Your role, your aria, or your song — in French, German, or Russian.
Listen to a native speaker
A native opera singer speaks the text, slowly and clearly, one line at a time.
Train at your own pace
Slow a phrase without changing its pitch, loop the line that will not sit, read the IPA underneath.

Solen Mainguené · Soprano · Oper Leipzig
Built by a singer, for singers.
DictionAid was created by Solen Mainguené, French soprano, Oper Leipzig soloist, and experienced French diction coach.
For years, Solen has helped singer friends prep roles by recording slow, clear voice memos of their texts. She knows the struggle firsthand: learning a role fast, hunting for reliable diction resources, or wishing you had a native speaker to call.
So she thought: why not make that help available to everyone?
Because great diction isn’t just about getting the sounds right. It’s about bringing the text to life, serving the composer’s vision, and making the character truly believable.
And hey — impeccable diction might just be that extra thing that sets you apart in the audition room.
