A Voice Apart

The world had just heard about the well-known artist,   Sam Smith   who, unfortunately, had to interrupt his Australian tour and reschedule his Japan and UK tours. It must be very disheartening when the singer, especially at his heights, has to interrupt his performances and publicly admit that there is something wrong with his vocal anatomy.  The question is: Could the singer prevent such an occurrence? From where I sit, the answer is yes, he could. The Vocal Science ™ technique , which I developed, suggests to use less of the vocal anatomy and more of the subsidiary anatomy which actually produces more efficiency in the human voice with less, (or not at all), strain on the vocal cords and vocal box in general. The vocal cords could handle only so much pressure of the sound. Therefore, the main objective is to remove the pressure, and thus the pain and strain from the vocal cords, larynx and throat, and then to appoint the facial set of muscles to play

The Non-Surgicalvoice repair course is a very serious endeavor for both the voice sufferer and the voice repair specialist. Needless to say, the voice repair clients come usually upset, frustrated and in a majority of cases, somewhat depressed.   Quite a few of them literally lost they’re speaking and singing careers, or just simply their jobs.   So they do have a very good reason to be upset, and yes, depressed. However, obviously those emotions are not helping the cause. So I have to be a very good psychologist, and in some cases, even a psychiatrist to be able to attend to the vocally troubled person. Obviously, the concept of my methodology is the same for everybody. However, the way I am solving their voice and vocal issues is almost every time different. I compare it with a headache. You can get rid of the headache applying different means, i.e., medical drugs, herbal remedies, deep tissue manipulation massage, or what have you.

“I’m not a reborn Christian, I am a reborn human,” said Karen Gundling, my recent voice repair client from Ottawa, Ontario.  Like many of my other clients, Karen lived with her voice disorder for almost two decades.  She had seen many medical professionals, alternative doctors, and nevertheless, speech therapists. To all of them, she had been complaining about the pain in her throat, her neck and her shoulder, evidently associated with that.  Practically all of them told her that it is “all in her head”.  Only one of the specialists was able to diagnose her with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) , but like everybody else, he was not able to administrate any kind of treatment which would help Karen to get rid of her nagging pain while speaking.  Needless to say, she was devastated and practically was ready to give up on life.  She is a very vibrant and boisterous person who loves to talk a lot. Some of the so-called medical professionals ordered her to keep silent fo

Lately I attract more and more voice repair clients who have problems with speech and not necessarily with singing. Some of them have been suffering for two or even three decades with diagnoses like muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), spasmodic dysphonia, vocal cords burned with acid reflux and many other voice issues . None of them were able to get any meaningful help from medical doctors or even specialists and let alone from speech therapists. Some of my clients have seen numerous speech therapists who offered them to blow into a kazoo, blow into a straw to a glass of water, and yawn with an excessive sigh ! According to those speech therapists the muscles on their patients’ necks and their vocal cords for that matter will get relaxed and that’s how all of their vocal issues will be solved … ??? In my humble opinion all of those manipulations are completely obsolete, useless, and counter-productive. By following the above, nothing meaningful can be produce
