ABOUT MADELEINE
Madeleine Rowland-Roberts has been teaching and coaching singing in Canberra and Queanbeyan since 2009. A lifelong singer, she began lessons at just 11 years old and has since performed in more than 20 amateur and professional musicals, operettas, and operas. Her passion lies in helping students expand their vocal range, build confidence, and discover new versatility in their voices.
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING & EXPERTISE
Madeleine continually invests in her professional development, with advanced training through Estill Voice International and Accent Method Breathing. These frameworks have given her a detailed understanding of vocal anatomy, enabling her to help singers isolate and strengthen specific voice qualities. She is also an active member of the Australian National Association of Teachers of Singing (ANATS) and regularly attends workshops to stay at the forefront of vocal pedagogy.
INCLUSIVE & GENDER-AFFIRMNG PRACTICE
Through years of experience working with trans and gender-diverse students, Madeleine has developed inclusive techniques to support clients exploring both higher and lower pitch ranges, resonance shifts, and tonal variation. These same evidence-based methods apply to spoken voice training, offering safe, affirming pathways for authentic self-expression.
​
Madeleine’s professional background in law, sociology, and disability advocacy, combined with mental health training, equips her with a deep understanding of social context and lived experience. This insight informs her empathetic, holistic approach to coaching, where every client is seen and supported as a whole person.
About the Gender-Affirming Voice Course
Recognising the lack of live, community-based trans voice training in Canberra, Madeleine has designed this groundbreaking small-group program to help bridge that gap. The weekly sessions explore both voice feminisation and masculinisation, blending vocal science with compassionate guidance.
​
Each course is developed entirely by Madeleine, grounded in her extensive understanding of voice mechanics and human connection. She is also happy to collaborate with speech therapists and ENTs where more complex vocal care is needed, ensuring clients receive the most comprehensive support possible.​​​​
