BECOME A SPEAKER WITH ROCKSTAR CONFIDENCE

BY LEARNING HOW TO SING

This is presentation coaching with a difference - using breath, movement and singing to develop vocal confidence and your own unique presence. The outcome will be the ability to own a space and be heard.

Most confidence training teaches people to perform confidence — to stand differently, think differently, shift their pitch to sound more ‘serious’ — to fake it until they feel it. But pretending takes you away from authenticity, and audiences can feel that disconnect. Real confidence grows when you have the courage to be yourself.

Your breath is the foundation. Your body is the vehicle. Your voice is who you are.

About Susie Wilkins

Hi, I'm Susie.

I spent years as a performer crippled by stage fright and panic disorder. What transformed me wasn't mindset hacks — it was breath, body and voice. I now teach the same tools to help others find the confidence to be heard.

I'm a composer, performer and vocal coach with 30 years of experience. My music has featured on BBC, Sky Atlantic, ITV, Channel 4 and in US promos for Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder. I've performed at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, and I’m a mentor for Help Musicians, and an incoming MMus postgraduate student at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

I'm passionate about helping shy people find their voice.

The
Methodology

Breathe. Move. Sing.

A three-stage framework for nervous system regulation and authentic vocal expression, grounded in polyvagal theory and somatic practice.

We begin with breath — using evidence-based techniques including extended exhalation, the physiological sigh and box breathing to activate the vagus nerve and shift the body from threat mode into safety.

From safety, we move — releasing physical tension through somatic exercises that return awareness to the body and open the posture authentically, without performance.

And from that grounded, open state, we sing — warming the voice, finding its natural resonance and presence, and discovering that the instrument was always there.

The framework is built on a simple but profound idea: regulation precedes expression. You cannot fully access your voice from a dysregulated nervous system. And yet singing is not simply the destination — it is also part of the journey. The vagus nerve innervates the larynx, which means that humming, singing and vocal expression are themselves powerful regulators. Safety enables the voice. And the voice deepens safety.

The same voice that learns to sing in a room full of people is the voice that walks into a boardroom and owns it.

“When people sing, they control their breath. The process of singing requires expanding the duration of exhalation. During the exhalation phase of breathing, there is an increase in the effectiveness of the myelinated vagal efferent pathways on the heart. This explains how singing or playing a wind instrument would contribute to a calmer physiological state and provide greater access to the social engagement system.”
— Stephen W. Porges, The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe

What People Are Saying

  • I cannot recommend Susie highly enough. I sought Susie’s professional help primarily to find techniques and confidence for public speaking in a work capacity (conferences, investor meetings). Secondarily, I asked for help in “finding my voice”, to accompany a strong sideline interest in songwriting (recording) and singing for fun. Susie is able to get the best out of people by making them feel instantly at ease. I have since recommended Susie to several work friends and family members and friends, whether to conquer nerves in public speaking or to find their best singing voice.

    — Chris Eddis, Managing Director, Morningstone Capital Ltd

  • It took me a very long time to gather the courage to book a singing lesson--it is one of those things I fear most, right up there with air travel...but unlike flying, something I secretly yearned to do. So as my 45th birthday gift to myself I decided to go for it...and I'm so glad I did. Even though she is brilliantly, gloriously talented herself, Susie made my shyest self feel safe. She is vulnerable about her own anxiety and that makes her relatable. Through facing my fear, I was able to build courage. I highly recommend for anyone--gifted songbirds and those of us who have a crippling fear of 'Kaoake Night,' but want to learn to sing in spite of ourselves.

    — Sara DiVello, author of ‘Broadway Butterfly: A Thriller’

  • Susie is the most incredible teacher I've ever had—an absolute gem. She's helped me become a better singer in only a few weeks (so much better!) and my confidence overall has increased dramatically. Not only is she a talented artist and instructor, but she has a genuine instinct for helping people feel safe. Susie has the rare ability to help students improve and grow while also keeping things fun.

    — Amy B. Scher, bestselling author

  • Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a rockstar. One catch: I couldn’t sing on key. The moment someone else was around, rather than sing along to favorite songs on the radio, I swallowed all that passion back inside. Then I met Susie. With much grace, kindness, patience, and laughter, Susie showed me that I could sing on key. And that I actually had a pretty voice. The amount of pleasure this has brought into my life is immeasurable. Whilst I’m still not a rockstar (a bit too old), I do now happily belt out my favorite songs, sometimes even in public.

  • Susie, I would like to put on record that you were immensely helpful in preparing my speech for my daughter’s wedding. The input that you provided was a big help. This was done over multiple sessions and each session I always learned something more and improved each time. Your services were outstanding and far exceeded my expectation. Thank you for your your time and assistance in creating, revising and developing these skills. With your help I could communicate to the audience but especially to my daughter my feeling for her very effectively.
