Singing lessons in English for all levels by professional voice teacher, vocal coach and singer
I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.
I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!
Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

About Me
Music has been a major part of my life since childhood. I majored in voice and performed opera for many years, then veered more into musical theatre. I also write musicals, operas, choral music, and songs, many of which get performed with some regularity and have won awards. After moving to New York, I started teaching voice and music and have been teaching now for over 20 years, both with youth theatre programs and privately. I'm learning new things every day and I incorporate them into my teaching as I help students overcome their fears, roadblocks, and anything else that gets in the way of singing beautifully. I continue to sing professionally as well. I am excited to start this new chapter of my life in Berlin!Education

Improve your musical creativity with personalised classes from multi-Instrumentalist singer and improviserDo you wish to learn writing music from scratch or improve your composition skills without a necessity of music theory knowledge? Do you want to produce your own music but struggle with the technical aspects?
I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter and performer and I offer applied classes on writing/arranging/producing pieces of music using various instruments of your choice, including your computer. I use a 'learning by creating' method, where we focus and go deeper on certain aspects depending on your needs on your music creation process. I like to use personalised methods that matches your desires, rather than following a certain curriculum. The goal is to help you gain or improve awareness on how a piece of music is written and learn various ways to begin and finalise a writing process.
During our practices, I will naturally be transferring my knowledge on certain aspects such as:
- Rhythm
- Form
- Dynamics
- Texture
- Melody making
- Singing
- Guitar playing
- Placing words into music/making music around words
- Improvisation as a compositional tool
- Integration of Ableton Live into creative process
- Recording
- Mixing
During the sessions, we'll either write together from scratch or work on your own material and tackle the issues of constructing a piece of music. Please contact me if interested, then we will have a first video call where we get to meet each other and discuss where you stand and your wishes. This way I can create a personalised program that suits your level and speaks to your area of interest.

Professional singer, I teach Lyrical and Popular Singing classes from beginner to advanced level.Graduated in Lyrical Singing and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Chile.
Although I am a professional lyrical singer, throughout my career I have performed in various musical styles out of a constant curiosity to better understand our instrument and our bodily and emotional relationship through singing, and the various possibilities for development that they offer us. the different styles.
My classes are aimed at everyone who loves to sing!!
Both for those who want to start exploring this art and for those who have an intermediate or advanced level and want to improve their performance in some way.
In each class we will work on relaxation, connection, breathing and vocal technique directed at the musical style that you wish to address. We will also work on phonetics, and all the musical details related to the style we are working on.
Normally I take classes in Lyrical Singing and Popular Singing (Tango, Bolero, R&B, Jazz, Bossa Nova).

Acting workshops, how to understand a script and character !Hi I'm Chloe :) Im an acting coach and working actor. I know how scary and daunting the acting world can be, especially when you're trying to train, work and audition at the same time. Im here to make the training side (of becoming an actor) become a fun and flexible experience.
What I can help train you in:
- I will help you learn how to apply yourself to scripts, using various different methods which I too have learnt while at Drama school.
- ill teach you how to develop a character and find a way to connect, through improvisation.
- I use many acting practioners methods, ranging from Uta Hagen to Meisner. Therefore we can work together to find out what works best for you.
-Ill help you learn how to match your voice and physicality towards your performance.
- we will also build confidence within performing Shakespeare and ill teach you new techniques on how to make a Shakespeare speech modern and exiting!
- throughout this process we will work towards finding you 3 contrasting monologues that work for you (2 contemporary and one Shakespeare) which will be perfect for either, acting auditions or drama school auditions.
My Acting workshops are a collaborative space, where I will work with you to help you find your ideal approach towards a character, script and performance.
Sonny
Drama School Audition Preparation and Acting LessonsAs an actor myself, I know how scary auditions/Drama School auditions can be. With each school requesting different skills and monologues, it can be hard knowing what works well for you as a performer and what will show you off the most. As someone who has been through the process and was successfully offered places at East 15, Lamda and Alra, I would now love to be able to support others through the journey
During my lessons, we will focus on your Classical and Contemporary monologues while exploring the best audition techniques for in person or self tapes. I can answer questions, help you find the right scripts for you and support you through the process.
Camille
CINEMA, ACTING, IMPROVISATION WORKSHOPS - - -These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.
Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.
The objective of this training is to be able to:
- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity
(...)
Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.
These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.
