I have to say, I never viewed myself as much of a singer. I never thought that I had any vocal talent at all. Or that I could develop singing ability which I never thought I had. But then, I took a chance, and reached out to Beautiful Voices owned and operated by Irina Fields. As soon as I met Irina and started to take vocal lessons with her. Everything about how I viewed singing, my voice, and vocal development changed following that first vocal session. I soon realized that singing required much more training, time, dedication, and effort to grow and solidify a beautiful singing voice. Regardless, I learned that Irina Fields Beautiful Voices was the one vocal teachers’ company that would assist me in building up and reinforcing all the parts of my voice required to bring out the best of my vocal abilities.
How? Well, it is not done as easily as it may sound. First, was learning what not to do, do, and how to do it correctly. But one thing that I love about taking vocal lessons with Irina is that she does something which is admirable. And what she does is what a lot of other so-called vocal teachers do not do, and that is tell students’ what they need to hear instead of what they want to hear. In my time working with Irina on my voice. Irina tells me what I need to do and how to do it to better my voice and she does not hold back from telling me the truth. I love that factual response because I don’t feel as if I’m getting taken or find myself lacking progressive growth.
Additionally, following Irina’s advice and utilizing her knowledge have allowed me to go a lot further with my voice than I originally thought possible. Truthfully, I thought of myself as the worst possible singer in the world. I did not think that I had any possible vocal or musical talent at all. I could not for the life of me hold a note or carry a tune. Sincerely, I thought of myself as tone-deaf. However, Irina told me the truth. She told me that I was not tone-deaf. I just did not have much practice with music or tuning my ear to hear melodies. I needed more than anything else to first train my ear. After I trained my ear; I would be better able to pick up melodies and tune-in to songs.
Afterwards, I could hear melodies and sing songs. Following Irina’s training and tips as she laid them out truly allowed me to see the potential in my voice and the growth.
Not to mention, Irina also taught me how to project my voice, breathe, and support my voice. In the beginning, I did not know anything about these three things. I did not even realize that I had to take breaths or support my voice. But as I trained with Irina further, I found how to take bigger breaths and to support my voice so I would not put pressure on my throat or vocal chords. The more pressure placed on the vocal chords or improper singing causes vocal nodules on the vocal chords which are bad for your voice. Irina taught me that I needed to prevent this type of end by supporting correctly from my abdomen, breathing well, and projecting my voice. And I eventually learned to do all three parts among others. Including, but not limited to learning how to pronounce words when singing them and how to make the proper mouth positions when singing certain notes. Two things which were unknown to me before. The mouth of a singer must maintain specific positions when singing specific notes and those notes must be sung in a certain fashion. You do not sing how you speak. Imagine that! It always sounded the same to me. But that is one reason I took vocal lessons; to learn the difference and the right way to sing.
But that is not all. Irina also has voice building lessons on separate days which allowed me to develop my voice even further. I was introduced to a whole way of harmonizing with various students' with differing voice types.
Truly, if you're looking for a knowledgeable and skilled vocal teacher and to develop a beautiful singing voice. Then Irina Fields Beautiful Voices is definitely the school for you.
