German Diction Coaching

For professional singers · Opera, oratorio and Lied
Online, one to one

 

German is my first language, and German repertoire is the centre of my work as a bass: Wagner, Mozart, Haydn, Berg, Beethoven, Strauss and Lied from Schubert to Wolf. I have sung roles such as Gurnemanz, Rocco, Sarastro, Doktor and Hunding on stage.

 

In my coaching, we work on your actual repertoire: vowels and consonants, word stress, the melody of the sentence, and how text and music come together. You bring the score. I bring the ear of a native speaker and the experience of someone who performs the repertoire on stage.

 

How we can work together:
  • Role Debut: We go through your whole part: text, stress, sounds, and the questions where even native speakers disagree.
  • Audition Check: Your arias, ready for the panel.
  • Dialogue Session: The spoken scenes of your German Singspiel or Operetta, you are workin on.

 

Sessions take place online. Send me the role or aria you are preparing and the date of your first rehearsal or audition.
