We tend to think that singers, being musicians, focus on their musical and vocal abilities, but may miss another, extremely important role.
When a singer receives a new song, whether he wrote it himself or was asked to perform a song written by someone else, he receives a text that needs to be deciphered.
Here are some questions that every singer must ask himself when he receives a text for the first time, long before he breaks into singing:
• “who is the character that is <talking> in the song”?
• “Who is he/she talking to?”
• “What does the character speaking the song actually want, what motivates her?”
And the most important question – “how can I make this song mine?“
These questions are no different from what any actor or actress is supposed to do when they get their hands on any dramatic text.
Acting is a valuable medium to express feelings, stories, and communicate with the audience in a deeper way.
Acting studies can contribute to singers in a variety of ways:
1. Emotional expression: the game embraces the singer’s emotional powers and helps him express his feelings in a more present and courageous way. Through the development of expressiveness, the singer can become more confident and express himself authentically.
2. Communication with the audience: acting is an effective tool for communication, and a singer who knows how to use the toolbox of the acting world can deepen the connection with the audience. This can include movement on stage, facial expressions, relaxed body language and use of space to create a unique viewing experience.
3. Building a character: The variety of texts that singers deal with are different and change. Acting studies may help the singers when they come to deepen and characterize the different characters that “speak” the songs, and especially to connect with them. The ability to put yourself in the character’s shoes, understand their background and by connecting you will magnetize the audience to you.
4. Voice control: games to help singers control their voice more perfectly. The practice of physical and emotional expression can contribute to focus on controlling the voice and sound.
5. Creativity: by using tools from the world of acting you can express yourself better and develop your creativity, and stimulate new ideas that will lead to unique and spectacular performances.
At the end of the day, acting studies can expand any singer’s toolbox, helping them gain additional skills and bring their performance to a higher level.
I came to Maya for performance coaching for a music concert I was doing. I've had coaching before and with mixed results. Maya is by far the most creative and talented coach I've ever worked with. She brought out emotions in me I didn't know I had, and was able to help me reach something I couldn't achieve on my own. She was compassionate, patient, and knew the exact right buttons to push to get the best out of me. When showtime came, I completely trusted her and felt so much more confident because of it.

I came to Maya for performance coaching for a music concert I was doing. I've had coaching before and with mixed results. Maya is by far the most creative and talented coach I've ever worked with. She brought out emotions in me I didn't know I had, and was able to help me reach something I couldn't achieve on my own. She was compassionate, patient, and knew the exact right buttons to push to get the best out of me. When showtime came, I completely trusted her and felt so much more confident because of it.
I came to Maya with a "camera shyness" that prevented me from shooting marketing videos for my business. Maya's warmth, care, and professionalism shine through even on Zoom, and I already felt the improvement after the first online session.
Maya addresses sensitive points and provides exercises to help overcome them. The process is not yet complete, but after several sessions, I already feel more liberated and express myself with much more confidence in front of the camera. I highly recommend her!
