A Statement from Gary on the Legacy of Whitney Houston

“I am eternally grateful for the opportunity that I had to train the immortal Whitney Houston, one of the truly great singers in American history.  When teaching her, I was always astonished how quickly her voice grew in beauty, power, and ability – a testimony to her brilliant gifts. Always bear in mind that singing – because of its reliance on vocal muscles – is a kind of sport and a singer a kind of athlete. And how does Whitney rate in this respect? In addition to possessing a voice of uncommon loveliness and feeling, she also stands out as one of the greatest ‘vocal athletes’ of all time – a singer who has set new standards of excellence in pop singing and an inspiration to all those who may want to follow in her footsteps.” - February 12, 2012

Testimonials

Seal
The Australian, 2009


"It's like having a personal trainer at the gym. Gary has a very specific set of exercises designed to stress the muscles that support the vocal cords without stressing the cords themselves. As in the gym, where if you lift heavy weights you will undoubtedly be sore, when you do recover your muscles will be stronger. It's the same principle."


Andrea Bocelli
La Repubblica, 2000


"When one has a career it's always necessary to give the best of ourselves, and to improve. I have been studying with an Italian-American teacher, Gary Catona, a specialist in an old method of developing the laryngeal musculature that influences the vocal cords. Already, I feel that my voice is changing and is becoming bigger, stronger."


Larry Carlton
Jazz Times, 1989


"I go for voice building four days a week. It's not speech therapy, it's voice therapy, and there's only one guy in town who does it. His techniques actually build up the vocal cord - for speakers, for singers. His name is Gary Catona, and he's the only person who has actually cured spastic dysphonia, which is where the voice completely shuts down. Gary has built my voice muscles up to where those guys can really talk. My throat doctor ran a little camera down my throat, so we could see how my vocal chords had improved. And the one that's working is like... Popeye. It's built up so beautifully."


Jack Klugman
Los Angeles Times, 1998


"Without him, I would have no voice. When everybody gave up on me, he said, 'I can give you a voice.' The fact that I'm able to do a play--for three hours, I never shut my mouth--is a miracle."


Shirley MacLaine

"Gary's Voice Building System is a miracle to me. Gary's technique opens the throat and the result is a singing and speaking voice with astonishing power, range, resonance, and endurance."


Babyface

"Gary's system works and when something works, you should tell people about it."
