“Adda is the most gifted vocalist and incredible teacher I have studied with! She not only rehabilitated my voice after vocal surgery and guided me every step of the way but taught me lifelong techniques how to use and preserve it for life. I am singing better than ever and highly recommend Adda for any style of music. I sing everything from R&B to Meditation Mantras and her techniques work. She is a superstar and simply the best! Thank you Adda!”

A Life in Voice
Meet Your Voice Coach
A lifetime devoted to the voice – and the person behind it.
Adda discovered her gift for teaching while performing as an opera soloist with the Zurich Opera in 1988. Young students attending her performances asked if she would teach – and she hasn’t stopped since.
Every client is met where they are. There’s no fixed program and no rigid curriculum – Adda diagnoses what each person needs (vocal, physical, emotional) and builds a personalized coaching practice around the work in front of you. She coaches business leaders, public speakers, podcasters, opera singers, recording artists, and people rebuilding their voice after injury, anxiety, or long silence.
“Voice Performance training is a kind of gymnastic of the soul. The work is to help each artist sing, speak, and stand fully in their own truth — with presence, integrity, and purpose.”
— Adda Shur
