I highly recommend Lorraine. She assisted in the French pronunciation with Mark Vincent and Marina Prior for their hit album "Together" for Sony Records. She was a great communicator, and very effective in getting the right results. And her easy and enthusiastic demeanour proved to be very effective for Mark. Thank you Lorraine!

Than you Lorraine! You are such a great teacher. I showed your demonstration to a few of my students today and it made such a big difference. You have such a clear way of explaining. You are our French expert celebrity!!!!

... it is ideal to have coaching from a vocalist and choral director ... Her help has given me the confidence to stand in front of my choir fully prepared for the next rehearsal.

FRENCH DICTION FOR SINGERS IN MELBOURNE & AUSTRALIA
I love music and I love French and therefore I love French Diction. I'm a French Canadian Vocal Pedagogue. My passion is helping singers and choral conductors learn how to pronounce French lyrics with accuracy and precision. Because I'm also a singing teacher and have a Master's Degree in Vocal Pedagogy, I can help you learn the intricacies of pronouncing the (crazy!) French vowels and consonants.
Whether you need help to perfect your French pronunciation for an upcoming recital, or whether you need help to teach your choir how to pronounce the French words of a song, or two, or three, just send me an email. I teach locally in Melbourne, Australia and am also available on Zoom/Skype. I can also send you your personalised recording of the text, either in a regular reading style or spoken following the rhythm of the music notes. French diction for singers is easy once you grasp a few of the basic rules.
Here are two examples of what I can send you:
Sample rhythmic reading: Pavane - Fauré
Sample regular reading: Les berceaux - Fauré
