ABOUT MY COACHING PROGRAMS
My Passion is Empowering Singers Like You to Discover Their Most Soulful Voices!
Hi, I’m Veronica Start, your holistic vocal coach. I guide singers on a transformative journey to sing with soul, combining technique, emotional awareness, and personalized guidance.
With over 20 years as a singer-songwriter and recording artist, I’ve performed across pop, blues, jazz, soul, country, and musical theatre — from vibrant clubs to intimate venues in Canada and England. My passion is helping singers discover their authentic voice through programs tailored to their unique needs.
My Story: From Silent Fear to Soulful Expression
As a mixed-heritage woman and a member of a Cree Nation in Alberta I am a survivor of intergenerational trauma, from a home inflicted with poverty, chronic abuse, neglect, addictions and an absence of emotional support. Singing was my secret passion, but it took years of building up the courage and self-discovery to even imagine pursuing it fully.
A turning point came in my teens when a strict vocal teacher brought me to tears and it became clear that in order to become a better singer, I needed to heal as a person and leave those toxic environments behind. Over the last 20 years, I worked to embrace my emotional nature - seeking empathetic guidance, musical mentors, and intensely studying psychology to understand how our experiences shape our voices.
My psychological and musical studies taught me how to take safe risks, set achievable goals, and succeed in accomplishments I once thought impossible — including performing confidently, recording original music, and having my voice heard by over 50 million people worldwide.
Why I’m The Coach to Bring You Singing Success!
Using research insights from neuropsychology, trauma-informed-whole-body learning; and my lived-experience as a singer and recording artist, I guide singers to:
- Overcome fears
- Connect with their unique voice
- Sing with confidence, soul, and presence.
My approach is empathetic, non-judgemental with defined programs that are personally tailored to each singers goals.

What is a Sovereign Singer?
A sovereign singer is someone who holds full authority over their own voice and artistic path, making choices that reflect their story and style. You become the confident ruler of your own vocal kingdom. No longer will you be at the mercy of vocal coaches, teachers, or producers who want to steer you away from your authentic vision. You will become a collaborator and a partner, making well-informed choices.
My ‘Trauma-Informed’ Approach
Many singers feel held back by past criticism, lack of encouragement, or self-doubt, which affects their voice and confidence.
My approach creates a safe, choice-driven space to:
- Build practical vocal skills
- Connect technique to emotions, values, and identity
- Focus on empowerment, joy, and authentic expression
All programs are delivered online via a high-quality platform (60-minute sessions), with a minimum of 4 sessions for meaningful, layered growth.
