STUDIO & TOUR COACHING

 

"EVERY SINGER IS UNIQUE AND THEREFORE NEEDS A VERY INDIVIDUAL APPROACH TO VOCAL COACHING. ONLY IN THIS WAY, WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS AND WITH ATTENTION TO DETAIL, WE CAN GET THE MAXIMUM OUT OF A VOICE"

 

 

Every singer and every artist wants to be able to call up and present 100% of their vocal abilities, both in the studio and live on stage - every day. Of course, this is also a major concern of record companies and managements, who are also interested in perfect performances of their artists. 

 

A not well working vocal technique, mental stress, physical limitations and a maybe not quite healthy lifestyle lead again and again to singers getting vocal problems during a tour or production phase, not being able to call up 100% of their vocal abilities and in the worst case losing their voice and having to cancel shows or studio sessions. This scenario has a number of unpleasant consequences for the singer, but also for the label and management.

 

 

Support and preparation by a professional vocal coach will help the singer to develop his full potential to deliver a superior performance in any live and studio situation, even under pressure and stress.

 

 

"In my coaching sessions, I work with individually adapted techniques and so-called “QUICK FIXES” from various vocal methods, that bring immediate results and improvements to the vocal performance, including stamina and vocal health during a tour, without changing the unique characteristics of the voice. Also, vocal massage in order to immmediately reduce and eliminate muscle tension and to strengthen the muscles of the vocal tract is an important part of my work.

A combination of fitness and singing also plays a role in my coaching sessions for tour preparation, in order to train stamina and a gentle but effective, powerful use of the voice. 

Each singer receives a completely customized warm-up and cool-down for the tours. 

Support during the tour on site or via Zoom is also possible"

Andreas Ohnhaus – Vocal Coach | Expert in Tour Preparation & Tour Support

Berlin-based vocal coach and singer Andreas Ohnhaus is one of Germany’s leading experts in tour preparation and live artist support. For more than ten years, he has worked with some of the country’s most renowned artists, including Alligatoah, Wincent Weiss, K.I.Z, Tream, Bülent Ceylan, Tarek K.I.Z, YU, Kelvin Jones, and many more. He supports both arena tours and the biggest festivals in Germany, ensuring that artists can use their voices healthily, expressively, and powerfully — even under the highest demands.

His coaching covers every stage of a tour: from individually tailored warm-ups and cool-downs, vocal techniques, and "quick fixes" for instant improvement to vocal massage, fitness and vocal yoga sessions, mental training, and lifestyle consulting. Andreas works directly on set, during soundchecks, or remotely via Zoom to make sure that every performance on stage reflects 100% of an artist’s vocal potential.

His coaching and vocal therapy methods, as well as his vocal massage techniques, are continuously updated through close collaboration with leading voice researchers from England. Additionally, Andreas uses the vocal analysis software “Praat” to align his acoustic vocal assessments with data-based results. This combination ensures the best possible, fully customized coaching approaches for each artist.

In his work, Andreas places special emphasis on preserving and strengthening the individual voice, enhancing expression and endurance, so that long tours and multi-day festivals can be performed without vocal strain. Drawing from Estill Voice Training, Primal Voice, Complete Vocal Technique, Zen of Screaming, Functional Voice Training, Lax Vox, and Speech Level Singing, he blends proven techniques with effective, immediate solutions.

In addition to his work as a tour coach, Andreas is the lead singer of the band ANTITYPE and Head of the Vocal Department at BIMM University Berlin, where he trains the next generation of professional singers.
