Interview

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.

BUSTO ARSIZIO – The country of the constitutional right to happiness has realized the dream of Milena Origgi from Busto: to have a permanent residence permit without expiration in the United States. She is the first woman in Lombardy to have obtained the American “Greencard Genius”, the green card reserved for people with abilities defined as extraordinary. Genius, indeed. Born in 1972, she is a vocal coach. She has been living in Boston for a few years. She created the Inborn Voice method, considered the best in the field of vocal training and awareness by managers, as well as being considered a valuable soft skill by the academic world, including Bocconi and Cattolica Universities in Milan.

The worldwide success of Milena Origgi, founder of the Inborn voice

The voice goes around the world. An extremely powerful tool that breaks down boundaries and overcomes limits: Milena Origgi (in the photo), the vocal coach of managers, is convinced of this and has become a reference point with enormous success with courses organized by Bocconi Alumni. They consider her method a communication soft skill.

When the world was not yet so overwhelmed by the power of the voice, the busty woman with the celestial voice but powerful notes, invented her own method, the Inborn voice. Origgi was a visionary because few, very few were so attentive to this power of which we all suffer even involuntarily the charm. And now that the number of people literally crazy about podcasts is growing and there is even a social network – Clubhouse – that is based on the sound and words we articulate, the power of the voice takes on an even more important role. It’s clear that she’s got it right, this professional who first drove the subjects of Her Majesty the Queen of England so crazy that she opened a studio in London, then flew to the United States, where she now lives, in Boston, and who, before the pandemic physically stopped her, traveled the world spreading the power of the voice.

“Because the voice doesn’t betray, it doesn’t lie. It has a power that goes beyond the rational”. Mylena vocal coach – this is her stage name – who has become a mentor to hundreds of students everywhere, is truly convinced of this. After all, just think how much we use our voices now: to the delight of those who send 10-minute messages to Tommaso Paradiso in Felicità XXX – or the legions of fans of the hitech vocal assistants Alexa and Siri.

The Vocal coach’s message – when the facts are in, she’s right – is that you can get anywhere with your voice, just don’t put limits on it. And the next time you think of the American dream or a world tour, of the beauty of conveying emotions, think of the voice of this woman who believed in herself and in her gift. For all those who are not content and are able to speak, listen and hear themselves.

Today sees the release of an interview of mine that deals with a subject that is very close to my heart, that is what is defined as “personal brand” in today’s jargon. It is titled “Mylena vocal coach, personal brand to be expressed out loud“. In fact, my work has been intimately linked to the idea of “personal brand” for more than 20 years, and it is no coincidence that all my vocal coaching workshops are titled “Identity and Voice”. Even the most prestigious universities have recognized me as the pioneer and leading exponent, capable of connecting the world of voice to the world of business.
