Hi! I’m Becki (they/them)
I’m a queer creative and alternative educator with a passion for helping others grow – both as performers and as human beings.
If you require this information in a different format, please contact me on becki@beckishort.co.uk.
What I Do
My main services are:
- Private voice lessons
- Business mentoring for self-employed people
- Peer chats
I also do the following:
- Own and run OmniArts GB
- Run workshops on a range of subjects – some are organised by me, and I can be hired for events and groups as well
- Create art – primarily songs and poems
Here’s a little insight into my experience as a teacher and mentor:
I’ve been teaching one-to-one singing lessons for over 11 years, running a performing arts company (OmniArts GB) which I built from the ground up for over 7 years, and performing in many different forms since I was 5 years old.
Over the last 11 years, I have developed a unique and personal style in the way I teach, which allows me to give so much more than just knowledge of the voice to my students.
I provide a safe space in my lessons for my students to open up, and discover more about themselves, as well as their voices. Through this, I have found myself mentoring a number of my young adult students, helping them with not only their vocal development, but also with career pathway ideas and guidance, life skills and personal growth too.
I am also a singer, dancer, actor, songwriter, and poet.
My Ethos
I’m a huge believer in making your own future, however I also know how many privileges I have had in my life which have allowed me to get to where I am now. I want to give back to those who were given a different start in life, and help put more people on the path to living their dream.
I offer opportunities to anyone who wants them, in whatever way I can, which is why I have such a wide range of options for working with me.
I’m also hugely passionate about intersectionality, being a member of a number of marginalised groups myself, and am constantly working to be a better version of myself.
I try to lift up the voices of those who speak on things I do not, and cannot, fully understand whilst also sharing my own experiences as a queer, disabled, self employed person to help myself and others make sense of ourselves and the world we live in.
I’m a totally outside of the box, fun, energetic, encouraging individual who aims to empower others through the work I do, and live a completely authentic life, being true to myself.
If I had to sum up my ethos in one sentence, it would be: How can I help you?
So, how can I help you?
And if you just fancy a chat, pop me a message! I can’t wait to hear from you.
