"Christine is a terrific German diction coach. She is a native German speaker and also a great singer which means she can help singers more than just give them the correct pronunciation. She is also very knowledgeable in German literature. When I had coaching sections with her, she always discussed how the poem were set and what kind of perspective a singer should have. Her help to me is way beyond a German coach can give." Ya-Li Lee, Seattle, WA More testimonials see below.

"I came to Christine for German diction help for the role I was singing. We dove right in and she helped me take apart each phrase and really understand both the intention and the pronunciation. In a very short time I came away with a few great tools to better communicate the language. I highly recommend Christine!"

with YouTube? Do you want to copy other singers' mistakes?
with an American coach? Is she/he a native speaker without an accent?
with a diction CD? Good start, but no feedback.
Train with GVAI in individual sessions and get personal feedback from natives you can really trust.
