Chris James :
​'Everyone is born with a beautiful voice!'

As we welcome 2017 we are deeply appreciative and pleased to announce that from this year onwards Chris James has joined our Practitioner Team. Chris will be offering private sessions at UniMed Brisbane as well as workshops and Interactive Concerts in the wider community.

Chris’s approach to vocal coaching and expression is unique, and once you have experienced working with him and his extraordinary, down to earth, practical style to singing and speaking with confidence, you will have the opportunity to expand in ways you may never have thought possible.

Underpinning Chris’s work is the philosophy that everyone has a voice that is clear, powerful and expressive.  “This voice may be temporarily hidden, but I have found that it is absolutely true that ‘Everyone is born with a beautiful voice’”, says Chris.
