Coaching 

ZOY FRANGOS - Officer and a Gentlemen, Les Miserables

"I began singing with Adam in 2011 and it's no coincidence that I have been working in major musicals ever since. Adam's training has given me the confidence to perform without having to be conscious of what my voice is doing, he has instilled a solid foundation of technique, which allows me to concentrate on my acting with no compromise of my sound. If I'm having a bad day I can always rely on my technique to get me through. I am fortunate to have met teachers in every field who flick a switch in my brain, Adam is one of these teachers."

ANGELIQUE CASSIMATIS - Rock of Ages, King Kong, Rob Guest Endowment (Finalist)

"I began seeing Adam whilst covering Anne Darrow in King Kong, in the first lesson I heard and felt a huge change in my voice; it was amazing, the effortless feeling every singer hopes to find. Later that year I was lucky enough become a finalist in the Rob Guest Endowment, i worked with Adam throughout: the way he approached the songs allowed me to sing with absolute ease and confidence on the night" 

NICHOLAS JONES - Opera Australia Soloist, Sun Aria Finalist

"I've been performing professionally in opera and music theatre for 8 years now, and during this time, I have come across few vocal teachers whose skill and ingenuity matches that of Adam Lyon. His reliable, no-nonsense teaching style is based in a solid grounding of vocal anatomy and the physiology of singing, along with a keen understanding of how to apply this in the studio."

NELSON GARDNER - Chess, Beauty and the Beast, Storm the Stage (Winner)

"Adam has been my go-to guy for almost a decade now. I've been with many teachers and find myself constantly going back to him. It's not just his vast amount of knowledge on vocal technique and the anatomy behind it, but the way he applies that knowledge.  I've encouraged many people to work with him and the majority have ended up in professional productions as a result."

THOMAS BIRCH - The Ten Tenors, Europe-based operatic tenor

"Adam is as talented in the studio as he is on stage. His technical knowledge of the voice, breath management and musical interpretation combines with his pedagogical talents to provide his students with the very highest standard of vocal tuition. Adam's passion for performance and art is contagious and you can't help but leave your lesson driven to be the best singer you can be."
