A bit about me!

​

Hi Everyone!

I’m Emelie, founder and teacher at The Voice Box Limerick!

From a young age, I was always singing. In Primary School I was involved in drama, dance, and auditioned for every solo! But when I entered Secondary School, I became quite shy and only sang only in private. That all changed when, at 16,  my passion for singing became known to my teachers and they encouraged me to join in for the Transition Year school musical! They gave me a main role and a song to sing by myself and I absolutely loved it!

​

After the TY musical my parents found me a singing teacher and I began private singing lessons. With each lesson my confidence grew. It was then I realised what I wanted to do: not just to sing, but to be a teacher who could inspire that same confidence in others.

​

After completing a PLC course in Performing Arts, I went on to study at the University of Limerick, graduating in 2014 with an honours degree in Voice and Dance. Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my knowledge and skills, completing teacher training with BAST, qualifying as a Vocal Health First Aider, and becoming the first Modern Vocal Trainer in Limerick. I absolutely love to study and continue to attend as many courses as I can! I have included a list of all the courses and webinars I have attended below! Along the way, I’ve taught in schools, stage schools, community centres, choirs, and studios, always seeking to learn and

grow.

My School Ethos

​

The Voice Box is built on four key values:

✨ Creativity – encouraging every student to explore their voice freely.
✨ Vocal Health – teaching safe, sustainable techniques.
✨ Confidence – helping singers feel comfortable in their own voices.
✨ Affordability – keeping lessons accessible with flexible pricing.

​

Exams are a great tool but they do not suit every student so I didn't want that to be the main focus in my classes.  Instead, I create personalised goals and relaxed performance opportunities, from open mic nights to community events, so that every singer can progress at their own pace.

​

Performance Opportunities 

​

What started as online open mics during the pandemic has now grown into in-person and online get togethers in Limerick. Students have performed at local venues such as, s Melody, The Urban Co-op and Wickham Way. We have raised  funds for charities such as The Irish Guide Dogs, Jigsaw, Limerick Feral Cats, and ASD Ireland.

 In 2021 I was absolutely chuffed to be able to add guest teachers with topics such as ukulele and performance anxiety. In 2023 I created Sing Club, a free club for students to meet and discuss all things music!

​

I feel so grateful every day to be doing what I love: helping singers find their voice, grow in confidence, and achieve their goals.

​

🎶 Happy Singing!
Emelie
