I think it is important to state upfront that payments are non-refundable, otherwise people seem to just assume they can get their money back. The ball is in your court though, so it depends whether or not you want to upset her…

Interesting one to discuss! I really like to focus on stretching muscles across the whole body in order to ease any lingering muscle tension. I find that this also gets you feeling engaged and ready. After that it’s the usual run of lip trills, tongue trills, sirens, scales and arpeggios to get your vocal cords nice and ready; and finally a song to bring it all together and get you in the zone! I adapted this routine from a reputable source…

Shure SM58 is the universal golden standard for live vocal mics, why would you want anything else? Shouldn’t make a difference re. male/female as far as I am aware.

I actually tried it right at the start, and although it does have a ton of options I didn’t feel like I was using enough of the features to justify the expense. If you want to automate bookings then great, and the automatic reminder emails are really useful. There’s another one called 10to8 which is cheaper, but I’ve just been using iCloud for now:)
