About VocalDrawings.com
A voice teacher & vocal coach on a mission.
Throughout my career, from voice student to voice teacher, I have seen that the world is full of anatomical drawings that are inaccurate. They might be beautiful, or pedagogically useful, but they are wrong. We, voice experts, use those drawings and basically pass on information that is untrue to the next generation. Well, there are very beautiful anatomically accurate drawings out there, which I would call pieces of art. But they are often very complex, and full of information that might confuse our students, clients and patients. On top of that, they are very expensive, up to hundreds of euros per drawing.
So, in December 2018, I decided to make my own drawings. I know how to hold a pencil, and I know the voice. Well, one can never “know the voice”, but you know what I mean 😉 When I talked about this project to colleagues and showed them some examples, it turned out that they wanted to buy them! I jumped on this opportunity and decided to create a webshop for digital drawings on the voice, so colleagues could use them in their studio, presentations, books, courses, webinars,…
I applied strict criteria. My drawings had to be:
- Easy to understand:
Simplified, in function of clarity. - Anatomically accurate:
Easy & simplified should not mean wrong! The drawings are based on countless CT & MRI scans, combined with the knowledge of experts in the field of voice and anatomy.
Ps: You might recognize my own skull 🙂 - Beautiful & Fun:
Because we can never have too much beauty and fun. - Pedagogically useful:
Their first and most important goal is to inform singers, voice students, clients and patients, and help them learn. - Inclusive:
You’ll find 5 races, male, female and genderless drawings. Because enjoying your voice is for everybody. - Affordable:
You can’t contribute to change, if nobody can afford your product! So in 2019, I decided to go by the concept of “The more you buy, the more you save”. In November 2025, I made the drawings part of The singsing! Sofa Library without raising the subscription fee.

Different Versions
- With & without tags
I personally hate it when there’s too many tags on a drawing. Some people get overwhelmed by too much info, which results in confusion. A drawing without tags makes it possible for you to name what is needed at that time, and leave out the rest. All in purpose of clarity & simplicity. And when you’re (teaching) a fellow geek, you can reach to the version of the drawing with a gazillion tags 🙂 - Tags in Anglicized Latin & Vernacular English
Trachea or windpipe? Sternum or breast bone? Medical language or language that’s easily understood? It’s up to you! Use the drawing with the language you prefer. - With & without arrows
The arrows highlight the movements of certain structures, for example the pelvis that tilts a bit backwards and the larynx that lowers due to tracheal pull during inhalation. But sometimes, you only want to draw attention to 1 particular movement, for example the lowering of the diaphragm, and leave out all the others. - Races & Genders
You’ll find 5 races, male, female and genderless drawings. Because enjoying your voice is for everybody.
Front views are male, side views are female. From the inside, we all look the same, so those drawings are obviously genderless.

More About the Drawings
How did they come to life?
I have experimented with the drawings during teaching, and used the immediate feedback I received from my clients – which they sometimes gave me without realizing – to change the drawings and make them even better.
I call them Vocal Drawings, as they are vocal. They speak for themselves! My goal was to make explanations as unnecessary as possible. The result is that students, clients and patients immediately understand what you mean. Think about the amount of time you’ll save out on.
In the summer of 2019, I have launched 276 drawings on the subjects of respiration, posture, anatomy of the larynx, muscles of the tongue and many more.
Today, in 2025, the world is dramatically different. It wasn’t financially sustainable to keep the webshop up. I have spent a year of my life creating these drawings and I was sad that for the last years, I and the people who have bought the drawings in the first years were the only people using them. So I decided to make them part of The singsing! Sofa Library!
