Welcome
I’m Vanessa Tuna, a passionate singer, vocal coach, and holistic voice therapist with over 20 years of experience in the music industry.
Early in my career, I seized the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches and voice therapists in the world, which led me to become a certified vocal coach alongside my artistic journey. Since 2022, I’ve also been a holistic voice therapist.
Combining my extensive experience as an artist in the music business, I’ve developed my own unique approach to vocal coaching. I believe in a holistic method that focuses not only on mastering the technical aspects of singing but also on connecting deeply with one’s personality.
I’m thrilled that you’ve found your way here, and I look forward to the possibility of working with you soon.
What does Vocal Coaching include?
Vocal coaching, also known as singing lessons, focuses on training and enhancing your vocal abilities. The key elements include learning techniques, working on breath control, expression, and expanding your vocal range.
Vocal Coaching
The coaching is tailored to you and your unique starting point, aiming to fully develop and strengthen your vocal potential. One of the main goals is to create a healthy balance between your head and chest voice, allowing you to sing effortlessly across your entire range—from your lowest to your highest notes—without any audible breaks or instability. With this foundation, we can easily and voice-friendly work on techniques like belting (singing powerful notes) as needed.
Depending on your goals, needs, and personal learning stage, the coaching may cover the following areas: vocal training/register transitions (chest, head, mix voice, falsetto), learning to sing powerful notes (belting/mix-belt), proper breathing, vocal care (how to maintain your instrument), intonation (how to hit the notes accurately), bodywork (presence and foundational work), relaxation/mental training, performance training, interpretation/phrasing (how to sing a song), ear training (a crucial component for good intonation), rhythm studies, improvisation, style development, music theory, building a repertoire, support with songwriting (developing your own songs), preparation for studio recordings or live performances, and much more.
Both individual and group coaching sessions are available (online or in-person in Stuttgart), and no prior experience is necessary.
Stress-Free Through Your Voice
It is scientifically proven that singing has a positive effect on our well-being and health. This coaching is designed to focus on precisely that. The aim is to help you achieve greater balance and inner harmony through your voice and singing. While enhancing your vocal abilities, this coaching places special emphasis on using singing as a way to create balance in your daily life. Elements of holistic voice therapy are also integrated into the sessions.
The goal is for you to incorporate what you learn into your everyday routine, creating a source of strength or a healthy outlet for dealing with stressful situations. "Stress-Free Through Your Voice" is the perfect coaching for you if you love to sing, want to reduce stress, and are seeking more balance in your life.
The coaching takes place in one-on-one sessions (online or in-person in Stuttgart) and no prior experience is needed.
Vocal Coaching for Entrepreneurs
Successful speakers and entrepreneurs like Tony Robbins and Andreas Baulig have set an example. They have taken singing lessons. Singing can also help you improve your vocal expressiveness, which positively affects your overall presence and charisma. You will learn to sharpen your body awareness and express your voice with your entire body. Singing also has a positive effect on your creativity and communication skills, allowing you to add more variation and tone to your speech. Give it a try and see for yourself.
The coaching takes place in 1:1 sessions (online or in person in Stuttgart - no prior experience needed).

My name is Vanessa Tuna, and I have spent many successful years working as an artist in the music industry. I have appeared on numerous radio stations, live and TV shows, including SWR, ZDF, Radio Energy, Porsche Arena, and Dubai Fashion Shows. I’ve sung background vocals for soul legend Chaka Khan, Chris de Burgh, and Bobby Kimball (lead singer of the band TOTO).
About me
At the age of 15, I won the "Best European Musicians Contest" at the Los Angeles Music Academy. My own songs were played on over 160 US radios, earning me 8 chart placements in the independent US radio charts. My track "The Voice," which I wrote for the Whitney Houston tribute show "One Moment in Time," even achieved a number 1 spot on the NBC Radio Charts. The show was performed more than 40 times at the Friedrichsbau Variete Stuttgart, with the Stuttgarter Zeitung headlining: "This voice captures Whitney Houston." Read the article.
Early in my musical career, I also trained as a vocal coach. At the Jazz & Rock Schule in Freiburg, I entered the main study program directly, majoring in vocals. At the Live Act Akademie in Stuttgart, I received my graduation certificate in 2010 in the fields of voice, stage performance, and pedagogy with a focus on coaching. Since 2022, I have also been a holistic voice therapist, which allows me to offer a more comprehensive and holistic approach to my coaching.

Rahel Früh
*"Hello, I’m Manuela from Waiblingen. I’ve been singing songs of various genres for 5 years. I had issues with transitioning between chest and head voice. While browsing the internet, I came across Vanessa’s site. Wow, what a powerhouse! After just the first meeting, she recommended exercises, and the progress came quickly. We had so much fun together. Vanessa is a fantastic coach with extreme talent. We then moved on to battle techniques. What a release! Not just vocal technique—emotionally, old behavioral patterns that had been ingrained in my shoulders for years broke apart. I let the notes fly without hesitation. Bam, here I am, look at me!!!"
