"Fantastic news that Marianne Rigby is opening up her voice coaching studio online!

As a singer and songwriter, I received invaluable help from Marianne when she coached me on pronunciation and lyric writing for my CD "Strange New Land". 

Whenever I have questions about finding the right 'ring' for a song title, polishing a phrase in my lyrics, a press text or on pronunciation of English in my singing, Marianne is my number 1 source of advice: I completely trust her and her calm and patient, yet very witty, teaching style is a pleasure to study with."
