Abstract:

Inborn Voice, developed by Milena Origgi, can be defined as a contemporary vocal pedagogy that views vocal training not merely as technical correction, but as an integrated practice aimed at effectively expressing one’s emotions and identity. [1][2] In its public descriptions, the method is presented as a long-standing approach developed in Italy more than thirty years ago and applied in contexts ranging from vocal coaching to corporate communication and personal development. [1][2] Within the broader landscape of traditional vocal science, this positioning allows Inborn Voice to be interpreted as a holistic method that aligns physiological phonation with somatic awareness, laryngeal proprioception, glottal efficiency, and socially meaningful vocal behavior.[1][2]

Anziché concepire lo sviluppo vocale come l’acquisizione di modelli sonori imposti dall’esterno, il metodo pone l’accento sull’eliminazione delle abitudini controproducenti che interferiscono con l’espressività personale.[2] Tale orientamento lo avvicina concettualmente alle tradizioni pedagogiche consolidate che privilegiano la facilità di fonazione, l’economia respiratoria, l’equilibrio della risonanza e la coordinazione tra corpo, affettività e intenzione nella produzione vocale.[1][2] Per i contesti professionali, la caratterizzazione accademica più appropriata non è quindi quella secondo cui Inborn Voice rifiuta la scienza vocale, ma quella secondo cui propone una pedagogia somatica incentrata sulla voce, in cui la comunicazione autentica scaturisce da una biomeccanica efficiente e da un’espressione di sé emotivamente coerente.[1][2]

The most common question we ask ourselves when faced with so many beautiful moments in life is “what present?” At first it is easy to come up with a good gift idea for a woman or man, perhaps for an anniversary or Valentine’s Day, but when it comes to one’s children, a brother or sister, or mom and dad, as time goes by things become more difficult because everything seems superfluous or unnecessary.

It is also true that the most welcome gifts are the unexpected ones, so there is not even a need for a special occasion, it is enough to have a good reason. Whenever we notice that someone close to us is having some difficulty communicating their emotions to us or to others, whether it is a parent unable to say “I love you,” a friend struggling to get a promotion at work, or a sibling having difficulty finding the right girlfriend, the solution might just be to give the gift of a Voice Assessment session.

Ahead of the Italian Song Festival, San Remo, I always get interviewed by some reporter looking for some tips for their readers. This time it is the turn of Oggi, which presents 5 tips to keep your voice from aging.

Here is an excerpt; you can read the entire article in Oggi Number 5, Feb. 2, 2023.

Taking care of the voice is not just for singers. Vocal cords suffer from the wear and tear of time, cold, dry environments and irritating foods. To keep them in shape, follow 5 tips inspired by the routines of artists and vocal coaches.

No to icy or hot drinks. Let’s dispel the myth of hot milk with honey: milk increases mucus production and heat dilates the tissues of the vocal cords. Cold, on the other hand, makes them contract too much. Either way, the voice suffers. Hydrating the vocal cords is essential, explains vocal coach Milena Origgi: “Drinking water goes down the esophagus and does not touch the vocal cords, which are in the larynx. But at least two liters of water a day hydrates them from the inside.” 

Little “singers’ herb.” Sore throat lozenges made from erismus, the so-called “singers’ herb,” act as an anesthetic: reducing pain, they give the perception of speaking or singing better, but they lead to straining the voice. No alcohol (and no smoking). Alcohol dehydrates the vocal cords, affects their tone and, by producing a brief vasodilation, gives the il- lusion of having a warm apparatus. If one “warms” the voice by drinking, after a few minutes of speaking or singing there will already be a need to clear the voice.
