Even if on television we continue to see press conferences and interviews of people who do not wear protective medical masks, which, let’s recall it, are more a defensive barrier not to infect others than to prevent our contagion, anyone who has worn one will have immediately realized that he or she has problems breathing, talking and, above all, making himself or herself understood.

Among the hundreds of emails I receive daily, lately I receive more and more from people who find it difficult to talk and be understood through a medical or surgical mask. Clearly if you use a gas mask, speech becomes even more complicated. Don’t be fooled by Hollywood movies, fiction is always far from reality.

When I work on the voice of people trying to improve their socio-economic position, I often find myself pointing out things and teaching behaviors that should be far from us as evolved human beings.

If you look carefully at people who have “deserved” and not “got” some kind of personal affirmation in their professional or social life, it will be easy to notice differences with a normal person. Substantial differences are not related to a sophisticated way of using their voice, an elegant dress or a plethora of “followers”. In fact, all these elements can be added, constructed or even purchased. One should observe carefully to note that the differences are not added elements, but removed elements.

Many of my clients, professionals, entrepreneurs, CEOs, but also actors and singers, come to me after attending some kind of vocal training, from diction to acting, from presentation to public speaking, which is a pretext to teach them, or to add, something more.

Mylena Vocal Coach, CEO of Inborn Voice, has decided to help companies in her native land by offering a training fund equal to $25,000 to help companies in Milan and throughout Lombardy affected by the events of recent days.

As local government encourages teleworking, companies will be faced with something new for them, namely how to build, manage and bring success to a new type of “distance” relationship.

Mylena is a vocal Coach specialized in Executive Communication, Corporate Communication Skills and Team Building, who has been working for more than 30 years with the main multinationals that have been facing this kind of corporate revolution since a long time.

The 5 Rules to Deliver an Unforgettable “I Love You”

This morning I woke up excited: today is Valentine’s Day. Whether you celebrate it or not, this date stirs hearts, colors cities red, and fills the air with a shared sense of love. Even if you live love every day, the feeling is amplified when everyone celebrates it together.

Why your voice matters when you say “I love you”

As a vocal coach, I see daily how the tone, pace, and breath behind three simple words can change their meaning entirely. The same phrase can sound flat, nervous, or deeply moving—depending on how you use your voice.

That’s why many people contact me to rehearse that “I love you” or a wedding speech. They want to feel clear, confident, and authentic when it counts.

Almost every day I receive emails, messages and telephone calls from people interested in my work. Some are searching to improve their presentation skills, some are willing to give a boost to their career with some voice training, some are just searching to love their voices once again. But almost every one of them asks me a single question. What is this Inborn Voice I am always talking about?

When it comes to voice training, there are many ways to actually train people’s voices. The most frequent and abused one is “by repetition”. The coach will let you repeat endlessly some exercises with the promise to “improve” your voice in a few sessions. Most of the time your voice will change, that’s for sure. But change is not always an improvement.
