Communication skills

Here is a little video from my Milano (Italy) Workshop.
You will be able to feel the Christmas atmosphere and see some of beauty of the City!

and here some video testimonial released immediately after the workshop. The video is in Italian with English Captions.

Here is the transcript of the Testimonials, leave a comment here or in the the Video if you have any question:

Inborn Voice gave me energy
I shared the energies of all the people who were here with me.
My voice has changed!
I can hear it, thanks for that!
The way I look at myself has changed:I want to dare, from today I want to dare!
And I thank the flooding spring that really gave me light.
So thank you, thank you, thank you Mylena Vocal Coach!

Inborn Voice has brought back the spring at the source
I feel very fluid, I feel very liquid inside, like the snow that melted, and that it has reached a stream.
At the same time I feel a little crackling heat, but more moderate.
My voice, I hear it’s become the best accessory I’d like to show off now
So a sincere thank you to Mylena Vocal Coach, thanks to the energy of the group because I feel very rich. Like mother earth, thank you!

To all those who seek a solution by copying someone else and I know you’ re a lot of people.
To all who know that there’s something inside them that needs to emerge and they don’t know how to bring it out.
To all those who have swallowed dozens of self-help books, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
You know who you are!
Do this workshop too!
The solution is pretty simple: by removing emotional locks which unfortunately can take years to resolve in another ways, see psychoanalysis alas or fortunately to me.
But let’s just say that Inborn Voice is something, in my opinion, collateral and faster.
You can unleash skills that are buried under tons of dust
This is what I wish you and what I’m feeling.

Each Inborn Voice Workshop is a new piece of my life.
I wish everyone to see this video and share it, and make the most of it.
Try it, they say it costs nothing, and to this day I can confirm that money is only a means: Happiness is more than that!
Thanks Mylena Vocal Coach!

I’m at my third workshop and I can officially say that Inborn Voice never disappoints!
It never disappoints because it really can be that missing spark, that if you want to, can really change your life.
You have to believe it all the time, to work hard on it, stop naming things.
Inborn Voice is like Rock, who throws the grenade only if you are then willing to build out of the rubble and pull yourself up
So I thank Mylena Vocal Coach and today’s classmates, because they’ve given me so much, they helped me to get the confirmation of what is the place in the world.
I can only thank and say that I feel a great joy sharing this journey with these people and I’m addressing whom if, like me at 40, you asked yourself
if all is here..
I say no!
that’s not all!
Come to a workshop and find out yourself because Inborn Voice is something you experience
Rock!
You Rock!

Here is the video made during the Vocal Coaching workshop, Your Voice, Your Identity, held in London. This video is very special because in addition to showing Leicester Square decorated with Christmas markets and some of Harry Potter’s London locations, it includes a two-way interview with Elisa, one of the first to release a video testimony on the Inborn Voice method, now more than 5 years ago. This workshop is the most international of those held this year by Mylena Vocal Coach, because it includes participants from Italy (since the date of Rome was already full), from Paris (since Paris was full).

As always, also at the end of this Workshop some of the participants have chosen to give a hot witness: here they are.

Here is the transcript of the Testimonials:

How important is it to be able to present yourself, a product or an argument in front of an audience? A key importance. The first impression is still the one that will affect all subsequent ones. If you are not able to present your arguments at university, during an exam or an admission speech, if you are unable to present your product correctly to a potential client or your results to your boss, if you are unable to showcase the best of yourself at the first job interview or at a romantic date, a second chance will be very unlikely to be achieved.

Each university course, each job position, and each social relationship requires some personal presentation skills. You can read as many books as you please, take as many courses as you wish, but these three tips which I am about to give you are only available in here and you will soon also discover why.

1) Improve your voice

Today there’ a lot of advertising about public speaking. You can find manuals and courses just about anywhere. Everyone underlines the crucial importance of being able to communicate in public. Have you ever taken a second to analyze the reality of the situation or did you get carried away by the advertising? They are talking about manuals, written in black and white, which claim to teach how to speak in public. They are talking about courses where they pretend to reveal all the major techniques necessary to speak in public. Too good to be true? Indeed, books and courses start by assuming that you already know how to use your voice in the right way, that you are able to express naturalness and credibility. They are castles built on the sand!

