Cambridge based Julia Caddick is a passionate communicator with a thriving singing teaching and presentation coaching practice, in person and online. She has been teaching, coaching, training, or workshop-leading for 36 years, she is surprised to realise. As well as working with singers, Julia trains business professionals in how to speak clearly in public, and deliver a presentation with impact and engagement. She gives one to one presentation coaching sessions, and leads presentation skills training courses, workshops and Masterclasses.  When work is done, Julia can usually be found singing for pleasure, practising yoga and meditation, or hiking with friends.

Presentation Coaching

Imagine... if you could speak in public with such confidence that your words were an inspiration to others; if you could light up a room when you stand up to speak; if you could share your vision and ideas with perfect clarity. You know how passionate you are about what you do, but can you communicate it to others? Good news! We can learn how to inspire others with our voice and our delivery. As an experienced voice and presentation coach, I train my clients in the skills they need to share their clarity of vision, enabling them to become confident, clear presenters, and inspirational leaders. I work with all the physical aspects of public speaking; how we use our voice, our engagement with the audience and physical presence to make a real impact. Read more...

Singing Teaching

Cambridge is a great place to be a singer, and an exciting place to be a singing teacher, too! I have a thriving practice, teaching classical singing up to Conservatoire entry level (using bel canto, Estill and Classical Voice Training methods), and Musical Theatre singing up to professional level (Estill based). I love teaching young singers aspiring to make a career out of their music. But I also enjoy teaching keen amateurs. My aim is to give all my students confidence in their technique, so they can develop their sound and enjoy their singing. Scroll down to see what some of my former students are up to these days.


Singing Teaching

As a singing teacher,  I love helping each of my students to discover their own unique voice. I enjoy enabling my students to develop a good, reliable and healthy singing technique, that will last for life . I specialise in classical and musical theatre singing, but I will work in other genres that promote healthy voice use. 

Students of all ages are welcome from 14 upwards. If you are a performer, or wanting to get into the profession, I can help you with audition preparation and one-off ‘top up’ lessons, as well as on-going lessons to help you develop your technique and style. I offer one-to-one singing lessons in person or online.

I am a fully qualified teacher with 35 years teaching experience, 22 of those as a specialist singing teacher. For an idea of where my singing lessons can lead, scroll down to Former singing students’ successes to see what some of my students are up to these days.

As a teacher, I have helped students on their way to careers in opera, professional choral singing, and musical theatre. I have been instrumental in getting students onto Conservatoire and Vocational College courses in Singing Performance and Musical Theatre. I have helped many students gain choral scholarships at Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, York and King’s College, London, and one former student was an X Factor finalist!  Many more enjoy their singing for pleasure.
