Eric Vetro is a renowned vocal coach who has worked with stars like Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Angelina Jolie, and Timothée Chalamet. He’s known for helping singers and actors refine their vocal abilities, prepare for roles, and improve their technique. For instance, Vetro helped Grande develop an operatic tone for her role in “Wicked,” guided Jolie as she learned to sing like Maria Callas for the biopic “Maria,” and trained Chalamet to replicate Bob Dylan’s voice for “A Complete Unknown.” In an interview with Reuters, Vetro shared his coaching approach and introduced his online singing course through BBC Maestro. Vetro customizes his methods to fit each client’s needs, whether it’s enhancing vocal skills or preserving vocal health. For actors like Jolie, learning opera without prior experience is a complex process. Vetro started with simple exercises and gradually introduced advanced techniques over several months. He focuses on highlighting what makes each performer’s voice unique, especially for roles based on real musicians. His BBC Maestro course offers practical advice and tips, covering vocal techniques, lifestyle habits, and vocal care, making it an excellent resource for aspiring singers and performers.
