“When the audition is tomorrow and the nerves have arrived, one hour can make all the difference.”
Even the most confident singers can feel the pressure before an audition. You know your song, but you’re not sure if it’s sitting quite right. Or perhaps you’ve just been told about a new opportunity and have less than a day to prepare.
That’s when a last-minute audition consultation can be exactly what you need.
At Nicholas Martin Singing School in London, these one-hour sessions are designed to help you make the most of every minute — improving your technique, refining your song choice, and giving you the confidence to walk into your audition ready to perform.
One-Hour Audition Consultation – £75
Price: £75 per hour
Format: One-to-one consultation with Nicholas Martin
A consultation class gives you an honest, professional assessment of where your voice stands today. Together, we look at your strengths, areas for improvement, and any technical habits that might hold you back under pressure.
You’ll receive:
- A realistic review of your vocal ability and potential
- Personalised guidance on technique, breath control, and delivery
- Song analysis and coaching on your chosen piece
- Repertoire suggestions suited to your voice and audition brief
- Confidence-building strategies for performance day
“In just one hour, we can identify what your voice needs most and focus on the details that make the biggest impact.”
For Those Last-Minute Auditions
Auditions often come up quickly — a callback, a last-minute opening, or an unexpected opportunity. These moments are exciting but can also be daunting if you don’t feel fully prepared.
A one-off audition singing lesson helps you:
- Polish your existing song
- Adjust technique for better tone and stamina
- Make smart repertoire choices if you’re unsure what to sing
- Gain the mental focus and calm needed to perform with confidence
Even if you have just one night to prepare, professional guidance can turn panic into poise.
“My goal is always the same — to help you walk into that audition room knowing your voice is ready.”
What to Expect in Your Session
Your one-hour consultation is completely focused on your audition goal.
Here’s how it typically works:
- Quick conversation: We discuss your upcoming audition, what you’ll be performing, and any challenges you’re facing.
- Vocal assessment: A short warm-up to hear where your voice sits naturally that day.
- Song work: Immediate, practical feedback on your chosen piece — breathing, tone, phrasing, storytelling.
- Problem-solving: Quick, effective exercises to fix the issues that matter most.
- Final run-through: A full sing-through with notes to help you carry the improvements into your performance.
You’ll leave the session feeling clear, supported, and ready to perform at your best.

- Performers with limited time before an important audition
