CROWD CHOIR
You bring the crowd.
We'll create a choir (of sorts).
WHAT is Crowd Choir?
A memorable activity
Imagine bringing a group of people together (a 'crowd') - most of whom have probably never sung in public before, let alone at work with colleagues.
(Are you actually serious?)
It's a total recipe for peak scepticism and groans of 'bleugh, not more organised fun'.
Do it anyway and let Tabitha sprinkle her magic to transform a room full of sceptical strangers-in-song, to a group of people who actually choose to sing together, in 2-3 part harmony.
(We're using the term 'choir' loosely here, but still)
crowd. noun / [kraʊd] / a large group of people who have come together
choir. noun / [kwaɪə(r)] / a group of people who sing together
From disbelief to WOW!
Crowd Choir is a unique, immersive experience that takes people from zero to singing heroes in just 90 minutes.
And believe it or not, your trusty office companion, PowerPoint, plays a starring role. Yes, we said PowerPoint.
The same slides you might dread at meetings and conferences (hello, death by PowerPoint) are about to come alive in a way you've never imagined, teaching your team to sing in harmony!
If you're thinking, 'What about Fred from Accounts? I've heard him grab the mic at karaoke...' Don't worry!
It's all about the power of being in it together. In Crowd Choir, the 'skill' of individual singers really doesn't matter, in fact it's more fun to move from a state of disbelief at what's possible to 'WOW - we did THAT!'
Will you get a record deal? Probably not. Will it FEEL amazing? Absolutely.
And that's what Crowd Choir is about - having a blast, creating something together and walking away feeling connected, uplifted and maybe even a little surprised at what you've achieved.
WHY Crowd Choir?
It's well researched that singing, including singing 'together,' comes with a huge range of wellbeing benefits.
But it's bigger than that. Here's just some of the things that Crowd Choir can do for your 'crowd'.
⏩ Connect
Singing together is one of the fastest ways to break down barriers and build connection. It's the ultimate leveller where everyone from the caretaker to the CEO can take part. Watch your people laugh, smile and transform from individuals to a bonded group as they collaborate to create something new.
Most organisations exist to create 'something' - a product, a customer experience etc. With Crowd Choir we demonstrate how easy it is for a group to do just that. Everyone contributes to creating something new and fabulous that creates a bit of frission*.
Just think what else you could achieve, kicking off a conference with that kind of energy
(also known as a fancy word for goosebumps)
🎉 Celebrate
Music is at the heart of every great celebration. If you're bringing your people together, chances are there's something to celebrate. It's always better with music.
🎨 Create
If your organisation values creativity and innovation, it's important to make space for creative activities that stimulate the right brain and generate creative energy, encouraging people to think differently and apply a fresh perspective.
💪🏾 Confidence
What better way to demonstrate permission to speak-up and share ideas, than by encouraging everyone to use their voice. Crowd Choir would not not achieve its aims without creating a psychologically safe space where people can feel free open their mouths and let the sound out.

The HOW of Crowd Choir
Little by little, comfort zones expand as the tone is set for an inclusive, safe space for everyone to contribute, express and create something magical together.
Choose from a carefully curated list of songs that we know work (and have a helpful application to the world of business), or talk to Tabitha about selecting a bespoke song that speaks to the heart of your company's mission or vision.
Tabitha's facilitation is heart led and human. She really cares about the experience of every individual in the room, from the fears from singing scars to the passion of divas and divos who can't wait to share their notes!
Through gentle invitations, one step/note at a time, she takes the crowd on a journey to S.I.N.G.
S-tretch (safely)
I-nspire
N-ever forget moments
G-oooood vibes!!
S.I.N.G. - see what we did there?
S-tretch (safely)
We get it; singing with your colleagues may feel like a big leap for many! To grow - our skills, our confidence, our careers - it means we have to step into the unfamiliar and be comfortable with uncomfortable. Tabitha's warmth and guidance will set the right 'tone' (pardon the pun) for everyone to feel comfortable 'enough' to give it a go, and dicscover the reward of trying something new together.
I-nspire
It's amazing to watch a group go from, 'Can I really do this?' to 'WOW, listen to us! Crowd Choir doesn't just talk about values like innovation, inclusion, collaboration and growth - it gives the chance to experience them together. By creating a space where everyone can step in, connect and 'live' these values, Crowd Choir brings them to life in a way that feels authentic and inspiring.
N-ever Forget Moments
Not your typical team event. Crowd Choir is a full-body experience that leaves a lasting impression. As Maya Angelou famously said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." We aim to deliver an experience your crowd will talk about for years to come.
G-oood Vibes
"I'm picking up good vibrations..."
Once the crowd feel comfortable to ditch their 'I can't sing' stories and choose to make music* together, the feel-good energy is contagious. Singing together creates a rush of feel-good hormones which naturally bond people. These positive vibes don't just disappear, they stick with your team, linking that positivity to your company, helping your message resonate long after the final note fades!
(*music - at best, at worst, 'singing type noises' - both are great fun)
WHO is Crowd Choir for?
Errr... Crowds of People!
Crowd Choir is for any large group of people coming together to connect.
From experience, we know that 50+ is the sweet spot for a confidence-boosting experience, but it's possible with fewer, and unforgettable with more.
Maybe you're planning a big team session to kick off the next quarter, celebrate the year, or add a unique twist to a company away-day or conference. Crowd Choir can be the memorable anchor to land your key messages.
Or perhaps your 'crowd' is gathering for a special event, a charity ball, award ceremony, or a big bash that needs an extra spark!

Crowd Choir FAQ
What else should we consider before booking?
Choosing the right venue is key to a successful Crowd Choir event!
Since we'll be making a 'racket' it's worth checking whether nearby activities might be affected.
Other important considerations include the technical setup:
Visuals: The Crowd will need a clear view of a large screen (or multiple screens) to follow along with our magical PowerPoint slides.
Sound: A PA system or speakers for the backing track, and ideally a headset or lapel microphone (we can provide equipment, depending on your venue set up).
With the right space and setup, we'll be all set to bring your Crowd Choir experience to life!
What song will we sing?
For the standard Crowd Choir package, we offer a carefully selected range of songs that are memorable, fun to sing, and where relevant, resonate with the business world. Each arrangement is crafted specifically for Crowd Choir, ensuring an enjoyable and impactful experience.
However, if you have a specific song in mind, let us know! Tabitha can review it and advise whether it could be arranged to work within the Crowd Choir format.
Will we get a video recording?
While there's plenty we can capture with our trusty mobile devices, we also offer the option of a professionally recorded keepsake. If you'd like to document the experience, we can arrange for a videographer and discuss options - whether you prefer a highlight reel of the full experience or a short video of the final performance. Just let us know, and we'll make it happen!
Can we have live musicians?
Anything is possible! The standard Crowd Choir package includes singing along to a backing track, there's nothing quite like the thrill of becoming true rock stars with a live musician, or even a full band if desired! Let us know your vision and we'll work to make it a reality.
What's the maximum size Crowd?
For most teams, singing isn't exactly the norm - unless you happen to be a theatre group, or a crew of karaoke kings and queens! With the natural mix of abilities in any crowd, we embrace the 'bell curve' of singing, where most people will hit close to the right note, most of the time.
To create a sound we can be collectively proud of, Crowd Choir works best with groups of 50 or more with an upper limit, of whatever your venue can comfortably hold!
Is Crowd Choir right for your team?
Do you want to have fun, make memories and challenge your team to create something together? Then YES.
