Willkommen [vɪl’kɔmən] - Welcome!
I am a professional soprano turned German diction coach & loving it! Combining my native language, the art of singing, a geeky fascination with IPA and a passion for German poetry.
“Her expertise with the German language and with vocal matters is extremely impressive, but it is her way of using this expertise to bring one closer to the essence of the music that makes her work so interesting and inspiring.”

Services
I work with students and professionals alike, in individual sessions or on stage- regardless of the singer’s language proficiency. I am available in person or through online platforms such as ZOOM, FaceTime or Skype. I have been working with clients in North America, Europe and Asia.
About me
I am a German-native professional soprano, German diction coach, and voice teacher, trained at the Juilliard School. My work centers on helping singers allow the German language to live fully within the voice—serving musical line, dramatic intent, and expressive freedom—across professional opera stages, young artist programs, and academic settings. Rooted in native linguistic knowledge and informed by long experience as both performer and pedagogue, my approach offers clarity and reliability in the most demanding performance environments, while keeping artistry at the center.
