ABOUT THE GUEST 

Chris Johnson started his performance career in a casual choir before working as a professional singer for 12 years. During the early part of his career, his busy schedule took its toll on his voice. Narrowly missing a serious vocal injury, Chris relearned his instrument and started on a never-ending journey of vocal development. 

After seeking help and turning his own seemingly ‘hopeless’ voice around, Chris realised he might also be able to help other singers and moved into vocal coaching. 

Chris has worked with major label artists, West End leads, backing vocalists, singer/songwriters and vocal coaches. He also helps singing teachers worldwide navigate the overwhelming amount of pedagogical information available to them, and develop their technical and business acumen, mainly via the courses he delivers through his programme: Teach Voice. 

Chris has also trained in manual laryngeal therapies and studied with scientists in vocal acoustics, physical and somatic therapy, and laryngology. He’s also one half of The Naked Vocalist podcasting/blogging duo.

ABOUT THE GUEST 

Wendy Rolls enjoys working with singers of all ages as teacher, conductor and performer. Her work is informed by a wide-ranging background with a Master of Music Studies in vocal pedagogy from Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, Bachelor of Veterinary Science (UQ), Bachelor of Education (QUT), and an Australian Kodály Certificate.

Wendy has worked with many young female singers as choristers and music students, including twelve years in a singing-based school music program, from early childhood to middle school.

Wendy currently divides her time teaching singing at two Brisbane secondary girls’ schools and private studio, conducting an auditioned chamber choir for middle school girls, and PhD study.

Following her Masters' thesis on the pedagogical needs of adolescent female singers, Wendy recognised the need for a clear and simple way to explain girls' voice change. The subsequent pamphlets were well received by both teachers and students, and she was encouraged to explore this area more deeply. Wendy’s current PhD study involves one-to-one singing lessons with nine girls whilst tracking their vocal development and responses to changes they experience.

She has presented at workshops and conferences on vocal pedagogy, vocal health, and musicianship for singers
