Our Story

HC Vocal and Performance Academy has been helping children and young adults shine on stage since 2019. Established by Holly Clifford, a professional vocal coach and drama teacher, the academy prides itself on delivering the highest quality classes, lessons and workshops in Acting, Singing and Dnacing. Based in the heart of Darlington students aged 2+ are given the opportunity to have fun, to train, to get creative and to perform!

We believe that the performing arts are a fantastic way for people of all ages to develop confidence, skills and uncover opportunities for a lifetime!  

Whether our students aspire to a career in Musical Theatre, to speak more effectively in public or to just enjoy the challenge of rehearsals, our academy and our experienced and professional staff can offer a pathway to greater skills and greater confidence, all through the medium of live theatre.
