When mistaking breath for energy the voice is either breathy or forced and there is an overuse of muscle to push the air. I cringe when I hear singers say ” you have to suck it in and use the diaphragm muscle to push it out”. As the great guru of voice Dr.Arthur Lessac states: “……voice is not vocalized breath. The only direct use of the breath stream in the speaking or singing voice is to help initiate the vibration of the vocal folds; the role of the breath puff ends as soon as sound begins”.

Singers, actors and speakers beware – the overuse of breath can irritate the vocal folds and create hoarseness! Too much air can prevent vocal fold closure which we need for a pure resonant sound. - THE MYTH OF AIR🎶🎶🎶

Why Technique is Important.

Why do stars like Adele keep losing their voice? The long read: More and more singers are cancelling big shows and turning to surgery to fix their damaged vocal cords. But is the problem actually down to the way they sing?

Solutions for every voice

Barbara Feller has been a voice practitioner in New York City for more than 20 years. Her interest in advancing the study of voice beyond traditional methods led her to explore new approaches to strengthening and freeing the vocal musculature. Revolutionary insights were derived from a new awareness of body dynamics from the explosion of physical fitness consciousness,and from findings of contemporary research in neuroscience.

Working with extraordinary teachers and researchers over the years, Ms. Feller incorporated these ideas with tried and true techniques into a highly effective system for voice transformation. This system, which she calls INTEGRATIVE VOCAL TRAINING, or IVT, enables professional singers, actors,public speakers, and musicians to "de-program" problems, find new pathways to vocal freedom, and reach peak performance with amazing speed and confidence. IVT promises actual change in the moment and is effective on damaged voices and aging voices, across a variety of genres and mediums.

Central to her work is the idea that a performer should be able to navigate with freedom through many vocal styles and vocal qualities. The goal is to get at what is charismatic in the voice of each client by developing its full range of expression. Actors, singers and speakers can then be free to concentrate fully on the exploration of character and the telling of the story -- owning the information and delivering the message-- instead of constantly thinking about voice production. This is the essence of IVT: the techniques lead to unlimited freedom and discovery, and once cued into the body, stay with a performer for life.
