Meet Elle
Elle Holiday’s path into the world of music and vocal education was marked by both challenge and transformation. Growing up with a love for singing and performance lead her to study a Diploma in Jazz Voice from the Elder Conservatorium of Music in 2008, a time filled with both achievement and passion for performance.
Around the same time, Elle fell into teaching singing. She quickly realised that, like her, many singing teachers were teaching based on how their voices felt and what they had been taught in lessons by their singing teachers, without a deep understanding of vocal anatomy. This recognition of a widespread gap in knowledge among her peers prompted Elle to dig deeper.
Elle decided to bridge this gap by studying Speech Pathology while continuing to teach and perform. She developed the Vocal Educator Toolkit (VET), an online course merging her extensive teaching experience with her clinical knowledge, designed to equip singing teachers with essential voice knowledge. The VET has gained global acceptance, emphasising that “it’s okay not to have all the answers” and that there is always room to learn and grow. This philosophy ensures that every voice teacher can feel confident and equipped to help their students, reinforcing the belief that one does not need to know everything about the voice to be a great teacher.
Capitalising on this success, Elle founded the VocaLab Voice Clinic to offer comprehensive clinical voice therapy and support, particularly for individuals with vocal injuries and those seeking voice alignment with their gender identity. Since its inception in 2020, VocaLab has expanded from Adelaide to major Australian cities and New York, promoting a supportive and innovative approach in voice therapy and education.
VocaLab Story
Creating knowledgeable, confident and empowered vocalists & vocal educators
VocaLab was founded on a vision to bridge the gap between clinical voice therapy and vocal pedagogy, making evidence-based voice science accessible to everyone; be it through the @VocaLabAU Instagram page that offers free educational posts, through the SLP run voice clinic, or through specialty singing lessons with our highly trained vocal teachers. The organisation aims to equip vocalists and professional voice users with a robust understanding of vocal anatomy and health, allowing for sustainable voice use and enhanced performance capabilities. VocaLab’s goals for vocalists are clear: to foster a holistic understanding of vocal mechanics, promote long-term vocal health, and empower individuals with the skills and knowledge to explore and enhance their vocal capabilities confidently.
The courses and services offered by VocaLab have been adopted by hundreds of vocalists, educators, SLPs, and musical directors globally, showcasing the universal appeal and effectiveness of their approach. With a presence in major cities including Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and New York, VocaLab continues to expand its influence, helping more people understand and master their vocal instrument within a supportive community that mirrors their own journey towards vocal freedom and strength.
