Specialties

I focus on developing the simple foundations that are the basis of accomplishing our goals.

Keep it simple, basic and clear is my philosophy.

Once we have a good foundation any genre or style can be improved.

Lesson Details

Regardless of the genre you sing, developing your voice with Gabriel's help will improve your tone, range, power and overall ability. You can expect to become a much better singer without losing any of your personal and unique traits.

The approach isn't a technical or mysterious one, it's all about re-learning the facts about how the voice functions best. You can expect to clear away a lot of confusions regarding how the voice works and to take away the guesswork from the vocal development ... process. If you want to improve your voice quickly, being guided by someone who understands how it all works and by someone who was where you are today and is now closer to where you want to be in the future. Gabriel is that guy.

Gabriel's approach is quite simple yet very effective at developing the entire voice. There are two basic levels that every singer must address. The first one is addressing the condition of the body and voice and the second one is addressing the functioning of the voice and body.

Silent Foundation

The silent foundation refers to the condition of your instrument as it is silent. If we are looking at the body as an instrument that sings, we first have to make sure that our instrument is in good condition. How healthy is your instrument? Is it well rested, well hydrated and loose? Or is it tired, dehydrated and tense? As you could guess the condition of your instrument will have a significant impact on the quality of the sounds you can make. So the first thing to be addressed is how is your instrument doing while it’s silent, before it starts making sound?

Conditioning of Singing Behaviors

This is where we get busy. Once we have a well rested, healthy, hydrated and relaxed instrument we can start working it out to condition our singing behaviors to be reflexive, reliable and strong. The way to do this is through a series of vocal exercises that will condition your voice to respond to the desires of your heart. Whatever it is that you want to express will be possible once your instrument is conditioned to the point where there is no gap between what you want to express and your ability to do so. Learning to sing is all about learning how to express yourself without barriers. You should be able to develop enough range, power, control and skill so that you can express your heart without feeling like you’re incapable of achieving what you pursue. To achieve these abilities training is often necessary.
