Tim Uffindell
I have been teaching in the world of voice for the last seven years. My work encompasses lots of different disciplines which include:
- Animateur
- Singer
- Singing Teacher
- Vocal Coach
- Voice Actor
- Workshop Leader
- Choir Leader for Soul Children UK, as well as an ‘Extended Voice’ Music Education Leader and Trainer for Resonant Tails. (This is an artwork instrument that enables children with PMLD - Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities - to express themselves vocally and compose sophisticated soundscapes).
When I’m not voicing, you will find me playing the piano, exercising or on a hike enjoying shooting landscape photography.
