About

Having had an international career as a mezzo-soprano in the USA, Europe, Australia, and Latin America, I have acquired knowledge and experience that I can offer to aspiring singers. It has become a passion of mine to impart these skills to my students and help create the next generation of vocal artists. I welcome all singers who would like to gain a strong technical foundation for any style of singing.

My students won international and national vocal competitions and have been accepted at the prestigious universities and music conservatories.

In addition to running a very successful private voice studio, from 2009-2014 I was also an adjunct professor of voice and diction at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, CA, and in 2016 I worked as a voice instructor for Beginnning, Advanced, and Vocal Performance Class at UC Irvine Vocal Department. I am a proud member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), and the Music Teachers' Association of California (MTAC).

In 2012 I founded a nonprofit public benefit corporation Orange County Ars Vocalis Academy (OCAVA), which had its inaugural Summer Program for singers in Rome, Italy, in 2013. For additional information about this program, please visit www.OCAVA.org.

Please contact me and see how I can help to take your singing to the next level.

    Dubravka (Duba) is a great teacher and very diligent in her efforts to teach foundational vocal technique. I have started this process late in life (I am 70 years old) and have developed many bad habits while singing in a band. Duba is able to focus in on the adjustments I need to make to improve quickly. I get a lot of value out of my 1 hour weekly lesson. I have received several compliments from my band mates as well as strangers in church regarding my improving vocal abilities.

    My goal of singing well was a dream that I hadn’t realized. Instead I concentrated on my profession as an engineer. I love singing but had not connected with a teacher who demanded correct singing technique and language skills. Duba was that teacher.
    She was demanding, literate, and knew European classical music. I really appreciated the demands that she made on my voice tchnique and the classical songs we preformed. Her voice studio allowed me the opportunity to perform with a piano teacher in front of an audience. I really enjoyed those times. I count myself fortunate that I discovered her voice studio and that she accepted me as a student.

    She uses an excellent bel canto style to her vocal teaching. Additionally, she really makes you understand foreign languages and helps you explore inflections that make all the difference. Excellent teacher and artist!

    Dubravka is very thorough in her teaching, she does not miss anything. Shell point out any mistake and help you correct it on the spot, which is exactly what I was looking for in a teacher since my voice needed repair after puberty, but she is much more, she prepares her students for competitions and has years of both professional and teaching experience. Check out her singing and her students singing! I have taken a few lessons from her and my voice has started to improve and sound much better with her direction. She is well worth your time, especially if you are looking to become a professional singer.
