FOR
EVERYONE
The voice is our greatest tool of communication
and our most powerful means of personal expression.
Whether in speaking or singing, our voices project
our identities- they are, as it were, intimate,
"sound portraits" of who we are. The power
of the voice is such that voices either attract
people to us or rebel them-and they do so often
on unconscious levels. Having an unattractive voice
is a great disability, while having a rich, powerful
and expressive voice will bring great benefits to
every area of your life.
Years
of research and experimentation resulted in Gary
Catona's voice building system which, he says, is
a systematic method of exercising the MUSCLES of
the vocal mechanism.
According
to Gary, the total focus of voice training should
be with the "meticulous building" of the
voice muscles to ensure maximum strength and coordination
of the voice - breath support (which is, in realty,
vocal chord support), power, resonance, range, control
and endurance will follow naturally. Additional
exercises, such as breathing exercises, from his
perspective, is a waste of time and, in fact, could
be harmful.
The
illustrious history of western singing began over
500 years ago in Italy.
Names like Caccini, Tosi, Porpora, Mancini, Garcia,
Vergine and Melocchi are some of the legendary voice
teachers that created and passed on the great Italian
singing traditions, traditions that still guide
and inspire singers today.
This
tradition has its most powerful representative today
in the Italian-American "maestro" , Gary
Catona. His revolutionary Voice Building System
has gained worldwide acclaim for its unprecedented
results in building voices of all types and styles.
Singers as diverse as Andrea Bocelli, Sade, Seal
and Liza Minnelli have found that building their
voices resulted in significantly greater power,
resonance, range, control and endurance.
Not
only does Gary's voice building system represent
the culmination of all previous voice teaching techniques,
but it also goes beyond them in significant ways.
As an example, Gary's work has had a powerful impact
upon techniques for developing the speaking voice,
and is also a badly needed breakthrough in voice
rehabilitation. Outside of enhanced resonance, power
and endurance in the normal speaking voice, vocal
disorders such as hoarseness, nasality, vocal chord
paralysis and spasmodic dysphonia ( strangulated
voice ) have also been effectively treated by voice
building; and remarkably enough, Andrea Bocelli
uses the same method to build his operatic voice--
all students, in fact, use the same process -- one
uniform voice building method does it all--and the
results are always fast and dramatic!
Gary's
work has become news worthy worldwide mostly through
numerous articles in newspapers, magazines and popular
television shows such as Entertainment
Tonight, and also through the work of
his many celebrity students.
