COACHING

Voice- and Face-to-Face Training

On the coaching market there is a huge number of diverse and interesting offers. With my versatile education (artistic and pedagogic university diploma) and professional experience as a musician, singer, actor, speaker and vocal physiologist, I concentrate on the areas of voice and face-to-face training. Both areas are important key skills for any rhetorician.

The introduction of methodological elements of acting and singing offers my clients a new and creative way to access the topics of voice and face-to-face training.

Voice Training

The human voice does transport not only verbal and textual content, but also the speakers emotions and mood.

Physical tension, nervousness, stress, as well as technical errors when speaking, may significantly restrict the sovereignty of the lecturer and thus unintentionally degrade the quality of his presentation. Targeted voicetraining can counteract these mechanisms and develop a relaxed, healthy and creative use of one's own voice.

Face-to-Face Training

Competence is conveyed not only by the speakers knowledge and expertise, but also by the successful presentation of this knowledge. People who want and need to position themselves in their professional lives, should be clearly aware of their personal impression and individual expression in order to strengthen their sovereignty when presenting complex subjects, and to improve their personal appearance.

The topics voice training and face-to-face training go hand in hand perfectly.

Voice complements personal presence and vice versa.

 

The training programs and sessions I offer can be tailored to individual needs and can be conducted both for groups and individuals. Depending on the individual it may be reasonable to only take lessons in one of the both section. This allows to concentrate on specific areas which need to be improved, thus addressing each clients’s individual needs.

Die Fledermaus - Guest-Performance with Obstacles

A touring theatre group has been hired to bring the famous Johann Strauss operetta "Die Fledermaus" to stage. The audience is already waiting in the auditorium, when the only four members of the ensemble who have arrived yet learn about the tour bus with all the other actors, as well as choir and orchestra - has get stuck in traffic still far away from the venue. So only those four - the theater director, a pianist, a tenor and a soprano - can save the evening. They quickly assemble an improvised stage set consisting of wardrobe furniture and so the "guest-performance with obstacles" takes its course ...

Männe, hak´ mir mal die Taille auf

Franz Lehar, Leo Fall, Oscar Straus, Paul Lincke and Ralph Benatzky are most famous for their operettas and still present in the repertoires of many theatres. Only few know that Lehar & Co. as conductors and resident composers also have produced songs for the literary cabaret. Among these songs are little treasures which reflect zeitgeist, gender relations and morals of the years prior to World War 1 in a cheerfully satirical way.
Look forward to a journey into the musical entertainment culture of the first decade of the 20th century!
