People say that THEY DON'T MAKE SINGERS LIKE THEY USED TO . . .
. . . BUT I DO!
FREEDOM to Express Yourself Through Your Voice FOR LIFE.
You want to take care of your voice and nurture your talent.
You don't want to be one of those singers you hear about who has a career of only about 5 years before his voice starts to break down, or the one who had been riding on her natural ability for so many years until she hits her late 30's and things started to go haywire.
You want a technique you can count on for your whole singing life.
You've had enough of the vague imagery, the vocal exercises that lead you nowhere, pushing your voice into reluctant submission. You're tired of just winging it and hoping that all goes well. It's just too stressful! You're tired of being blamed or blaming yourself. You need answers. You need help. And, you need it NOW!
You want the key to open the door to your vocal treasures.
You want to master the vocal technique that gives you the skills to sing your truth with ease for your whole singing life, and you know you need the right guidance and support to achieve that desire. You know that it is not a race, but you also know that the tortoise beat the hare. You can demonstrate patience, but you must get on the straight and narrow way as soon as possible. You have plenty of time if you don't waste time.
You need a voice teacher who can lead you step-by-step through the process.
I am the voice teacher you can respect and trust who can lead you step-by-step through the process to truly learn to sing. I will meet you where you are and give you the guidance and support you need to fulfill your dreams. You have your dream for a reason. You have your talent for a reason. You were put on this earth to fulfill and express yourself, not to hide your light under a bushel. I'll believe in you even when you aren't seeing it for yourself in a given moment. I'll encourage you to shine your light brightly and help you become the highest version of yourself.
I help dedicated singers fulfill their desire to sing like the great singers, one beautiful note at a time.
There's plenty of time if you don't waste time.
Don't delay!
“The life so short, the craft so long to learn.”

Does this sound like you?
You still aren't sure? Below are answers to some common questions:
What is the technique of the great singers anyway?
I teach the true Bel Canto technique developed by the Spanish tenor Manuel Garcia (the father). In the early 19th-century, Garcia developed and taught his Garcia method to renowned singers of the day, including his three children, Manuel Garcia II, Maria Malibran and Pauline Viardot. This treasured technique of beautiful singing has been passed down from singer to singer for generations. As with many great traditions, much has been lost, watered-down, misunderstood, dramatized and embellished over the last 200 years. Especially in today's modern world of pop culture, it seems that the culture of art, truth and beauty is lost, shoved under the rug or discarded as "old-fashioned." Fortunately, there are the rare few keeping the torch of their tradition burning bright. I am grateful to be one of those rare few who is here to pass the incredible Bel Canto technique and tradition on to you. It is my great joy and privilege to lead you step-by-step through this most magical and fulfilling process.
Why me?
I am Diana Jacklin, and it is my great joy and passion to model and teach dedicated singers the art of singing and help devoted artists clear obstacles that are interfering with their success so they can fulfill their deepest desires and carve out the career of their dreams. I'm all about expanding their world through mastery of vocal technique and success mindset.
After years of collecting, studying and assimilating treasured knowledge of singing, as well as spirituality, metaphysics, psychology and personal development, and after teaching at least 20,000 voice lessons, I am here to transform your voice and career. I teach a true Bel Canto technique as passed on to me from two great singers with a direct line to Manuel Garcia (the father), and I offer success coaching to singers who desire to eliminate self-doubt, financial stress, fear of memory failure, a sense of limited opportunities, lack of support and lack of success from their careers. Your dreams matter, and I am here to give you the support you need to fulfill them.
Are you ready to Make an Impact?
My students experience massive leaps in self-confidence in their singing and artistry as well as an increase in their vocal range and freedom of vocal expression.
I give them the tools to map out every note.
They receive the support and guidance they need to release their true sound and build confidence in their own, individual sound.
I build their voice from the ground up. I teach them to sing from a source of power rather than force so that their singing-experience becomes like riding a magic carpet.
Do you want to get started on this magical process?
“If I cannot fly, let me sing.”
ARE YOU READY TO LEARN TO SING LIKE THE GREAT SINGERS? If this is your desire, please contact me.
I welcome all inquiries from the Student to the Professional, including exchange students studying in Vienna, gap-year students for both pre-college and post-graduate studies and preparatory studies for both college and graduate vocal programs.
Inquiries from Amateurs who want to experience the joys of music and the benefits of singing are also welcome. Parents seeking high quality music education for their child of any age are also encouraged to inquire.
I teach private lessons in my studio in Vienna, Austria and in Boston, Massachusetts USA. SKYPE lessons, paired with lessons in person, are also possible during the times that we are not in the same vicinity.
