Interview

BUSTO ARSIZIO – A medal as a city recognition for having brought the name of Busto Arsizio in the world: yesterday morning the mayor Emanuele Antonelli gave it to Milena Origgi, the vocal coach who in recent months has obtained the “green card genius” in the United States for her merits as an entrepreneur and for her innovative educational and cultural method Inborn Voice.

Today I was a guest on Rai Radio2’s “Awakening” program, Ovunqu6, a playful and irreverent program to start the day with information and lightness.

Below you can find my full interview and its transcript, if you want to listen to the entire program you can find it on RaiPlay.

This time it is the monthly magazine Amica that gives us a deeper look at Milena Origgi’s work. The article opens with this sentence: Everyone has their own voice, unique, personal and unrepeatable: the Inborn Voice is the essential tool to express emotions and be even more INCISIVE AND CHARMING in public and in relationships. But to keep it young and full of energy, you have to take care of it day after day.

Milena was a six year old girl who was singing in the choir of the church in Busto Arsizio (Italy) when an organist heard her voice and said: “This is something fantastic”. I know, it is thought of many, but that pretty and sunny little girl had a touch of genius that made her climb the steps of the musical ladder in one breath and speak directly with God. She could sing like a nightingale. Or teach others to do so. So much so that after a few years of lessons to friends and a first experience as a missionary dictated by her great faith in God, she chose not to have children and to “adopt” all the voices of the world. Milena Origgi created the InbornVoice method (“the voice that was born with you”, editor’s note), which is the salvation of every lost and desperate soul that cannot find its voice, hesitates and sings out of tune. It earned her the American residence permit for geniuses (Einstein had it too). And it applies to everyone: the business leader or the singer. “There is no wrong voice if anything, it’s the context. I help harmonize the voice with the soul.”

She calls me from Boston, where she has lived and worked for 12 years, proudly claiming her Italians origins, and even if she doesn’t say it clearly, she listens to my voice.

Today I “inaugurated” my new studio in Los Angeles. An inauguration made a little ‘quietly’ because of the particular period in which we are living, but despite everything someone has whistled it and Shout Out Los Angeles wanted to interview me.
