THE VOICE UNBOUND℠ STORY
... and integrating that information into my own vocal work...
It took
sifting through the
limited and disjointed information
that IS available on hyper-mobility...
IT FEELS SO GOOD
to SING and SPEAK with the
EASE,
CONFIDENCE
and
CAPACITY
that I longed for in the past.
I spent
over 30 YEARS,
vast sums of MONEY, countless TEARS
and immense ENERGY
diligently APPLYING TECHNIQUE,
attitude adjusting,
and redoubling my efforts
with
master voice teachers ...
MONICA SCHOBER
The
CAREER STALLING
VOCAL COMPROMISE
after every lesson, master class, rehearsal or performance
was
SOUL
CRUSHING.
...IN SEARCH OF
the CONSISTENT
STABILITY, STAMINA and VOCAL QUALITY
I need to perform at the level
I dreamed of and now know is mine to command.
(I was even told
that my ego was the barrier to the voice I knew was mine to enjoy and share!)
It became clear
that
HOW I AM DESIGNED
and
TRADITIONAL VOCAL TECHNIQUES
are
OUT OF ALIGNMENT
with each other.
In a culture where
the teacher is the unquestioned expert,
I had to find the
COURAGE TO SEARCH
"OUTSIDE THE BOX"
to explore my experience through
other modalities.
When I brought up
hyper-mobility
as a possible factor
in my vocal struggles,
I was met with
blank stares.
In my research I could find
NOTHING
for
VOICE TEACHERS ABOUT HYPERMOBILITY
and
HOW IT AFFECTS VOCAL PRODUCTION.
I began to notice
how MANY VOCALISTS
have similar issues to mine.
I watched them STRUGGLE THROUGH
master-classes,
behind podiums
and on stages
with similar symptoms
of
DISFUNCTION
and DISCOMFORT.
I discovered
MY BODY IS HYPERMOBILE.
IT WAS TIME TO GET TO THE SOURCE OF
what is clearly
A
WIDESPREAD PROBLEM
among people who use their voices to tell their story,
to sing their song,
and to make their point.
As I watched and listened, I could feel my body mirroring what was going on in theirs.
I could feel the places where disfunction was happening
and
I could feel their frustration and hopelessness.
I could hear and feel what was possible and I couldn't do anything about it.
I'd been living with my own despair.
I couldn't live with theirs.
The result
is our work together at
