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.

Francesca
Singing Lesson - Italian Soprano - Soloist and voice teacher for any style!
I am an Italian soprano, graduated from the Dutch National Opera Academy. I work as a soloist as a freelance singer, and I teach singing to students of different levels and ages for many years. The most important thing during my lessons is to help the student find a healthy and comfortable way of singing! During the first part of the lesson, we will focus on Technique and breathing, while during the second part of the lesson we will focus on the repertoire chosen together with the student, applying the aspect of the technique that we worked on previously in the lesson.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

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!

Zuzanna
Online singing tutor. Professional vocal coach with over 8 years of experience
Hi, I'm an active opera singer and I offer one-to-one online singing lessons to students of all ages and abilities. I have a Master of fine arts (Department of Vocal and Acting Studies) from Lodz Musical Accademy in Poland and I've performed professionally as an opera singer in Baltic Opera. In 2020 I got a special scholarship from prestigious Accademia D'Arte Lirica in Italy. Apart from opera experience, I was a leader of the alternative rock band for many years. Currently I continue my career in Italy singing in many opera theaters and teaching. As a vocal coach I specialize in multi-genre styles such as classical, musical, pop, rock and jazz. I put emphasis on the breathing techniques, enhancing body awareness, correct emission, musicality, interpretation, pure intonation and diction. I create original lesson plans that contour to my students individual needs. I provide a compassionate and creative learning environment in addition to a solid foundation in classical technique and musical fundamentals. My methods consist of warm-ups that help understand breath support and vocal placement to improve vocal awareness and stretch range. Psychology is a very important factor in my teaching method, because I believe that singing is also a great therapy. I teach children, teenagers, adults and senior (beginners to more advanced). Some of my students are already successful in the music market. If you want to improve your voice and maintain vocal health , regardless of the level and the age, please don't hesitate and join my vocal class!

Laura
Guitar classes for beginners and intermediate level
My class consists of planning and organizing the study of guitar technique in order to guide the study of a classical or modern repertoire. At the same time, I am adding music theory applied to the guitar so that the student can carry out a synchronization process that allows them to feel freedom when playing the instrument. I use the technical resources of jazz or the modern guitar school and little by little I am introducing the knowledge of various composers to understand the evolution of said instrument.
