I am Nora, a passionate voice trainer

My path to becoming a voice coach

Singing has been with me since I was young. At the age of 12, I began taking part in competitions and gaining my first stage experience. As an adult, I continued to sing passionately, but often without paying attention to the correct technique. This led to an overstrain that weakened my voice in the long term.

After a pregnancy and a significant weight loss, I finally faced a harsh reality: my voice was weak, the high notes that I had once been able to reach had disappeared. Singing, which had previously given me so much joy, suddenly felt empty and exhausting.

A turning point: meeting experienced voice coaches

Despite many attempts to rebuild my voice myself, I was unable to overcome my voice problems for a long time. It was only through meeting professional voice coaches - recognized experts in the industry - that I found my voice and the joy of singing again. These mentors rebuilt my voice with patience and targeted training, taught me techniques that I didn't know before, and gave me back my confidence in my voice.

My mission as a voice trainer

The positive experience and support I received during this time inspired me to be able to help other people in the same way. I therefore had my mentors train me professionally and have now been giving voice training lessons successfully for many years. My focus is on muscle voice training that specifically trains the vocal muscles. This technique is not taught in all voice training courses and enables my students to further expand their vocal possibilities and develop their voice in a healthy and powerful way.

My professional path began with part-time lessons and classes for various music schools. Over time, my interest grew and I decided to teach from home. Since then, I have devoted myself fully to my work as a voice trainer.

I also take part in various projects as a singer and am booked for performances. These experiences not only enrich my own vocal development, but also give me valuable insights that I incorporate into my teaching. Since I took this path, I have not only permanently strengthened my own voice, but also had the privilege of accompanying people on their personal vocal journey every day and helping them to discover and develop their own voice.

Further training and global expertise

In order to constantly expand my knowledge and stay up to date with the latest developments in voice training, I regularly take part in further training courses and workshops - both nationally and internationally. This enables me to learn new methods and approaches that I integrate into my work. I am also a member of the German Society for Musician Physiology and Medicine, an association dedicated to researching and promoting healthy techniques for musicians.

What I want to pass on to my students

In my lessons, I attach great importance to the fact that every voice is individual and has its own unique sound. I want to help my students:

  • To develop their voice healthily and sustainably,
  • to discover or rekindle the joy of singing and
  • to sing confidently and with full conviction, without fear of vocal problems.

Together we will find ways to develop the full vocal potential - powerfully, authentically and with the ease that makes singing so special.

Theory and practice: A holistic method for vocal development

In every lesson, theory is put directly into practice. We not only talk about the muscles and techniques that are important for vocal effects, but also apply this knowledge directly. An example: When it comes to which muscles are needed to reach a certain pitch, we first explain the theory - how the larynx works, what role the diaphragm plays and how the flow of breath is controlled. Then we put this into practice in exercises in which the students experience directly how muscle work affects the sound of their voice.

This also applies to special techniques such as the "rock voice". We discuss which vocal registers and breathing techniques are required and then practice them practically. This allows the students to receive quick feedback and develop their voice in a targeted manner.

An important point of my method is that theory and practice are always linked, which enables sustainable vocal development. I also adapt the lessons individually to the goals and needs of the students - whether for a music, theater or speaking career. In this way, I can provide everyone with optimal support on their path.

In summary, I offer the following in my lessons:

  • Training of the vocal organ: The focus is on training the vocal muscles, the respiratory system and the resonance chambers in the body. Through targeted exercises, students learn to use their voice powerfully and dynamically. It doesn't matter whether they want to learn to sing or speak - the techniques I teach are universal and adaptable to a wide variety of vocal challenges.
  • Vocal versatility: In addition to the technical training of the voice, I attach great importance to the fact that the students learn to use their voice flexibly. Whether pop, rock, classical or acting - the voice must be able to adapt to different genres and situations. In my lessons, the students learn to use their voice in a variety of ways, not only technically, but also emotionally and stylistically.
  • Targeted training: The lessons are structured in such a way that the weaknesses of the voice are worked on specifically, while the strengths are developed. Through individual exercises and continuous feedback, the students can improve their vocal skills step by step.
  • Practical application: Theory and practice go hand in hand. Each theoretical lesson is supplemented by practical exercises so that students can immediately implement and internalize what they have learned. This means that the knowledge is not only understood on an intellectual level, but is also experienced directly physically.

