Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. - Steve Jobs
ORIGINALITY
Each person has a uniquely personal story. Training with Voce Vera means to train the body and mind to make one’s vocalized message authentic, clear, understandable, credible and, above all, as consistent as possible with his or her own inner truth.
HOLISM
The voice’s potential resides in the internal muscles of the vocal instrument, in the physical body, the mind, and in the emotional and spiritual parts of each individual. This method facilitates awareness of all these aspects, and teaches students to achieve an overall balance.
INNER GROWTH
Voce Vera’s teaching methods are not only designed to transmit concepts, but to stimulate curiosity and invite a person to discover, to undertake a journey of listening and understanding. Each journey moves at its own pace and each person follows its own path toward discovering how to address personal needs and how to free the voice for the best possible communication and performance.
FORMATIVE AREAS
Vocalizing is a holistic process that starts within a person before his or her voice is heard.
Voce Vera will use different disciplines which have been divided into three areas of training. Each area is made up of individual modules which can be combined together to create a personalized study plan.
An integral part of the method requires that the student - before and after each exercise - listen to, understand, and interpret any strange or unusual physical sensations. The combination of listening to oneself and interacting in a meaningful way with the teacher results in a dynamic training program, flexible and focused.
