CINEMA, ACTING, IMPROVISATION WORKSHOPS - - -
These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.
Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.
The objective of this training is to be able to:
- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity
(...)
Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.
These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.
THE TRAINER
From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

Every voice is different, every student is different which means every lesson its different. I take time in prepping my lesson and exercises to improve your voice - its never general - everything is personalised to your voice, what you would like to improve and gain.

Singing lessons for young and old, at your own pace (classical and other styles)
Do you like to sing and want to develop your voice? Great, because singing is great fun and healthy!
During my lessons we will explore the possibilities of your voice together. The development of a healthy, natural voice and pleasure are central.
That is why the lessons are completely adapted to your qualities, taste and pace. Together we work on solid singing technique, breathing, articulation, interpretation, musicality and vocal hygiene. We explore the classical singing repertoire and look for music that suits your voice. You can also take a trip to other genres (jazz, pop, musical, ...) You learn to use your voice from a classical approach, but with good singing technique you can handle many styles!
Why you should come to class:
- You have always wanted to learn to sing, with or without a specific goal in mind
- You are curious about the possibilities for (further) developing your voice
- You are looking for a creative outlet
- You suffer from a often tired speaking voice and want to make it stronger
- You sing in a choir and you want to work on your singing technique or you need some extra help while studying
- ...
Whatever your motivation, you are always welcome!
Do you have questions or doubts about whether singing is something for you? Do not hesitate to contact me.

Singing lessons in English for all levels by professional voice teacher, vocal coach and singer
I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC (TADA!, Brooklyn Children's Theatre, The Neighborhood Playhouse) with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.
I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!
Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

Acting & Audition Prep / Coaching for Drama Schools
Acting is a skill honed by dedication and love of the craft, and taking the steps to audition for drama school proves you have that passion inside of you.
Having been trained at New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, under the Stella Adler Studio, I have developed the art of the audition monologue and would love to share this with you.
Stella Adler, who taught the likes of Marlon Brando, was a member of Stanislavski’s Group Theatre, who created her own Acting Studio in New York City after the collaboration split. Her technique is a development of the traditional Stanislavski technique, with an added emphasis on imagination. These audition prep classes will be based upon Stella Adler and Stanislavski’s approach.
On top of coaching, I can also help find the perfect audition monologues for you if we choose to work together over multiple sessions.
Feel free to contact me if you’d like to find out more.
