Vocal Expression:

Every healthy person begins with the potential to express, through voice, an enormous range of feelings and thoughts, which are a reflection of who they are in the greater context of the universe, an enormously intertwined phenomenon, which brings the full connection of body and the inextricable connection of mind.

We all have a fundamental frequency specific to us. All people possess the phylogenic disposition to sing: Singing is not an extension of speech but a diminution of song. Voice is a complex phenomenon. It is a product (sound) which is invisible, made from a place of the body we can not see (larynx) or sometimes feel, linked to both emotional and physical responses, with an output we hear differently to those around us.

Vocal-Dynamics echo psychodynamics: Voice is a reflection of self. Voice is a reflection of body which is a reflection of mind. There is no vocal change without personal change. There is a cumulative vocal tendency which is a reflection of our culture. Organizational culture is a
particularly divisive culture for voice. If western culture is a psychic prison, the organizational culture is a solitary confinement.

Philosophies of change:

 Vocal and emotional capacity and expression cannot be ‘taught’, but they can be ‘released’.
 Vocal perception does not match reality.
 Voice is a kinaesthetic experience first and foremost.
 There are no right or wrong answers or methods, only personal insights.
 No single path will suffice.
 Manipulating personal sound offers the opportunity to deal with habitually poor body and mind
patterning, which is a result of the way we use that energy to present ourselves in the world.
 Of the jigsaw of independent, hierarchical and necessary elements of voice, breath is the
keystone for all vocal work, for which posture is the foundation.
 Understanding your voice is understanding your personal journey.
 Any pedagogy for the development of vocal intelligence must recognise the intricate connection of
duality such as the emotional and rational brain, the effect of left and right brain hemispheres,
and the extent of unconscious and autonomic functioning as well as conscious processes.
 It is impossible to teach yourself to sing – we do not hear ourselves as others do.
 Work on voice is,therefore, by nature, sometimes directive.

Phonology,Neurolinguistics,Sociolinguistics:

With the study of language in social context. The study currently includes such areas as language and social interaction, language contact and change, Sociolinguistic variation, discourse analysis, crosscultural communication, narrative and oral history, language and identity, language and ageing, endangered and minority dialects, language and health care, and forensic linguistics. Phonology of how sounds are organized and used in natural language and Neurolinguistics which is concerned with the neural mechanisms underlying the comprehension, production and abstract knowledge of language be it spoken,signed or written. These methods, allowed me to formulate vocal expression and create protest sounds,gunfire, shifting, mechanization and sounds of lament in the construction of VOZ DA REVOLUÇÃO.
