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 both adult students and children from age ten.

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 live performance and songwriting 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 advanced singers, a real stage to grow on.

On stage

Lead vocalist of Midnight Stanza

Tamzyn doesn't only teach performance, she lives it. She is the lead vocalist of Midnight Stanza, the band she fronts with her husband Ryan, and winners of Battle of the Bands 2026. They play their own songs alongside 80s and 90s pop-rock, folk and country, as a duo or with the full five-piece band, at venues across Johannesburg.

She also performs as a solo artist, and has produced her own shows at the Victory Theatre, Bailey's Live and Theatre on the Square.

In their words

What students and parents say

"She has an incredible ear for improving details in the music and was the driving force to helping me obtain a 96% mark in my Rockschool grade 8 exam."

Christien Conradie · student and professional singer

"Since starting lessons with The Vocal Factory my daughters voice has improved in leaps and bounds… She is an excellent teacher who is great with kids. My daughter loves her."

Natalie Williamson · parent

"She has watched me go from a shy 10 year old paralyzed by stage fright… to today, where I feel not only confident in my vocal ability, but excited to perform."
