Talena Smith BA(hons) is a specialist providing vocalists with the techniques required for powerful & extreme vocals. From the genres of Pop & RnB to Rock & Metal, Talena will give you the skills needed to belt like a pop diva or growl like a metal king. Whether you are a beginner looking to train to enter this demanding field or are a professional wanting to improve your technique, Talena can offer tuition to suit your specific needs. Lessons cover vocal, stage and mic techniques as well as vocal stamina for touring and studio work.
Talena believes that vocalists wanting a ‘power’ voice should get the training needed for these extreme vocal styles. Currently a vocalist for Manchester-based metal band Gone Til Winter, Talena has been performing within these genres for many years and after becoming a singing teacher discovered that there are few resources for extreme vocalists.
