My journey to Awakened Singing
The Field of Voice was born from a personal vocal journey where the concept of "letting go" was often misunderstood. For many, including myself, "letting go" in singing can imply passivity. However, I discovered a profound difference through the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, embracing "detaching from the mind" and "Awakened Doing." Applying these concepts to Bel Canto singing completely transformed my voice and vocal abilities, leading to the creation of this institute. This unique understanding is at the heart of our mission.
State of Presence
While traditional vocal coaching often prioritizes technique and range, The Field of Voice places significant emphasis on developing a healthy connection with your own instrument. We believe this inner connection is a prerequisite for achieving a truly "open throat" experience, beneficial for both the singer and the audience. Our approach integrates authentic Bel Canto technique, mental techniques to detach from the mind, and awareness of breath-space and inner stillness. This holistic method unites technique, awareness, and artistic freedom into one integrated way of singing, leading to Awakened Singing.
Who can benefit from our practice?
Our unique practice is designed to benefit anyone passionate about singing. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand your voice, an experienced vocalist seeking to deepen your connection with your instrument, or someone striving for artistic freedom and authentic expression, you will find value here. The principles of "detaching from the mind" and "Awakened Doing" are universally applicable, making this approach beneficial for singers of all levels and backgrounds. We welcome all who wish to awaken their voice.
