Voice function analysis

"What gets measured, gets managed". 

With the Vox Phonetography software, the voice possibilities can be visually mapped.

Sounds familiar?

  • Your voice tires quickly when speaking or singing, or feels fatigued afterwards
  • Your voice sounds hoarse during or after use
  • You experience discomfort or pain in your throat or jaw while speaking or singing
  • Your vocal range has decreased — hitting high or low notes is more difficult
  • Your voice feels unstable or cracks unexpectedly

 

  • These symptoms may indicate that your voice is being overused or not used optimally. This can happen in both trained and untrained voices. The signals your body sends are a way to protect your voice from further strain or potential damage. That’s why it’s important to take action early and seek the right guidance if you experience voice problems.

Program options

Tell me what you’d like to work on, and we’ll create a plan designed just for you.
Below you’ll find several options that we can adjust to fit exactly what your voice needs.

Treatment program

6-8 sessions

€45 per session

If you’ve had voice problems lasting longer than three weeks, without illness (e.g. a cold or flu), voice therapy is advisable. Many voice issues can be improved significantly with a program of 6–8 sessions, provided the treatment is tailored to what your voice needs at that moment.
In other words: custom care.

One time coaching

30/60 minutes

€55,-/€110,- 

If you don’t have voice problems but would like someone to take a closer look at your vocal technique, a one-time coaching session might be right for you. This can take place either online or on location. Beforehand, we’ll determine together what your main question or focus point will be.

Group workshop

Duration to be determined in consultation

€ on request

Looking for a valuable workshop for your company or vocal group? A group workshop is a fun and effective way to explore and improve your vocal technique together. This can be geared toward both speaking and singing voice.
