State-certified and trained in Richard Cross training. Trained in CVT (Complete Vocal Technique).

This course is for anyone wishing to better use their voice in a professional or personal context:

A professional singer and choir member with 30 years of experience (Y. NOAH, KASSAV, ALLIANCE ETHNIC, MAD IN PARIS, M. FUGAIN, STOMY BUGSY...) in singing, has decided to share her passion for music by offering her experience and vocal technique to people wishing to approach this beautiful discipline.

My role: to detect your tensions in order to teach you how to correct them, all while prioritizing listening to the body and the voice...

My goals in a few words:

- Allow you to move while expressing yourself without tension or apprehension
- To accompany you in the preparation of your auditions, speeches and castings
- You help to let your voice live, to lighten it
- Teach you to be in the pleasure and not only in the performance
- Help you get back in touch with the rhythm

Specific exercises to bring you:

Accuracy, vocal stability, volume, intensity, nuances, articulation, diction, good interpretation of your song, improvisation...

About Me
You always dream of singing?
It's time to take the plunge ...

A vocal technique adapted to your artistic expectations and your style, will be provided to you by Géraldine singer / professional chorister (M. Fugain, Y. Noah, Kassav, Alliance Ethnik ...) rich of 30 years of experience, she will teach you a vocal technique adapted to your style and your artistic expectations.

Trained at the Richard Cross pedagogy, I intervene on the voice sung and spoken. I will make you (re) discover, using pallaesthetic tools, vibratory, respiratory, resonance, theatrical and scenic expression, to acquire rhythmic and polyphonic consciousness, the sensoriality often hidden in our approach to singing and yet essential to access to all the richness of our voice.

My studies at the Conservatoire allowed me to develop a lyrical vocal technique
but very quickly my choice turned to current music. The latter led me to work several years as a professional chorister (Mr. Fugain, Y. Noah, Kassav, Ethnik Alliance, Stomy Bugsy ...) and singer in groups (Mad In Paris, Zam Zam .. .).
I teach singing since 4 years.

Hello and welcome !

My name is Charlotte, I am a singing teacher and professional opera singer.

I graduated from the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris at the highest level with honours and I have a Masters in Opera Singing from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, where I have won several prizes. I am the recipient of a prestigious scholarship from the Malvina and Denise Menda Foundation of the Fondation de France. I also have a BA in Art History from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Art History from the Courtauld Institute.

I teach the principles of vocal technique that form the basis of all singing styles: finding an ideal posture and alignment of the body and the air column and eliminating unnecessary tension; optimizing breathing and support (singing with the whole body); beauty and homogeneity of the voice in all registers (homogeneity especially in lyrical singing); clear and precise articulation in all languages. Of course, these bases adapt differently depending on the styles and offer keys to freeing the voice, and not to restricting the singer!

My teaching is holistic and I take into account the whole person with great sensitivity. The voice is at the center of the body and mind, and singing unifies the two. I deeply believe in the well-being that singing brings and its power to release. My life as an artist began as a classical dancer (I was a dancer in the young dancers program at the Royal Opera House, London) and this taught me a good awareness of my body and how to transmit it to others. Singing is mastered by listening to one's body. I also practice meditation and yoga at a high level and I transmit these techniques of connection to the body and breath, and the state of relaxation that they bring.


In my teaching, accuracy, solfege and precision are very important. I was first a violinist and I was a member of one of the prestigious choirs of the University of Cambridge during my degree. So I have a good ear that developed further during these trainings.

Singing is above all communication and my mission is to allow everyone to express their authentic and unique voice. I am passionate about theater and the art of communicating our sincere emotions and those of the characters we play. Vocal technique gives us the means, but it is the connection to oneself and to the meaning of the music and the text that allows us to express ourselves fully and sincerely. It is a work that fascinates me as much as that of vocal technique. All the more so, the connection to emotion broadens the palette of colors of the voice, without which we can only produce beautiful sound.

My classes usually last an hour. Typically, I start my classes with breathing exercises and body observation. We continue with warm-ups and vocalizations to work on technique. Then we work on the repertoire of your choice. I can also advise you on the repertoire of all styles.

Looking forward to reading from you and working together!

Fundamental Thought:
ANYONE CAN LEARN TO SING!
It's important to know this!
The singing voice is part of our human capabilities, it's just not taught in our culture, but EVERYONE can learn!

FOR WHOM:
This course is for anyone who wants to learn to sing, speak in public, or improve their speaking voice.
Children, teenagers, and adults alike, there's no age limit to start learning ;)
Whether you are a complete beginner (and wish to develop a healthy and solid foundation) or an intermediate (to continue to evolve and develop your technique) this is the right place for you and I would be delighted to accompany you on this exciting journey towards the singing voice!

MINDSET:
- First of all, we always work with gentleness, kindness and joy ; )
Singing is a very intimate act, which puts us in a form of vulnerability, so it is essential to work with confidence to feel free to experiment, to make mistakes and to evolve healthily.
The goal is to develop technically and artistically, at your own pace, and with joy!
- It's important to be kind to yourself: learning vocal technique can take time; it requires patience, perseverance, and confidence to see results ;)

POSITIONING:
My teaching method is simple: find what works for you, in relation to your goals and what challenges you.
I constantly adapt my approach and exercises to the student I have in front of me.
We always start from what the body can do (the spoken voice) to take it towards the singing voice.
We never work by force or against the body's natural processes: we always strive for a healthy vocal technique, free from tension and pain ;)

PROCEDURE:
During the first lesson, we will start by taking stock of the situation, seeing what is already in place and what needs to be worked on.
Afterwards :
- Vocal preparation (warm-up),
- Technical exercises (to progress towards the defined objectives),
- Work on the song of your choice (to put it into practice).

PIANO (Accompaniment):
For those who wish, I also offer lessons on piano accompaniment for singing.
You'll discover the basics of piano and chords (international notation, so no music theory) so you can (eventually) accompany yourself on any song in the world just by reading a chord chart! And that's pretty cool, isn't it? ;)

If you have any questions about the course, the teaching methods, or anything else, feel free to send me a message ;)

Looking forward to working together!
