ISABELLA ROBERTS (Jagged Little Pill, Cats)
Darren Mapes is an exceptional vocal coach who has helped me prepare for numerous musical theatre auditions. His attention to detail, supportive attitude and performance tips makes him one of Sydney’s most sought after singing teachers.
I Can’t thank Darren enough for all of his help, support and of course vocal coaching over the years! He has worked with me to prepare for many auditions, been my accompanist at gigs and has given me vital performance advice. Lucky to have him as a singing teacher and friend.
Because of Darren’s vast knowledge of repertoire and vocal technique, as well as having a broad understanding of acting and musical styles, he is the perfect mix for a great vocal coach. He is well equipped to nurture and guide artists in any genre, giving encouragement and guidance to those preparing for auditions, or performances for stage and screen.