"Singing instruction is both an art and a science that deals with the principles and techniques of singing. Its aim is to help singers of all levels - from beginners to professionals - to discover, develop and refine their vocal abilities. It covers a wide range of topics, from breathing techniques and voice training to tone production and articulation to the interpretation of songs and roles."

What can you expect from voice training?

Analysis

Discover the possibilities of your voice and your body by understanding and getting to know them better. Have you ever wondered what strengths and weaknesses your voice has and in which areas it could still develop? A deeper examination of these questions can be crucial to developing your full potential. Together we can find out how you can further develop and improve your vocal skills through a carefully designed voice test. Let's take this exciting path together and explore how you can optimize your vocal presence and increase your expressiveness.

Vocal technique

Vocal technique includes a range of methods and exercises aimed at strengthening the voice and increasing its resilience. In my course, you will learn various techniques that will enable you to sing or speak for long periods of time without hoarseness, without the feeling of tightness or a tiring voice. These techniques are essential to improving your vocal skills while protecting your voice.

First, we will focus on how you can use your breathing effectively to support voice production. Proper breathing technique is the basis for healthy voice use. We will also train articulation and resonance so that your voice can sound freer and fuller without overexerting it. Through targeted exercises, you will learn to use your vocal cords efficiently and minimize the pressure on the vocal folds.

Theory and Practice

The practical part of the course builds on these theoretical foundations. Here you will learn how to use your voice correctly through targeted exercises. We will practice techniques that will help you use your voice without the risk of hoarseness or a sore throat. These techniques include correct breathing, correct articulation and the use of resonance chambers to achieve optimal vocal production.

Through the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application, you will develop conscious control over your vocal abilities. This will enable you to use your voice precisely and confidently, which is particularly important in situations where you have to speak or sing for long periods of time.

Preventive teaching

Preventive teaching is an important aspect for every singer and speaker, as it focuses on preventive measures to prevent vocal problems such as singer's nodules. In this context, I offer you comprehensive training in which you learn how to use and care for your voice correctly in order to avoid such health problems.

There are several voice disorders. The most common are singer's nodules, edema and polyps. Singer's nodules are small thickenings on the vocal cords that can arise from overuse or incorrect vocal technique. They often lead to a rough, hoarse voice and can make singing and speaking significantly more difficult. To avoid this, it is important to learn and use a healthy singing and speech technique.