If someone is already able to communicate that way, he/she would have no difficulty in speaking or presenting. If they cannot, it is mainly because they are unable to use their voices correctly, they are failing to convey the message correctly. Of course, learning to move, to watch or to build speeches capable of striking the target is useful, but if you can not transmit it with the voice, as well as seeming boring or uninteresting, you will also seem awkward. Not to mention that all these courses and manuals create clones, in other words they do nothing but analyze, codify and repeat the techniques that were effective and natural in some of the greats of the past, such as Steve Jobs. Do you want to become a bad copy of someone else or do you want to give voice to your own personality?

2) Improve your voice

Sometimes you can even find a funny side in manuals or public speaking courses. You are given instructions such as “speak clearly“, ” scan the words“, “keep up the pace“.

In fact, these and other instructions are just part of knowing how to use your own voice. If you have no idea how to do it, these instructions don’t make any sense. Everyone is able to press a red button whenever a red light comes on. Action, reaction. But if you’re told to press the button only when a red light comes on after a blue light is present and only if you hear a buzzer sound too, it gets more complex. The longer you lengthen the sequence of operations to be kept in mind, however simple they may be when singles, we can no longer keep up the pace and we lose control. All of these courses only add elements to your presentation process, completely taking away any possibility of control. That’s why many people would rather die than talk in front of an audience. Yet if you learn to use your own voice, then everything becomes natural. It will become a result of your speaking. In fact, if you speak the right way, transmitting to others your message, your emotions, it is only natural to have a compelling rhythm, take pauses, look at the other people in the eyes. They are all elements of effective communication because you seek some feedback from those who listen. If you see faces that are unconvinced, dispersed or otherwise, you will repeat the concept in another way. All of this will gradually grow, quite naturally, once you start to improve the way you use your voice.

3) Improve your voice

To improve your voice does not mean to make it “more beautiful”, but it means to become its master. You can’t do this by following a karaoke style singing course or learning from those who can’t speak English without bad habits, without strong accents, or to those who have some difficulties in expressing themselves. Those who teach must absolutely be masters of their own voice.

What are the benefits of becoming masters of your own voice? Here I could also write a book, but I will point out the most common ones, those that you can also experience personally or by watching the video testimonials on this website. 

• You will gain more confidence in yourself and gain confidence in the message you want to express. This may not sound like much, but it’s all you need to transform your life from one who will undergo the voice of others to someone who can express his/her ideas.
• You will be more able to communicate in any area of your life: at the university, with friends, at a job interview, at work, in a relationship and even with your children.
• Your stress level will drop, because you will no longer have doubts and uncertainties about the results you will achieve. Only those who use their voice to persuade others of some untrueness maintain a high level of stress, those who communicate their truth, will relax.
• Your entire time management will improve accordingly. You will stop wasting time uselessly by delaying or awaiting to take action. With a confident voice, there is no longer any reason to doubt yourself and your abilities, and you gradually learn to maximize your free time to enjoy your life as a couple, family and leisure.

Learning to use our own voice means to affirm our personality in every situation and make us an active part in our lives, without excuses or unnecessary complaints. Obviously, also in the case of vocal training, we must be careful, not always everything that glitters is gold and only those who begin along the correct path will find themselves able to reach the end.

The Vocal Coach work is always exciting and very often, when a student has succeeded in freeing his/her voice, he/she grow a desire to “help others”.

Here we have a sort of Hamlet dilemma because who doesn’t want to help the other ones? All the good hearted people feel the urge to help others, the only issue is that they don’t know how to do it. Before analyzing how, perhaps it is better to make a digression and try to understand where and why this fresh altruistic drive is born.

When someone chooses to work a bit deeper on his/her voice via the Inborn Voice method and my help, within a few weeks he/she realizes that life, as he/she knew it before, no longer exists. Little by little, one step at a time, he/she finally manages to succeed in accomplishing what seemed impossible: he/she manages to communicate to other people. The conscious use of the voice enables the surfacing of his/her feelings, fears and strengths.

