Testimonials

Robin changed my life. I was ready to quit music, and now I have not only overcome my stage fright but am more confident using my voice in all spheres of my life. Her unique approach is truly transformative. I highly recommend working with her, it's an investment in yourself.

Doing sessions with Robin has been transformative to my approach to music, my voice, and my artistic practice. Her sensitivity, enthusiasm, passion, and deeply knowledgeable practice have been amazingly inspiring and life-giving. I'm so appreciative of the practical tools, ways of thinking and feeling, and directions she has helped me explore. Can't wait to continue working with her! Highly recommended for beginners, advanced artists, and anyone looking to explore their body and voice in a safe environment.

Eve Parker Finley, musician and comedian

I took vocal lessons with Robin from 2020 to 2023, and I look back on our sessions with such fondness. I especially appreciated the body-stretching and tension-releasing exercises, which helped me connect to my body in a deeper, more spiritual way. I would leave each lesson feeling incredibly relaxed, almost like I’d been given a new lease on life.

Before working with Robin, I didn't know how to nurture my creativity. Through her guidance, I learned techniques to calm my nervous system and approach art-making with curiosity rather than fear. Our sessions often touched on many aspects of my life that were influencing how I approached music — connections I couldn’t see at the time, but now appreciate deeply.

Robin’s presence is welcoming and supportive, no matter your age or level of experience. She will show you that you and your voice are enough, and that what matters most goes far beyond the physical realm. I feel lucky to know Robin and continue to look up to the way she approaches both life and art with such a mindful, holistic practice.

Ali Levy (Ada Lea), musician, writer, visual artist

Working as a vocal student with Robin Love has truly transformed my life; her patience, grace, enthusiasm, and stunning attention to detail have helped me to develop a harmonious relationship with my voice, my body, and my spirit. Not only has my singing improved, but my understanding of my voice and control of my faculties. Robin possesses a unique ability to give thorough and precise instruction that is at once specific and comprehensive; I find myself integrating her instruction and techniques in my singing and everyday life in equal measure.

Alex Bourque (The Painters), musician and songwriter

I have found it so useful to come back to learning after years of doing, to learn how to be attentive to my voice and body, to notice tension and start to become more directly connected to my voice, my source and power! I have found Robin to be a wonderfully attentive teacher, she seems to know exactly what I need, from breathing exercises and stretches, to meditations and lyric learning techniques, and I always come away feeling more grounded, and more certain about the sounds and I ideas I want to communicate.

Lucy Farrell, (UK) singer-songwriter

Working with Robin Love was a transformative experience for me; both for my artistry and wider sense of self. Over the course of 10 weeks, we dug deep into a number of vocal issues I was experiencing, really deconstructing my technique, to address the route of my barriers. For me, Robin combined a forensic, intellectual understanding of voice, with a nurturing warmth and humour, that was so helpful for entering into a relaxed flow state during sessions. Even working through zoom, Robin's diagnostic ability shines through. She offered me so many practical techniques and resources to fundamentally change my approaches and address ingrained habits which were creating barriers to progression. As a result my vocal ability has certainly levelled up, my confidence has increased and I am better able to incorporate the idea of being a 'vocalist' into my sense of self, which is incredibly empowering. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Robin, and would love to work with her periodically, as my vocal journey unfolds.

Chris Cleverley, (UK) singer-songwriter

I have worked with Robin for several sessions and she has been of immense help, in facilitating more comfortable use of my feminine voice even in very stressful and strenuous circumstances. Her vocal and physical exercises helped me realize the inherent interconnect between my emotional states, my bodily position(s) as well as their impact on on my voice, emphasizing not only the rote vocal practice, but relaxation and breathing as well, as being uniquely impactful on the sound quality and strength of my voice.

Her experience is invaluable to any person seeking a vocal coach who is warm, affirming, yet very willing to direct and explain voice feminisation whilst making you feel safe and welcome to explore the capabilities of your voice.

I wholeheartedly recommend Robin to anybody who either never attempted voice feminisation or who might've consulted more traditional voice specialists like speech therapists and who ended up feeling discouraged or unsatisfied with the quality of their voice.

Eva B., digital asset manager

I started working with Robin to explore a voice that affirms my gender. Not only did this entail gaining awareness and control of vocal features that are perceived as gendered, it also required me to remediate the anxiety and tension I have held in my body as a result of dysphoria and trauma. Robin has provided me an open, welcoming, non-judgmental space along with breathing exercises which together have been critical to overcoming the apprehension I have around speaking and being generally comfortable in my body. After a few months of working with Robin, my relationship to my voice has changed dramatically and for this I am truly grateful.
