Frequently Asked Questions
What is Singer Skills?
Singer Skills is an online voice training platform created by internationally-renowned voice teacher Lotte Janssen. With your Singer Skills Membership, you'll get hours of content that you can stream anywhere, anytime. In your own time, on any device. With 10-20 min tutorials you’ll work on acquiring all the skills a singer needs. From a healthy vocal technique to gaining more confidence as a singer. Improve your breathing, vocal strength, flexibility and pitch. The mental and emotional side of the singer is also very important in Lotte's teaching. New videos are added every two weeks.
What will I learn?
The power of Singer Skills is not about some magic secret concept. All the information you could ever need to become a great singer is available for free online, in theory. But too much information can be as confusing as too little information.
Singer Skills will guide you. Will provide quality voice training in an organized manner. It'll teach you things you didn't even know you wanted to learn! So the real value is in the skills you’ll develop, step by step. Getting in shape and understanding and growing on the way, with joy. Celebrating your voice.
How do I start with Singer Skills?
When you first start your membership, I highly recommend starting with the Lesson Plan, because it really covers all the basics. It provides an organized training program ready to follow step by step.
The second option is to search or browse through all videos and to practice whatever you feel like. If you know what you need and want, that's great! All Singer Skills videos are designed to work on their own. This is also a great option if you're a voice teacher looking for inspiration or information on a specific subject.
I'm a professional singer. Will Singer Skills be useful to me?
Professional singers use Singer Skills as a tool to stay in shape AND as a tool to get inspiration for their own teaching and/or practice. The best way to find out if Singer Skills is right for you is to try it out. Singer Skills is suitable for all levels
I'm a beginning singer. Is Singer Skills for me?
Yes! It will give you a world of information and tools to study and progress. And if (a part of) a video is too difficult for you, no worries! You can always get back to it. Singer Skills is suitable for all levels
Do I still need a singing teacher?
SInger Skills is a wonderful tool to study the voice. But a real person listening to you remains absolutely necessary in singing. Online or in person. Every singer studies to become their own teacher, in a way, that is an important goal. And you can get very far! But we all need someone to give feedback on how we're doing. Even if it's just occasionally.
Singer Skills will make person-to-person coaching by Lotte available. Expected in 2022.