In my course, I will show you various techniques and exercises that are specifically designed to protect and strengthen your voice. You will learn how to use your voice effectively and safely without putting strain on it. This includes proper breathing, correct posture and the use of resonance chambers, which help to relieve the voice and enable clear, sonorous vocal development.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1Can I learn to sing?
    Yes, definitely! Singing is a skill that relies on the coordination of different muscles - similar to other physical activities. Just as you can strengthen your muscles through targeted training, it is also possible to train and develop the muscles involved in singing. With the right guidance and regular practice, anyone can improve their voice and learn to sing.
    2Can diseased voices be made fit again with voice training?
    In certain cases, it is actually possible to strengthen a diseased voice through targeted voice training. Depending on the type and cause of the voice problems, individual training can help to regenerate the affected muscles and restore vocal resilience step by step. However, it is important that an expert assessment is carried out to ensure that voice training offers the right support for healing. In the case of serious or chronic voice problems, a doctor should always be consulted. I work closely with doctors to ensure that the training is optimally tailored to the medical needs and that comprehensive care can be guaranteed.
    3How long does it take until I can sing well?
    That depends entirely on how much time and commitment you invest in your own training alongside lessons. Progress in singing is very individual - some people make noticeable progress after a short time, while for others it may take longer. Important factors are regular practice, patience and the will to work on your own skills. With continuous work, you will surely notice improvements little by little and come closer to your goal of being able to sing well.
    4What is the contract term and are there alternative options?
    The regular contract period is 3 months. If the contract is not terminated in time, it will automatically be extended for another 3 months. I also offer flexible alternatives: You can purchase tickets for 5 or 10 lessons, which give you more freedom when planning your lessons. There is also the option of purchasing vouchers, which are ideal as gifts for music-loving friends and family.
    5Classes are great – but workshops are also a great option!
    That's why I'm looking forward to offering you various workshops soon. These will cover exciting topics and offer a great opportunity to learn new things and deepen your skills. If you'd like to find out more, feel free to send me a message. I look forward to your inquiry and to perhaps welcoming you to one of my workshops soon!
    6What if I can't sing?
    Don't worry - anyone can sing! Even though it may feel difficult at first, it's important not to give up and to keep at it. With patience, practice and the right guidance, you will make progress. I'm here to help you develop your voice and make the most of your potential. Together we can do it!
    7How often should I take singing lessons to see progress?
    It is best to take a singing lesson once a week to continually work on your voice. Regularity is crucial so that your technique and muscles can develop steadily. Additional practice at home between lessons speeds up the learning process and deepens what was learned in class.
    8What is the difference between voice training and singing lessons?
    The main difference lies in the focus of both approaches. In voice training, the focus is on muscular training of the voice, with singing playing a subordinate role. Here, the main focus is on breathing technique, posture and the basic development of the voice sound. In singing lessons, however, the focus is on the musical repertoire and the interpretation of songs. Voice training is either secondary or not included at all in singing lessons and is integrated differently depending on the goals of the lesson.
    9Do I need any previous knowledge to start singing lessons?
    No, no previous knowledge is necessary! Anyone can start singing lessons, whether beginner or advanced. The lessons are individually tailored to your abilities and needs, so that you can work on your voice step by step.
    10Can I change my voice pitch and tone through voice training?
    Yes, through targeted training you can improve the flexibility of your voice and reach both high and low notes more easily. Voice training helps you to expand your range and at the same time increase control over your voice. However, natural voice limitations must be taken into account, which vary from person to person.
    11Is voice training also suitable for speaking voices?
    Absolutely! Voice training can help you make your speaking voice more powerful and clear. People who speak a lot in their job, such as teachers or speakers, particularly benefit from healthy voice use and techniques that prevent hoarseness and exhaustion.
    12Can voice training help prevent hoarseness or vocal fatigue?
    Yes, with correct breathing and vocal technique you learn to use your voice more efficiently without overexerting it. Voice training strengthens the muscles responsible for voice production and helps you avoid vocal overload. This way you can reduce or even prevent hoarseness and vocal problems in the long term.
    13How long does a typical singing lesson last?
    A typical singing lesson usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes. During this time we work on warm-up exercises, vocal technique and repertoire. The length of the lesson can be individually adapted depending on your personal progress and goals.
    14What styles of music can I learn in singing lessons?
    In singing lessons you can learn a variety of musical styles, from pop and rock to extreme vocals and classical singing. The lessons are tailored to your musical taste and vocal preferences. You have the freedom to choose the songs you like while building a solid singing technique.
    15What should I do if my voice is tired after practicing?
    If your voice is tired after practice, you should give it some rest and make sure it gets enough rest. Drink plenty of water and avoid putting any further strain on your voice. If this happens frequently, talk to your teacher to make sure you are using a healthy singing technique.
    16Can I improve my breathing technique through voice training?
    Yes, breathing technique is a central part of voice training. Through targeted breathing exercises, you learn to use your breathing more efficiently, which helps you sing longer phrases and control your voice better. Good breathing technique also helps to relieve the strain on your voice and improve the sound.
    17At what age can you start singing lessons?
    Singing lessons can usually begin from around the age of six, provided the child shows sufficient concentration and interest. For younger children, it is a good idea to discover their voice in a playful way. However, it is never too late to start singing - adults can start at any time too.
