About Sjanel
I’m a professional performer who has spent my entire adult life on stage, in rehearsals, and in creative spaces where confidence, presence, and self-expression matter. From an early age, I was drawn to performance and went on to study performing arts, gaining real-world experience in what it takes to show up, be seen, and use your voice with intention.
My teaching is informed by years of professional training and lived experience. I focus on helping teens and adults build confidence, presence, and authenticity through performance-based techniques. Whether the goal is creative expression, personal growth, or preparing something to share with an audience, I guide students in a way that allows them to feel the progress as their confidence strengthens.
As a coach, I’m grounded, approachable, and easy to work with. I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring, taking risks, and being themselves. I believe confidence grows best when you feel safe, understood, and encouraged, and that’s the space I aim to offer in every session.

I’m a born performer with a deep-rooted background in drama and performance. I began drama classes at the age of ten and went on to study performing arts until the age of twenty-two. This journey gave me a strong foundation in how performance works and how it can be used as a powerful tool for expression, confidence, and storytelling.
My experience spans across multiple creative disciplines. I incorporate music, parody, writing, and movement into my teaching, allowing performance to feel playful, personal, and authentic. I’ve also co-written my own play and was honoured with the Best Newcomer Award at the Stellenbosch Woordfees, which shaped my understanding of creating original, meaningful work.
Lessons are one hour long and are suitable for teens and adults. Each session is entirely focused on what you want to create. This could be something purely for fun, material for an audition, or a performance you want to share with family, friends, open mic nights, or the stage.
These sessions are workshop-based, meaning you stay in the driver’s seat of the creative process. I guide, support, and challenge you while you build something that feels true to you. The goal is not perfection, but confidence, expression, and ownership of your performance.

Besides Sjanél being an amazing talented performing artist, she is also an excellent coach and teacher. As an Accountant, I need a creative outlet and really enjoy the drama classes where I have the freedom to express myself in a safe environment. Whether you want to improve your skills or are looking for a creative outlet, Sjanél is your person!
I've known Sjanél a long time. When we first met she was a few years my senior at performing arts college and just between us gals, she did a better job at honing and helping me cultivate my craft than her older colleagues. She was such a gifted student that she was asked to take up some classes. And she did a brilliant job of that.
Today, 13yrs later, she still helps and inspires me to be the best performing artist and human that I can be. I'm better for knowing her.Sjanel and I have worked together on and off for over 10 years. She is an incredibly talented vocalist, with the equally impressive skill of being able to teach vocals to others. She is always professional, always fun, dedicated to her students and her colleagues and shines on stage. I would highly recommend trying some lessons with her as she knows the business and has the charisma and talent to help other performers thrive in the industry.
Sjanel gave me singing lessons for a few months and it made such a difference, not only in my technique but also in my confidence. She works with YOUR voice instead of trying to get you to sound like someone else and makes the process so fun. She has such a calming presence and she is so patient and uplifting. She is a born teacher and she doesn't just teach, she SINGS like you've never heard anyone sing. It is a lucky day for you when you get into her classes.
