Arnaud Ménard is a French singer, musician, vocal coach, and researcher recognized for his expertise in rock and metal singing, particularly in vocal distortions and extreme vocal effects. His work bridges artistic performance, pedagogy into a science-based approach.

He began his career as a performing musician and session singer, working across rock, hard rock, and metal. Through performance, he developed a deep, embodied understanding of vocal sound production across a wide range of timbres — from clear, melodic singing to highly saturated and aggressive effects. This practical experience shapes his teaching philosophy: the voice is not merely an instrument, but a living phenomenon.

As a vocal coach, Arnaud helps singers expand their expressive range while maintaining vocal health and longevity. His approach combines rigorous technical knowledge with artistic sensitivity, honoring each singer’s individuality and aesthetic goals. He views vocal technique not as a fixed set of rules, but as a complex coordination of mechanisms that must be explored, refined, and embodied through guided practice.
