Claudia Karnos' Coaching for convincing performance competence is a process-oriented system based on individual drama and vocal trainings that I developed and have continued to develop throughout my many years of experience as as vocal and drama teacher.
Of particular interest are the real-life requirements of stage performances, and individual charisma. The focal point of every collaboration is developing a common goal, as well as the concrete personalities of the participants.
Step by step we will train and develop the skills required for a convincing theater, singing, or career-oriented performance. All this is based on mutual respect and through the use of current and relevant texts, plays, and lyrics.
Furthermore I am also engaged in priming qualified young talent. This is a challenge I have been, and still am, happily taking on as a direct result of my qualifications and experiences in different European countries. I will develop "tailor-made" solutions in your preferred language whilst privileging human and professional qualities. I seek out direct contact, the basis of which constitutes to the mutual trust between teacher and student.

Your voice creates the mood.

- Step 1 analysis of your elocation
- Step 2 training to employ the voice, articulation, and dynamics
In almost 40% of all cases, the sound of our voice is the deciding factor how our attractivenes is assessed by an audience. When on the phone the likelihood for such an assessment is increased to 85% of all cases! And all this happens intuitively within the first 7 seconds.
Is the voice an expression of personality? The word itself implies this: "person" likely stems from the latin "personare" which can be translated to "to sound through".
When we speak our voice allows us to sound-through more than we could with words alone. In some cases the sound of a voice can make us completely forget the content of what's being said.
As the poet Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880) alias George Eliot said:
"Voices. I believe they permeate us more than other things."
Two-thirds of all humans breathe incorrectly. Are you one of them?

- Step 1 analysis of your breathing technique
- Step 2 training diaphragmatic low breathing ideal for speaking and singing
The quality of respiration has a direct influence on the mind, body, and overall (vocal) health as well as the development of your vocal potential.
The road to a sympathetic voice always also leads through the breath.
Impress with posture? It works!

- Step 1 What am I expressing with my posture?
- Step 2 How can I learn convincing body language?
The content of your presentation makes up only roughly 7% of the effect on your audience. More important are nuances in your voice. But with 55%, your body language - mainly posture - is pivotal.
The posture of our body betrays our (mental) state. The relation between the inner and outer posture are manifestly held:
We stand firmly with both feet on the ground, represent standpoints, show spine, and bow or duck when we subordinate ourselves.
The other way around, the principle of interaction from within and without: With posture alone we are able to influence how we feel – and what we can achieve.
