Hello!

You are at the Voice and Vocal Page

This is the subject that always interested me.

I sang all my life I could remember. But from 7 to 25 singing was the mostly dificult doing for me. Something was wrong, thus about 14 I began to look for cause of such troubles. The troubles were: too low or too harsh voice; unpleasant and troublesome feelings in my body & throat, small time I could sing without harm... So I had much different problems.

I sang in a group but things were the same. And one day I left University and entered the Ekaterinburg Musical College by the name of P. I. Tchaikovsky at the jazz vocal department. I hoped they'll give me all the abilities authomatically. But as they gave - I couldn't get and became ill sometimes more than even earlier. After finishing I needed a long rest.

I began to find out the Schools - methods of the voice healing and development. And as always in similar situations, only others' methods was not enough to change things much. I began learn my nature and study my habits. Began to look deeper inside me. It was not easy but after first changes the World changed so much for me. It was the reason to go on. And I found out that real changing of the voice needs some more than only voice exercises.

Some times ago I found out that there is so much information in and around me. This is not my own information, of course, but it needs to write it and system it or I'll forget it. Some things I could find in different books, some not. Things halped me and my pupils and it was at least a one reason to begin to write.

Maybe I'm trying to write the very book I needed in my childhood and youth: with not so specific language but including all possible information on subject, and even information seemes not connected with it on the face of it. With reasonings, arguable questions and tales...

Maybe, somebody would be interested in such work. So, I would be glad to recieve Your letters.
