Testimonials:
“I was always surprised and delighted by Frédérik’s talent.”
“Frédérik was an outstanding voice and language coach on my series MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM and was beloved by cast and crew. His vast knowledge and experience were invaluable in bringing out the best work from our cast, whom are mostly young actors. Motherland relies heavily on deep vocal power and mastering a complicated new language that was created for the show, which Frédérik brought to life, seemingly with ease. I was always surprised and delighted by Frédérik’s talent, kindness and inventiveness in bringing my vision to life.”

“Frédérik’s training has been a big help in terms of confidence when I am in the studio making records.”
“Frédérik’s coached me back to confidence after a serious vocal injury and, in the process, took me leaps and bound beyond where I thought possible with my singing ability. His training has been a crucial factor in the success of multiple international tours allowing me to sing at my best for up to 2 hours every night after travelling all day. I always feel a shift in his lessons and have tons of breakthroughs as I really get to the bottom of opening up my own voice to sing with ease in my higher register where I used to strain. Frédérik’s training has also been a big help in terms of confidence when I am in the studio making records.
