Voice Mastery: Advanced Techniques for Opera and Contemporary Singers

I am an experienced opera singer and vocal teacher with a profound academic background and a rich history of working with some of the most renowned figures in the world of music. I earned my Master’s Degree with honours from the National Music Academy of Ukraine. I also had the privilege of taking lessons with Seth Riggs, one of the world’s leading vocal coaches, who has worked with famous artists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Barbra Streisand.

I have further refined my skills at prestigious institutions, including the Vienna Opera Academy in Austria, the Georg Solti Accademia in Castiglione Della Pescaia, Italy, where I was mentored by legendary mezzo-soprano Grace Bumbry and celebrated soprano Barbara Frittoli. Additionally, I finished my training at the Lotte Lehmann Akademie in Perleberg, Germany, working with world-class voice teachers and conductors from some of the leading opera houses around the world.

I have performed for Hollywood celebrities in Italy and for Ukrainian presidents and foreign diplomats at political events in Kyiv, Ukraine. I have taken part in prestigious music festivals, including the Morellino Classical Festival in Tuscany, Italy, and the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music in Austria. I also participated in the first-year GSA program for alumni in Castiglione Della Pescaia, Italy, and the Solti-Peretti program in Venice, Italy.

I have thoroughly studied all the esteemed vocal literature in five languages, which, along with my studies in vocal technique, allows me to provide a deeply informed and effective approach to singing.

As a teacher, I believe in accelerating the development of my students. While it typically takes 10 years to become a professional singer, I achieve the same results in just 2 years, helping my students develop their skills much faster than the usual approach.

I work with a wide range of vocal issues, including:
• Trouble with range, breath control, tone production
• Vocal strain, voice fatigue, and issues with high notes
• Psychological difficulties related to performing and using the voice
• Difficulty with transitions, voice cracks, and loss of voice during speech or singing
• Problems with pitch accuracy, foreign accents in foreign languages, and resonance
• And many other challenges of any level of severity.

I currently teach students who are well-known jazz performers in New York and along the entire eastern American coast. Additionally, I provide voice training to Protestant pastors and kirtanists who have become well-known singers in their communities in the USA, Canada, and India.

If you feel you’re struggling with your voice or technique, I can help you. Together, we will address your challenges and make your vocal dreams a reality.

Let’s make your voice extraordinary!

Extra information

Here’s how I recommend you set up Zoom for our vocal lessons to ensure the best sound quality and experience:

1. Use the Best Audio Settings
• First, go to “Settings” in Zoom (click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the Zoom desktop app, then select “Settings”).
• Under Audio Settings:
• Make sure to enable “Show in-meeting option to ‘Enable Original Sound’ from microphone”. This will let you turn off noise cancellation and automatic gain control during our lessons.
• Turn off “Automatically adjust microphone volume”, as this can interfere with the clarity of your voice.
• Enable “Original Sound”: This will allow for uncompressed audio, so your voice sounds natural and clear.

2. Activate “Original Sound” During the Meeting
• Once we are in the meeting, click on the “Turn on Original Sound” button in the upper-left corner of the Zoom window. This ensures that Zoom doesn’t apply any audio filters that could distort your voice.

3. Select the Best Microphone
• In your Zoom settings, make sure you’ve selected the best microphone available. Using a good USB microphone or condenser microphone will give you much clearer sound compared to the built-in microphone on your laptop.

4. Use Headphones
• Please use headphones during our lessons. This helps prevent feedback from the speakers and ensures I can hear you more clearly.

5. Adjust Your Speaker Volume
• Make sure your speaker volume is adjusted properly to avoid distortion. It should be loud enough for you to hear me clearly, but not so loud that it interferes with the microphone.

6. Optimize Your Video Settings
• For better clarity, go to Video settings (Settings → Video) and select HD video. This helps if I need to demonstrate techniques or body posture.

