I’m a creative vocalist, vocal improvisation facilitator, and coach. Working under the name Bird Flies Free, I specialise in helping nervous and inhibited singers to unlock their inner artist, and sing with true freedom and confidence in front of others.

In 2017 I discovered Collaborative Vocal Improvisation (CVI) – an art form in which a group of singers create unaccompanied vocal music on the spot. The intense nerves I used to experience when improvising became a ‘call to adventure’ that opened up a deep exploration of my voice, my nervous system, and my past. My own journey of developing vocal confidence has led me to develop a powerful toolkit of insights and techniques that I now share with my students.

Since discovering CVI, I’ve dedicated myself to the study and practice of it, training with many of the UK’s leading practitioners. These include Briony Greenhill, Emma Coleman, Guillermo Rozenthuler, and Kate Smith. I’ve contributed vocals to a multi-award-winning film, and last year made my festival debut as a piano-based songwriter. I’m currently writing songs for my first album.

“I felt entirely safe and held in Danielle’s workshop and I didn’t ever feel exposed or on the spot. Danielle is a wonderful facilitator who created a space that was fun and playful but also tender and open.” Amy Lawrence
