Wendy Carle Taylor
The story goes that Wendy could sing before she could speak in the lovely lilting dialect of her native Aberdeenshire. She has been singing ever since, unaccompanied and with various groups at home and abroad. Wendy is a Voice Coach, Facilitator and Consultant. She is passionate about the human voice and empowering others to speak and sing with confidence and joy. She specialises in songs, old and new, from Scotland and beyond, as well as acting and performance and musical theatre. Her clients include the Scots Music Group, community education groups, corporate organisations and various charities. She is an Associate Tutor at Edinburgh University and a Specialist Lecturer at a local college. Wendy trained extensively under Frankie Armstrong and at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Wendy is an executive member of the Natural Voice Practitioners Network.
According to Sheila Stewart MBE Wendy has The Conyach – the gift of singing
from the heart.
“Wendy has a rare talent, both as a singer and a facilitator. From first
meeting her I have been struck by her lively mind and profound understanding
of the power of voice and song. Her own vocal flexibility, emotional range
and ability to communicate make her a unique contributor to whatever she is
engaged in. She has decades of experience in teaching and I’ve been very
impressed as to her ability to adapt this to a much more informal mode of
working. Her enthusiasm, mischievious sense of humour and intelligence are
infectious. As a singer I have experienced her move her audience to tears,
laughter,shivers and delight. I can thoroughly recommend her as both
facilitator and performer.”
