I’m Eric, the Franco-Swedish bass-baritone and voice specialist.
On this channel, I help singers who feel stuck—tight, unstable, or inconsistent—understand and fix their voice using opera-level technique and clear, analytical explanations. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the right things but nothing quite works, I break down what’s actually going on in your voice—and how to change it!
I’m an opera-trained bass-baritone from the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg, Stockholm Opera Studio, Vadstena Academy, Nadia et Lili Boulanger Conservatory in Paris—and before that, a Master of Science in Engineering. I’ve performed internationally in opera and concert, including roles like Schaunard (La bohème), Count Almaviva (Le Nordea di Figaro), and Peter (Hänsel und Gretel). I’ve also sung Pilatus in Bach’s Johannespassion, and the bass soloist in Rossini’s Petite messe solennelle.
Opera-trained. Engineer-minded. Focused on helping you understand your voice.

Can you actually “place” your voice?
Singers are constantly told to put the sound “forward,” “in the mask,” or “behind the eyes.”
But the sound isn’t literally travelling into your face.
So why do these sensations feel so real—and can they actually help you sing better?
I’ve been thinking about this a lot as a bass-baritone, and in my new video I break down what singers are actually feeling, and what vocal placement has to do with resonance, vowels and acoustics.

Ever wondered what actually separates a bass-baritone from a baritone?
It's not just about singing lower notes. In this video, I explore what really distinguishes these voice types—and why even experienced voice teachers sometimes disagree.

This summer I’ll be singing Doctor Grenvil in "La Traviata" with Skånska Operan — looking forward to bringing this beautiful opera to life.

Most singers are told to “support”…
but very few are shown what that actually means.
In this video, I break it down as something practical — not force, but balance.
If support has ever felt vague or frustrating, this should clarify it.

What’s the most confusing advice you’ve heard about support?

Most singers try to fix tension by relaxing the throat.
But what if the throat isn’t the problem?
When your voice feels tight, it’s often your body trying to stabilize something that isn’t coordinated yet.
I just posted a video breaking this down—
and showing what actually makes singing feel easier.
👉 Have you ever felt this kind of tension when singing?
Watch my new video on how to fix that:
