Time Out (London)

"There are many reasons to remember the name 'Nikki Slade', [she is an] inspirational woman...

"I went complaining of not having enough fun and, after an hour of intelligent and sympathetic guidance (which in itself was enormous fun), I emerged feeling genuinely papmered and strong enough to begin the process of ousting my resident kill-joy. I'm definitely going back for more, to make sure that my gremlin doesn't take up residence again. Group sessions (in Teddington or Tuffnell Park) last two hours and are likely to leave you feeling great, but also wanting more - knowing that you are giving space to emotional baggage that you'd be glad to get rid of...

"This is better that a course of massages, a weekly facial or a subscription to the gym."

Daily Telegraph

"Not only did she help my voice as an actor, but she gave me confidence on a personal level. Nikki taught me to move away from the forced voice I used because I was desperately anxious to please, and to express myself without embarrassment. Gradually my confidence in my own voice grew."

Time Out (London)

"Apart from her wonderful voice, the best thing about Nikki Slade is her non-judgemental approach. How well you can sing is not an issue. This is teaching at its very best."
