Description

Hi singers and performers! I am so excited to help you start singing with confidence so you can have more creative lives as performing artists!

This podcast is for you if you...

Wish you could start singing, acting, auditioning, and performing on stage with confidence.

Keep telling yourself that you’re going to get back into singing but never do.

Wish you had a creative outlet outside of your career and obligations, but are afraid people will judge you.

Want to start taking vocal lessons but don’t know where to start.

Want to start auditioning and performing in community theatre.

Want to improve your vocal range and sing better.

Want to gain confidence in your singing voice

Want to get over stage fright and your fear of singing in front of others

Want to do vocal warm ups and start voice training and ACTUALLY see a different in your voice.

I get it, because I’ve been there! Hi, I’m Estelle, a Professional Singer, Actor, and Voice Teacher for aspiring adult singers and performers in my online studio, Creatively Performing Arts. I also teach and music direct locally in North Carolina at various music studios and theatres!

I’m also a theatre kid at heart even in my 20’s! I grew up performing, but the world kept telling me to save the arts for retirement or the weekends because they aren’t “serious pursuits”. So I didn’t focus on growing those skills as much in college and struggled to feel confident in my love for singing and performing.

However, after college, I realized I had those creative gifts and passions for a reason. So, in spite of my fears, I decided to start growing my skills in singing, dancing, and acting! I began to build more confidence in my dreams and my voice as a singer over TIME.

I want to help you do the same - build confidence in your singing voice and performance skills, so that you can live out your creative dreams!

On this show, you’ll get beginner singing, performing, and creativity tips. You will learn how to sing with more confidence, how to train your voice, how to start performing on stage with confidence, how to go audition for community theatre and other shows, how to start singing at open mic nights and on social media, how to find ways to be creative every day, and MORE!

You’ll even get mindset tips to help you take action on your creative gifts in spite of imposter syndrome, self-doubt, rejection, and fear of what people think so you can finally start singing and building confidence in your voice!

With incredible, guests from Broadway performers to a Latin Grammy award winner, to local theatre and music artists, and my own current and past experiences, this will be your one-stop shop for all things singing, performing, and creative inspiration! Plus, you’ll hear lots of fun musical theatre references!


Alright choir lovers and theatre kids, this is your time. Start using your creative gifts again to sing with CONFIDENCE!

Hi creatives! Ready to start adding some riffs and runs to your songs but struggling to actually sing them? These flourishes are so fun to add as you're singing, but it may take practice to start adding them and perfecting them. It helps to do exercises that build vocal agility! So let's try one! Be sure to go at your own pace and increase the speed when you're ready. I start on the A below middle C.