This may not sound like much, but in truth it’s all you need to radically change your life, to start awakening. Often people are not aware of their expressive difficulties, they are convinced that are other people who “do not understands. During their lifetime they have learnt, one experience after another, that it is extremely difficult to establish a collaboration or a lasting relationship between people. Over time, they also learnt to stop searching further. At one point they even stop engaging with other people: some choose to “whine” about everything, others prefer to suffer in silence.

As I have explained in my book, The Way of the Voice, many of the people dissatisfied with their state of affairs become entangled in what I call dream-like disciplines and become part of homogeneous “groups” of people who are persuaded that it is possible to find a “cure”, a solution outside of oneself, by doing or sharing something within a small group. A group is certainly what they are looking for, but instead of building one suitable for their own life realization, they enter a pre-packaged one. Other people, perhaps luckier, realize that the solution must be sought inside us, in our depth, and try to learn a discipline that may help them with their introspection. 

Although not everyone knows it, my job as Vocal Coach is a bit like that. The human voice, the real one, our Inborn Voice, is coming from the innermost depths of our soul. When I manage to make their voice bloom again, people discover what they were looking for had always been under their noses, namely “the mouth”, the voice. And their life changes. It changes because where before they were rejected, now they find an affirmation. Where before a quarrel originated, now serenity is built. Where doors were closed, now they can see an already open door in plain sight. Depending on the determination and the person, the results can be more or less striking, as you can watch from the video testimonials that I have on my site.

I am extremely happy when someone, as a result of my work, stops believing that there are no longer hopes of improving their working, sentimental or social lives. And I’m even happier when they decide to share their “finding” among people, actually helping other individuals.

This is where confusion sometimes arises. For whatever reason, someone who has discovered the benefits of my work, a new and effective voice, chooses not to share my work with others. He/She hides me as a precious thing, he/she doesn’t want people to know what made their lives blossom. Yet still they seek from me advices on how they can help others by themselves. The answer I always give them is simple. What were the consequences of choosing to hide their voice, their feelings and their expectations? Just suffering and unsatisfactory life. By suppressing the joy of shouting to the world “it is possible to improve one’s working life”, “it is possible to have satisfactory romantic relationships” or “it is possible to improve one’s social life”, nothing good will be achieved. The easiest way to share with other people your achievements is what I have already taught them, thanks to my work as a vocal coach. Just tell the others “Listen, I was like you before, then I discovered my voice thanks to Mylena Vocal Coach and my life is now the one you are looking at”. It will then be the others to decide if and how to contact me to start a journey together. The idea of wanting to help them personally is something worthwhile, but very few people ask me how to become a vocal coach for the Inborn Voice method.

This happens not only as a result of my work, but in all disciplines that somehow move the balance of things and cause a person to feel the desire to shout to the world that, after so much suffering, they have finally found a solution. The mistake is not desiring to help others actively, in the first person, but to think that all others have the same problem or that our solution is universal. Each of my clients sees only a small number of facets of my work as a Vocal Coach, the ones that were most useful to them. They can’t understand that in reality my work is more complex than assigning some exercises. Every exercise was been built around their issues. 100 different clients will have 100 different exercises. When they find this out, very few people are willing to ” learn ” such a broad topic over so many years. 

So the best way to help a person is to share with them the idea that it is possible to change, that you have succeeded with the work of a specific expert. If you have a dishwasher that doesn’t work, you call a technician. If you meet someone who complains about the malfunction of their dishwasher, what do you do? Are you going to take it apart or do you recommend who solved our problem?

Today I’ve been officially presented to the City of New York as “Italian Excellence in the World” and first professional to enter of Learn Italy’s “Network of Excellences”.

The Ceremony held place inside the Consulate General of Italy in new York, hosted by the Consul General Francesco Genuardi, the Added Consul Silvia Limoncini, the deputy Secretary of the Italian Abroad General Committee Silvana Mangione. Present also Massimo Veccia, presidente of Learn Italy, that has selected me as first of many to comes “excellences”

I had the privilege to give a little speech there, talking about my “craftmanship” as a Vocal Coach who cares about the voices of every single person, and does her job as an artisan, taking care of each one as an individual.

This is a video extract form the Ceremony.
