(She/her)VerifiedAbout
Iβm a seasoned coach working with quartets and choruses across Australia in contestable barbershop and broader a cappella styles. My coaching is holistic and non-category-specific: I help groups combine musical, vocal and performance elements into clear, compelling storytelling. With detailed knowledge of Sweet Adelines International and Barbershop Harmony Australia judging systems (including Music and Musicality requirements), I support repertoire strategy, arrangement modifications, and interpretive planning, from character and intention through groove and rubato. I also support Open Package development and full show prep, including scripting, blocking and staging. π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈβΎοΈI aim to offer coaching that is LGBTIQ+ inclusive, gender-affirming, and neuroaffirming. Iβm committed to creating a space where you can show up as yourself. Facebook messenger: m.me/emacappella Email: emilysacappella@gmail.com

Crystal Sound
quartet
Crystal Sound have had Emily coach us on a number of occasions. She is so generous with her time and her expertise. We think she's amazing! We love her approach... she listens well and gently, but firmly, brings the best out of each of us. Because of her theatre experience, we feel we get an extra bite into the performance knowledge and because she is an arranger, we know that she will get us singing our songs how they're meant to be sung. Emily coached us the day prior to SAA Contest in May and she gave us practical tips for maintaining enery, good sound and presence, both in sound and visual. We engaged her for a briefing of our performance after the contest. This was a so beneficial to us, as we needed to breakdown what we had put on stage. Emily watched our performance back, looked through the score sheets and explained what the judges were getting at. She then gave us much needed confidence and a lesson on self talk after a difficult stage experience. We are now building new, practical habits after Emily's great advice. We highly recommend Emily. You will enjoy every minute. πΆ
Tempo Tantrums Quartet
quartet
What an INCREDIBLE Coach and human being!! Emily has been a guiding force for us starting as a new barbershop youth quartet. She helped us navigate our story archβs for our contestant songs, discover our most resonant and relaxed sound, and workshopped us through our trouble points in our songs. She constantly has provided us tips and tricks, as well as the confidence in our abilities as a quartet to move forward with our goals and continue to improve our craft. We have been so grateful to have Emily as a coach and canβt wait to continue working with her.
Vox Canvas
chorus
Emily is an enthusiastic and vibrant coach. She easily created a relaxed environment that helped us open up and give an authentic performance. We had a lot of fun being coached by her, and can't wait to work together again!
