“If you’re not touched by tenor, Cameron Richardson-Eames, you have a Grinch in your soul.”
– Los Angeles Times
Teacher
A leading industry vocal coach, Cameron Richardson-Eames trained at The Juilliard School, Cambridge University, and the Royal Academy of Music. He has served on the staff of: The Juilliard School (and pre-college), Cambridge University, and New York University. Cameron was also the recipient of the 2017 US-UK Fulbright Scholarship and has since served on their application panels for the UK and Poland.

In the mainstream field, Cameron has coached high-profile pop artists signed to major labels including Atlantic Records and Universal Music Group, collectively representing over a billion streams and an array of major industry awards.
He is renowned for his scientific and diagnostic approach to vocal teaching, firmly believing in setting students up with a strong and healthy technical foundation from the first lesson. Cameron is often referred clients by top ENT practitioners in the US for singers needing vocal rehabilitation. Many of Cameron's clients come to him having developed unhealthy singing habits or vocal issues from poor previous teaching, and he is an expert in providing effective solutions to these issues.
Cameron's extremely thorough preparation of his students means that they regularly win first place or reach the finals in major competitions (The Voice, Voice Kids, America’s Got Talent, American Protégé) and gain scholarships to the top performing arts programs in the US and Europe.
Due to extreme demand for lessons, Cameron co-directs a team of hand-picked voice teachers based in the UK, Europe and the US. Each of these teachers was personally sought out by Cameron in recognition of their outstanding contribution to vocal pedagogy. With students from over 40 countries, the school was awarded the International Trade Award at the Northern Business Awards in 2022 (UK), and as Artistic Director, Cameron was named on Lincolnshire’s “30 under 30” list in 2021 (UK).
