WORKSHOP/MASTERCLASS

Free Your Natural Voice workshops

In addition to private lessons, Michaela facilitates Free Your Natural Voice workshops privately and in the school environment.

Experience what it’s like to speak and sing with your natural voice. Learn how to have more ease, flexibility, stability, strength and confidence in your voice and how to sing and speak from a more open, expressive and comfortable space.

Free Your Natural Voice workshops focus on helping people, through awareness, find the full potential of their natural voice. These workshops, run by singer, performer and voice coach Michaela Burger, include one-on-one personal advice on how to connect with and free your natural voice.

Workshops are aimed at helping students gain confidence and improve communication skills and can be tailored to various needs, levels and time periods.

Workshops can cover - but are not limited to - some of the following topics: facing nerves, breath work, making noise confidently, body awareness, connecting the voice to the breath, freedom with sound, spacial awareness, performance technique, microphone technique, story telling through song, original songwriting, feeling rhythm, expression through words and being comfortable in our skin.

Please note: These workshops focus on the holistic approach to vocal production therefore as well as people interested in singing, they are very suitable for people who are only interested in freeing their spoken voice.

MASTERCLASSES

Michaela offers masterclasses for performing arts students of all ages (drama and music students). Students perform in a ‘performance setting’ in front of their peers with Michaela working with them one on one. This set up creates a valuable learning environment. The students observe the positive changes in their peers and witness the implemented techniques working in front of their eyes. They therefore trust the process and learn that they can benefit from the techniques too. It is a collaborative set up, with students discovering their own experience as an audience member and discussing the impact of their peers performances and what enhances connection to audience.

Testimonials

"At the beginning Michaela taught me in only 3 private lessons the basic technics and now I can sing “Happy Birthday” and my favourite song “You don’t own me”. This is amazing. I never thought that this is possible…I rejoice for all Australians who have the the possibility to get singing lessons or voice training from Michaela.”

Monika Fischer, Germany

“Michaela is an amazing teacher. I (38) could never sing – I was the one who was always told to shut up in school and when it came to “Happy Birthday”, Christmas carols or sing alongs I only moved my lips…but I wanted to learn singing!!!"

“This workshop is very helpful! It was amazing to find after a few simple exercises that I can use my voice more efficiently and even breath easier! I’m also finding the take home exercises useful to improve the clarity in my speech…I can’t wait for the next workshop! Thanks Michaela”

Megan Avery, France

“I thought I’d take a few singing lessons to allow me to sing in the shower and not dread the sound of my own voice, but Michaela has not only given me more confidence but given me new goals to strive for. Her always friendly advice and happy nature make lessons something to look forward to and her teaching methods make such a noticeable difference.”

Kristina Adanichkin
