At my Institute for Singing and Speaking Voice in Zurich I teach speakers and singers a healthy vocal technique and help them to be more successful in their careers. The voice plays a decisive role in your presentation in life and is crucial for your success. Both the content of your statement and the way you say something must be right for you to produce. I also work with people who have acute voice problems. As a voice trainer and expert in voice training, I have gained an international reputation and look after people from all over the world. I have over 20 years of stage experience as an opera singer. My career has taken me to various opera houses and concert stages such as New York, Munich, Bregenz, Vienna, Copenhagen, Nuremberg, Trier, Münster, Zurich. Already in my mid-20s I worked as a freelancer for Austrian radio, produced literary programmes and films and was a guest at Maria Summer's renowned speech therapy centre. I have gained a lot of experience in teaching people with speech impediments (e.g. stutterers) how to speak freely. I had the privilege of completing my speech voice training with the state actress Dagmar von Thomas in Berlin. For more than 30 years I have studied the most common breathing and voice techniques and have been teaching speech training since the beginning of my stage career. From my knowledge and experience I have created my own method for holistic voice training. The book about the method SONARAVERA® -"The way to a self-determined singer"- is a guide to an authentic voice.
