“She’s what would happen if the Mad Hatter and Alice had a baby” (Meena)

Vocal artist, composer & originator/facilitator of The Musical Body

Charlotte Roberts is like no other! Somewhere between the styles of Yoko Ono, Enya, Bjork and the Mad Hatter, she evokes human story in a curious and adventurous way. Calling on her skills of sensitive self-listening, vocal intelligence and a diverse range of played instruments, Charlotte crafts evocative soundscapes full of joie de vivre. Don't miss an opportunity to hear her play!

I have had the privilege of experiencing Charlotte Roberts work as an audience member and as a performing artist working beside her. Her voice is truly medicinal. It opens, heals, provokes, loves and allows us to travel through it. Her voice experiments, questions, plays, marries, separates, multiplies, equalises & intoxicates. Her voices sings us, says the things we may have never spoken or more simply, have not yet given sound to. Her voice is her power which awakens our own through its echo. To see, hear, experience her performance is to envelop yourself in the truest essence of you.

Went to Charlotte Roberts Vocal Digs last night at La Mama and am still relishing the experience. An hour of raw, explosive presence. Charlotte's vocal palette went from shocking to delightful, pitch perfect to edgy atonal. Shadows of Tim Minchin on piano and Laurie Anderson's spilling quirks of language. I loved the opening blackness (La Mama does black so well), with disembodied aural treats from above, and the time allowed the audience to sit into a receptive space. The scattered instruments including harp, guitar, ukulele and crystal singing bowl became objects that at once animated and met Charlotte's inquisitive resolve to become one with them and sink onto their dialogue. A superb show my friends. I am both proud of and excited by Charlotte's improvised artistry and urge you to get down to her last show tonight at 6.30pm. $15 and still tix at the door or online. You can even call Mama ;D

Everybody has a voice. Unlike instruments, where style and timbre can be combined to become almost synonymous with certain performers, voices naturally are. People have built entire careers trying to sound like someone else, whether it be Josh Kiszka or Adam Lambert, but unlike through instrumental work, which can be uncannily replicated, vocals are always distinct. Australian Charlotte Roberts has found a lot of inspiration in her voice, and knowingly guides others to do the same. Outside of her studio work Roberts is the founder of The Musical Body, a new agey vocal therapy program that helps to provide assistance through meditation, improvisation and songwriting to vocalists and non-vocalists alike. She understands that everyone has a voice, and the vast majority are underutilised. It doesn’t hurt that she has a pretty great voice herself.

Staunch experimentalist, Charlotte Roberts creates expressive art-pop for healing, celebrating, processing and imagining. Her impressive vocal range is artfully deployed as an extension of her own body and mind, channeling her inner child through improvisational and reactive sound-body-movement sessions which form the basis for her work.
