Do you want to know your vocal range? To be able to sing higher notes without damaging your voice? To learn how to sing transitional notes? To achieve a powerful yet agile voice?
My name is Matteo Schifanoia, I am a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, which helps us perceive and consider our bodies as musical instruments.
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 lessons will be tailored to the student's needs and interests, with an emphasis on proper stage presence and posture. I can prepare students for conservatory entrance exams and all types of auditions. If the student wishes, I can also provide instruction in harmony and music reading.

No, we don't think that being able to sing is absolutely necessary for actors. Not every actor or actress has the ambition to appear in a musical and not every series or film features singing. Still, vocal coaching is a good idea... whether you want to learn to sing or not!

With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress.

Anyone who has ambitions as a singer or who wants to expand his or her skills to make it easier to land a role will soon end up taking singing lessons... but also those who have no intention of ever performing songs. can benefit greatly from vocal coaching.

You often have to be on set for a long time and then it is important to use your voice properly, so that it does not get tired and you can speak as powerfully after hours of recording as before. Finally, it is very useful to be able to put different effects on your voice. Just think of the raspy character of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the barking explanations of Samson, the full voice of Kabouter Plop or the grunted insults exchanged in The Chronicles of Sabrina. Judiciously used voice effects can not only add color to characters, they are sometimes essential or almost automatically arise from emotional moments. So being able to use them correctly and maintain control over them without damaging your vocal cords is essential.

What you learn

As is the case with almost all of our courses, we teach you techniques from different approaches. For our singing lessons, these are Speech Level Singing (SLS), Estill Voice Training (EVT) and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT).

Here are some things that will pass in review:

• The similarities and differences between the three major singing techniques
• Using support
• The larynx, lips, and other organs that help control voice production
• Add necessary twang
• Add air or not
• Different vocal modes (with CVT): neutral, curbing, overdrive and edge.
• Variety of voice effects including: creaking, distortion, grunting, rattling, screaming, vibrato and ornamentation
• For actors: relationship between voice color, effects and the playing of all kinds of characters
• For actors: the relationship between stem kle

• Help with the CV

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality.

Lors de nos cours, nous découvrirons votre voix et je vous aiderai à l’explorer. Grâce à mes années d’études en chant, j’ai acquis un solide bagage technique. J’analyserai vos besoins afin de vous accompagner au mieux. La confiance, l’écoute et la recherche seront nos piliers pour progresser ensemble. Nous travaillerons le souffle, le soutien, l’homogénéisation de la voix ainsi que son agilité à travers différentes vocalises. Avec les morceaux que nous étudierons, nous ferons le lien entre technique vocale, apprentissage d’une partition et interprétation. Le fil conducteur de mon enseignement sera le lien entre le corps et la voix.

L'objectif du cours sera de vous aider à exprimer plus facilement vos émotions et à les expliciter pour qu'elles gagnent en profondeur, notamment en utilisant le moins de censure consciente ou inconsciente possible.
Pour ceux qui voudront plutôt transmettre un message, les cours vous aideront à faire le choix de la meilleure image poétique possible, à rechercher le vocabulaire nécessaire et à utiliser plus instinctivement et donc naturellement les effets de styles.

Cela se fera au moyen de jeux poétiques, de défis d'écriture, de pastiches (s'exercer à imiter le style d'un poète), et plein d'autres techniques d'apprentissage.

Singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra have left an indelible mark on American popular music through their jazz vocal stylings, fusing a conversational delivery with rhythmic and melodic improvisation. This course is tailored for each student to teach the unique characteristics of jazz singing and how to apply these characteristics to create your own sound. You will learn jazz phrasing, how to integrate good technique into jazz song styles, and how to sing with a number of time feels and grooves.

The course focuses on jazz vocal technique and delivery, including use of vocal inflections, dynamics, articulation, and interpretation, and how to improvise through rhythmic and melodic phrasing. The course then will go deeper into jazz improvisation expanding the musical vocabulary of scat studying syllabels, rhythm, and melodic ideas.

In this course we will apply these concepts to jazz tunes in various tempos and grooves, including ballads, medium swing, fast swing, and bossa nova. You'll move on to learn important considerations for effective stage presence and use of the microphone, too.

Lors de nos cours, nous découvrirons votre voix et je vous aiderai à l’explorer. Grâce à mes années d’études en chant, j’ai acquis un solide bagage technique. J’analyserai vos besoins afin de vous accompagner au mieux. La confiance, l’écoute et la recherche seront nos piliers pour progresser ensemble. Nous travaillerons le souffle, le soutien, l’homogénéisation de la voix ainsi que son agilité à travers différentes vocalises. Avec les morceaux que nous étudierons, nous ferons le lien entre technique vocale, apprentissage d’une partition et interprétation. Le fil conducteur de mon enseignement sera le lien entre le corps et la voix.

L'objectif du cours sera de vous aider à exprimer plus facilement vos émotions et à les expliciter pour qu'elles gagnent en profondeur, notamment en utilisant le moins de censure consciente ou inconsciente possible.
Pour ceux qui voudront plutôt transmettre un message, les cours vous aideront à faire le choix de la meilleure image poétique possible, à rechercher le vocabulaire nécessaire et à utiliser plus instinctivement et donc naturellement les effets de styles.

Cela se fera au moyen de jeux poétiques, de défis d'écriture, de pastiches (s'exercer à imiter le style d'un poète), et plein d'autres techniques d'apprentissage.
