Frequently Asked Questions & Fearless Singer Policy
Your Mentor
Hi! I’m Mel Lathouras. I’m a professional Jazz Singer and Vocal, Life and Business Coach for Singers.
I have a Bachelor of Music, a Masters' of Music in Jazz Performance, a Graduate Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy and a Graduate Diploma of Education.
I'm the Creator of Fearless Singer – a growing community of singers at all stages of their singing journeys - who are ditching fear-based beliefs to reach their musical and creative goals!
I regularly attend professional development workshops, courses and events related to music, vocal science, business and mindset to stay on top of the latest research.
Most importantly, I’m a mentor who loves being a part of somebody’s singing and creative journey and seeing these big-hearted souls create magic with their voices and in their lives.

Where do you Coach from?
Sessions can be in the Studio - West End, Brisbane - or online over Zoom.Â
Â
Do I need to be a Professional Singer to benefit from 1:1 Sessions?
I mentor absolute beginners to professionals. I specialise in helping people overcome their fear of singing, performing or “showing up” in front of other people (and themselves).Â
More info about how to work with me 1:1 in a Coaching Capacity is here.
Â
How much do you charge?
Fearless Singer Sessions are $247/ 50minÂ
Check out the Fearless Singer Membership for online group coaching, access to our community and more online resources.
Â
How often do I need to come?
Let’s have a chat about this face-to-face. Ideally, you would commit to fortnightly sessions; however it depends. We can figure out what mentoring package works best for you.
Â
Do you have a cancellation policy? What happens if I turn up late?
My time is valuable, and so is yours; if you are late for your appointment, you lose that time. If you don’t show up, you will forfeit your fee.
48 hours notice is required to cancel a lesson.
I advise clients to contact me the day before if they are feeling unwell to avoid forfeiting their fee.
If adequate notice is given, however, I allow one make-up lesson at another time.
Â
Can I purchase vouchers to give as gifts?
Yes – please contact me at [email protected] These are to be used within the term of purchase. Please note that the 48-hour cancellation policy applies.
Â
Can I reschedule?
Yes! No worries at all! If you are giving at least 48 hours' notice and have not exhausted your *rescheduling limit, go ahead and reschedule in your account. Please also email me to let me know: [email protected]
Â
Do you offer refunds?
No refunds will be issued.
Â
Do you teach young people and have a current blue card?
I mentor young people and IÂ have a blue card. There is a Junior Fearless Singers Membership program through audition.Â
Do you teach students on NDIS?
Yes I do and I have a disability clearance card.Â
*The rescheduling limit: If you purchase a one-off lesson, you have ONE opportunity to reschedule if needed. If you purchase one of the packs, you have TWO make-ups available to you within the two terms.
