ABOUT MARIA RIVINGTON - MMus, BA (Hons)
-Soprano Soloist, Vocal & Communication Skills Coach

MARIA's passion and interest in the Human Voice and its potential started early. Cathedral Choir & school, local classical soloist, rock- and pop bands session singer and three years in a rep theatre ensemble followed, before her interest in both singing and languages, lead her to graduate from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden with a BA (Hons) in English Linguistics and an MMus (performance) from the Academy of Music and Drama in 1990.


She then joined Sony Music in Sweden and an extensive career in UK’s music industry and HR followed, working for HMV, Kingfisher and Virgin, mixing in classical solo work, session singing, and teaching whenever possible.

  •  Maria has been working with many of our executive clients, both in the UK and around the world, since 2007. She is one of our most valued and highly skilled interview coaches, consistently achieving excellent results and positive client feedback. I am delighted to recommend her work to anyone interested in high quality coaching in this field...
    - James Innes, Chief Executive - The CV Centre (UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zeeland, South Africa) www.jamesinnes.com
  •  Maria is magic. Through her guidance, teaching and unique intuition, the quality and stamina of my voice have improved enormously. I have had singing teachers before, but Maria is not just a teacher. What she offers is so much more and the freedom that I have now achieved within my vocal range is something that I will always be truly grateful to her for.

  •  It is always a joy to hear Maria sing beautiful solos. Preforming not just on Sundays but at weddings and funerals, people often comment on the quality of her vocal range and singing. Maria always gives 150% and we are profoundly grateful for her gifts and the grace with which she uses them for the enjoyment of many.
    - Rev. Mark O'Donoghue, Christ Church, Kensington - www.christchurchkensington.com
  •  Maria has had a tremendous effect on me personally and professionaly; enabling a sense of strength clarity & freedom in my voice I've never achieved before.
    - Holliday Sidewinder, Singer & Songwriter - www.holidaysidewinder.com
  •  Maria has worked with numerous clients of mine and has provided incredible insight and value to them. She is a true expert in what she does, there is no one I have met or heard of that has the knowledge or skils in vocal matters like Maria. Her integrity, attention to details and her passion is what makes her work so powerful. She is brilliant and I simply can not recommend her services enough.
    - Michael Valmont, CEO & Founder, CoreEvolve - www.michaelvalmont.com
  •  I went to Maria terrified about having to go on TV and radio after a bad public speaking experience years ago. Maria is a genius – addressed physical symptoms and the psychological reasons that were making me panic, and turned it all around. She's phenomenally intelligent, helping me get to what I wanted to say in a single sentence. Everything changed for me - genuinely. I'm completely comfortable now; evets, live national TV and radio. I've recommended her to everyone I know. I will forever be grateful.

    “I am 100% passionate about The Human Voice in all its forms:
    singing, speaking, and the verbal interaction between individuals and groups. My life has been about performing, learning about, listening to, working with & enjoying the amazing things the voice can do.

    I have the pleasure of throughout my career learning from great musicians, singers and business leaders teaching me to understand how we as individuals progress and express ourselves optimally as well as how large organisations operate, manage and develop people.

    My aim for Rivington Voice is to offer the best training, performance and coaching services possible to anyone interested in improving their communication- & performance skills or voice - all skills that can transform lives!”
