The Mac Project

We had the Mac Project perform at our wedding and all everyone can talk about is that they are “the best band ever” and “I’ve never seen a better dance floor like it”, and we couldn’t agree more! Sensational song choices, amazing musical ability and an energy and vibe that brought the party and kept it going til the wee hours of the morning. We couldn’t recommend the Mac Project more highly- whatever your occasion!

MaryAnne's coaching sessions helped me to build confidence and find my authentic voice. Her sessions provided information and inspiration, which have been invaluable to both my personal and professional development. I can't speak more highly of MaryAnne and my experience with the Mac Project.

MaryAnne is an absolute treasure! She made me feel right at home and in good hands from day one. I feel so blessed to have found The Mac Project - I am finally discovering my true voice, starting to shed my lifelong fears, connecting more to my higher self and feeling more joyful. MaryAnne has helped to transform me and I cannot begin to say how grateful I am. She is truly gifted, speaks from the heart, makes you feel safe, knows how to push you in a positive way, and treats you with utmost care. I feel like you get so much more than just vocal/acting coaching and this is something everyone needs to experience for themselves! Thank you SO much MaryAnne xx

Since I began voice coaching with MaryAnne, I have noticed more depth and resonance to my voice. My voice now comes from the inner core of me, and thus sounds more authentically “Jenny”. I've learned that what we say is only part of how we communicate – how we say it conveys so much more, and I appreciate all the skills I have learned from MaryAnne. Thank you, Mac. - Jenny Keddell Celebrant

About to embark on a teaching career, I was not confident in speaking effectively. Enter MaryAnne. From the moment we met I felt at ease and understood.
As we progressed through our sessions, MaryAnne was able to help me access not just the volume of my voice - but why I had suppressed it in the first place. It was a surprisingly transformative experience - and has impacted positively not just on my teaching career, but on many aspects of my life, both professionally and personally.
It has been a joy to work with her delightful disposition and pure professionalism. If you’re considering having someone to walk beside you to help you empower your voice, I can highly recommend this gorgeous soul.

My sessions with MaryAnne were transformative. She is warm, funny, intuitive and inspiring. She helped developed my presentation skills and general presence when speaking and facilitating meetings. She is especially helpful for women working in male dominant industries, building confidence and energy in her clients. Our sessions were always invigorating and full of laughter, with practical tips and tricks to take away. The sessions not only empowered me in my professional life, but had a profound positive impact on my personal life too.

I couldn't recommend MaryAnne more highly. I came to her looking to find how to become a more compelling public speaker, but she also helped my recover my confidence in singing. She understands the physical, psychological and spiritual in finding your voice and using it to get your message across, and will help you tap into new confidence and skill.

The Mac Project band were phenomenal! They were just so fantastic. They came highly recommended from a friend and the moment I first exchanged emails with MaryAnne, I knew they would be perfect. MaryAnne was super lovely to deal with, nothing was a problem. I was arranging my Melbourne wedding from the USA where I live, so it was all via email and it was easy. MaryAnne and the guys showed up on time, got setup quickly and were playing. Everyone loved them. Their style, their sound, the songs were all perfect for our small, intimate backyard wedding. We had them for 3 hours, but I wish I had them longer. They played before our ceremony as guests were mingling, then again after the ceremony and throughout dinner. Everyone clapped and cheered them after each song, we all sang and danced. If you are looking for a cool vibe, with mellow tunes, and with style - you will love them!

MaryAnne has been the voice coach I didn't think I would find. Her coaching sessions are always fun, open, and hugely instructive, and she immediately helped me to get past my reservations about exploring sound to recover my speaking voice. Professional and knowledgeable teacher all round, everyone should experience her life changing teaching!

I feel like I’ve tapped into my inner Aretha Franklin! I can’t recommend her unique approach to voice training enough, it is revolutionary. I came to MaryAnne with one aim in mind: To boost my interview technique. After a couple of years voluntarily out of the workforce to raise a child, my confidence at interviews was low, and my voice was showing it. I’ve always had a childlike voice and usually felt easily intimidated. I had reached a point in my career where I was going for jobs that weren't grad level. MaryAnne’s techniques helped my find my mojo and project confidence. I call it my adult voice. After a few classes I got a job offer and now I feel optimistic about my career. I put into practice the exercises I’ve learnt from MaryAnne daily, and it shows when I haven’t. I’d recommend the Mac Project to any woman who wants a life long confidence boost.

In my short musical journey with The Mac Project coach MaryAnne, I have been able to tap into the heart of my voice. Before, I sang to sound 'good' without feeling truly connected with my voice and emotions. Although I have a long way to go technically, I believe my voice has 'awakened' and I now sing with the sensation of soaring through a picturesque sky with the city lights below me, greeted by a pink and purple infused horizon. I am more confident with each song tackled and couldn't have gotten to this point without Maryanne's concise and empathetic tutelage. She will change your life as she has changed mine. A highly recommended vocal coach for any singing enthusiast.

MaryAnne at The Mac Project has not only helped me immensely with my vocal technique in her vocal workshop but in a short time, has also helped me gain the confidence to perform in singing competitions and play in gigs. Her vast knowledge and experience in the music industry cannot go unnoticed and her encouragement and guidance has made my music journey all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend The Mac Project for anyone wanting to take their talent to the next level.

I came to see MaryAnne at The Mac Project Studio for professional development to improve my voice, presence and impact in the boardroom and on camera. Without a doubt I received the best results in the shortest time during my lessons with MaryAnne. Her knowledge of voice/vocal technique, performance and vast experience in the performing arts are unparalleled. I would and do recommend her to any business professional looking to step things up professionally and bring all of them to the table. Thank you MaryAnne
