Testimonials
Samantha Ho, Performer, Cabaret, West End
“Since having singing lessons with Diarm, my confidence has grown so much. I used to dread going into singing auditions, often not making it past the initial rounds. Now, thanks to Diarm's incredible support and guidance, always creating a safe space in which to be vulnerable, my success at auditions has massively improved. With his help, I have grown so much into my voice and improved immensely in terms of technique and confidence. I always look forward to my lessons, knowing I'll always leave having learnt something new about myself and with a smile on my face.”

My voice, once confined, now flourishes on stage and set alike, thanks to Diarm's expertise. His mentorship is an immeasurable asset that has elevated my vocal artistry to new levels.”
Sam Waller, Recording Artist
“Diarm's coaching has completely changed my singing. His immediate understanding of my voice meant I saw results so fast. I now lead live shows with confidence, owing my vocal excellence to him. Beyond his skill, his personality made for a comfortable learning environment from day one. Diarm doesn't just teach singing; he elevates your musical adventure.”
Tinashe Darikwah, Actor, Cuffed, Theatre 503
“Working with Diarm has been an incredible asset to my voice and acting. His expertise in breathing, resonance, and projection allowed me to access my full voice. This was particularly crucial for my role in the stage production 'Cuffed,' where I needed to seamlessly switch between powerful, aggressive shouts and gentle, soothing tones at a moment's notice. Diarm not only taught me the techniques to achieve this vocal versatility but also emphasised the importance of doing so safely. He ensured that my voice remained readily accessible, in tip-top shape during both rehearsals and performances. His guidance has been be a big part of my success, and I cannot recommend him enough.”
Vanessa Mottram, Vocalist, Royal Carribean Cruises
“I can’t even begin to explain how much Diarm has improved both my voice and my confidence. I was always a dancer who could sing, but never strong enough to be a lead singer or play a principal role. Since having weekly lessons with him for over a year my audition success skyrocketed. He helped me secure a Dubai Residency contract as a Lead Vocalist with Scarlett Entertainment as well Lead Vocalist for Royal Caribbean. Couldn’t have done it without his performance guidance and technical knowledge. Forever grateful!”
Jenna Bonner, Performer, Tina The Musical, West End
“Having Diarm as my teacher for over two years has been an incredible journey. I've seen a profound improvement in my vocal and performance skills during this time. Without his guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today. He creates a safe space for me to make mistakes, and whenever I face vocal issues, we work together to resolve them. Diarm has been instrumental in developing both my classical and contemporary singing abilities as well as helping my audition and performance techniques. Not only is he an outstanding singing teacher, but he's also skilled at teaching acting through song. In a single lesson, we cover various aspects, from vocal drills and exercises to repertoire selection and tactics and objectives in songs. This comprehensive approach has boosted my confidence in auditions. Diarm can adapt his teaching to any level of singer, and I can vouch for his effectiveness since I started with no prior singing training two years ago and am now a working professional in the West End. I plan to continue having Diarm in my life for a long time.”
Gary Tushaw, Les Miserables, Queens Theatre (West End)

"Diarm skillfully facilitated an environment that silenced my inner fears of embarrassment and anxiety, fostering a space where there were no mistakes or concerns of going "too far." Moreover, his inventive exercises and warm-up routines injected a fresh energy into our scenes, enhancing our ability to truly connect and listen to one another onstage. Collaborating with Diarm was nothing short of extraordinary, and the invaluable techniques he taught me will always be an important part of my rehearsal journey."

"It’s been so wonderful working with Diarm! Before, I often found myself ill-prepared for singing auditions, and feelings of discouragement were all too common. However, since my journey with Diarm from 2022 onwards, I've witnessed huge growth in my singing abilities. I've also achieved incredible milestones, securing roles in some of the most prestigious musical productions both on the West End and globally. I owe so much to Diarm for his invaluable guidance and constant support."
