Preparing for Switzerland's biggest singing competition: the Swiss Voice Tour

Intensive, tailor-made training

Right from the start, Sophia showed exceptional determination. Our singing lessons were adapted specifically for her, incorporating vocal exercises, breathing techniques and simulated stage performances. The aim was not only to strengthen her technical skills, but also to prepare her mentally for the stress and expectations of singing competitions.

Personalised support

Our singing teacher's guidance enabled Sophia to work on crucial aspects such as voice projection, accuracy and emotional expression. She also received invaluable advice on managing stage fright and the importance of posture. Thanks to this preparation, Sophia was able to approach her performance with remarkable confidence and control.

The impact of preparation on performance

The quality of Sophia's teaching and commitment was evident from her first audition. Performing Barbara Pravi's "Voilà", Sophia showed a deep understanding of the song, captivating audiences with her powerful voice and sincere interpretation. This level of preparation was decisive for her qualification.

In summary, Sophia's preparation was intensive and meticulous, reflecting both her gift and the professional support of our school. It was this winning combination that enabled her to stand out in this prestigious competition.
