Prior to her career in 2021, she trained at the École Richard Cross and obtained a certification in vocal training for spoken and sung voice in contemporary and amplified music.
Her pedagogy is based on sensation and allows for an awareness of vocal technique with the sole objective of achieving comfort, physical freedom, and self-confidence.
She has participated in various educational programs and offers workshops both in companies (Éloquentia, Amundi, Squair Law, Les Cafés Joyeux, Les Entretiens de Royaumont…) and in individual sessions in a soundproof studio.
“In 2023, she founded her company ‘La Voix Éclaire’ (The Bright Voice) and trained at the Complete Vocal Institute in Copenhagen, founded by Cathrine Sadolin, to become a certified teacher of Complete Vocal Technique.
The voice reveals who we are, the voice inspires, the voice illuminates
Who is coaching for ?
Hélène Hébrard’s vocal pedagogy is aimed at both amateurs and professionals who wish to learn how to place their voice (spoken or sung) and improve their vocal technique, whether in classical or contemporary amplified music.
The Bright Voice
Nowadays, it becomes difficult to pause, listen to oneself, appreciate oneself, and feel our emotions because everything must be done in a hurry. Performance leads to stress and even burnout, while studies show the benefits of mindfulness on concentration. The seminars of La Voix Éclaire allow individuals to connect with themselves by experimenting with various aspects of the voice in a playful context.

Workshop Procedure
SHALL WE SING?
In a soundproof studio or a sufficiently large space, using digital accompaniment, one to three songs are selected before the session, in consultation with the participants, to be sung together during the workshop. This is not a choir (as the songs are not worked on by vocal range) but a vocal ensemble that performs popular hits from past to present in unison.
This workshop allows participants to discover a different aspect of themselves, creating connections within a team and showcasing their musical personality. It fosters a shared dynamic and positive energy.

Testimonials
Singing Workshop at “Café Joyeux”
“It has now been a few months that Anna has been following your sessions. Anna is very enthusiastic, and I find that she has already made significant progress. I notice it especially in the way she interacts with adults and other children. Anna was very closed off, and now I find her much more comfortable in her communication. She finds the lessons ‘fun,’ and you have found the key to helping her work on her weaknesses in communication and expression.”

“A fantastic experience and a true therapy! Hélène relies on tools that help you develop your voice, your breathing, and your ear, but also your body awareness, self-confidence, ability to express yourself comfortably in public, ability to improvise, and to play a role, etc.”
Géraldine
“I loved singing; Hélène guided me in rediscovering everything that lies at its core—in the roots of the body, in the mindset, in emotion, and sincerity… Hélène is an attentive, creative, caring, and radiant teacher; with her, I opened up to a new and exhilarating range of expressions, allowing me to now sing with increased and uninhibited joy.”

“Beyond the vulnerability, singing is truly a sharing of souls, and this connection is something Hélène has so brilliantly and naturally created. Without even speaking, Hélène knows where and how to tap into the deeply buried resources that allow for complete expression through singing.”
Laurent
“I wanted to improve my verbal and body language communication in a professional setting, as well as my public speaking skills. Through the exploration of emotional expression, voice work, and improvisation, I was able to quickly apply the new skills I acquired. In fact, I secured the position I had long been aspiring to. Hélène is a caring and attentive teacher who made me feel comfortable while gently encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone.”
