ANATS NSW & ACT Present:
The Indestructible Singer: Building Resilience Through Mindset Coaching
🗓 Sunday 14 September 2025 | ⏰ 3:00–4:15 PM AEST (Online Webinar)

ANATS NSW is thrilled to be joining forces with ANATS ACT to bring this transformative online session to singers, teachers, and performers across the country.

Led by international opera singer and certified mindset coach Sharon Kempton, this event will explore the inner world of performance where mental resilience, emotional regulation, and confident communication become just as essential as vocal technique.

Whether you're based in NSW, ACT, or anywhere else in Australia, you'll gain science-informed tools to help yourself and your students thrive under pressure.

💡 What you’ll learn:
💬 Managing performance anxiety with practical tools

Mindset coaching can help performers handle stage fright and performance anxiety through techniques like visualisation, focused breathing, and cognitive restructuring. This enables them to perform at their best even under high pressure.

🧠 Using mindset techniques to reframe self-talk and build confidence

How we can help empower our students by getting them to recognise what happens with their own self-talk and scientifically address how important their thinking is.

🎭 Navigating emotional intensity in high-pressure settings

The ability to manage emotions is crucial in singing, where emotional expression is a key part of performance. Mindset coaching teaches emotional control techniques that help performers manage their feelings on and off the stage.

🗣 Supporting clear, empowered communication in teaching and performance

Strategies and concepts that teachers can incorporate into their own lives and the lives of their students.

“I help people find their voice—literally and figuratively—and use it with confidence, clarity, and courage.”
— Sharon Kempton
