Everything

About Me

It is one of my great joys in life to assist singers, choirs and public speakers to find freedom in their own unique voice, with technique that supports and delivers.

I have been training voices across all genres, choirs of all genres and public speakers, from the corporative world to radio and actors, for the past 25 years.

I believe that the right knowledge, with the combination of insight and practical application, can make any voice shine. This allows artists to be courageous in expressivity, while finding the joy of their own voice.

Words from my students

"Gerrida is so much more than just a vocal coach - she is a teacher, a mentor, a "psychologist" and a gifted musician herself. With her exceptional knowledge, dedication and support, she fine-tuned my vocal technique to a level I never dreamed of, helping me grow in my confidence and skill as a performing artist. She truly has a passion for her art and creates a safe and nurturing environment for all her students. Being her student has encouraged me to take risks and not limit myself as a performer. I am truly grateful to be at the hand of such an inspiring teacher!"

"It has been an amazing journey! Gerrida has opened my eyes to the true potential of a voice and what proper resonance feels like. The results of our work over the past eight months were strikingly evident during my final vocal recording session two weeks ago. Halfway through the session, the session engineer asked, "Have you been doing work?" By the end, he was asking for Gerrida's contact information to recommend her to other musicians he works with."

"When I started with Gerrida I was a very shy 16 year old girl that struggled to sing infront of her own family. Once I started with her she introduced me to a world I had no idea existed or that I thought I could exist in. She has opened doors for me that has built me not just as a performer but into the confident person I am today."

Under her instruction, I transitioned from constant vocal strain to producing effortless, free-flowing sound across any genre. Her expertise and intuitive teaching style make her a truly rare find."

"For me, Gerrida is, not just a vocal coach. She is also a mentor and someone who I fervently look up to. My voice has improved by miles and I have learnt so much for her.

My musical journey as an artist and creative has been enriched. A lesson from Gerrida is encompassing and holistic in approach. Her knowledge, patience and discipline is just as inspiring as it is formative."

"Gerrida has been my vocal coach for the past 15 years. In this time, she has been so more than just a brilliant vocal coach—she has served as a true mentor.

From my very first lesson, she has always created a safe space where I felt seen, heard, and understood. Gerrida helped me discover not just the technical potential of my voice, but the beauty and power of its uniqueness. Every session combined expert vocal training with wisdom, encouragement, and practical life advice that helped me grow as an artist and as a person.

She also makes an effort to enrich herself with the latest research on vocal training to make her students reach their best potential.

Gerrida gently challenged me to move past my fears and insecurities, always reminding me that my authentic voice was my greatest strength. Thanks to her, I've learned to embrace who I am, both on stage and off, and to sing with confidence and heart.

If you’re looking for someone who sees and nurtures the whole person not just the performer I highly recommend Gerrida."

"Gerrida is one of the most transformative coaches around because she gets what it means to be a singer and creative striving for performance excellence.

She takes her time to understand where you are and meets you at your level.

Her brilliance is not in the way she coaches, but also reminds you of the artistry you possess. Anytime, anywhere, she gets it and gets you there!

Transformative, is an understatement. "
