TESTIMONIALS
VOCAL COACH
Having worked with Chris as my vocal coach for over 2 years now, I can honestly say he is an absolute gem to work with. I’ve been working as a wedding band and pub entertainer for many years but never took the time or effort to get any formal training. I approached Chris initially for some advice, not really knowing what I was getting into. What has happened since has been hugely rewarding. He has taught me so much; unlocked areas of my voice that I didn’t know existed. Most importantly in my game, he has taught me how to manage the voice better so I don’t get burnt out after a handful of gigs. Learning the correct techniques has enabled me to do so much more and actually enjoy singing so much more. Apart from his outstanding professional skills as a coach, he is also one of life’s great guys and fun to work with. I would highly recommend Chris as a professional vocal coach to anyone - young or old

Chris has been my vocal coach for the last 2 years. Chris was quickly able to identify my vocal strengths and areas where I could improve. He introduced me to a variety of techniques which we use to strengthen my vocals and my breathing techniques.
Chris has a great belief in my ability and knows how to encourage me to challenge myself. With his support my vocal range has significantly increased. If I identify particular area in which I’m struggling vocally, Chris will always coach me through it and help me to find a way to overcome the issue. I enjoy every single class with Chris, he is always very professional and so supportive. I hope to continue to work with Chris throughout my singing career and I couldn’t recommend a better person for the job. - Saibh Skelly, Singer/Songwriter, RubyWorks Records
VOCAL COACH
My daughter has been attending singing lessons weekly with Chris for the last year - and she absolutely loves it. Chris takes the time to get know his students, so that all his lessons are tailored to individual students. My daughter absolutely loves attending Chris, and she can see and hear the improvement in her voice and technique since she started. Chris challenges her, is honest with his feedback, and instills confidence - all done in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Chris is very straight, honest and a pleasure to deal with - I couldn't recommend Chris highly enough.

VOCAL COACH
My daughter started singing lessons last year with zero confidence in herself. Chris took her for her first lesson and she came out with the biggest smile ever. Chris made her believe in herself and the talent she has, that she had the confidence to do her first grade music exam and passed with flying colours. She also did a drama class through another school, which Chris was part of at the time and we have been waiting for the Currid school of performing arts to open to transfer there. My daughter is extremely happy to be taking a couple of extra classes this year and cant wait to see what lies ahead. Exciting times. Thanks so much to a fantastic, down to earth, fun teacher.

Before I started getting lessons with Chris I’d been singing for years, but didn’t really understand my voice. He made me aware of correct technique and singing healthily. My voice has changed dramatically over the past year as a result. He was able to increase my range and enhance my tone. Since going to lessons, I’ve gotten three lead roles in musicals and will be performing in the national opera house. I couldn’t have done it without Chris.

ACTOR/SINGER TESTIMONIAL
Chris Currid is the consummate professional – a singer/actor of enormous talent and magnetic stage presence. I’ve had the pleasure of directing Chris on several occasions - most notably when he played the title role in Michael Collins, a Musical Drama,(Overall Winner 2019 AIMS). This is such a challenging role, demanding in its emotional depth and range. Chris inhabited the role completely, delivering a towering performance both musically and dramatically. As a performer, Chris is totally dedicated to any project he undertakes; he prepares meticulously and gives everything to the rehearsal process. For a man of such talent, he is remarkably humble, unfailingly courteous, a strong team player and a pleasure to work with. I wish Chris every success in his career, knowing that he is an invaluable asset to any musical or theatrical venture.

ACTOR/SINGER/VOCAL COACH
Chris stepped into the role of Judas in Sean Gilligan Performing Arts Production of Jesus Christ Superstar in September 2019, at very short notice. His professionalism was incredible and his performance outstanding. He brought a sense of drama to the role which coupled with his stunning vocal ability was both powerful and effective, having audiences at the edge of their seats. Chris is lucky enough to have a unique singing voice which is very adaptable and makes him a very sought after talent.
In addition, having given a number of vocal workshops at Sean Gilligan Performing Arts, Chris has proven to be a skilled voice coach who puts students at ease and brings out the very best in their vocal ability.
