How to find the right path of balance in singing?
Hi everyone, I present myself, I am Matteo, graduating in speech therapy, always passionate about voice and singing.
I would like to share with you some of what I am discovering in recent months.
I always thought that the best result in singing could only be obtained with the maximum balance, and honestly I am convinced of it. But how can you reach or at least tend to balance?
During the years of study, the approach to control, understanding and managing the voice has always been a driving lighthouse from which not to be able to ignore to find the "right" road.
However, although I paid the utmost attention to checking breath, support, support, projection and everything else, I realized that that equilibrium so sought, sometimes in one way, sometimes in another.
I slammed and unchanging against the wall of frustration, because my rational side has always thought that the problem was the "too little study" .
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that studying does not serve, on the contrary, I think it is the basis of achieving the freer voice. However, what has not led me to anything was the study intended as maximum control and attention to every technical aspect to maniacality.
I spent years in this stasis, until one day my life took me, gave me a good flag in the face, and left me there.
Suddenly my "balance" of life has crossed.
And so far it is something that sooner or later it will have happened, for more or less serious situations or problems. Now I don't know how you reacted to the difficulties, but coming to miss the pillars on which my structure was entrusted, the alternatives were or definitively collapse in an endless abyss, or draw on the few and skimpy resources I never have Given too much weight, but that they were the only thing left.
These gradually began to strengthen themselves, to take shape, tending to self -conscious (without the need for counterfeits, Gaudiani speaking) by downloading the weight no longer only on the bearing pylons but on the whole structure. At that moment I didn't give it much weight.
It was simply the now cleared concept that to grow and learn it is necessary to go from suffering and difficulties. From there a few months, however, I would have been lucky enough to meet a person named Albert Hera who in a simple singing lesson brought me back to mind this process, simply applying it to the voice, and triggering a real epiphany in me.
What if the lack of balance was the real means of reaching balance?
Just where I had never looked at, in the destabilization of attention, in momentarily unhingeing my sensory systems, had derail me on a new attentive and learning track, where it was not clear to me how, but the wheel began to turn.
Albert 's help and approval we decided to try to understand something more, and from there my thesis project was born.
What has achieved is the becoming of the last few months and next. If it goes there, I will keep you updated.
A hug Matteo
