She also coaches actors privately in microphone technique and audition pieces.
Tamsin started her singing career as the ‘tall’ half of cabaret duo ‘The Song and the Short and the Tall’, but soon crossed over into jazz, playing at key London jazz venues with some of the best musicians in the country.
She is also a successful lyricist/librettist, with six works commissioned for English National Opera and ‘Stand’ for Orlando Gough’s virtuoso choral group The Shout, which premiered in Trafalgar Square in August 2005 and featured at the BBC Proms in July 2006. ‘Alligator Train’, was premiered at the end of May 2008. Her next project is a new commission with Orlando Gough for the Stavanger Festival, December 2008.
