* Individual singers / First lesson

Warm up and relaxing
A relaxed body and relaxed vocal chords are essential for the quality of sound. Psychological and physical tension (out of focus, stage fright, muscle tension,..) are obstacles which we must overcome by warming up and relaxing.

Vocal exercise
Vocal chords are heated and become more flexible during the vocal exercise. This is also essential for the quality of sound along with the relaxed body. This is how we also train the vocal reach.

Choose your song to sing
A student can choose his/her song to sing and during the singing of the selected song we can assess the student’s ability, flaws and prepare the necessary plan and future work to improve vocal technique, interpretation, breathing,..

* Individual singers / Next lessons

Oto Pestner will personally help you to develop:

Vocal technique
Every singer is an individual personality and has their own abilities and limitations. We will help the student to develop the best possible vocal technique for singer’s best use. We will upgrade and improve existing vocal technique.

Correct breathing technique
Correct breathing is important to use as much lung capacity and being relaxed at the same time. General rule is to use diaphragmatic breathing, but regarding the student’s style we can recommend other types of breathing as well.

Intonation and vocal range
These two components are very important in development of student’s voice. It is necessary to train vocal chords to widen the range of vocal and intonation.

Interpretation
Interpretation is emotional part of the singing. Understanding and performing the correct emotions in the song can lift the song to a much higher level.

Self confidence
When a singer steps on the stage he/she must also bring with him/her a certain self confidence to perform the song the best way possible. Low or high self confidence directly reflects on interpretation of the song and is an important part of the singing process.
