The Presence Effect

Swap the mental noise for that quiet inner voice — and let it sing.
The Presence Effect Choir is a creative sanctuary to sing freely, express your voice in beautiful harmony, and shake off everyday stress.
Far more than a traditional choir, it’s a warm, welcoming space to unwind and reconnect—blending gentle breath work and presence voice coaching with mindful inspiration and uplifting music from around the world.
Whether you're here to build vocal confidence or simply share in the joy of singing, you’ll leave feeling calmer, brighter, deeply supported, and ready to take up space with your voice.

It’s such a lovely, no pressure space. I really recommend it to anyone feeling like they need an injection of joy in their week
Alex
36, Events and Yoga Host
The Presence Effect feels like a fluid and expressive 90 minute journey which is held by the reassuring and encouraging arms of Fran. All aspects feels incredibly immersive and freeing, from the guided meditation, humming to arrive and centre, and being given full permission to let your voice take you to a place of calm. The music is thoughtfully chosen, the people are welcoming and authentic, and I leave feeling happy in my own skin.
Jules
It is not like any other choir. There is no judgement and no pressure to perform. It is a lot of fun with lovely people.
