“Susanne Dewald possesses the rare talent of combining fiery passion with exceptional expertise as an educator, achieving extraordinary results with her students. Her straightforward and refreshing demeanor instantly creates an inspiring atmosphere where students feel supported and confident.”

“I completed a professional presentation coaching session with Susanne Dewald using the ‘Vocates Method’ to specifically enhance my presentation skills. With remarkable professionalism, empathy, and precision, she helped me appear even more confident and persuasive in front of an audience. I was particularly impressed by her extensive knowledge and many years of experience, which are evident in every situation. Her expertise is not only theoretical but also grounded in solid practical experience. 5/5 stars – I can wholeheartedly recommend Susanne Dewald!”

“I will never forget my first encounter with Susanne, the moment I opened the door. Her positive energy, her smile, her motivation, and her dedicated encouragement have been a constant presence in my journey. That has not changed to this day.

Throughout my entire studies—from my Bachelor’s degree to my successful Master’s graduation with unanimous top marks after eight years of vocal studies, through the challenges of the pandemic and even vocal crises—there was not a single day when I didn’t feel fully supported by her. It’s rare to meet someone as dedicated as Susanne. On my often challenging path, I always felt well cared for, encouraged, and above all, highly motivated by her. She always gave her best, faced every storm and headwind with me, and believed in me. She recognized my talent because her unique ability to bring out the best in everyone is truly remarkable and commendable.

Without Susanne’s support, I wouldn’t be where I am professionally today. Thanks to her, I was able to fulfill my dream of becoming a singer. She always believed in me, gave me strength and hope, constantly motivated me, and ensured that I never lost sight of my goal.”

20 Years of Collaboration
A True Educator

“I would like to share my thoughts about my colleague, Susanne Dewald, with whom I’ve had the privilege of working for the past 20 years. She is not only an exceptional teacher who always prioritizes the well-being and development of her students but also a passionate educator who tirelessly dedicates herself to fostering learning and the personal growth of each individual. Her remarkable ability to identify the potential in her students and nurture it with precision has always been a great source of inspiration for me.

What truly sets Susanne apart is not just her professional expertise but her profound humanity. She meets everyone with warmth and understanding, and her kind words have always offered comfort and confidence to both colleagues and students. Over the years, I have learned so much from her, and I am certain that her passion and dedication will continue to shine brightly wherever she goes.”

“Susanne Dewald has been a tremendous support in my career as a singer. Her open-hearted approach created a very trusting environment during our coaching sessions. I always felt free to speak openly and that she met me exactly where I was, no matter how stuck I felt. Topics like building self-confidence and discovering personal strengths, in order to showcase them on stage in front of an audience, are just a part of the wonderful focus areas of Susanne’s work.

With her humorous and empathetic approach, she always managed to find solutions for every situation during our sessions. What I particularly appreciate is that Susanne is also a trained musician herself, which allows her to deeply understand and relate to many situations in coaching. It’s been such a pleasure working with her.”

Ms. Dewald is a positive and enthusiastic teacher who passionately helps her students reach their full potential on stage. In our sessions, we discussed specific challenges I was facing and explored various solutions together.

What I particularly appreciated was that Ms. Dewald organized a concert for her students, providing an opportunity to apply the skills learned during coaching in a real performance setting.

“Working with Susanne Dewald has been incredibly supportive in my vocal training. In particular, skills like trusting my own abilities and developing a confident stage presence—areas often overlooked or avoided in artistic education—were able to grow step by step through her mental coaching, leading to lasting improvements. In my opinion, every musician should have access to such an opportunity, so that alongside their technical skills, they can fully embrace their potential with joy and confidence in performance situations.”

“Susanne is an incredibly empathetic person. Her positive nature immediately creates a sense of comfort, and the working environment is always safe and trusting. With her expertise and empathy, she once managed to completely turn my energy and mood around. On a day when I was ready to cancel a concert, she helped me find the strength to go on stage and perform freely and with great joy! I will never forget that and can wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Susanne with complete confidence.”

“I attended PEP sessions with Susanne while studying at the Hochschule für Musik. Working with her truly helped me gain a better understanding of myself as an artist, eventually overcoming my stage fright and learning to enjoy every performance. Susanne is an incredibly empathetic teacher and a true expert in her field.

Her practice exudes warmth and a sense of freedom. I believe that anyone involved in stage work, in any capacity, should try PEP with Susanne.”

“PEP® is incredibly helpful for musicians dealing with stage fright. Susanne conducts the course with a warm heart and great passion. Through her, I learned how to relax both body and mind before a performance—and it truly works. I use PEP® before every performance. I highly recommend it to all musicians!”

Stage presence is much more than simply stepping onto a stage. It embodies the expression of a deeply rooted inner attitude and approach to art and life, uniquely shaping each individual. Susanne Dewald placed great emphasis on helping students discover and develop their own authentic stage presence. Through focused guidance and innovative methods, she provided the tools to enhance and refine their stage presence.

I am deeply grateful to Susanne Dewald; her charisma and positive energy have strengthened my self-confidence and helped me find my own path.

“I have participated in several PEP sessions with Susanne Dewald and learned so much from her work each time. She meets you at eye level and always listens with dedication and understanding to your thoughts and challenges. She creates a safe space, and from the very beginning, you can sense her genuine desire to help.

I have always admired her commitment to her work and personally experienced her willingness to step in outside of regular hours to assist me when I needed it. She has taught me so much, and I carry the valuable lessons from the PEP sessions with me to this day.”

“I highly recommend Ms. Dewald. I used to struggle with stage fright before I discovered PEP®. Since learning about PEP®, I’ve been able to manage my stage fright much more effectively before performances. Many thanks to Ms. Dewald!”

“PEP® with Susanne Dewald was always a safe and open space for me, where I could share anything. Through the sessions, filled with exercises and positive thoughts, I felt very comfortable. When I’m in a positive state of mind, studying becomes a thousand times easier!”
