The German mezzo-soprano and voice teacher, Judith Kamphues, studied stage and concert singing and music education at the Musikhochschule Lübeck (Diploma in singing pedagogy) and the Universität der Künste Berlin (Diploma with distinction in opera and concert singing, singing pedagogy. Performing Arts: 1998-2004).
Since 1996, Judith Kamphues has been training in the areas of presence, appearance and dealing with one's own voice. The qualified concert singer and singing teacher uses her experience from the theatre, opera and Berliner Philharmoniker and concert activities profitably on the subject of empowerment and personal development.
As a lecturer at the Universität der Künste in Berlin, Judith Kamphues was responsible for the voice training of the Staats- und Domchor Berlin from 2010 to 2018 with sparkling energy. She prepared the boys for the musical accompaniment of state acts, large festive services and appearances on TV and radio and gave them the necessary nonchalance to deal with these demanding tasks. In October 2018 she switched to the department of music education, where she is responsible as a singing teacher for prospective school musicians. Since September 2021, she has also had a teaching position at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden. From August 2013 to July 2016, she taught the “Vokalhelden”, the children’s and youth choir at the Berliner Philharmoniker, as a voice coach and choir director in the education department of the Berliner Philharmoniker. She has been working as a language trainer at the ARD/ZDF Medien-Akademie since 2016.
In 2017 Judith Kamphues founded the women's ensemble Ultrasound Berlin. In this ensemble it is - in addition to building and training the voices - about the relaxed and spontaneous handling of improvisation and vocal performance.
Judith Kamphues is a sought-after coach for solo productions, speech recordings and before exams. In a teaching concept she developed herself, she uses images that combine everyday life and fantasy. With intelligence and fun, your pupils, students, clients and seminar participants achieve impressive experiences and results. Most of a person's impact is dependent on their voice and body language. In her lessons, it is particularly important to her to use this resource, to control it more consciously and to deal more convincingly with other people through her own instrument, the voice, and to hold her own in front of an audience. |
