​I have worked with Ian with regards to song selection
and interpretation for audition.
The points Ian addressed and took me through in the studio were the exact points of reference the panel brought up in the auditions, and helped me to stand out and be successful in auditioning for the role.
​Ian's vast knowledge and very approachable manner make him a standout vocal and audition coach in Melbourne. I could not rate him more highly.

You created such an inviting, enthusiastic environment that was refreshingly calming at the same time. I felt like all my anxieties weren't even in the room and I could really enjoy myself learning new skills.

Please say a big thank you to Omar for preparing Tiahna with her audition for Madagascar Jr. She got one of the lead roles as Gloria. She is super excited. We couldn't have done it without Omar's help and support. Thank you once again.

We have a number of our [Theatre Blacks] Diploma of Musical Theatre students attending Ian Nisbet's studio and they always come to our classes beautifully prepared and confident in what they are doing. The progress in his students even after only one or two lessons is just incredible to witness. As well as having a really thorough technical knowledge he really understands Musical Theatre and how to help students find their personal niche as an artist which just revolutionises their self-confidence!  You are in very good hands with Ian!

Ian’s knowledge of the music theatre canon is second to none. His extensive academic background and passion for the art form is present in everything he does. His work ethic, high standards and relentless positivity have contributed to his position as a role model and pillar of the arts community. It is my constant and enduring privilege to continue to collaborate with Ian on my creative projects.

Tahra is open and welcoming during our lessons, allowing me to fully extend myself. Feeling comfortable with her gave me the encouragement I needed to venture outside of my comfort zone and try new genres. Through her targeted and practical advice and instructions in performance and technique, Tahra was able to get the best out of me, improving my singing ability immensely. I always look forward to my classes with her and enjoy learning to sing with her guidance!
