Testimonials
A selection of testimonials from producers, conductors and students that Kelly has worked with in recent years.
Kelly MacKenzie-Thurley was an outstanding feature artist of Scotland The Brave and was a valuable member of the cast of the Hungarian production of The Merry Widow, which I toured within Australia. The audiences loved her, and so did the rest of the cast.
Sean O'Boyle - Conductor & Composer
New York, USA
Working with Kelly is sheer joy. She has enormous talent, boundless energy, pure professionalism, impeccable timing and incredible versatility. Kelly owns the stage and delights any audience. I look forward to each and every time we get a chance to work together.
Emily Berrington - Actress
London, England
As an actor it was important to me to find a singing coach who cared as much about words and meaning as hitting the right notes. Whatever language we were working in Kelly always focussed foremost on telling the story of the piece, without compromising the quality of the singing. Through our lessons I built up a repertoire covering classical, jazz and musical theatre, improved my audition technique and vastly increased my range and breath capacity. The vocal technique I developed with Kelly has completely changed what I am able to do with my voice.
Jesse Hancock - Psychologist
Sydney, Australia
I was a shy nerdy kid with a little bit of ability and alot of self doubt. Yet somehow Kelly transformed me into someone who could confidently sing. Kelly has a special kind of magic where you have so much fun along the way, that you don't even realise how much better your becoming!
