"Thea is a treasure. I think she can work well with everyone. She is very empathetic and fully responds to the person she is teaching. I have no singing experience at all, but always have a great desire to sing along out loud. She also taught me some breathing exercises and basics in a very simple way. I had a relatively big private performance and she helped me have a lot of fun with it, thanks again." Clarissa
"That was a fantastic workshop - thank you very much!!! I was led out of everyday life and back to myself in a particularly pleasant way. All the exercises were fun and an intimacy developed very quickly in the group for which you would otherwise need much more time. Now, back in everyday life, some of the exercises still resonate and I am more with myself, with my breath and speak more consciously. I'm happy if you can offer a continuation and time permitting, I'll definitely be there."
Anita Zebrowski, Leipzig
"I found the course very good. Above all, the openness of the other participants took away my shyness and I was able to engage well with all the exercises. Until the seminar, the topics of voice and breath were simply things that were there and were used. It was only during the course that I realised what potential there was in terms of possibilities and special features. Loud, soft, fast, slow, gestures and facial expressions all came into play and there was plenty of room to try things out and see what happens. The seminar made me want to do more!
Luise Alder, Leipzig
"I - and, I am sure I may say, all the other participants - thoroughly enjoyed Thea Schnering's Voice workshop at the Academy for Creativity Education. The lecturer created a pleasant atmosphere in which the participants could quickly get involved with the new experiences and the group as such. The programme included simple relaxation and voice exercises that each individual can practise at home, as well as partner exercises that familiarised the participants with the topic of voice and voice effect. Last but not least, there was also singing and dancing.
It quickly became clear that speaking is a process that requires the whole body. Thea Schnering was convincing with her competence and made people want more with her humorous and appreciative manner. Speaking, as well as the training of language, can be pleasurable, that you just have to experience to get to know it."
Marko Wolf, Munich
“I really enjoy working with Thea! Her warm and friendly welcome made me feel relaxed and even though I am a complete beginner, her professional skills gave me great guidance. I could hear a vast improvement in my voice and understand a lot more about my breathing after just the first lesson. We continue to work together, and I have great fun in each lesson. Thea has skills in breathing, singing, voice training and also life coaching….to name just a few. This combination helps a student to overcome the wide range of issues both physical and psychological, boosting both technique and confidence and she makes it all seem so easy. I highly recommend you try these lessons, you will discover so much about yourself and enjoy a new way of being in the world with your head held high.”
Elisabeth, Berlin
"Ms Schnering is characterised by both her great expertise and her ability to accompany people professionally in their development process and at the same time to support and promote their abilities. Thanks to her sympathetic way of dealing with people, she can easily convey content both theoretically and practically in a playful way. This is also confirmed by the feedback from the participants of the seminars. We appreciate the previous cooperation with Ms Thea Schnering and enjoy working with her very much."
Dr Monika Rummler, Deputy Head of ZEWK TU Berlin
"Ms. Schnering's great expertise as well as her ability to challenge people by showing them playful ways to overcome limits is something the Academy places a lot of emphasis on in the process of developing creative educators. We wouldn't want to miss her in our team of lecturers."
Sabine Lenkeit, Managing Director, Academy for Creative Education Leipzig
"I also had the pleasure of experiencing Thea Schnering as a teacher and coach, which made a lasting impression on me. Not only does she have comprehensive theoretical and practical expertise, she is also able to convey it as if playfully and obviously adapt effortlessly to different pupils or student personalities, even in the quickest of changes. Thea Schnering gives them orientation and an approach for a multifaceted examination of themes, persons and constellations beyond the new lessons or coaching."
Frank Alva Bücheler, theatre director, author, university lecturer, migration expert
"I was lucky enough to have been on tour with Thea for several weeks. During this time she led a warm up for voice and body before the performances.
By the end of our tour, I had a whole new awareness of my voice and speech. With Thea's body exercises, some of which also come from Chigong, I was able to get to a deep breath and my source of strength very quickly and easily. I also found it very special that Thea combined both speech exercises and singing exercises. This opened up completely new possibilities for me to express myself vocally during the performance. I was able to perceive the moods in the scenes better and reproduce them much more finely, so that I was completely surprised by my own new sounds. A very special experience and I am sure that I will continue to do these exercises. They are a treasure I can always fall back on. Thank you dearest Thea!!!!

"I am happy to participate again. The event `Musical Acting` a fortnight ago was very demanding, didactically well prepared. There were good instructions that can be implemented in the practical work with the child."
Teacher, Neubrandenburg
"Through the individual training, Ms Schnering was able to respond to me personally and I was able to learn a lot from the seminar! It was a lot of fun and the contents were very helpful for practice."

The focus was on Thea Schnering as 'Eliza', who soon sang and played her way into the hearts of the audience. Whether she marched up and down as a flower girl, berlining as she did so, or whether she still seemed rather awkward as a fine lady - Eliza's still childlike naivety, which she embodied, won the audience over.Particularly impressive was her mastery of all vocal registers. From the snarling, brash Berlin jargon to the defiant howl to the clear soprano, Thea Schnering convinced her audience.

The demanding role of 'Edith Piaf' was intuitively rendered by Thea Schnering, actress and musical singer from the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. Among others, the well-known chansons "Milord" or "Je ne regrette rien" and "Sous le ciel de Paris" were very well received by the audience, whereby the singer excellently succeeded in balancing the hard, sometimes coarse-sounding passages with the soft, poetic moments, as Piaf handled it: "... mais, vous pleurez, milord, ca je n'aurais jamais cru ...".

Chambermaid Maria (witty: Thea Schnering). Schnering received a special applause when in her "monologue", in which she could not speak a clear word in a feigned fit of laughter, she nevertheless made the text content understandable to the audience. A great solo! Rheinische Zeitung
On stage are enthusiastic actors and perfect musicians. When Thea Schnering sings Tina Turner's "What's Love got to do with it" and skillfully juggles three apples in a lascivious manner, ... the audience goes wild.

Sanni Luis and Thea Schnering are excellent singers who gave The Evergreens something new, something of their own; together with "The Three" from the petrol station, they performed some skilful and snappy tap numbers.