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
What Students Are Saying:
“Thank you for everything! You are such an inspiring woman. I don’t take it for granted that you’re sharing your magic with me.
”
“You are still the best voice teacher I have ever had.
You always said that I would be great at teaching music to children, and that is exactly what I do now!”
“You are a beautiful person and a miraculous teacher! You have taught me more in these past 8 weeks than I’ve learned in years with others. I have grown so confident in my voice, my artistry and myself as a person. Thank you so much!”
“I wouldn’t be where I am in my career without you, Diana. I wouldn’t have been able to persevere without your words in my ear. Your support really went a long way. There are a lot of people who are not supportive in the classical community, so it is easy to second guess yourself, lose confidence and start to feel afraid of putting yourself out there. The most important thing was the foundation of support that you gave me, but because I didn’t realize how rare your support was, I wasn’t prepared for the fact that there are not more Diana’s out there.
You knew me and believed in me. Having a teacher who doesn’t give up on you is so important, more than I can say. When I got to the conservatory, it was all about comparison, but when I was with you, Diana, it wasn’t about comparison at all. We don’t have the same voice, but you wanted me to sing with my voice not with your voice. You helped me discover the best potential in my voice without changing it.
You taught me by example. When I met you, I didn’t know anyone who made a living as a singer, which was my dream, so it was inspiring to meet you. From you, I also learned how to build good relationships and create a supportive environment for my artistic development. Everything you taught me about artistry and being an artist is always with me as I continue developing my singing career.

“I just wanted to write you and just say THANK YOU again for such a wonderful experience in Vienna. I’m so thankful for the short time we had together, both in lessons and exploring the city, and only regret that we only had seven weeks to be there! I definitely feel that the technique you were teaching me is incredibly helpful!”
“(After a summer studying in Vienna) I am back in Hong Kong, and I am about to start my final year at the conservatory. I loved being your student, and I would love to come back to Vienna to have lessons with you again! You gave me so many new concepts, and they are really helpful! Thank you so much! I am learning some of the songs you suggested for me, and I love them. Many thanks!”
“You are the best teacher I have ever had, in any subject.
What this country needs is more Diana Jacklins so that more people can experience the value of the arts. Thank you for all you taught me in my voice lessons and in your vocal institutes.”
“I’m so happy I started taking voice lessons with you. I had a strong feeling you could help me, and you certainly have! Years ago, I took voice lessons, and after 5 lessons, the teacher told me he would not teach me any more because he thought I wasn’t good enough and didn’t work hard enough. It took me 20 years to try again, and I am so glad I did. Thank you for helping me find my voice and giving me the opportunity to learn such wonderful music. It’s something I have always wanted to do.”
“I am very happy about how I sang in my recital! The thing that made me feel even happier was to hear all my friends saying how beautifully I sang and how they loved me. It would have never happened if not for you. You have been an amazing teacher and a mentor at the same time.”
“Thank you for all that you are doing for my daughter. Singing gets her through difficult times and makes her feel so much better. Furthermore, she is developing so much self-confidence and poise, and I just love to see her development.”
“Thank you so much!!!! My son really enjoyed the lesson and really wants to learn to sing with you. You make learning music so interesting and fun, and I know he is excited about working with you in the fall, as I am too!”
“You have been such an important part of my son’s singing career. Thank you for all you have done for him.”
“After I graduated from the conservatory, I tried many teachers in London and Vienna, but I wasn’t satisfied until I started working with you.”
“I don’t know what you do with my child in those lessons! I often drop her off at her lesson when she is feeling tired, moody and upset, but she comes out smiling from ear to ear and the happiest I’ve ever seen her!”
“I can’t believe the progress I have made with you in such a short time. I really had no idea this would be possible. Thank you.”
“Studying with Diana has positively impacted every area of my life.”
“Thank you for bringing joy into my life!”
“ I hope you get the Marian Anderson Award! You deserve it so much for all you do to spread the love and joy of music to young and old alike. I’ve said it before but I’m the luckiest person on the planet to have found you and have you as my voice teacher!!”
“I’m already beginning to experience a lot more power in my voice thanks to our lessons, so I just want to say thank you!
”
A bit of wisdom offered from an experienced singer to young singers:
“I didn’t start at 16 with a great singing teacher. If I had found a teacher like Diana at that age, maybe I would still be making my living in the church, or maybe I would have gone forward with opera and classical singing. Singing and making a career in singing is difficult enough, and if you have bad habits to overcome from bad teaching, it is MORE DIFFICULT. If I had had a teacher like Diana, I don’t know where I would have ended up, but at least I would have been singing correctly and healthily from the start.”
