Vocal cords are not forgiving

This is an extract from by ebook you can download for free!

Vocal cords are unique and irreplaceable. It’s very easy to ruin them, and yet when we were born, all of us without exception, we were able to cry at the top of our lungs all day long, for several days in a row. No newborn child is voiceless after crying. You actually learn to use your voice every day, through your ears. It’s enough to get a cold to permanently change your voice, it’s enough to have some earwax in your ears to transform it, it’s enough to live with someone with vocal defects to learn something harmful to the vocal cords. Clearly, even if you take voice training superficially or from an immature teacher, you can develop the same problems.

Have you read the interview with Mylena Vocal Coach in Vogue?

Mylena Vocal Coach is in the April issue of Vogue with an interesting interview explaining how to make your voice charming. In fact, singing is much closer to the word charm, or enchant, than intonating.

Too often we focus on the technical part of singing and leave out the more vital part, the emotions. In fact, the technical part can be learned, more or less, even from the least prepared teacher, while the interpretation is often left to chance.

You can also learn how to sing incorrectly

This is an extract from by ebook you can download for free!

Another great truth of which I am a strong supporter is that the treasure hidden within the human voice, if it is not cared for or if it endures wrong teachings, can be wasted and ruined in a very short time. Few people are aware that you can actually learn something wrong. For example, you can learn wrong how to spell a word, how to perform a calculation and even how to use your voice. There are even fewer people who think, for a single moment, that there can exist also a bad master. When the subject is technical it can be easy to recognize when the master makes a mistake, but with the voice, this can happen when it is too late and he/she has already seriously compromised your voice. That’s why I decided to write a guide and call it “The Art of Keeping a Healthy Voice”.

Video Testimonial from Federico

Here is the video testimony he wanted to release for me, but especially for you, my student Federico. Too often I meet or receive email from young men who remain without voice after singing. Many are self-taught, but the majority come from classes and singing teachers.

The message must be of comfort to you: you can get the voice you had the ability to dream of, if you do things with perseverance, dedication and, of course, the right Vocal Coach!

Avoid following the tide of Voice Training

This is an extract from by ebook you can download for free!

Modern society continues to suffer the decay I mentioned at the beginning, with the multiplier effect of digital communication speed and social panurgism. In fact, if in ancient times the singer’s “managers”, i.e. the people who handled the artists, had to make a living by offering the public “mediocre” artists, exalting them as if they were the best, imagine what could happen today where the media bombards us from all directions.

Which yardstick to use when choosing a Singing Teacher?

This is an extract from by ebook you can download for free!

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.

Intro to the Art of Keeping a Healthy Voice

This is an extract from by ebook you can download for free!

For me, it is important that people can understand and therefore make well-informed choices about who to entrust their voice to. It is also important to know what may be the consequences of incorrect learning. 

Today more than ever I feel the responsibility of doing a little clarification on the world of voice training. The job of a vocal coach is to help people improve their voices, to speak, act or sing. That seems clear to everyone. What is often underestimated is that no result can be achieved if the health of the vocal cords is not preserved intact. In fact, it is impossible to develop a conscious and harmonious voice when the vocal cords have suffered any form of damage or abuse. Let’s take for example the soft and silky hands of a child, capable of giving very delicate caresses. Only when you care for your hands, even after 30 years, they will maintain the same delicacy. If on the other side, the hands are exposed to mistreatment, they will develop a whole series of modifications that will make them rough and calloused: they will always be able to give caresses, but no longer with the same delicacy. Our vocal cords must be absolutely preserved and, fortunately for us, if we know how to use them correctly, they don’t get damaged, they don’t develop nodules and they allow us to grow up to centenarians with an enviable voice.

This is what was 60 years ago a singing lesson!

In the 1960s, the idea of what a singing lesson should be, is exactly what you can see in this gag by Jerry Lewis. A teacher, more or less pompous, entrenches himself behind a piano and pushes the pupil to ruin his voice.

We can really laugh at that still 60 years later, but there are still people who believe that this kind of scene is a real Singing Lesson!
In my career as a Vocal Coach, I met a lot of people who thought they had learned to sing in this type of lesson.
They all realized that they had not learned something a little too late.

If you recognize yourself in this type of lesson and you are aware that you are not getting the results you are looking for, or worse, you have already developed vocal problems (you lose your voice, you have frequent sore throats, you feel choked) it doesn’t fall to you!

Your voice is something delicate and precious, I can help you genuinely improve it!

As of today the videos of Singing Lessons have been displayed 35,850 times on YouTube! Thank you all!
