Company Profile of Tashia Vermeulen Olivier :
Vocal Coach and CEO of
Tashia’s Vocal Academy SA
My name is Tashia Vermeulen Olivier (Natashia) and I have been a vocal coach and performing artist for the past 25 years. My base is in George, Western Cape, South Africa, but I have trained students and performed all over the country.
I was trained in 1997 by an amazing teacher named Tiny Oswald. He was a vocal coach and a South African promoter living in Mossel Bay, Western Cape South Africa . After I finished my training, completing the full training course (grade 5 professional singing), he passed away and then I started my own school and have been going strong since then. Over the years, I gained a great deal of experience as an artist which I could teach to my students.
I enhanced my training by doing a few online Australian vocal and piano courses.
I have trained many students over the past 23 years of which performed all over the country and released their own CD’s. I am in the process of setting up vocal academies around the country and training teachers to run my schools in different areas around the Cape Province.
Johnny Apple, who won SA’s Got Talent 2013, was a student of mine for about 3 years
. Johnny, and one of my other students, went abroad and sang at the AMTC in Orlando Florida where they were competing against the best in the world.
This is a convention where you perform and do auditions in front of talent scouts from around the world, trying to obtain a contract in order to further your career. Both my students won gold in the singing category and returned with contracts of companies such as The New York Film Academy. After Johnny Apple won SA’s Got Talent, he received a full record deal with Sony. His first album was released on the
1st of November 2014 in the shops and is also available in I-tunes.
His album is called “Johnny Apple”.
My vocal training is mainly for singers in genres like pop, R&B,
Jazz/Blues, Rock & Roll and ballads, but I can also provide light
classical vocal training. Here is in short what my training consists of:
* Correct Breathing techniques
* correct voice placement
* Correct vocal projection
*Intonation
*Perfect pitch
*Microphone technique
*Studio work
*“Blocking”
* training of praise % worship groups
*How to work with your audience, etc.
I do one-on-one vocal classes, online classes as well as crash-course workshops. I teach musical groups and help put together shows with a variety of talent like singers, dancers and actors. I hosted many talent competitions in and around the Cape Region where I try to discover new talent and help them as far as I can by providing training, recording of demo CD’s and full production CD’s, artist management and giving advice.
My passion is to help others by training them and helping them to live their dream.
