“Olympic” Vocal Games… What does it take to produce an “Olympic” caliber, vocalist…? The “Olympic” team.
“We are the champions my friend”. Freddie Mercury of the band “Queen” once sung.
Where does it begin, for example, to become an Olympic champion in figure skating?
It begins from the moment when the parents take their five or six year old to the skating ring. And then they notice that the child really likes to glide and is not afraid to fall.
Next step they make, they search for a reputable figure skating club, and then, they bring their offspring and hand him or her to the capable hands of experienced trainer. Then it takes eight to ten years of very hard work for the skater, his/her multiple trainers, his/her parents and finally, a quite substantial amount of money to bring the skater first to the nationals, then to the world championship and then finally, to the Olympic games.
For those who remember Tara Lipinski, would remember that she has won the Olympic title at the age of 14.
It is a known fact that her and her mother actually had to separate from her father and move to another city to train with the coach who was in charge of the Olympic team, ie, of those who had the potential to become Olympic champions.
That formula applies practically for every competitive field.But, evidently, for some reason, does not apply to the Artists. When they approach me from other cities, countries, continents, for some reason, they think they could become professional singers or repair their voices to resume their interrupted by inadequate singing careers, via communicating with me either by phone, by Skype or by magic DVD or pill..?
They don’t realize that to power the voice and project it in its aimed destination, takes an integration and synergy between the mental, physical and vocal state.
From my part, it takes a special skill to connect to the artist’s anatomy and physiology, almost by an umbilical cord and through the application of my own anatomy and physiology, and by application of enormous amount of energy of my own.
Then, and only then, I am able to discover and uncover a true spirit/voice from the Artist and shape it in “Olympic” quality product, as now the Artist will sound unique and distinct, not to mention, will sound in accordance with the standards of the professional singing. Now we have a vocal product, and now, the rest of the “movers and shakers” have to take over.
I know of a person in the UK whose assignment is exactly that.He puts around the Artists the successful teams. In fact, he is the one who discovered and made Adele the six Grammy recipient.
Unfortunately, Adele has experienced some serious vocal problems five months prior to that.That suggests that one of the components of the successful team was not met.
This is the riddle for my readers...
Which component do you think Adele has been missing, if any?
