This isn't standard vocal training
Yes - we work with exercises. But every exercise serves a purpose. To get to that one note, to nail that one belt sound - we start with your goal and design the class around that. And where is this different?
Exercises stay available outside the lessons. The focus is on understanding what’s happening and learning how to adjust independently.
This approach is suited for singers who want clarity, structure, and long-term reliability, rather than quick fixes or generic methods.
Working this way raised a practical question: how do you make consistent decisions when there are so many different and often conflicting ideas about singing?
I looked for a way to filter that information and make sense of it in a consistent, practical way. And on my way I found the Universal Voice System. My work focuses on clarity through analysis and anatomy. Universal Voice provides the framework for that.
Here’s how it’s applied during lessons.
1. how a session is structured
1. Check-in + warm-up review
What was done
If there were any questions
2. Focused exercise work
Exercises repeated or adjusted
Small changes (e.g. vowel, pitch, coordination)
3. Song work
Applying the focus point to repertoire
Continuing or building on previous work
4. Wrap-up
2. what this structure supports
During a session, I work in real time.
I listen, analyze, and translate what I hear into clear, specific changes you can apply immediately. You get
Clear focus during lessons
Continuity between sessions
More efficient independent practice
Better decision-making while singing
3. The framework behind the work
To support this way of working, I use the Universal Voice framework.
What it provides:
A shared vocabulary to describe vocal function
A way to compare voices and contexts
Clear reference points instead of personal opinions
Structure without prescribing fixed outcomes
How I apply it:
Universal Voice terminology is used consistently
My own lesson structure is applied within that framework
Decisions are based on what is audible and functional
The framework supports decisions; it doesn’t dictate them
4. What this leads to
Students report increased confidence, greater consistency, and less uncertainty during performance.
More importantly, they develop the ability to self-correct and make informed choices while practicing.
The goal is not dependency on lessons, but reliability and autonomy.
5. What this is not
A fixed method
Label-based (voice types such as soprano, alto, tenor, or baritone used as fixed identities)
Therapy
A one-size-fits-all approach
A system designed to create dependency
The work stays focused on function, clarity, and practical application.
