Your coach

Tamzyn Lombard

Tamzyn has been coaching singers for more than 20 years, and The Vocal Factory is the school she has built from that experience: a busy, friendly studio in Sandringham with students from ten years old to adults.

She specialises in contemporary vocals with a strong technical base, so every student learns to sing the music they love safely and with confidence. Her own background in theatre and live performance shapes every lesson: it's not only about hitting the notes, but telling the story of a song and owning the stage.

That's why her students don't just sing in the studio. Tamzyn creates and hosts her own showcases, concerts and events, giving every singer, from nervous beginners to Rock School grade 8 candidates, a real stage to grow on.
