Eliot Sumner (I Blåme Coco)

As well as being a good friend, Smatka has helped me so much in taking care of not only my voice but my entire health when it comes to touring. Fronting a band isn't the easiest job in the music world. You really have to bring it and give it your all in order to engage the audience. Smatka is a huge inspiration to me and others. She has a lot of talent and passion in what she does and i have a huge amount of respect for her and her work.

Morsecode Management (artists include Paolo Nutini)

Smatka has worked with 2 Morsecode artists and will remain to be our first option for any vocal and performance coaching needs. Not only do our artists feel extremely comfortable working with her, but the results become apparent from the first session, and with each further session her methods continue to show great leaps forward in our artists vocal range and strength, stage presence, confidence and overall vocal fitness and capacity. Smatka's unique approach to vocal and performance coaching is like no other, she works to improve the physical health of our artists to ensure the muscles enabling them to sing are kept strong and healthy in order to withstand extensive touring and performing.

For all of the above reason, we could not recommend her any higher.

Rene Symonds (The Artists Organization, Black Math Music)

I have known and worked with Smatka for a number of years. She is an incredibly talented person and I consider her a part of the Black Math family. She has time and time again illustrated her talent in numerous manners. She has helped the careers of my artists immeasurably. She has been so much more than a 'vocal coach' - she has really developed their live personas and confidence. Teaching them methods to stay fit and healthy on the road, how to better their stage presence, expanding vocal range and maintaing vocal health, teaching them stage craft from her wealth of acting experience... Smatka really is the ideal stage coach. I can't advocate her skills and input in helping the careers of my artists enough.

Working with Smatka is something I re- commend for every- body, even if you're not a singer. Smat- ka's coaching is about opening up the body and getting it's different parts communicating properly. I did my first session with her a year ago and it totally turned my assumption about singing and warming up on its head. Since then its become something of a religious ceremony for my band to carry out before stage time and we do it each night without fail. Smatka is a lovely chick and she'll work hard to turn you into the next Freddy Mercury... go for it!