7. Test Before Our Lesson
• It’s a good idea to test all the settings by doing a vocalization with someone in a Zoom meeting beforehand. If you can sing for a couple of seconds straight and the sound is not suppressed, everything should be working properly. This way, you’ll be sure that all settings are correct and we won’t waste time on technical difficulties during the lesson.

Following these steps will help us get the best sound quality for our lessons and make the experience much smoother!

Experience / Qualifications

I can answer any (!!!) questions directly or indirectly related to singing. I will create a perfect system for understanding your voice, human physiology, and the physics of sound.

The deep theory is supported by demonstrations of the human voice’s capabilities, such as connecting registers from contralto to tenor notes in the second octave, perfect messa di voce (crescendo-diminuendo), and experimenting with different timbres across the entire range. This enables singing with various vocal types, vocal agility when singing 16th notes in presto tempo, and much more.

Georgia
Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

PLACES, FEES - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Professional solo singer, Bass, trained in Switzerland and abroad (HEM, soloist master, concert master and teaching diploma), having sung on the stages of the operas of Geneva, Paris, Toulouse and Amsterdam.

Ziad
Oriental Arabic Oud and Singing Teacher in Germany
In our Oud class, I will guide you through everything from basic to advanced techniques. We will cover playing for all levels, correct left-hand use, synchronizing with the right hand, handling the pick, tuning the Oud, and effectively using a tuner and metronome. In the remaining time, we will dive into reading musical notes, starting with basic Solfege and progressing to advanced and oriental Solfege, including dictation exercises. This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded musical journey My recommendation for learning the Oud is to begin by studying musical notes and notation before delving into songs. While some students prefer to jump straight into playing songs, understanding the fundamentals of music notation accelerates progress in the long run. Dedication and hard work can yield significant progress within a year, enabling you to play simple tunes. Feel free to leave me a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Riccardo
Singing Lessons for Beginner and Advanced Students
Deepening my knowledge of singing and passing on my skills to students are the things I love to do most and I have been teaching singing to beginners and professionals for many years now. I start from the basics of breathing, vocal warmup, and anatomy of the phonatory organ, to reach a confident use of the vocal instrument, and mastery of the technique, alongside body awareness. For set-out-artists, for those who want to go further into the technique and receive a guide in the artistic sector, I offer my professionalism in the study of the repertoire and performing techniques, introducing and deepening notions of pronunciation and diction for singers, understanding of the text, acting and executive techniques (applied to singing). Furthermore, my students have the opportunity to make professional recordings, to follow and document their artistic evolution (Self-recording technique lessons can be added). I have a bachelor's degree in classical singing from Conservatorio di Musica “F. Morlacchi” (Perugia, Italy) and I can speak English and Italian in the lessons. I am available both online and in person, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Matteo
Vocal technique for all types of modern singing, pop, jazz, swing, hip pop singing lessons, vocal coach, voice work.
Do you want to know the register of your voice? Be able to sing the highest notes without hurting your voice? Learn how to do the passing notes? Be able to have a powerful but also agile voice? I am a songwriter, pop and jazz singer and singing teacher with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons at all levels. My lessons are aimed at developing body, muscular and vocal awareness that helps to perceive and consider our body as a musical instrument. My teaching method is the result of the synthesis of my experience as a singer and the many and diverse study paths followed. The lesson is structured in two parts: the first half devoted to vocal technique, the second half to the musical repertoire and learning the musical language (jazz or pop or other genre). The vocal technique that I propose is a basic technique for all types of modern singing: from postural education to the care of breathing, from the use of abdominal muscles, to the emission of air to the resonance cavities. We will work on the sound, on the extension of the voice, on the high and low notes, on the passage of register, on the control, on the power and agility. From a repertoire perspective, the course will be tailored to the student's needs or interests, with an eye to the proper attitude to have while singing and on stage. I can prepare the student for the conservatory entrance exam and any form of audition. If the student wishes, I can give him/her notions of harmony and music reading.
