Many people who approach voice training rely on chance as if they were gambling on lottery numbers. Often they do not have any means, sometimes not even an idea, for assessing the teacher in front of them and to whom they will entrust their voice. This is where it is good to explain what are the yardsticks for measuring the skills of a vocal coach. 

The first yardstick is to evaluate his/her voice. And that is where the shoe pinches! In fact, very often I find myself in front of people or other vocal coaches who want to evaluate skills based on how someone sings. Many people are surprised because they can’ t find on YouTube or other similar websites any trace of my “singing” performances as if it was mandatory to show them to be hired. They can’t find any because I have chosen not to show them.

In the past, when the environment of vocal training was still limited to a minority, theoretical study occupied only a small part of the education necessary to become a teacher, in fact, the practical aspect was the most important one. Things seem to have turned upside down today. I have to say that they seem to be because in reality very often those who have been trained to be a teacher have no idea of the practical aspect of what they have learned. Many people hide behind specialist terms, often used inappropriately, just to give themselves credit or show that they have theoretical knowledge. The thing that is dangerous for me is that those who have obtained some degree by studying books totally lack practical experience or worse still have unacceptable vocal problems yet to be addressed.

Recently a big publisher asked me to prepare a manual to be included to one of its monthly magazines to share my experience with readers.

The manual is ready and waiting for publication I decided to make it available as an e-Book also to readers of my website.

Good reading to everyone and I look forward to your comments!

After a long wait and following the many requests coming from my clients and my collaborators, I finally gave birth to my book which tries to explain in simple words and within everyone’s reach, the philosophy behind my teaching method: Inborn Voice.

With this book, anyone can taste the enormous complexity that sustains the world of the voice, spoken and sung, and how the ability to harness one’s own voice is the only real secret to personal success and happiness in one’s life.

Learning to sing, to speak or to communicate in the right way, without doing any physical or “spiritual” harm, succeeding moreover in making emotions flow from one’s own depth in a natural and spontaneous way, is something extremely difficult and far from the classical or modern vocal teaching, that is, through vocalizations, warbles and the like next to a piano.

I am confident that you will like the book and help you to glimpse your Inbon Voice!

The flagship, the Way of the Voice, has been included in the bibliography of the course of Communication Techniques of the Catholic University of the Holy Heart, which makes me even more proud of all the efforts I make every day to carry out, as a pioneer, this vocal revolution.

If you want to read it, you can order it directly from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or even the iBook Store on your Apple device.

This morning, standard time has finally come into effect here on the east coast of the United States.

Each week I am lucky enough to travel the world and enter the homes of my students who are scattered all over the world. But this means having an agenda that must take into account the various time zones and the different adjustments that occur behind the scenes. I will talk to you about the different holidays that each country observes in a next post!

I prefer customers from Hawaii. Partly because of the colors of the rooms and voices, and partly because they never change the time. They always use the Hawaiian time so with them I just have to be careful of the time of the country where I am, that is, in which of the six time zones in the United States or in which of the eleven time zones in Europe I am.

The Hawaiian Islands are in the time zone minus ten hours compared to Greenwich Mean Time, which is the zero time zone.

Then I have all the customers scattered around the U.S. ranging from the time zone of the West Coast, for example Los Angeles, minus eight to that of the East Coast, like Boston and New York, minus five.

Obviously there are two americas and I’m lucky enough to work with Argentines and Brazilians, other countries with very involving colors and rhythms, which are in the time zone minus three.

Then we move on to Europe, with England in time zone zero and the bulk of my Italian, French, Swiss and German customers in time zone plus one.

Then we move on to another hot country, Saudi Arabia, which stands at more than three, and Oman, which stands at more than four.

Russia is a complicated country, the Moscow area stands at more than three, while the rest of the country reaches even more than twelve. Luckily my customers are all mainly Muscovites.

My most demanding customers, those who are in “modern” China, essentially Hong Kong and Beijing, follow closely. Like the Hawaiian islands, they never change their legal/solar time and they stay in the time zone plus eight. I’ve also had customers in Japan, but generally they prefer to come here to the United States for Full Immersions.

Last, but not least, my favourite customers arrive, the New Zealanders who are in their time zone plus twelve and who are the first, or last, to change daylight saving time and solar time.

In practice, my typical workday takes place in 32 hours of work, scattered around the world, in three different languages!

The time changes for this year are also over. It starts again on March 11th when Canada will be the first to adopt daylight saving time and will end on April 1st with New Zealand.
