SOPRANO
The Belgian soprano Lieve Geuens, who lives in the Netherlands, studied both jazz and classical voice and concluded both studies with a Master’s degree (MM), where she received a cum laude distinction for versatile expression. See also her biography.
Lieve is available for opera-recitals, lieder-recitals and oratorio.

Singing teacher/workshops
Lieve Geuens gives private lessons at her home, and workshops at external locations on request. If you are interested in booking a workshop, click here.
Besides her jazz and classical voice training, both concluded with a Master’s degree, she has also explored a range of vocal techniques. Lieve is a Master Teacher in EVT, certified in Pahn, certified in vocal (laryngeal) massage, and is familiar with CVT, Lichtenberg technique and Alexander technique.
After having worked at the Conservatory of Utrecht for 14 years she went on to teach singing technique at the Jazz department of the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2008.
Voice Training/ Presentation
Your speaking voice is the most important asset you have if you wish to make a good first impression. When we have to ‘present’ ourselves, we prepare ourselves well: the content of what we want to say, PowerPoint slides, clothes… everything is taken into account, except how we use our voice. While, actually, our voice is the most direct means of communication that we have, and the one thing that will determine whether people listen to us and whether we get our message across.
I give training to teachers who regularly do whole-class teaching, to people applying for a new job, to employers who are in the middle of a change process, to politicians and to anyone who otherwise needs to get an important message across using their voice.
In the voice training we work on, among others: vocal and speaking techniques, breathing techniques, posture, theater techniques, role patterns and presentation techniques. Click here for more information on the workshops
