About Your Tutors

Part of our commitment at AMTA, is that we only work with the best instructors in Australia.

How to Belt Like a Pro will be led by AMTA’s Founder & Artistic Director, distinguished musical theatre and cabaret star, Queenie van de Zandt. Queenie is widely regarded in the press as having ‘one of the best voices in Australia’. She is also a leading arts educator, a master storyteller and a comedian, so this workshop is guaranteed to be not just educational but also a lot of fun!

On Day 2 of the workshop, Queenie will be joined by three of Australia’s leading musical directors – Lucy Bermingham (Sydney), James Simpson (Melbourne) and Luke Volker (Brisbane). Lucy, James and Luke all have years of experience working with singers across many genres including musical theatre, cabaret, rock, pop and jazz.

We are still confirming our Brisbane musical director and will update this page once they are announced.

“Thank you for your wonderful workshop - How To Belt Like A Pro. I loved it. You held such a lovely space - welcoming, playful, and full of great wisdom. I really appreciated how you took us through the specifics and helped allay any concerns and then built the exercises step by step. It worked really well and so great to get to watch the class for a week following the session. It was lovely to get a chance to learn from your talent and wealth of experience.”
