple contracts both nationally and internationally. Couldn’t have done it without his performance guidance and technical knowledge. Forever grateful!”

“With Diarm I've seen such a profound improvement in my vocal and performance skills. Without his guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today. He creates a safe space for me to make mistakes, and whenever I face vocal issues, we work together to resolve them. Diarm has been instrumental in developing both my legit and contemporary singing abilities as well as helping my audition and performance techniques. His comprehensive approach has boosted my confidence in auditions. I started with no formal training and now work professionally in the West End as a result of his guidance and support. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

"Diarm facilitated an environment that silenced my inner fears of embarrassment and anxiety, and made a space where there were no mistakes, or concerns of going "too far." On top of that, his inventive exercises and warm-up routines injected a fresh energy into our scenes, enhancing our ability to truly connect and listen to one another onstage. Working with Diarm was fantastic, and the invaluable techniques he taught me will always be an important part of my rehearsals and warm ups."

"Before working with Diarm I would feel so unprepared for singing auditions, and feelings of discouragement were real. However, since my journey with Diarm from 2022 onwards, I've witnessed huge growth in my singing abilities. I've also achieved incredible milestones, securing roles in some of the most prestigious musical productions both on the West End and globally. I owe so much to Diarm for his guidance and constant support."
