VOCAL COACHING
Maria is a vocal coach dedicated to helping people develop their voice with confidence, curiosity, and authenticity. Her holistic approach supports singers in exploring the deep connection between voice, mind, and body, unlocking new sounds and expressive freedom.
Her early musical journey was shaped by severe stage fright that once prevented her from singing. Through persistence, supportive mentorship, and intentional practice, she was able to commit her passion, and she is now guiding her students to overcome similar fears and step into their voices with confidence.
Maria believes that everyone can sing. She resonates deeply with the perspective of Joan Melton and Kenneth Tom: “We only have one voice, whether speaking, singing, laughing, or crying, it all comes from the same vocal mechanism”. She works with singers, performers, and professionals across corporate industries to build confidence, clarity, and presence through voice.
Why learn with Maria?
A lifelong learner, Maria approaches every student as a unique individual. She works collaboratively, offering tailored guidance, clear explanations, and a safe, supportive space to explore new and unfamiliar vocal territory.
Maria goes beyond teaching technique, combining vocal training with coaching and learning strategies to help singers build a healthy, sustainable voice that truly works for them.
She aims at creating a safe, energetic and positive environment for her students to thrive.
Methodologies: Her practice draws from Estill Voice Training (EVT), MDH Breathing Coordination (MDHBC), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside functional, evidence-based voice pedagogy. These are integrated with somatic awareness, performance psychology, and artist-centred exploration, supporting both technical development and expressive depth.
She prioritises vocal health, sustainable technique, and deep respect for each singer’s individuality, choices, and style.
Where beneficial, her work may include consent-based touch - always clearly communicated and agreed in advance - to support awareness of breath, coordination, and embodied voice.
Maria aims at empowering singers to be able to grow their voices, their career or their hobby autonomously over time.
