Experiences from others
“Roel’s vocal coaching was a before/after moment for all of us. We were a group of professional musicians, but untrained vocalists. Roel quickly explained the physical mechanisms of the voice we needed for our vocal parts, and gave us simple exercises to learn to use them. Within two hours we had the tools we needed, and these allowed us to give much better and healthier vocal performances during the tour.”
“I have been taking singing lessons from Roel for a number of years now. A fixed and reliable address for the best singing lessons! Because of Roel’s knowledge of many different singing techniques and teaching methods, his lessons fit in perfectly with my studies at the conservatory. The lessons are well thought-out in terms of structure, exciting and always a joy to return home singing.
Specific lesson goals are drawn up together and pursued by means of specific technical exercises. Roel is always available for me to prepare a solid audition. With the added bonus of good knowledge of the German language and pronunciation.
I wish everyone a Roel in his vocal life!”
“I have been working as a professional musical singer/actor for years and have come across the most diverse musical styles, singing techniques and even voice subjects in which I had to sing. And what I like so much is the versatility of Roel’s expertise in these different musical styles and how to approach them technically and musically.
As a teacher, he is always developing and that is why, after all these years, he is still able to help me broaden and deepen my technical knowledge. But it is also very nice to work with him on the musicality and playfulness/interpretation of material and my own individuality in it. Because of his lessons I feel independent in the work field and able to take on and solve the challenges and difficulties that arise spontaneously.”
A good singing teacher distinguishes himself by moving with the times. Being just as eager to learn as his or her pupils are. Being open to continue to develop himself. And passing this on to his students in a very pleasant way. And Roel is such a teacher.”
“Roel is a perfect vocal coach for me. He sees what you need and what can be improved. He adapts himself to you as gently as possible.
Thanks to Roel I am much more aware of the singing part in my performance so that I can focus more on the story that I’m telling when I am singing chansons.
Someone you always want to have as your coach!”
“I am not the best singer and that makes me insecure. But Roel puts me at ease. He thinks along with me in my process. How I have to get somewhere. He makes singing technique clear and tangible. This makes me feel free and open. I always feel a lot more confident when I walk out the door after a relaxed hour.”
