About Akansha

I am a singer, actor, song-writer, activist and teacher with a passion for all things joyful and musical. I began my singing journey learning Hindustani classical singing at the age of 7 and later adopting Western styles of singing at the age of 12.
At high school I discovered her passion for musical theatre as I took part in musicals such as
Hello Dolly, and Into The Woods in which I portrayed 'The Baker’s Wife'. When studying my Bachelor of Education at Monash university in 2015 I enjoyed playing the role of 'Ivy' in Monash University Student Theatre’s rendition of Bare:A Pop Opera.

I then pursued her passion for performance by studying a Bachelor of Music Theatre at Federation University Arts Academy (formerly Ballarat Academy of Performing Arts) where I discovered an immense joy in learning by setting myself extra study goals, exploring varied repertoire, masterclasses, song-writing, playing guitar, and gaining leading and understudying roles in several university productions.

I have trained in intensives with such Broadway stars as Shoshana Bean, Arielle Jacobs, Michael James Scott, Natalie Weiss, and Jodie Langell. I have also sung in masterclasses with renowned names in Australian musical theatre such as actor Simon Burke, vocal coach and actress Lisa-Marie Parker, and composer/writer duo Kurt Kansley and Oliver Lidert.

Since graduating in 2019 I have taught singing technique and acting-through-song through the Akansha H Vocal Studio, and simultaneously committed myself to continually learning, training and auditioning in order to establish my place in the Australian music theatre industry and teach my students current, holistic, nurturing, practical methods to improve their performance technique and audition practices.

About the lesson

My classes are vastly technique-based, with a focus on freeing your breath and creating ease of movement to build a more versatile and reliable instrument. I also offer acting-through-song coaching, and all of my regular students have blossomed over time and achieved many of their personal and professional goals, ranging from musical theatre auditions to engaging with record labels and publishing original music of various genres.

Here are a few testimonials from students:

“I’ve been doing online singing lessons with Akansha since early 2020. My singing has improved so much over this time, and I have developed a much better awareness of mouth shape, tongue placement, tone, breath control, and musicality. I began lessons with Akansha during the Melbourne lockdown, and I was pleasantly surprised that Zoom classes are as effective as in-person ones. Now that I have moved interstate, I’m continuing our online lessons - they’re that good! As a teacher, Akansha is friendly, engaging and supportive, and provides useful constructive advice in a way that makes sense to me. I have recommended her to all my friends and suggest that anyone interested in improving their singing book a lesson with her.” – Rosie

“Akansha is one of the most talented and versatile vocal coaches I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Her teaching method is thorough and systematic and geared towards creating solid vocal technique foundations to take advantage of a singer's natural strengths in a safe and encouraging environment. I've had several vocal coaches over the years, including ones that produced X Factor finalists, and my classes with her are by far the best and have netted me the fastest increase in skill and stamina (she really knows how to teach). I have already recommended her to all of my friends!” – Aurnab

“Akansha knows exactly how to tailor her students’ learning experiences to suit their needs and challenge them enough to push them further along their singing journey. She encourages her students with positive affirmations and is quick to provide solutions when students are having trouble. She is an expert at creating an environment that is comfortable and welcoming enough to allow her students to produce their best work. She is non-judgemental, knowledgeable, and widely accepting of all kinds of learners. She cares very much about the journey to becoming a healthier singer. I am immensely grateful for her quick-wit, her kindness, and her work.” - Katie

Akansha is a warm and friendly teacher who has helped me to greatly improve my singing abilities, plus her lessons are fun!

When I have done singing lessons in the past I struggled to understand teacher instructions that were vague or particularly metaphorical - like "sing from the top of your head". Akansha uses anatomical knowledge and useful exercises to help me develop technique in a way that actually makes sense to me.

I would recommend her to absolutely everyone. I do classes with her via Zoom, and enjoy them more than the in-person classes I have done elsewhere.
