Voice · Breath · Presence

From Opera Stage to Boardroom

Hi, I’m Ben Jankowitsch.

My full name is Benedikt Jankowitsch, but most people call me Ben.

I spent more than 7 years performing with leading opera and concert ensembles based in Vienna: Philharmonia Chor Wien, Wiener Volksoper, Wiener Kammerchor, and Wiener Singakademie.

Over the years, my work as a performer has taken me to national and international stages, including the Salzburg Festival, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, and the Grand Théâtre de Genève.

On those stages, I learned how to prepare for high-pressure moments, stay grounded under pressure, and use breath and voice as reliable tools for performance.

In opera, if your breath fails, your voice follows. If your body tightens, your presence changes. The stakes are immediate. There is no second take.

Over time, I realized that the same principles apply far beyond the stage. In boardrooms, investor pitches, leadership meetings, and media appearances, people face moments where their voice, breath, body and presence directly affect how their message is received.

As an opera singer turned executive voice coach, I now help founders, executives, rising leaders and high-potential professionals develop the voice, breath and presence they need to communicate with calm authority under pressure.
