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.

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!

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.

As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs.

Karolina
Singing lessons in Copenhagen. Discover your voice with a vocal teacher/mezzo soprano Karolina.
Hello, everyone! My name is Karolina, and I'm a vocal teacher and a professional opera singer. Since childhood, classical art has been my inspiration, and my musical journey began at the age of 7 in piano class. After completing my Opera Master Singing Studies in Lithuania, I further honed my singing skills at the prestigious Mozarteum University in Austria. Through personal and pedagogical training, I delved into "healthy singing" – the Italian technique known as "Inhalare la voce." I apply this technique to beginners and advanced singers alike, spanning not only classical pieces but also popular songs and ballads. Whether you're a beginner or someone with prior singing experience, I'm always delighted to offer my assistance and share my knowledge. Singing lessons encompass a range of elements: Warm-ups, voice training, exercises, breath control, singing techniques, sound attack, song study, interpretation, pronunciation, musical expression, and repertoire. Each individual is unique, and your personal goals and love for musical art take precedence. I eagerly await the opportunity to work with you! Best regards, Karolina
