Tilde is a singer, theatre director, theatre teacher and a voice teacher. She is Certified Master Teacher Estill Voice Training.
She studied theatre and singing in the nineties in Holland, but was disappointed with the ‘classical’ approach to the spoken voice and to singing, as she was drawn to jazz, soul-music and physical theatre. It came therefore as a discovery to meet and study with Roy Hart Theatre, and find what she was looking for: “the voice as the muscle of the soul”. Subsequently she taught for a decade in a professional acting school helping actors to free their voices. During this period, she was introduced to the Estill Voice Training and she realised that this method gave her a clear system to work with. The ability to control detailed movements of the vocal mechanism gave her the precise tools she was looking for to further her work on the human voice.
Estill Voice Training, for Tilde, is not a prescriptive method for producing an ‘ideal sound’ but is simply a means of clarifying and making conscious the vocal act, and in so doing, it liberates us. She graduated as an Estill Master Teacher in 2013, and now runs her own singing school, “Siren” in the Netherlands.
